Since I bought my house the master bedroom door would not close. I have been wondering for some time now If the frame was square or maybe the hinges were bad. I was not in any hurry to get it fixed. Several months went by and the mystery still lingered when I would try to close my door.

Now almost a year has gone by and I felt this past weekend it was time to solve the mystery. I had already bought new hinges several months ago. It was not the hinges. I bought a 24" squaring tool to make sure both the door and the frame was okay. Sure enough, they were both find. I decided to measure the width of the door after seeing it fit perfectly without the hinges installed. To my surprise that was the problem. I quickly measure the other doors inside the house. The width of each door is 29.75 inches. The bedroom door was not cut correctly. As you can see from the photo, the door's width is an extra 1/8" too wide. That extra 1/8" is causing the problem. Now I just need to find a table saw...

Tonight an unwelcome surprise came my way. Both of my video cards in my dekstop computer have fried. They both didn't go at once though. The first one died a couple months back. Now the second one just did. There was no power surge or anything like that. They simply just gave out. This is the first time in my life of owning a computer to have a card die on me. I guess it has to happen to everyone at one point or another. 

If you haven't guessed it already, I didn't waste any time. I did trouble shooting to make sure the card were in fact dead. I really didn't want to upgrade any parts to my PC. Everything was running fine, but you got to do what you got to do. I ordered two new EVGA nVidia 250 GTS 1GB cards. They are far superior than these two cards are and I should see a speed improvement for sure. They may even come tomorrow at the earliest, but they will be here Monday at the latest (assuming they ship from California). Thankfully I have my iPhone and laptop to still do what I need to do.

Finally was able to get a photo of phoebe watching me work on the computer. I would tell stories of how she would watch me play games, but I don't think a lot of people believed me. Granted the photo only shows me playing with the mouse, but she gets bored too quickly if it isn't a FPS game. Half life 2 was her favorite a couple years ago.

Arriving a week earlier than expected, the new Dell Studio 1558 was in my hands this early afternoon. I made sure to get the i5 intel CPU and man does this machine fly. Full 1920x1080 resolution, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, 300GB HD, DVD burner, creative x-fi sound card, web cam, and more! Time to get it setup the way I like it!
