One of them was to start a project that has been on my mind since I started listening to music: Trace Element. What is it? Trace Element is a way for  me to share my appreciation of music with others. It is also a creative outlet that allows me to express and explore my creative and technical aptitude in the http://www.zr07.com/2011/02/trace-element-i-muon.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ZR07)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799796714833298277.post-5281776098983347859Thu, 10 Sep 2009 07:01:00 +00002009-09-10T00:01:53.341-07:00Tech - How-toI was futzing with my main computer's hard drive setup today and ran into a very weird problem: one of my 1TB drives (full of data) all of the sudden became 32MB! All data is gone! It even shows 32MB in BIOS. I tried plugging the drive into either of the on board controllers but the problem persists. Changing the SATA power connector didn't work either.

Those little guys are super compact and easy to use so you carry them everywhere with you. Sure you can lug around a large DSLR (and, while you're at it, add an 18-200 lens) to ensure you get the best shots possible but many times the DSLR is just too inconvenient. Sometimes it's better to tuck a Powershot in your shirt/pant/short pocket http://www.zr07.com/2009/08/turn-your-little-canon-point-and-shoot.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ZR07)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799796714833298277.post-448187879565396966Fri, 28 Aug 2009 03:35:00 +00002009-08-28T15:12:58.585-07:00Deals HP MediaSmart Server EX485 - $419 Free Shipping or $348 w/EPP (Employee Preferred Pricing) HPShopping.com has $150 off the MediaSmart Servers, and coupon code SV2132 for $30 off $150, and free shipping.

The laptop has an external DVD-ROM drive but, of course, it doesn't work. I tried booting from a USB drive, doesn't work either (BIOS is too old and does not support booting from USB). Now what? Network booting is out of the question as it involves too much work to setup a PXE server and it doesn't make sense for a single laptop install.
