various ramblings I have done everything I could to eliminate feeds from a former friend, and I see no way to do it. I presume there is no overt hostility at this time, but it's unwise to associate. For instance if someone accuses you of flaming or trolling, just drop them; that ends it and puts you out of reach of quite possible legal activity. I can't put this journal on an actual dead-letter e-mail address (invalidated by lack of use and probably hacked by someone for spamming) or that would lock the journal. Odd. Very odd. G Just possibly I do have to give this one up. Anyway, for the time being, I am yet writing poetry, as I have for 50 years. I'm thinking now I have to find an online list of someone who accepts online submissions. The "sociological" dissertation I've been working on now for about a year is nearing a point where I'm going to have to make on-computer notes. I may well just make a new blog for that and mark it private. The notes for it don't have to be. However, my ability to trust has become and is becoming steadily smaller; so it goes. G Current mood: I suspect that people are going to find me more and more distant. I did abandon a friend a few years ago knowing I'd never see him again. Of course he'd told me to do so years before. I sent my mother [legally my aunt] to do what she said she most desired, to live with her daughter in Christ, knowing quite well that wasn't what she quite wanted. I attempted to end a years'-long friendship today. I have disowned completely my legal family (my aunt and uncle by blood) and the cousin who is living, child of my aunt. And child-molester which might explain my reaction to someone. At the same time I found that over a hundred people have found me some sort of figure to respect. They think I'm wise, or something. I find myself becoming more and more detached. A part of that is the fact that I'm in constant pain and painkillers have been withdrawn. Another part of it is hopefully illusory and not to be mentioned at this point. If I'm correct about the way that changes have happened in human societies there are various deadly implications. That choice is in some cases largely illusory largely unquestionable is quite the bitter realization. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/0 And yes really an article in the Register. G although I'd think it would make a GREAT honeymoon site. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/0 Naturally, this appealed to my juvenile sense of humor. G http://www.roadkil.net/program.php?Prog The hard disk is the roadkill, not the computer/user...it comes recommended by Tech Republic. Good program to have in hand. G A mutual pledge. No suicides and attempting not even to consider it. You hear that, Lady T.? You hear that? G First of all, it boils down to a lot of these monitors employed an ACER S271HL chip. That chip is not listed on the ACER website. The problem is apparently that when used with an HDMI plugin the BIOS can't correspond with the monitor--in the way that the monitor will accept. Thus the "Check cables" message. Secondly, a lot of us with problems were using video cards that were during a particularly heavy call for dedicated video cards--mostly those made for Dell. This meant that native updates for the motherboards in question (apparently mostly the inspiron series) wouldn't work, because the suggested video card was AMD while the motherboard video was...Intel. More than that, because of the model of the video card was basically non-existent (and still is) according to both Dell and AMD you can't get updates. This is the fruit of about two weeks' detective week. Don't trust the .inf files on the internet because they don't specify chip numbers. The solution, however, is to force the CTL monitor into VGA mode. Oddly enough the CTL 7Gx can then be detected by Windows, although BIOS will still not give the monitor a signal it can recognize. After the forced recognition by the driver software for your video card, it should perform adequately. Given that you have split screen capabilities and two monitors, you might be able to force a display. I was simply content to once again have a working monitor (before the addition of the video card...the inspiron could recognize the CTL 7Gx. So; force it into VGA and as soon as possible go out and get an HDMI capable monitor. And I'll even put in a plug for Overstock.com. Glenn Due to motherless spammers this journal's entries will be allowing comments by friends only. I hate spammers. G i would cry for thee had i tears left to shed --glenn |
