  • ID ten T error

    I was having trouble with my computer.  So I called Richard, the 11-year-old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.

    Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

    As he was walking away, I called after him, “So, what was wrong?”

    He replied, “It was an ID ten T error.”

    I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, “An, ID ten T error?  What’s that?  In case I need to fix it again.”

    Richard grinned. “Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?”

    “No,” I replied.

    “Write it down,” he said, “and I think you’ll figure it out.”

    So I wrote it down: I D 1 0 T

  • Dell 5150c not noisy any longer

    My desktop, a Dell Dimension 5150c, purchased about 3-4 years ago, was annoyingly noisy for a while. Last time when I changed the PSU, I thought the annoyance would go away. But it didn’t. The CPU fan, San Ace 80, was the main culprit. At sometimes (which was almost everytime) it used to power the CPU fan so loud, that to listen to music or watch a video, we had to pump up the volume to almost twice than usually should be.
    Today I took up in my mind to replace it, and switched to a Kama-Flex.
    Superbly quiet, about 2500 rpm, and cooling efficiency nothing comparable to the older one.
    Was worth the try!

  • Amrita turns 1 year today

    Our most beloved (did I mention adorable?) daughter turned 1 year today at exact 14:15H Japan time. Phew, it seems ages ago! She took full 3 days to choose to come out of mama’s cozy stomach room. She did give a hard time to her mother – got a sore throat from screaming with contraction pains.

    No matter what, she is the hearbeat of our life. There isn’t a single moment when we do not think of her. Our day starts only to end with her every time. Amrita is the most beautiful daughter for us.

    Today she got in the park with her mama, playing , enjoying the cool weather with mama of course 🙂 and then coming home for a NICE treat – a mango stuffed delicious yummy cake , which of course wasn’t to be eaten alone without her new friend , little Fumi.

    We wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY dearest Amrita!
    Roses are red, violets are blue,… whatever – we will always LOVE you! 😀
