Coming back online…

So I’ve been offline most of October – I resigned from Microsoft and started in a new position at Bloomberg (I’ll write a post on that at some point).

I just wanted to drop that comment and to say that I just had an AGP video card die on my old XP system. The system was the last white box system I built about ten years ago. Six years ago in July of 2004 I upgraded the CPU, video card and power supply and reinstalled Windows XP and it’s been running rock solid ever since up until today.

I pulled an old system pull video card from my parts closet and I was on my way again.

I love keeping old system parts; how else can you fix your PC at 8PM on a Tuesday?
