Quick Note about Ping.Fm

... For any of you who are signed up to a bunch of social network and micro blogging sites Ping.fm can be your Best Friend. ... Basically you set up an account with them, then link all your other accounts to it. Then to update all your micro Blog's and Profile statuses all you have to do is go to Ping.fm instead of each page individually. ... I am prob one of the last people to eventually find this site but I still think its worth mentioning. (also I think that Chris should see if he can some… Continue

Router Dying need a cheap-to-Free replacement.....

... My Old D'link router seems to be on its way out so its time for me to find a new one. I am a big believer in recycling old products if you can instead of buying something new, so I am putting a call out. ... If there is anyone on here who has an old router they are no longer using that they would be willing to give away or sell cheaply I would be interested. ... Only thing is it needs at least 4 wired ports and if its wifi that would be a plus but if not oh well (this one isn't) ... Good… Continue

Free Ubuntu Disk in the Mail..... and Stickers :P

... Well apparently at some point in time I had ordered a Ubuntu disk, cause when I went down to check if I had any Mail today what did I find but a free Ubuntu Live CD (which is free anyways :P) and some Ubuntu Stickers. ... This may sound childish but stickers are great. In my opinion if a company wants there name out there a lil more put a sticker in with all your products, trust me that sticker will end up somewhere where a lot of people will see it, no matter the product...

Headphones.... Use them....

... I was at the coffee shop not more than a few minutes ago and it was way to noise to bother staying around. Come on people I don't care how much you like your music, I don't want to hear it when I sitting a few tables down from you, headphones were created with a purpose, use them. ... Thank you to all who do use there headphones, and to those who don't use them, just get a cheap set from your dollarstore at the very least, or don't listen to your music in public. Continue

System Upgrade..... I am GIGAGEEK!!

... Ah it seems like only yesterday that I reached my ranking of Megageek, and yet even still, as I look at these ranking names I still think of the show reboot. ... I must say this site has been changing a lot lately, all for the good mind you. I think the site could use a "Marketplace" feature, but I already covered that Here. ... Despite all the talk that went on in regards to whether or not we should have the r… Continue

I think I just seen "The Littlest Hobo"

... I wish I would have had my Video camera, cause it wasn't bright enough out for my cell phone cameras (probably cause its 5 in the morning), but I was walking down the road and out of nowhere there comes a dog. ... Now this wasn't just any dog (well ya it sorta was) it looked exactly like the Littlest Hobo, from that old TV show. He was just walking down the road looking here n there, and as he walked passed me he kinda looked up and winked (well honestly a blink, but I'll say a wink) and kep… Continue

Another Night, and the Network highways are busy

... another night of browsing the web with no real purpose, search for something to pass the time, as I 'rest' from my search for repair and diagnostic tools. ... The Network Highway is buzzing tonight as files zip from one system to another, I never thought having 3 computers would cause me to have all my files spread out so much, really makes me wonder is getting/making a NAS would be that much hassle/expense? ... All Hard Drives approaching Maximum capacity.... No more blank DVD's..... This… Continue

I am Megageek, Destroyer of Systems....

I don't know why but when I look through the names of the Different Geek Levels in the Points systems, I hear the names and I picture one of 2 things.... 1) Giant Robots Battling (lol) 2) Computer Viruses in the Style of the old Cartoon "Reboot", Like Megabyte, Daemon and Hexadecimal. Am I the only one..... And the Geekiness seeps forth..... Continue

Someone always online.....

Only a short little blurb this time.... One of my favorite things about Gees.Pirillo.com is that, unlike my Facebook (Which is mostly people I know personally), there seems to always be at least a handful of people on at any given time. I am a sporadic user and will be on many times a day/night at odd times, yet no matter what time I am on and make a blog or discussion there are always people on to read it.... I find this makes me like the site that much more. Having to wait only minutes or hou… Continue

Geek TV... What do you want to watch...

... I made a Discussion about this but I also wanted to make a blog post, I figured it might help me to get a few more responses. ... I am doing a small project, in which I am creating a TV schedule for a week of TV programing for a fictitious TV station. Basically it is a TV station Created, Maintained and watched by Geeks, so I need to know what TV show/Movies that Geeks would want to watch..... ... So what would you want to watch? also if anyone has any other suggestions in regards to this… Continue

My Bordom and the Day Time Stood Still

... Another Night, and yet again I cannot sleep, so I sit here staring into my computer screen wondering why Time Seems to Drag by. ... I came to realize today, as I was waiting for it to become tomorrow, that when you want time to go by fast it seems to drag at a very slow speed, yet the very moment you want time to go as slow as possible (Like a wonderful night with a Loved one) it speeds up and your out of time before you know it. ... Now I know I can't be the only one who feels like this....… Continue

Spore, Spore, SPORE!!!

... Once again it is almost 5 in the morning and I am still sitting at my computer playing Spore. This Game is very addictive, Every time I exit out to my main menu instead of clicking exit, I just go into one of my other games.... ... This Game is definitely worth looking at if anyone hasn't already tried it. But be warned, you may not stop playing.... ... Now I am back of into Space.... Continue

Its good to be a fan...

... It pays off sometimes to let someone know you like there product. I sent off a little email a few days ago to the Dr. Pepper company saying that there pop is my preferred soda drink. Today I go to my mail box to find a small brown package. ... Inside this package was a Not saying thank you for enjoying our product, an "Oldschool" Dr. Pepper T-Shirt and a ticket for a free case of Dr. Pepper, which I then promptly went out and got. ... Now if only Computer companies would give you small samp… Continue

You Have to watch Every Movie at least twice.

... I am currently listening to SModcast 63 (which for those of you who don't know is Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier's Podcast) and Kevin made a good point in regards to watching Movies. ... You need to watch any movie at least twice to fully appreciate it. I say this (and so did he) because the first time that you go to see a Movie you have these preconceptions about what your think is gonna happen, and how the movie is g… Continue

Disturbed by A Geek generalization...

... In a blog post I wrote earlier this evening I was a little disturbed by a comment left by Slippy Lane the comment read "True geeks run linux, and only use Vista for benchmarks so we can boast how much quicker our linux boxen are. This is why your question didn't get an immediate response :-D" ... Now I know the majority of Geeks do use Linux, I even use gOS (A version of Ubutu) on occasion, But I think its unfair for someone to say "T… Continue
