Well, I've worked about 3 weeks straight with minimal sleep (it must have been like what Sahil goes through everyday except I'm older than him). I covered 41 reporting and analysis products and wrote a lot of text. Hopefully it turns out OK (with that much work, I'm not 100% sure). There are some cool posts coming from this experience, but I have a 1 week lull and then I'm back into it for a week.
[Note to Jonas: I will get back to you as soon as I recover from the three week marathon writing assignment.]
I spent last evening trying to get Ultimate Spiderman and X-Men Legends2: Age of Apocolypse working; right now neither do. I get a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) in Windows XP shortly after I launch the games, and it's a driver issue. My next guess is to try to switch out CD-Rom drives (I currently have an older DVD burner in the machine). Everything else should be good Athlon XP 2000+, GeForce FX 5200, and the MoBo's builtin C-Media audio. I have the latest BIOS for the MoBo and all the latest drivers. No dice. I double click, I hear the Cd-Rom spin up, screen goes blank for a second and bam... BSOD... <sigh>
I can't even return it according to Best Buy's return policy since both boxes are open. <grrr /> I think I need to buy a console for gaming...
Any advice?
[Not sure where to put this; it is somewhat technology-related, but I don't think it's that technical, so it goes personal until I chat with Brendan]
