Today I, for the first time, modified a chip. I removed the underclock of my nslu2 CPU speed to increase it to 266 mHZ (was underclocked to 133mHZ previously.)

I actually succeeded and did not destroy my nslu2. It booted right back up and running the command cat /proc/cpuinfo returned:

BogoMIPS : 263.78

Before I removed the transistor on the nslu2 it was like 132.x

I am just sort of proud of my self now. By the way, I removed the transistor with a pair of finger nail clippers (I would not recommened this to others).

Well, I know I haven’t posted much lately. Mostly because of my desktop problem. Anyways it appears starting here in about 1 1/2 weeks I will start a steady schedule for work.

It appears I am going to become a full time closer for Taco Bell closing 5 nights a week and off 2. I will probably work Sunday-Thursday from like 6 or 9pm to 3am and be off Friday and Saturday. THIS MEANS NO MORE WORKING DAYS WHICH I HATE WITH A PASSION!!! PLUS NO MORE LIKE NO TIME INBETWEEN SHIFTS!!!

I will be very happy with this if it turns out this way. According to my source, it is a sure thing but my RGM is going to ask me first. Although I was told it doesn’t matter my answer I will be working this new schedule. Which that doesn’t matter because my answer will be a YES.

Well, my desktop (that is only like 6 months old) will not turn on now. Actually, it will turn on and stay on for 5second to maybe 5 minutes but that is it. I believe the PSU is going out. Over the past few days I thought something in my room had a faint burn smell….well, now I know what it was.

My PSU after being on smells really bad, like a burning smell…So I think that is the problem. This will probably cost me $50 on ebay or so. I should note that this is the second PSU that has went out on me in the last year.

I should point out that this means I probably wont be around that often for the next week or so to talk to people who use my chat feature.

Today my site turned 1 year old. I registered the domain jeremyjefferson.com on October 6th 2005 and moved my old personal site (jeremy.jwjkp.com) over to the new domain that same day. Due to work I have not been able to compile some of the statistics I wanted to show on this post, but I will edit this later adding them.

The one main one, my site has seen almost 200,000 hits in the last year.

Wow, it seems like the last time I had a day off was a year ago. After working six days in a row I now have two days off in a row. In fact, this is the first time since I started working at Taco Bell, over three months ago, that I have got more than one day off in a row. This upcoming week is going to be filled with stuff.

Tomorrow (or later today) I am expecting three things in the mail.

1) A check for over $600
2) A movie I bought from eBay
3) Headlights I bought from eBay

The check is the remainder of my financial aid money for school that was not spent on book, tuition, and other stuff for college. The movie is actually my dads, but I bought it for him. Aint I nice?

Now to the headlights. The other week I got a new car. The new car is a 1995 Dodge/Plymoth Neon. I had to buy headlights, which are actually the headlamps not lights, because the ones on the car are so fogged over what appears to be burn marks that they distort all the light.

I have $20 bulbs on each side and can not even see the road 100 feet ahead of me. Hopefully these new headlamps, that I paid almost $73 for, will fix that.

Two other exciting things happen later this week.

On October 6th my site will turn 1 year old. That’s right, this site has now been online for a year (as of the 6th). On October 6th, 2005 this site first went on line under the new domain www.jeremyjefferson.com. My personal site before this was at www.jeremy.jwjkp.com. On October 6th I will be posting some very interesting stats about how this site has grown over the last year.

On October 8th it will be my birthday. I turn 20 on the 8th and will no longer be a teenager.

That’s all for this post. God bless you all.
