You know your development team has memory leaks when you get this, and even after repeated attempts to make them fix the problem, they just keep ignoring you.
Therefor, I hope they lost data when the machine had to under go a reboot.

Well the LCD screen looked great in the car, but had some defect from what ByByte was telling me after I shipped it back a few days ago when it would not turn on from the wall adapter. Wrote me an email late last night saying that they shipped me out a new (or repaired with new LCD screen) one. Hopefully will be here shortly, I hate USPS with burning passion though.
ByByte is recommending via their website that I use the small DC regulator that came with the screen to connect to the car itself. Not sure I am going to keep it that way, but I have no choice at the moment. I might pickup a 12v DC-DC power supply that takes in a 12v lead to power on and off the screen and regulate the spikes and dips in voltage. I don’t trust the little LCD power egg to handle it, though this version looks much better then the old LCD power egg that I never used.
Going the headless install with just a few buttons was going well until I found a nice LCD built for my car, for a very reasonable price. Combined with a few other devices, I decided to go ahead and remove the factory head unit completely.
I chose to go with:
Touch Screen
JoyCon (Steering Wheel Controls)
GMOS-01 Integration Harness
Everything else is installed and working with my old lcd that is still flailing around in the car. I still need to find a better place for the 2×16 serial LCD that currently sits on the dash above the DIC.
There are two things that I am really fucking tired of seeing.
First thing, companies marketing ‘supercharged’ servers or computers. Look, until that fucker comes with pulleys, belts and a fucking Eaton or Whipple Supercharger bolted to the top of it, stop saying that. The server is not supercharged, it’s not faster then the same machine from a different company of the same class setup with the same software and tweaked the same.
Second, I am tired of seeing ‘Green’ server rooms with grass growing under the floor tiles or around the racks. This is a god damn server room, it’s not a sod farm. Wild animals do not roam the server room grazing. (Not counting lost IT personnel in the larger more fun server rooms.)
Well I have not had the honor of having a troll on my site in a long time. Looks like the entire subnet 66.76.0.0/16 which belongs to Suddenlink Communications, looks like it’s current owner is Cox Cable Internet, gets a lifetime ban for being a complete moron, not reading the articles before commenting and being a general pest.
I don’t think people understand, this is ‘my’ website, and I maintain it. I run the server, and I don’t have a hosting company do shit for me. Yes, that means “What ever, I do what I want.” — Eric Cartman.
Yeah, another comment about Walmart. Yay, like we have never read one of these. Actually, I’m not upset about Walmart itself, I have never had a big problem with them. Big deal they don’t pay employees this or that. I don’t give a shit.
This is about the people that bring their entire fucking family to Walmart to go shopping. Why the FUCK do you need to bring all your kids, and your grandparents and your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend to get things at a store? God damn it! Shopping for a few things in a store should not involve waiting for fucking retarded idiots to get something off a shelf and get the fuck moving! Slap your child if he/she is screaming in the store, slap them for trying to pull stuff off shelves or better yet, leave them at home!
It’s already known that I hate people. Especially if they babble on about their problems after a call, here is an example of a call this morning.
Me: IT this is Wayne.
Caller: Hi, Mike.
This is where I do the face palm. WTF. Really. I don’t really mind if you don’t know my name and decide to make one up for me, but when I just stated my name to you. Fucking idiots!
Then comes the problem.
Caller: Basically what I’m trying to do is (print|fax|login|read|think|breath).
I hate it when the conversation starts with “Basically what I’m trying to do…” Because your most likely an idiot, you don’t know what your trying to do most of the time, and it’s most likely far from basic for your understanding.
What you need to do is shut up, listen to what I am saying, If I ask you to reboot the (machine|printer) and try again then please do it. I’m not trying to give you the run around, I want you off the phone as fast as possible by fixing your problem so you do not call back!
In Florida, or pretty much anywhere there are drivers, there are idiots. This guy must think that it is his ‘God given right’ to be in my lane when he has two more miles left in his before he has to make a decision to merge or turn right.
Here, I drew an intentionally shitty image to show you what this guy did.
I didn’t hit him, after he cut me off going thirty five in a fifty five lane but I did slam on my horn for a good thirty seconds behind him. I blew past him as he called me an asshole, and then I proceeded to brake until I was at his window again and could yell back “Learn how to drive FUCKWAD.”
I find that people think anyone who blows the horn is an asshole. Maybe if you don’t do stupid shit you would not get the horn, but I like using my horn to inform people they are wrong and an idiots. I love being the asshole with a horn.
