“Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.” -Ayn Rand

I challenge myself to write a list of my top 10 values and them prioritize them in order of importance. Then focus on being as true to them as I can.

I can’t remember off the top of my head of I’ve previously mentioned my computer problems here on my blog. A quick summary, I built a computer last year and around Christmas time it started having problems. I ran out of patience trying to fix it myself and handed it over to a computer repair tech a month ago. He and I have been going back and forth with it about once a week since.

Today I got the following email:
Hi Randy,

I hit a wall with MSI only getting a “maybe” to most of my questions.

But I did find a chip company that claims to have the original bios chip for your board.
If your willing to wait a bit I can order one as a backup and then try a reflash.

This is just a shot in the dark as I have not ordered from this company before and ordering from china is hit and miss at best.
But it is only a few bucks so may be worth a shot.

Letm e know if you want to try this.

Thank you–end email

I wrote back and asked how much it cost. He told me $15. I’ve just given him the go ahead to do this. As hard as the guy has worked to try to find a resolution, I’m inclined to give him one more chance. He seems to be taking this problem rather personally.

However having said all that, I’m about out of patience with him (I blame the MB manufacturer, not the computer tech). This will however be the last chance, and if it doesn’t work I’ll ask for my computer back and just replace the board myself. You can bet though that I will not ever be buying an MSI board again.

So James, George, and I recorded Politricks episode 2, our political podcast. The always awesome Nick recorded the show for us. I did the editing on it, and Ashley contributed by helping me get our opening song to the show put in place with nifty fading effects.

I played host to this show, so I kind of stayed out of a lot of the debate, though not all of it of course. Leonard is still very much a part of the show, but seeing as he is on his honeymoon in the middle of a jungle somewhere in Belize he was absent from this show. This was James first podcast with us, it was pretty cool to have him on.

We really need to find more than 1 liberal friend. George is a great guy and all, but with him being the only liberal we can’t do the show without him.

Anyway, here is another neat thing I figured out with Ashley’s help, I can embed the podcast from the politricks nation website directly into my website. So here it is for anyone who would like to give it a listen! Oh and if you want to download the show, you can do that directly from the politricks nation website
