Day 1 of Western Conference Finals

It is day 1 of the NBA Western Conference Finals. It will be fun to see how the fouling Spurs fare against MVP Kobe and his Lakers.

The Eastern Conference finals seem to be a Home-winner affair. The Celtics have been undefeated at home so far in the post season. Do the Pistons have it in them to defeat the Celtics at home?

Home Computer Issues

The Home computer had a major issue. It wouldn't boot up sometimes. I thought I must accidentally put it to sleep without realizing that there is no way for it wake up since I have a wireless keyboard and mouse.

After opening it up again today, I found that pressing the power button switches everything ON and the whole system turns off itself in about a second. The only indication that something is amiss on the mother-board was an orange light (CR12J2) next to the blue power light. Later after some searching I realized that I did not seat the memory correctly. (I think it must have been displaced because I have been fiddling around with the case wiring on the mother board). Removing the memory and putting it back in did the trick. Now my new baby is back up again to its full glory. A Vista User experience rating of 5.3 (not bad huh!)
