Ok, so recently I just built a new PC and moved over my two Seagate Barracuda 1TB drives into it. Not even a few hours after running, one of the seagates starts making a clicking sound and whatnot, I checked the SMART information for the drive using CrystalDiskInfo and it said that it had a very high amount of reallocated sectors. Ok, so I disconnected that one. A few days later my other Seagate 1TB started giving me issues.. What the hell's goin...

I have changed the theme of my blog to Huex from WPNow. Let me know what you think :)...

Here is a purely CSS-based dropdown menu that I threw together real quick for my blog. It doesn't use any javascript and works in all major latest browsers (Not you IE6 - You need to die already :P) If you have any issues or questions leave them in a comment below. Please Note: This is just a simple example for you to base your own menus off of. It does not take into account browser screen width or height (to prevent opening menus off-scree...

I definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a free and open source project management application to take a look at OpenGoo. For more information about OpenGoo be sure...

Well, it's been difficult but dewPixel Hosting is starting to get back to normal after the hard drive crash last week. Had a little issue today with one of iWeb's switches that caused the server to go down for about an hour but nothing was lost (thankfully). dewPixel is accepting new customers so if anyone is in need of hosting by all means give dewPixel Hosting a visit....

Just ordered one of these routers from Newegg.com about a week ago. The thing that's great about this router is it actually allows you to install your own custom firmware (Such as DD-WRT) to it. In fact, the only reason I bought this particular router was for that reason alone. I now have my own personal network setup in my room that connects my laptop, home server, and desktop all together. I setup DD-WRT to connect to my main router via wireles...

Today I downloaded and installed the 32-Bit Windows 7 RC1 to my Dell Studio 15 laptop. Everything is running great so far. My laptop has 3GB of RAM and windows 7 with aero on, high performance power setting, and my anti-virus and firewall (ESET) running takes up only 700 MB of system memory, that's some great optimization. I plan on giving the 64-Bit version a try on my desktop computer to see how it runs....
