My Site
Well… I’m going to start using this blog again. I’ll talk about my poker life and anything else I see fit. ![]()
Come back often – I promise I won’t neglect this site anymore.
BSOD during install of XP on new Dell E520
Ok… this is the second time this issue has come up in the last 3 months. The new Dell E520 come with SATA2 drives. In the BIOS config, they have RAID turned on by default. There is an option in the BIOS under ‘Drives > SATA Operation’ for ‘RAID/ATA’ or ‘RAID On’. You need to change the setting to ‘RAID/ATA’ as to remove the BSOD from the install procedure.
Nowhere on the internet is this to be found. I searched for hours the first time this came up. The BSOD error is ” STOP: 0×0000007B “.
Sometimes I wonder who makes the decisions for what defaults are on or off???
Well… I guess I can now say I’m just as cool as everyone else. I got a MySpace page!!

New Project: The Mineral Cache
My friends Jeff & Marcus opened a retail store in Fort Collins called The Mineral Cache. I created the company website, MineralCache.com, and installed a digital security system that I built. I hope to have a marketable system after this project. Same thing happened with my Phone Log/SMDR system.
Well… I’m registered and working on the Netflix Prize. If you haven’t heard, Netflix is running a contest for all us geeks in the amount of $1MIL!! Yeah, a million. All you have to do is beat their recommendation system ‘CineMatch’ by 10%… sounds easy, right?? Well, all you get is 200 million old ratings(1-5), given to a set of movies, from a set of customers. Now, all I need to do is figure out how to “predict” what a customer will rate a movie in the future, based on the given data. Sounds easy enough. :-p
All I know is… if I win this contest… no more Quantum.
Watch this clip and decide if the runner(me) is out or safe. I was called out, but I’m positive I was safe. Just thought I’d get some outside feedback, so tell me what you think.
Thanks.
