An early start

My little computer also serves as my clock at night. I turn on a screen saver which is a giant digital clock. I can halfway open one eye in the middle of the night and know how many hours I get to sleep.

This is the same computer that got Windows 7 yesterday. Last night the screensaver clock stopped at 11:20. The computer kept freezing dead after about 15 minutes of inactivity. I kept waking up and seeing it was 11:20. Finally about 5:15, I woke up thinking about it and decided it was a driver issue.

Finally I got up and looked in the device manager. No uglies there. Then I found the answer in a Windows 7 forum (a usb power setting needed to be disabled). Whew.

So now I'll be a little earlier to the gym. No biggie. I do have work work to do today and I can use the early start.

Gym Report - cardio

I kinda cheated a little. I'm trying to get to 3.0 with either or both of the elevation programs that the treadmill provides for a solid 30 mins.

Today I did 30 minutes mostly 2.8 and only half of that time was with an elevation program. Most of it was at .5 or just flat. I'm a slacker. But if you want to shoot me you'll have a hard time finding the lean meat to aim at!! Ha!

There was some kind of class going on and a fair number of people on the cycle and treadmill machines plus a full boat in the weight area. Muscle up for VD day?

Me? I'm going to shower and then get to work!

S'hope with Seagate?

In December my big o' Maxtor drive died. Under warranty. I sent it back to the tune of $10. I got a replacement. It last 10 days.

I went to the Seagate site and filed a case saying I wanted them to pay the $10 this time. That was on January 25. I got an email saying I'd hear back in 24 hours. In 2 days, after hearing nothing I sent them an email. The next week, after no response, I sent another.

Earlier this week I checked their website and discovered all was major foobar. Ditto the phone.

Yesterday morning, the website was back. I edited my 'case' to ask politely WTF????? I waited 24 hours. Heard nothing.

Today I called. I sat on hold for 45 minutes. After I finally got my point across to the dude who answered, he promised me a prepaid shipping label and gave me an RMA number.

I got the RMA email within minutes. But, of course, no prepaid shipping label.

I waited 2 hours.

I went back to their website and signed on to chat. Only waited about 10 minutes this time. Gave 'em the case number and the RMA number and asked where the fuck my preprinted shipping label was. Jason H. said 10 mins.

And in 10 mins (well, 19 days, 6 hours and 10 mins, actually) I have my shipping label.

Now, lets see if they can produce a drive that works!

sheesh.
