The Birth of Hermit Lit

That's definitely me - natural born hermit. (And I love cheese!)

Avoid Co-Dependency The War on Addiction

Glenda. It is indeed sad to watch a couple fall into those roles and feel powerless to do anything. Denial is deeply rooted by this phase. But there is always hope and a good reason to find a way to get across to this couple you've mentioned. I should write something about it. Thanks for commenting.

Speccy: An Easy Way to Check Your PC's Performance

Is 100C when there's actually smoke coming out of it? It seems very high to me still. If that was Fahrenheit, I'd be happier.

Oh! Sorry, I'll have to think of another article about dusting a notebook instead, though it's bound to be the same principles. The same stuff is in there, just smaller or compacted more together.

How to tell if your cat is playing or angry

I'm sorry to hear that. I know that she is well loved and living the life of luxury. So she will be very happy. I hope you are doing well, I know what a weak kitty can do to you.

Speccy: An Easy Way to Check Your PC's Performance

After the initial panicking, I went googling and it turned out that as long as it don't pass 100C it's safe.. As for dusting, more googling needed (your article's on desktops, mine's a notebook, so everything's probably crammed together) Pretty sure mine will look dustier than your comp #2 :P

How to Dust a Computer

Incredibly, amazingly, terribly, enormously, fabulously useful article. Deserves an EC! :)

Speccy: An Easy Way to Check Your PC's Performance

The graphics cards are designed for gaming (well, they are if you got one for gaming!), so they can run a bit hotter than the rest. However, once you go over a maximum of, say, 80 degrees Celsius, then you are looking at a problem.

That's just on the graphics. The rest of your CPU shouldn't be getting any higher than 50.

Time to give it a bit of a dust, see if that brings the core temperature down?

Why move to Austin, Texas? (Before it's too late)

I loved Austin when I lived there. But I'm in Willis now to be near my elderly dad who's in Houston. Willis is nice, but you couldn't pay me to live in Houston again. I'm not a city gal. I need the wide open spaces.

Pictures Of Texas - Hill Country Wildflowers And Longhorns

Love it. Somehow, Zebu cattle don't look a bit out of place in Texas.

Speccy: An Easy Way to Check Your PC's Performance

57C for CPU, 55C for motherboard, 52C for graphics, and it's pretty much sitting there idle.. If I start gaming it'd go all the way to 80-90C.. *gulps*

Viewing the Cerne Abbas Giant

You're very welcome. :)

At one time, they experimented with just having sheep up there to keep the grass trim. It didn't work so well, so now it's human beings every 25 years re-cutting the lines.

Viewing the Cerne Abbas Giant

I love that even now, people still go up there to maintain this beautiful (if a little phallic) piece of history.

Thanks for explaining why there's this huge picture of a naked guy carved into our countryside!

Speccy: An Easy Way to Check Your PC's Performance

Yes, that's one of the computers in this house. That was freshly booted with little going on in the background. It's a desktop.

What temperature is yours running at? Mine's currently 105 according to Speccy.

Speccy: An Easy Way to Check Your PC's Performance

The screenshot of Speccy you included, that's yours? In which state of running is your computer on? Just freshly booted or mid-games and full of processes running in the background? Also, notebook or desktop?
(My temperature's a little crazy so I'm checking around lol)
