Computer Problems

Rivalry Weekend

Back in Germany, we would get the games on really late in the evening, but I still remember the days of Pitt v Penn State, Oklahoma v Nebraska, USC v Notre Dame. At the time all the schools were really good and the games did not disappoint. As I came stateside, I was able to [...]

I am in the money baby!

I just got this email from the Central Bank of Nigeria, so happy to hear that there was a debt settlement with my name on it. Apparently all I have to do to get this money is wire them $220 for an ATM card. I mean what are the chances of this happening? I did [...]

Working From Home

I have found over the last two days that working from home has a lot of benefits and also a lot of pitfalls. One of the major pitfalls of working from home is the fact that you have so many things around you to distract you. Be it the television, the Wii, the television, the [...]
