Motion Computing LE 1600 with 2 gb of ram!

Now you may say to yourself, so what? What’s so cool about that?

Well the thing is that Motion only officially supports 1.5 gb of memory on the LE 1600 and yet as you can see by my screen cap I have 2 gb! Pretty cool!

How did I do it you say? It’s Photoshop you say?

Nah… actually I didn’t do anything. The Motion LE1600 comes with 512 mb of memory soldered onto the board and there’s only one slot for additional memory. For some reason if you put a 2 gb card into the slot it disables the 512mb on the board and accepting the 2gb stick you just installed! It’s a shame it disables the soldered 512mb I know but at least I have an extra 512mb than I used to have!

Sweet!

Anyone who knows me will tell you I have a terrible sense of direction. One time it nearly killed me.

It was late one Friday night that I decided to pack it in and go home from the local bar we all hung out at; The Grill. I had driven myself that night having arrived late due to work. The Grill was an old Irish Pub and we were kings there. We acted as bouncers when it got too rowdy and were allowed to grab our own beer from time to time from behind the bar. The bartender Jimmy was about as Irish as they come. Reddish hair, an Irish lilt an almost finished cigar perpetually stuck into the side of his mouth as well as a beer gut and chubby face surrounding squinty eyes due to years peering through the smoke and haze of a late night bar pouring drinks for the wasted brethren. Now I won’t say I was drunk when I left The Grill but at 3 in the morning your brain doesn’t work as well as during the day regardless and as I hopped into the car for the trip home I probably should have paid more attention.

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the
Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked, ‘What are all those clocks?’

St. Peter answered, ‘Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a
Lie-Clock.

Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.’

‘Oh,’ said the man, ‘whose clock is that?’

‘That’s Mother Teresa’s. The hands have never moved, indicating that she
never told a lie.’

‘Incredible,’ said the man’. And whose clock is that one?’

St. Peter responded, ‘That’s Abraham Lincoln’s clock. The hands have moved
twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life.’

‘Where’s Obama’s clock?’ asked the man.

‘Obama’s clock is in Jesus’ office.

He’s using it as a ceiling fan.

True Stories Pt.14

When I was about 15 I lied to my parents. It didn’t turn out so well as you’ll soon find out.

When I was Freshman in High School I hung out with a group of about 6 guys. We were all misguided, wreckless troublemakers but were for the most part harmless. Recently we had discovered beer, however and that was our main focus every Saturday night… how to get some.

We used to hang out on the corner next to a convenience store where my friends and I would cut it up and tell jokes as well as try to out do each other with insults. I usually won.

One night my friend Russell had this great idea that we would tell each others parents that we were sleeping over each others houses and then we could stay out all night and drink beer.

Wooo! What a genius idea! We all went home to try this genius tactic, and it didn’t’ work on our friend’s parents. It did however work on mine and Russell’s. We had no idea what to do and jeered on by our friends that ‘they would soooo do it if they could…” and that we were “chicken if we didn’t” we elected to stay out all night.

So it was Russell and me against the world for one night… we were too stupid to think anything might happen… (more…)
