it goes and it goes

searching for drivers for a Creative Labs Video Blaster RT 300, video capture card

it's pretty old, the copyright on the card itself is 1994

not having a whole lotta luck

well damnit

like i really needed to remind you people i'm an absent minded bitch

kal already found the drivers, they're installed
the problem is the jumper settings

he told me this
i forgot of course

the diagnostic in the drivers says the problem is the input/output range:

Input/Output range: 02E4 - 02E7
Interrupt Request: 9

i have no idea what that means, there are 8 jumpers on the card and 1-3 have jumpers on them

*sigh*

help

here are the specs of the card, does any of this tell me the jumper settings?

why can't it be as simple as hd jumpers?

this is what the jumpers look like on the card, all in a row, the brackets are the ones that are closed by the jumpers, the others are open

J1 [--]
J2 [--]
J3 [--]
J4 --
J5 --
J6 --
J7 --
J8 --

*yawn*

this is getting to be almost routine, Sunday night i stay up all night and do kal's laundry and stuff

well he made fun of me for searching for the drivers for hours, even tho he said it took him and cryo a long time too, thanks r-teeste for the helpful linkage, i'm sure kal will figure it out, i'd figure it out eventually if i had to i'm sure but that's what i have a mexican for isn't it?

my laptop and my desktop are networked together, i chose the network card instead of the modem(only one slot) and i'm glad i did, it's easier to dl stuff with the laptop, and with my tiny 2 computer network i just download it directly to the desktop

so anyhow as soon as the jumper issue gets resolved and i find some disks, my desktop will be all ready for full abuse >:)

now i shall mock all you sundwellers and retire to my coffin for the day

BUY MY PICKLED HEDGES SUCKERS!

if you don't know what i'm talking about this post isn't for you</font

unless you're one of those that likes it when i'm cryptic

i know there are a couple people that have been watching for a public statement or opinion about what's happened

frankly if i'm not aware of why i cause offence or trouble, if i can't figure out what to say to fix it, and everything i say makes things worse, then how am i going to find the words for myself?

some people have told me to go away, other people have told me the fact that i've done so is the cause of the problem, some people say my words and actions are the problem, other people say my lack of words or actions are the problem

what did i win exactly? loss of someone i liked a lot

all of you that i have disappointed and hurt and offended, i just don't know what to say, i can't defend myself because i tend to agree with anything bad said about me if said by people i considered friends, i dislike arguing and will avoid it at all costs if i ever really liked or respected you

kal all but ordered me to stop hiding from irc a little bit ago, a good friend of many years has lectured me about how hiding isn't helping anything, but i can't believe it'll help anyone to have me around right now

admittedly i should leave livejournal alone if i'm truly hiding, but i can't bring myself to

*sigh*
oh well a whole lot of words to say i don't know what to say or think or do

jumper problems are easier to worry about, at least they eventually make logical sense

resume candy and ice cream entires>>>

i'd like to thank the academy ...

well, wow
thanks to all of you who talked to me and are talking to me on irc right now, even tho i wasn't asking it's still nice to know when one's missed

and most of all, thank you for not kissing my ass, the last thing i need is to be argued with by means of ass kissing when i'm expounding on my faults
unless it's literal kissing of my bottom, in which case we can talk ;) (hi lil)
oh yeah sarcastic ass kissing is always funny and welcome

i have pizza and you don't! NYAH!
