i'm going to have to download something. while i'm at it, let's write down that i need drivers for a kingston etherrx kne20plug ...

no, it didn't take it. i've got the card out in my hand and let's get the exact device name, here - ati rage theatre 213rt1zua32...

this thing has an ati all in wonder in it, which was a high end video card at the time. i can plug a cable line directly into it, and used t...

yeah - the exact thing i wanted to install has been installed, and it works great. perfect. now, i need to get the display driver updated......

yeah. the driver works. i just need to install it manually from the disc. ok. let's try to get the software running.

ok, wait. i think i might have got it. i'm so used to windows doing everything for me that i forgot that you used to have to tell it whe...

the software bundle on the iso is something very much like what i remember from years ago, so i'm going to stick with it. let's see ...

yeah, i'm not getting the drivers to install at all. so, the software installs, but then it tells me it doesn't have a device to uti...

let's get the chronology right. this device was manufactured in 1998. i received it as a gift in late 1999 - around christmas of that ye...

what i'm trying to avoid, i think, is the ntvdm. i've got these separated in my mind as "9x is 16-bit, nt is 32 bit" but t...

or was it windows 2000? lol. i don't remember... i'm going to have a try a few, though. it's why i'm doing this. if i can...

i neither have me nor nt 4.0 kicking around - i have 98, and i have xp.  i think  i was actually running me.

i got a nap in. it was inevitable. the bluescreen i'm getting in xp is a driver_irql_not_less_or_equal which is consistent with the idea...

i'm not tired, clearly. thankfully . finally.

i want to flip these dates over though because i have the electrical to worry about. fri night--->mon morn: working on the discography (s...

i just copied the files over, but i may have to actually burn a cd.

so, it crashed with a blue screen error. is that what it did before? i don't remember.  i want to reinstall to this drive to see if the ...

well... it installed. it loaded. it crashed.... gah. if this loads, i want it in the other machine. surely. i actually think this is a good ...

my script didn't launch. i think it was a permissions issue, but i don't know, really. the card in the machine when i built the last...

it's finally manageable in here. sort of. i need to run the shower every few hours to push the smoke back out through the doors, or i...

also, i'm not done cleaning in here, but i need to get to the spirit of the new time allotment, down. so, once i get that 16-bit pc up, ...

after a few false starts, i got through this last night, and i don't have much of a comment regarding it, except to point out that even ...

ok, so i'm caught up on the narrative and will stay caught up on it. going out several days in a row like that is pretty unusual for me....

last night was a wash - i slept all day, then spent all night eating. well, i tried to eat eggs & pasta together, and i got slowed down ...

i think maybe the silicon wasn't dry yet, this morning. i just ate a meal without having to endure the stench of drugs and smoke for the...

somebody smoked a large joint and i crashed hard this morning and missed my appointment again. but that's 12 hours of sleep, so let'...

i pointed out that my headaches seem to have resolved after boosting my b vitamins, specifically b5, which i think i was severely deficient ...

so, i was awake again on thursday afternoon and intended to get everything in order and have a long and productive day: === so, i've got...

i was up within a few hours and finished my fruit and took some pills, but it didn't really take and i found myself back at sleep until ...

so, before i sat down to make the fruit bowl, i turned the computer back on to check my email and found that the blood results had come in, ...

ever since i moved in here, i've been focusing on writing projects, and living mostly in my bed. when i decided to get up and out of bed...

it is now friday morning, and i've clearly been pre-occupied with my iron levels. but, how did i get here, and what else has happened? i...

so, i had to stop to do a first silicon run on the window in here because the stench was just vicious. the last few days have been sporadic,...

i want to be clear about what i said about testosterone and ferritin. my rbc counts are a little low - my ferritin counts are very low. so, ...

so, i've got some sleep and need to catchup, after i make some fruit.

conversely, if i do another test with iron levels right after i eat and it's still exceedingly low, then i'm going to need to react ...

yeah. the more i look into this, the less concerned i am about it.  this is a different reference range: The normal range for ferritin in yo...

see, when i look at a study like this... https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0235141 what are they doing, here...

this isn't exactly what i'm thinking, but it's in the right neighbourhood: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5066702/

but, my position is actually as follows, and i'm going to double down on it - i think i'm poorly evolved for the canadian climate. w...

does estrogen affect iron levels? it seems to be unclear, with studies arguing both positions. what i'm going to say is this: while it...

i guess i can't spare much blood, huh? what am i doing about this? well, i went to the store looking for heme iron and the only option w...

wait. i'm low in iron. i just got a blood test. now i'm tired. obviously?

i mean, look at the fruit bowl. yes, it has a lot of wheat bran. but, it has 100% of the iron (some of it fortified in the bran), 250% of th...

i could be just eating too much wheat, too: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2820048/ i need to do some typing, but i'm exhausted. i'...

i mean, i don't think it's going to work, but i need to try something until we can get a better idea of it.

i should get some heme supplements, for now.

i crashed this morning, but that wasn't unexpected.  so, should i eat meat? i don't have any good reason, at this point, to think it...

my counts are elevated - 1.0x10^9/L - but not high enough to bring up concerns like leukemia. and, this is the first notice of it.

i wonder if the high eosinophils response could be a reaction to cleaning down here. a few days ago, i was blowing dust out of my nose. i gu...

what i'm doing - bombarding myself with vitamins and trying as much as i can to avoid smoke - is about as much as can be done for ms. bu...

proving you have ms is hard. and, the unfortunate reality is that it doesn't help much, because there's no treatment options.

while jumping to conclusions on this is unjustified, i'm leaning back towards that old concern about ms, again.  i'm going to wait b...

i also have high eosonophils, for some reason. i don't actually  know what that means, but i'm going to need to find out.

so, i got some eggs this morning and crashed half way through eating them, took a nap, was up in the afternoon, spent a while cleaning mysel...

i'm probably going to need to finish the diet saga up to what exists  - or at least produce a rough first draft of it - in order to fini...

again, i didn't find myself learning much from the aztec episode, but it was enjoyable and engaging to watch. where did these people com...
