Last night I went and saw the movie Hero. It wasn’t too bad of a movie. I only saw on preview for it and I could only remember that Jet Li was in in it. I didn’t know the movie had english subtitles and was completely in Chinese. Although I’m not the biggest fan of those types of movies, it wasn’t that bad of a movie.
I liked the part where all these arrows are being shot at this calligraphy school. That was awesome. I bet it wasn’t too exaggerated from what really happened. The opening fight scene in the movie was sweet.
One of my friends told me that Mardens Surplus & Salvage is suppost to get a shipment from a Best Buy in Florida that was damaged from Hurricane Charlie. I hope they have 19″ CRT monitors. I need a new one. My current ViewSonic E790 is about to die. It flickers a lot, has a fussy screen, and has a grinding sound when the screen has a lot of white on it. I’ve taken the cover off a few times and adjusted the brightness and focus, and also searched for blown or bad solder joints. I couldn’t find anything apparently wrong with it. I’ve had the monitor for probably three to four years now. I got it from a MeLUG member who was selling the monitor. I got it used from this member for $120, which was a huge deal at the time. He had the monitor he said about one year. The manufacturer’s date cooaberates his story. Made in December of 1999.
So I have priced out monitors. Best Buy or Circuit City seem to have the best prices around. Maybe SamsClub.
So my business has been very slow this last month. I am still searching for a part-time or full-time computer job in the area, but I haven’t seen too much.
