  1. Chrysler should build the biggest gas-guzzlingest SUV in history... then name it? The Dodge Hybrid.
  2. Things you never heard: "Wow, Google Wave revolutionized my workflow!"
  3. Damnit I was just at Fred Meyer and forgot to buy a new blade for my electric razor.
  4. I hope everybody enjoyed my twittering of my minor computer irritations!
  5. And... now it appears to be resolved. But was it uninstalling? Or rebooting? Oh well, it's running like a Core 2 Duo oughtta
  6. Time to admit failure and reboot, then try those uninstallers again.
  7. But of course, Netmon's uninstaller isn't working right. Ugh, what a pain. And it broke Cisco's uninstaller too.
  8. Ok so now I'm uninstalling stuff that hooks into the network stack-- specifically, Cisco VPN and NetMon
  9. That indicates to me the network driver or NIC is defective. I'm going to re-install the driver and see if that resolves the situation.
  10. Ok, Process Explorer lets you dive into thread CPU usage, and all mine is coming from NDIS.sys.
  11. And Process Explorer doesn't seem to do any better than Task Manager... yes I know "System" is using up 90% of my CPU, BUT WHY!?
  12. Downloading Process Explorer, hoping it can shine a light on this.
  13. So the question is, how do I dive into "System" to find out what's causing the 100% CPU usage?
  14. Actually, Task Manager shows CPU at 100% frequency and also 100% usage... the only task using CPU is "System" and it's using like 80%
  15. Man, if this were my own computer I'd be going crazy.
  16. The Task Manager doesn't show anything unusual... maybe it's the power management, erroneously cycling my CPU to low-power mode?
  17. Aaaaa why does this computer at work sometimes just run like crap for no reason? I swear it's a busted driver or something...
  18. OMG I have a free activation code for DreamWidth, a LiveJournal-alike! I'm so excited! Who wants it!? It's like LiveJournal but not!
  19. Good for Twitter, though-- i'm all for making money off of suckers.
  20. Bored on the bus. I will share my boredom using Twitter! (I can't believe you paid $15 mil to index this, Microsoft.)
