Throttled & Good News

Author: Chris Morris  //  Category: hdx, internet/computers

Yeah, throttled, who cares, heard enough about it.

Good news, I am starting the tutorials within the next couple days (not today as I only got 2 hours sleep - installing the adobe suite) and they will hopefully be uploaded on the 14th.

Telstra have also told me that they are fixing the disconnection problem (yay, not an Indian this time) and it should be done within the next 48 hours with possibilities of no internet for long periods of time - doesn’t matter, its slow as fuck anyway.

So that’s the good news, I also have something else I want to mention - HDX video will probably be up on the 14th too.

Thanks for the HDX :D

No.

It’s not.

Especially not when you have been trying for days and had numerous video takes to create a thank you video and then the computer stuffs up each time.

Well folks, I have decided that I am going to create the thank you video on the new computer which might come in as early as TOMORROW! *checks tracking*

It’s AWESOME! I can’t wait!*checks tracking again*

Sorry about the delay in YouTube video production, there will be plenty to come over the next few weeks! *checks tracking again again*

Any tutorial requests are welcome, but at the moment I have actually been flooded with requests, so I’ll try to do them in the order that I received them, but hey, the earlier you ask, the sooner the tutorial! *checks tracking again again again*

I NEED YOUR HELP!

As you all know, my current computer SUCKS MONKEY BALLS… no, I’m serious, it really does O.O :P

Anyway, I have entered at notebooks.com to win an HP HDX “Dragon” Portable Desktop (it’s to big to be a laptop :P) I REALLY need a new computer and this machine is IDEAL!

ALL I need you to do is this, it’s very simple and takes 2 minutes - seriously, this will help me a heck of a lot, now don’t spam or sign up with multiple accounts and do this because your vote won’t be counted.

I have explained why I need this computer on this page: http://forums.notebooks.com/contests-free-stuff/2-notebooks-com-s-5-100-hp-hdx-dragon-notebook-contest-starts-now-8.html#post275

ALL I NEED YOU TO DO IS SIMPLY THIS:

Sign up for an account on the forums at NoteBooks.com, login and just reply to this link saying “I think ChrisTheFeral should win because…” and give a reason why, I need as many votes as possible but REMEMBER, ONE VOTE PER PERSON - I don’t want spam!

Thanks so much to those who help out, I will be making a thank you video and shout out to all the people who vote for me whether I win or not (I damn sure need it)

I have to go now - busy :p plus I have been throttled again :(
