Technically me.....

Hey, If you are like me, and are working behind a proxy server in Windows 8, then you need this to get around the inability of metro style apps such as "Windows Store" to connect to the net via your proxy server. Run this as the Administrator in the command prompt, netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie And restart any metro style apps that need the net. Hope this worked for you like it did for me :)

Here is some valuable wisdom that I found online. I will include the links and the text therein (just in case the links go dead). 1. http://tinybuddha.com/blog/5-ways-to-validate-be-part-of-your-support-system/ 5 Ways to Validate Yourself: Be Part of Your Support System By Lori Deschene “You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” ~Louise L. Hay We all have techniques we depend on to lift our spirits when we’re feeling down about ourselves or our lives.

I have taken this information from http://diypcrepair.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/how-to-fix-system-board-ooa-missing-system-information-hp/ I tried this on an HP DV6 1152tx notebook and it worked. How to Fix “System Board OOA” or “Missing System Information” or “Product Information Not Valid” HP This happens when a motherboard loses the information that’s “tattooed” onto it, or burned onto it. HP says the only way to fix this issue is to pay a technician to repair the issue. I have found a way to do it yourself, although it does require a little finesse and following directions.

At the beginning of this semester (Semester 2 of M.Tech Computer Science at IIT Kharagpur), I felt like something was going to change this time around, and I was going to do better than I ever did. Now is that moment when things are going to change. And they will become better. Now what the definition of "better is", I don't know. But I do know this. Whatever change happens, will make me happy throughout the rest of my time here. The load during this semester became overwhelmingly large. And as it grew, my spirit grew smaller. This spirit which I'm writing about, is that one, that helped me become who I am today. The spirit that loves to work in , and learn more about, this field of Computer science. My last semester ended in a bang. I scored an "Excellent" grade in "EVERY" subject under the sun, and gained myself the nick-name "10 Pointer". I wanted to name this article 10 point someone, but I won't because that isn't w...
