So, the A's are on the verge of getting MLB approval to move to San Jose and finally get their new stadium built. But then this:

Giant's might attempt to block A's move to San Jose
Giants fight A's move to San Jose

What the fuck is your problem, Giants? You get to have a nice brand new stadium but we can’t? It’s not like we’re building a new stadium in San Francisco. We’d be even further from you than we are now.

Back in 93, the A’s had territorial rights to San Jose, but we gave them up to you guys when you were looking to build a new stadium....in San Jose. No big deal, we understood your situation with Candlestick Park (crappy ballpark). But you ended up building a new park in San Francisco. Now the tables are flipped, and you’re screaming bloody murder, threatening with legal action, claiming San Jose is the “heart of our fan base”?!?! BULL FUCKING SHIT. Last time I checked, you were the SAN FRANCISCO Giants, who’s ballpark is in SAN FRANCISCO. Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

I know I’m a rare fan of both the A’s and Giants (A’s will always come first, and no I didn’t jump on the world series bandwagon last year, I’ve always liked them...2nd), but if MLB approves the A’s move to San Jose and the Giants somehow (cock)block it from happening, I’m fucking done with the Giants.

On a somewhat related note, I picked up an A's and Giants jersey recently, cause they were on sale. I didn’t have a Giants jersey yet, and it was on sale, so why not? But now, I kinda of regret it. And when I tried it on, it fit and looked nice & everything, but it just didn’t feel right....like I was cheating on my A’s. I also have a Mariners jersey, cause I like their logo, colors, & Ichiro, but not the actual team itself, and I didn’t have those same weird feelings while wearing it, even though they’re our division rivals.

I’ve always been really lucky with computers. Specifically, with Windows, and it not crashing or getting any viruses/malware. The pc I built maybe 8 years ago is still going strong. And up until recently, my 4+ year old Sony laptop has still fine, but it was getting a bit slow. So I decided to swap out the stock 100GB 4200rpm hard drive for a 64GB solid state drive (SSD). The swap was way easier than I had expected, as it worked the first try. And for the most part, it works and sped things up a lot. But there was a catch that I found out later.

I’m not too familiar with SSDs, but I guess you can’t put that much stress on them, especially if they’re low on memory. Being the only drive on my laptop, with the OS and other programs installed, I only have about 15GBs free. When I download tv shows, I get the HD versions, ranging from 1-2 GBs, and I usually download 3-4 at at time. Apparently, this puts too much stress on the SSD, causing it to hiccup and freeze every 5 seconds or so. So now, I’m limited to only downloading 1 big file at a time, maybe 2 if I’m lucky. I guess that’s the price I pay for a faster boot time & file access.

And then there’s the PC I built just last year in August. Up until this week, it had been running smooth. The internet was kinda of slow, but I attributed that to the slow ass AT&T DSL connection at my apartment. But this week, it was way slower than usually. So I ran a connection speed test, and I was only getting a 0.34MBs connection, but only my laptop I was getting around 3.5MBs. So I initially thought I had fried my wifi card. My PC is a hackintosh, so to be sure it was a hardware issue, I booted up Mac OS and ran the same connection speed test. Surprisingly, I got a ~3.5MBs connection, the same as my laptop. So that leads me to believe that it’s a Windows software/driver issue, not a hardware issue.

For some reason, System Restore wasn’t setup, so I can’t do that. I tried downloading the latest Windows Updates, but that didn’t work. If this was a normal PC, I’d just re-install Windows and be done with it. But since it’s a hackintosh, the re-installation process is way more complicated. I don’t know if I want to go through that again, because setting up the dual boot is sort of a pain in the ass.

So I’m going to try to re-install the wifi card drivers. If that doesn’t work, I might try uninstalling stuff til it works again. Or I might just switch to Mac OS. I dunno, we’ll see. This is kind of new territory for me.

update:
So re-installing the drivers didn't work, but I still didn't want to do a re-install. Instead, I bought a new, simultaneous dual-band router, the Asus RT-N56U. It was kinda pricey, but it totally worked. My old router was a refurb, and I guess it just didn't like my one PC, since everything else could connect to it. Oh, well. I rather just spend the extra money rather than spend the time & headache of re-installing everything.
