Travel ads gone viral

These ads, for Australian travel company STA Travel, have been getting a lot of viral play lately, and for good reason.  First, the ads:

Problem… solved?

pci problems

Started having numerous issues with pc lcd output with this setup: IE crashes, blue screens, reboots.  I use the tv as just that, it’s hooked up as a 3rd screen if needed but rarely used, and I rarely watch tv.  Been watching some sports lately, though, so it’s been on quite a bit.  Using an Abit IP 35 Pro motherboard, an NVidia GeForce GT 430, and an NVidia GeForce 8600 GT.  CPU is a quad core intel, with 8gb of ddr2 ram.

Anyway, after a bit of deduction and a bit of guessing, I disconnected the TV from the pc, and connected one lcd to each video card.  Problems seem to have immediately gone away.  At first I was thinking that having the 2 monitors on one video card was overloading it, but now I’m not so sure it wasn’t having the TV turned on that caused some video problems.

Glad to have the situation resolved, even though I’m not sure exactly what the problem was!

WordPress, 960, Cleanr, and a new blog

Kip’s personal blog, a place for ramblings, sharing, ranting, and more.  Running on WordPress (on Windows Server and IIS), using the Cleanr theme (modified, of course), which itself uses the 960 grid system.  Keeping it simple on this one.
