Dead monitors
Both of my LG Flatron L1933TR-SF stopped working. Power button just did nothing.
After searching found it was likely bad caps.
Opening these monitors was a serious pita but it turns out the both have the same bad 3 caps.
Dead Monitor?
I rebooted to scan my HD for errors and when it finished, I noticed my right monitor (http://www.lg.com/us/support-product/lg-L1933TR-SF#) was not on. I hit the power button and nothing happened. I tried plugging it into a different plug, nothing.
I need to try a known working power cord and see if that helps.
Tried a known working power cord. Nothing. Caps?
Sounds like the cap, according to: http://www.fixya.com/support/t2396522-l1933tr_sf_lg_monitor_dead_power_blue
3TB Drives
Why is the Seagate Constellation ES 3TB drive $320 while the rest are half that amount?

Kokomo
I told Luciana we need to go to all of the places in The Beach Boys Song: Kokomo
Aruba – Been there.
Jamaica
Bermuda
Bahama
Key Largo – Been there.
Montego
Florida Keys – Been there.
Martinique
Montserrat
Port Au Prince – Think we’ll have to wait for this to be cleaned up.
Looks like we have a lot of work/traveling to do.
Broken dishwasher
I did not plan on having a broken dishwasher this weekend.
Turn it on and it leaks water.
Front panel blinks 6 green, pause, 1 green, pause, repeat.

Says the blinking lights could be:
Kenmore site leads to
Suggests reset. More water came out. So I pulled it out and found the pump motor was no longer connected so the wart would go in and go right out. The blinking lights were related to the full check not sensing water staying in. Smart design.
Now to hook it back on.
Slightly better picture:
Oh great, the clamp is a Oetiker clamp. They are designed to only close once. This page makes it sound like the part is not for sale at Sears:

alt tab – Getting back the old alt-tab windows switching behavior in Windows 7?
Alt+tab in windows 7 has changed. Some for the better, some for the worse.
The part I don’t like is the order. I alt tab expecting the order to be most recently used and going back from that in order. But for some reason, that isn’t the case.
The aero peak isn’t a problem.
I followed the instructions here:
alt tab – Getting back the old alt-tab windows switching behavior in Windows 7? – Super User.
And it did a few things:
Now the alt+tab window itself looks old school (not what I wanted), disabled aero peak (not what I wanted) and fixed the order (what I wanted). Any way to just fix the order and leave the other features intack?
More RAM
RAM is pretty darn cheap. We both have 6GB (triple data rate).
I think we can move 6GB from one machine to the other and buy 12GB for one of us so we each end up with 12GB total.

12GB is ~60-70$

Wonder if mixing DC3-1600 and DDR3-1333 is ok.
