Introduction To Me

My name is Jackson Butler I am 12 years old and I live in Florida. I love playing video games. My favorite video game right now is Overwatch. With my own money I bought a PS4. It took a long time, but after I bought it I realized that I made the purchase not because it was my idea, but rather my friend's. I soon recognized that feeling that I did something wrong. Sadly, I had to live with it because I threw the box away like an idiot so I could play my new PS4.

My best friend gets made fun of because everyone thinks he is gay. I have known him for a while now and know for a fact he is not. He gets called gay because he hangs out around a lot of girls and never makes a move. I have friends that are anti-gay. Once I found out, I decided to stop hanging out with them because I feel like any person should be with who ever they choose no matter the gender.

We recently got a 1979 26' Fortier with a 79 perkins diesle engine. We have been slowly working on making the boat nicer so that we can charter it. I have a great family, and my dad, @billbutler, posts on Steemit quite a bit.

Building My Computer

A few years ago My dad convinced me to invest $300 into bitcoin. I was so upset after I did it because bitcoin started to drop and I could not cash it out because of how much money I would have lost. When I invested that money I had no idea that it would help me in the future. After I bought my PS4 I had some extra money, so I decided to start stock piling my money earning it however I could in order to save up for my new linux based computer.

After a while I earned $550. I was $450 short of my $1000 goal. Then I remembered my bitcoin. I checked it, and sure enough that day it hit a spike and was worth $462.43 so I sold it. I was so excited that I didn't think enough about the parts I was getting for my computer and bought two wrong parts. I then sent them back and got the correct ones. Sadly while putting my cpu in the socket I bent three pins and broke one more. My mom then sent it back, and luckily since I ordered it from amazon they sent me a replacement.

When I was putting my computer together we were in the process of moving into our new house so my dad could not help me. My brother-in-law had already taught me how to put it together, so I new the basics. After I put the computer together I booted to the bios and saw the cpu temperature was over 100ºc so I quikly shut off my computer and waited for the cpu to cool.

The next day I took it apart just enought to get to the cpu. I removed all of the thermal past and re-applied this time with much less paste. When I booted it up the cpu tempeture was at 30ºc. From what I read, is the correct tempature.

The wifi chip is the promblem I am facing now. I just ordered this wifi chip. It is made for linux so I am hoping It will work. If anyone has a recomendation for a good wifi chip for linux please let me know.
