Current Music: Kamelot - III ways to Epica
Current Mood: inspired
Current Time: 10:26pm
Well, I've been keeping busy lately, so I really haven't been around much. Most people complain that they're bored when they have this much spare time, well not me, I take every last ounce of it and use it for what it's worth. Whether it's me slacking off, doing things with my computer, reading, watching things. It doesn't really matter, I always have something to do :)
I've got a bunch of books to read yet. Shame on me for not finishing any of them ... except that one C++ book I was reading a while back. I should get around to finishing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas before I do anything else eh?
On other notes, I've got my front panel headphone, microphone, and USB2 ports working again(because this time around I bothered plugging them in... damn I'm lazy). Most of my spare time has been dumped into four things. I did some computer upgrades (see below), computer tweaking, a couple of forums, and slacking off. As per the computer tweaking, I'm sure most of you wouldn't be interested, but I've spent a lot of time messing around in Linux. It's possible to get some really nice effects. See here for more details < xgl wiki, looking glass wiki > Among other things, I've also put in a 1GB memory stick in my camera... enough for tons of stuff, maybe I'll use it more now? Maybe. Oh, and I got an air conditioner in my room now, and a replacement door. (It needs trimmed/sanded/painted/door-knobbified/put-up still though.)
I've gone and done it again. Yes, more computer upgrades. Sugary goodness at that. I did the following:
- Put in a second 250GB Seagate SATA HDD
- Changed out my NVidia 6600GT VGA for a NVidia 7600GT
- Took off my motherboards chipset fan and put on a good heatsink in its place.
- I also took off the CPU fan and put it on pointing the right direction (shame on me for putting it on backwards to begin with!)
Overall, the results of that are that I now have 500GB HDD space, and that my CPU and motherboard run about 4C cooler than before, the VGA runs about 10C cooler, and I get really nice framerates thanks to a really nice VGA.
Such a disorganized post, shame on me. Oh well, I'll post later, I promise. |
