Ok, I'm leaving…
Ok, I’m leaving now. Bastard sales people!
The only thing…
The only thing that’s keeping me going right now is thinking of the package I’m getting sometime today and the beautiful glowing blue lights that it will produce.
Working All Night, Help Me
Guess what I’m doing right now. Sitting at work watching 8 computers batch files. Probably gonna be here for another 4 hours or so. Yeah, I know. It’s a lot of fun, especially at 12:15am. Take into consideration I’ve been here since 9am, you can imagine just how much fun I really am having. Keep me company tonight and IM me.
PC Upgrades Ordered
Ok, so I just placed my order to upgrade my PC and I think I went a tad bit overboard. Really, though, I’ll be happier in the end I think.
- AMD Athlon XP 2500+ boxed cpu ($107.12)li>Asus A7V8X KT400 motherboard ($93.45)li>ATI Radeon 9700 Pro OEM ($231)li>Thermaltake Volcano 9 CoolMod Cooler cpu fan ($23)li>Antec Silver Thermal Compound heatsink compound ($11)li>Antec Blue LED Fans (x5) 80mm case fans ($55)li>2 day shipping & handling ($23.25)
Yeah, that totals $543.82, but it’s oh so worth it. I’ll throw up some pics when I get it all in this week.
PC Upgrade Time
I think it’s time to do a major upgrade on my PC, especially with Star Wars Galaxies only a month away from being released. The plan: a new motherboard, processor, and video card. So here’s what I’m thinking so far:
- AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (or better)li>Asus A7V8X – 8X AGP, DDR400li>ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
Feedback?
Camino 0.7 Early Impressions
Camino 0.7 (formerly Chimera) was released yesterday morning and in the last couple of hours I’ve been using it, I think I can safely say it’s currently the best overall web browser for OSX. All of the problems with Safari (and the more I use it, the more I find) are non-existent in Camino. I’m mainly talking about speed, CSS rendering, and Shockwave performance. The only 2 things I can think of to make Camino any better are auto-fill forms and a built-in spell checker. Other than that, I am so in love. Download now!
Kordell Stewart? Hmm…
It looks as if Kordell Stewart is going to sign with da Bears sometime today from a late offer given to him last night. I’m very iffy about this, but I think it’s better than the alternative which is going after Jeff Blake in the short term and trying to pick up Brian Griese in June after Denver is expected to let him go. I read this quote in a forum from a Bears fan earlier in the week and I thought it was funny enough to put here.
“Kordell, if we promise not to boo, do you promise not to cry?”

Bought Last Week, Outdated This Week
Well no wonder I got my T68is so cheap last week. Say hello to its replacement, the T610 (or T616 here in the States). This was one of 6 new phones released by Sony Ericsson today. I’m still not sold on having a camera integrated with my phone though. Just pull that whole “feature” out and save me the cost please.
