Blog titles are usually overrated.

Hey again…

I promised Hannah that I’d write something new here about 4 days ago, but until now haven’t gotten around to it.

I’ve been getting ready to do HSC Trials, starting on the 10th July, so I’ve been kind of busy. Unfortunately doing OTEN isn’t really the best way to stay motivated, and I don’t feel ready yet. I still have enough time to study though. Anyway, enough about boring stuff….

Other than schoolwork I haven’t really gotten up to much. Hmm…. hey if anyone has 5 minutes, check out a funny video on Youtube:Pachelbel Rant. It’s hilarious…. but the sad thing is that I can now play it on guitar and quote the entire song :D

Another little interesting bit of info is that I’m going to purchase several computer components and build a new PC… which will be awesome, since my current computer is a little worse for wear :P . The specs of the new PC currently are as follows:

  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420, clocked at 2.13 Ghz and with 4 Mb lvl 2 cache, 1033 Mhz bus speed
  • RAM: Probably 1 Gb of cheap and nasty DDR2 566 Mhz, until I can afford some better stuff.
  • Hard Drives: I’ll most likely use one of my existing 40 Gb drives, and get a new 80 Gb one until I can afford more
  • GPU: A GeForce 7300 PCI-e, until I can afford a better one (I’m starting to sound monotonous :P )
  • Optical Drive(s): I’ll use my existing 16x DVD burner

I should be getting the mobo in about a week, and hopefully the processor and RAM within the next month. Then I’ll finally be able to use Windows Move Maker and play Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines!

Ahh well, I’d better get back to physics…. catcha all around.
Oh, and sure, anyone who wants to add me to their blogroll feel free :)

    The specs for your new pc (aka box) sounds very nice and cool and all the others that mean the above.
    I have P4, which probally was one of the last series of P4 processors!!
    Yeah, things like computer components, even though they are cheaper these days are still not that cheap for someone like me - it takes time to save like $160 for a graphics card i want…

    Anyhoo,

    Keep ‘em posts comin’
