And this will be different how…
So I’ve gone and done it, I’ve blown the last of my bank account balance on a new pc. Why? Because I figure there are some seriously good games coming out this year and its time to get back with things. Last time I did anything major with my pc was over 3 years ago. So I think I’ll hop onto the DirectX10 and Vista bandwagon now.
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
Asus P5N-E SLI
Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2 2048MB
XFX GeForce 8800GTS
And some various other parts not worth listing.
For anyone keeping up with my twitter page, you’ll know yesterday was my birthday. So I can legally drink, smoke, vote, get married and various other things which comes with being an adult under Irish Law.
From my parents and brother I got a Budda Bag which is one of the most comfortable things to sit in ever. However I was up on my feet for most of yesterday so I haven’t got to breaking it in yet. From everyone else who showed up at the little shindig for friends and family yesterday (Mainly family since most of my friends are stuyding for that stupid exam on Wednesday) the gift of the day was cash.
Well that is pretty much that all comes to mind so I’m off to study now. I’ve made an updated list of what I’d like to do over the summer of which one is called HABP for the time being. Assuming it all goes to plan, it could be one of the best things I will ever do in my life.
For anyone in the hosting business you should be watching out for what SoftLayer do in the market. My experiences with them have been nothing but fantastic. And I just got a very interesting email from Mary which again proves they have to be one of the most top notch places out there. I can’t say what it is yet but its just such a simple and cool idea.
I don’t know about you guys but since Leaving Cert is looming (15 weeks until I never have to get up at 8am for school again!) I’ve been thinking of the things I’d like to get done by this time next year.
(1) Get full drivers license (Doing driving lessons now)
(2) Be well on the way to getting my PPL (Private Pilots License)
(3) Get my CCNA (Its not something you can read a few pages every night)
(4) Get into somewhere decent for College
(5) Start my own business (Idea is there but I doubt customers are)
(6) Project Tower. If you have to ask then don’t.
(7) Project Tower Mk II. See six
(8) Be more of an active blogger (Also includes the finishing of the draft posts sitting here)
(9) Work for either Microsoft or Google (or both!)
(10) Learn a programming language
I went to the Microsoft tech launch for Windows Vista in Novemeber where we all are suppoused to be getting a free copy of Home Premium (Soon enough too). However I’ve just seen the swag at the US launch party of Vista…. the difference in swag is quite a bit alright.
Well today out of the possible nine classes in a day. I had three. I got fed up and went home after lunch because I certainly wasn’t going to sit around for another 2 hours doing nothing when I could be at home studying etc.
Ooh er, i’ve been in a blogging mood over the last two or three days.
Today I went to see Casino Royal today at Cineworld but of course the universal law of dickheads took effect, and I was stuck beside them. They had their own little running commentry throughout the entire film which pissed me off to no end. And then to top it off, some arrogant prick decided to bring their baby to the film. Which decided to start crying in the middle of the film. But seriously what kind of fucker brings a baby to a movie? I’m going to either have to go to launch night when there are people there who want to watch the movie or start my own private cinema so I can watch films in peace.
Other then that I approve of Daniel Craig as James Bond. I was shocked when I first heard the news but after seeing the movie, I was impressed. Very damn impressed and there was a good few one liners in the movie to make me laugh.
After the cinema, I headed out with Tom to various shops to pick up a copy of Gears of War. I got one for 57.99 in Gamestop which isn’t too bad a deal at all. I’ve only played it briefly but it seems ok. From all the reviews I was expecting a little more. I don’t know, maybe an hour or two of it will turn me to like it. Then Tom decided to get a haircut in that place in Arnotts, in retrospect I should of also got one but oh well. Then we waited for at least 25-30 minutes for a bus to show up. I don’t know why but the specific bus I take to get is the most unreliable in the Dublin Bus service. We counted 4 going to Dun Laoigre in the time it took for one of ours to show up.
So I guess its time for an update.
Went to the Muse Concert in the Point a week or two ago. Brilliant.
Today did 6 hours of school and 3 subjects. You do the math. My brain killed itself during Irish (TWO FUCKING HOURS OF IT)
And that pretty sums up my life that I’m willing to blog about since my last update. I sure do lead an exciting life!
I’m well chuffed about this though:
conor@atlantis [~]# uptime
17:05:58 up 43 days, 14:52, 1 user, load average: 0.57, 0.35, 0.29
Usually when I get to the 30 day mark, some fucker ruins my day and crashes the box.
