Computer Stuff

After keep looking at forums and retailer websites for a month, I suddenly feel kind of sick of looking at computer stuff.  I probably is too depressed at the fact that there’s little chance for me get the new computer any time soon.Still plan to go to Best Buy tomorrow to pick up that $1 128mb RAM though…

Desk Conditions

I’ve grown rather unsatisfied at the conditions and facilities around my desk. I want a larger keyboard tray so that I don’t have to hang my wrist while using the mouse. I want a wall mounted CD shelf (maybe 2?) instead of the vertical one that current sits on my desk (it only contains my more frequently listened to CDs). I want a wall mounted white board to serve as a to-do list.

Perhaps I am using these as excuses to my inefficency in working? (In the style of Halu in Pride) Maybe.

Blog Discovered

So, one month after I created the blog, it is finally discovered by Ed. 🙂

Life has been uneventful of late. The holiday had been uneventful, and the start of the school term had been uneventful. I am having the feeling of getting stuck again. 🙁

I was thinking about getting a new computer during the holidays. I got as far as trying to order the system, only the scarcity of the video card that I wanted prevented me from typing this message with the new rig. Now that the holiday is passed and I don’t have time to fiddle with a new computer anymore, I will wait until the reading break or even after the final exams this term.

My desired specs:
Athlon 64 s939 3000+ or 3200+
A nforce4 Ultra motherboard (I don’t have money to buy two video cards to run SLI)
1 GB of RAM (I’ll get some cheap Samsung ones if I decide I won’t overclock at all, but the alledged overclocking ability of the CPU is tempting)
A Geforce 6600GT video card (Leadtek?)
Seagate 120GB SATA Hard drive (I am thinking if it’s going to be enough….)
Antec Super Lanboy Case (primarily because of its light weight)
OCZ Modstream 450W PSU

… I think that’s it, I can just reuse the two existing optical drives.

Xanaga Opening

Only got to know about xanga after seeing my Killarney friends’ sites. I do write blogs of some sort somewhere else. But different audiences I guess.

Just finished marking the labs. A lot of people asked me if the TA job is well paid. Well… I think amount of wages doesn’t really matter all that much, since you will always find ways to spend the money. @@”

I wonder how long would it take for someone I know to discover this blog?
