Wow, I didn't post in here a long time I guess. So I guess whoever if anybody reading this could use an update. Well my new job is fun. I program web applications all day long. It's actually better than college because I finally get to go hands on with programing. The theory is over! I like coding and college wasn't enough of it for me. Anyhow I'm pretty exited about Apple's iLife '06 suite. The apps are pretty cool, especially the new iMovie. It really kicks ass. I'm really thinking about buying it, also because of the new GarageBand and its podcasting functionality. If you want to check the whole details out yourself go head on over to Apple's website.

Well, last week of April I got my motherboard back. Well, not exactly, I got my money back and sent out for a new one. Then I visited the NorthCon Summer Event. It was pretty cool. Anyhow, I'm out of college, under graduate. :( But, whatever! I promised some good news to. I've got a new job. I start August 1, 2005. I've done an inturnship there already, it was cool.

Well believe it or not. My new PC is broken. I'm so sad. In the first week of February it broke on me. Being more specific, my motherboard was the cause. I sent it in for a repair or exchange. It hasn't returned yet. It is Taking very long. Over a month now. I sent it in on February 7, 2005. Luckily I still have a PowerMac to my side. The trusty Mac OS X and Apple hardware haven't let me down since I've become to know them in 2001.

My new PC is great. There are still two things missing I didn't plan on buying at first. Memory and a new hard drive. But My motherboard, CPU, and graphics card rock. I finally can now enjoy my games again. And have more fun on LAN parties. Speaking of witch the upcoming NorthCon will be a blast. From Dec 17 to Dec 19. Three thousand people are expected to be taking part in this event. I wonder just how big it will be. The NorthCon party is why I need a new hard drive :)

What's happened? Well, I still don't have my new PC. But, I have ordered the new components, though. It will be a P4 530, with a GigaByte 8I915P-Duo Pro-A motherboard. I haven't made my final decision about what graphic card it will be. I'm tending to a GeForce6600 GT. Probably the GV-NX66T128D, also form GigaByte. What have I been doing the past month? Well I used a great part of my time studying hardware guides and forums, to make a well informed decision about my new PC. The other part of my time, well, college lectures started again. So I've been investing time in that as well. The bit of spare time left I used for online playing. Hmm?? Online playing, I thought your PC was broke! You might say. Well that's where my girlfriend comes in. She let me borrow her PC very often. That way it won't be like starting online play all over again. :)

Well I guess I always wanted my own blog. I never seemed to find the time for it. Finally I have time. It's my birthday today. I'm very old now. :D Yes, at an age where I don't tell my age anymore. Well not really. I just don't want to admit becoming a year older again. I hope this new year starts of better than the last one ended. The last 3 weeks before my birthday a lot of my stuff started breaking. First my PC. It overheated because the fan stopped on me. Then I found out my RAM also broke. Yesterday, the chair in my office wanted to throw me on the floor as it broke down. Well, wish me luck.
