Bad News. I'm not patient.

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.

It is time for a new post.

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. :)

How I want to start a Day my Way.

Well to keep this short. I started my day with getting up early. And for me that's 5:45 am. I got into some clothes and made some space in the living room for some exercise. I usually practice HapKiDo as I did today. First some basic techniques and them some sword swings and combos. After about 25 min and getting sweaty I hit the shower, got dressed, turned on some of my favorite music, and made breakfast. Not much just a small portion of Muesli to get my metabolism started up. So how does it feel? Well I know what most of you are thinking right now. "Oh, gosh, I could never get up that early, not mentioning doing exercise!" Well I was like that a few weeks ago as well. It takes some uptake on self discipline, which is doable. There are a few things that helped me do this. A few blogs I read about productivity and life-hacking(why no links? Google your own I don't want to influence you on that). And Joe's Goals . I lets you track little achievements and mishaps i...
