I took a little trip to Münster today. I wanted to visit a few stores especially I wanted to go to some place they sell Macs. And at Gravis I found one. Since the day Steve Jobs announced the new iMac and The Keyboard, I was curious. I checked them both out today. And I must say if I had the money to spare I would have ordered one today. That machine is sexy and fast. I'm comparing it to my black MacBook and my Dual G5 2Ghz. I think a big part in the "zippy-nes" is on part of the graphics card. I tried out the new iLife apps on the 20" iMac, and now I really think it runs slow on my G5.

The design is much more applealing to me in real life. Looking at the photos on Apple's site didn't really amaze me. You'll have to see it for yourself. The shiny screen wan't going to scare me any bit, since I've gotten use to my glossy goodness on my MacBook. I really like the way the gloss lets me enjoy my pictures and movies. And when crunching out code it isn't a burden. Albeit I must say that it goes a long way to have your screen in a right angle to a window. Competing with the glare outside or having the sun shine on your screen directly isn't even a good idea on matt displays.

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. :)

A day in New York City

2012/10/16 - New York City, New York, United States of America NY, NY, you just never know what might happen. I was traveling to my airbnb host's place. I just got off the subway at 2nd Ave on the F line. And headed down Allen St. towards Stranton St. And I saw the film crews. Fuck yeah—I thought to myself. These are the things that make me love New York so much. You just walk down the street suspecting nothing and then next minute there's something happening around the next corner. They were filming infront of TMS (The Meatball Shop). It was Celebrity-Meatballs time. I figured I'd hang around once I saw the all cameras around. Next thing you know there is there is thunder rolling down the street. Orange County Choppers thunder that is. They were driving up Allen St. and pulled into Stranton St. with three custom bikes. A lot of commotion and everybody was looking. Guess that's the point of all the noise they were making. I used to watch the show often a while ...
