Downloading Ubuntu now. For some reason they teaching my girl how to write documents using the terminal or some shit, so now I gotta download to teach myself so I can teach her in turn.

Ah well, I love the idea of using it again.

Lol. Welcome to Linux bitch. I am doing that over SSH.

Should have known this would happen..

I'm listening to some music through my speakers cause no one else is home and I cbf setting up my headphone gear. ***

Dear logitech z-4's. You are making my ears cry.


I can see myself getting some nice near-field monitors rather soon..

***When my exams are over, I'll get to work on seeing what I can do with those Mordaunt-Short MS40 speakers. But until then...



EDIT: I'm a fucking numpty

Back when I first got the DAC, I connected it to the Z-4's via an RCA out on the DAC to 3.5mm in on the speakers. I was using the previously unused audio in, which is on the subwoofer.. so I couldn't see it. Apparently I had left the RCA cable connected.. which was coiled up next to my macbook's power transformer.

I took it out, and ta-da! Drastic reduction in the amount of shit I was hearing especially with the transient sounds (ie. percussion/cymbals). That being said, it still sucks.

Not really. Tbh no point in going for 2x1GB, best is always to go for 2x2GB.

I learned that lesson the hard way -.-

Is €38 for 2x1 GB 667mhz DDR2 PC2-5300 ram (too) cheap? I'm not sure if I should go on with this offer..

No, that's a ripoff. I got my 800MHz 2x1GB for 42€ 1.5 years ago.

The thing is that DDR2 prices are going to the skies as DDR3 is getting a grip.

Dunno. All but the middle one work, and I think it was forked before.

I bet I'm the only guy on this board with a rusty CD-ROM drive in his server.

Now where the FUCK those have been stored in?

Under the stairs in the basement. The little cleaning hatch for the chimney has been leaking.

I just did a bit of cable tidying. Removed everything except Mobo, RAM, Heatsync and CPU. Then I removed the broken GPU fan and zip-tied a case fan in its place. I then reinstalled everything and ziptied cables together and kept them out of the way. Shame IDE cables are so damn cumbersum and space consuming.

I'm not using any IDE cables for 2 years now
