Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
Trains DEAD
7:55 - So I’m sat here for another half an hour, waiting for an uncancelled train. Bastards! First train cancelled and second train delayed, so it’ll be quicker for me to get the fast train that gets me in late than piss about changing
Got up this morning, opened the door and felt a chill wind. Yay! It’s misty with a hazy sun at the moment...should be hot again, but far less humid than it has been, which can only be a good thing. Especially, considering Pixel (The PC Who Walks Through Walls) was running at over 60°C yesterday - which is a tad hot for a burning hunk of shiny black sex machine PC.
Jmaes came over to admire my wound, happy to say that having an injured shoulder didn’t seem to upset...uhm.../other/ areas
So, woke up on time, feeling like death, to discover Roberto has nicked half my soya milk, the bastard!
I was feeling like death as I slept quite badly, mostly because of the heat, partly because of the air conditioner. I filled it with water on Saturday evening, however I was quite surprised when it woke me with a “low water” notification at 5am...it had run out...the thing takes 17 litres at a time!
James’s PCs were all melting too...so he was idly window shopping PC sites - he found these incredible refridgerated PC cases which look very fun. Only trouble is, they’re over £300 each...still, am tempted to get one for the server...I could apparently overclock it impressively
Why don’t PC chip manufacturers stop and think from time to time? Surely if we’ve broken the 3Ghz mark it should be possible to make a silent, no fan required chip, at a lower speed, benefitting from the new technology? Market it as the chip for a living room PC and you’d have a silent machine that could play DivX/MP3/anything like that...you’d be on to a winner, surely?
