Ok i havent updated in a while. Not like there was that much to talk about. I've been at school. The only really bad thing about school is that you are doing work and everyone else isnt. If everyone else was at school i'd be ok with this. Anyways i was lame and went to like 2 classes this week after midterms. I emailed my phyiscs prof about my 2 midterms, lying and saying i couldn't pick up my midterm because i was sick. Surprise, surprise, i got an A on one and a B on the other. I've got an A in physics lab, and an B+/A- in math. Damn this could be my best quarter yet. I got this deal with my dad's business contact. I sell geforce ddr cards for them. I get to keep half the money i get for selling them. I've sold 17 or 18 so far with the average price being around $175. So you guessed it i'm pretty loaded right now. Takes a lot of energy out of me though, i have to keep emailing people and keeping accurate logs and crap. But i guess is a lot better than working at KFC or something. And lastly in computer news my computer is all done. I've now got an athlon running at 1000 mhz, 44 gigs of storage, 256mb of ram, and a 64mb ddr geforce. All in a super small case about a foot and a half tall. I'm gonna use all this power for nothing but web browsing, occasional diablo and maybe a little halflife. I also ended up with enough spare parts to build a spare athlon 700 with 256mb of ram as well. Yeah pretty sick. Its so cool. Also i got a palm 3e now. These things are quite useful. I'm almost organized. The best thing has got to be the to do list. Which reminds me, a ton of physics homework is on that list. Lastly being the idiot that i am i left my rio 500 in the reiber lunch lockers by accident. Needless to say it is gone forever. Damn. I think i'll update my about me page now... |

Chris i think maybe you could have built an equivalent system for $1550 + shipping and tax. Plus you wouldn't have licensed software and you would have had to build it (the last sentence probably doesnt matter too much to some people). Anyways, i saw scary movie, it was funny, but kinda sick too. Two things that suck happened. My p3s came, but only one of them because the guy is an idiot and fucked up. Has 61 heatware referals, so he better be good. Then the other guy sent me his camera and rage128 but the camera is broken (he used the AC adapter from another camera, i bet it shorted), but at least i didnt send out the nomad yet so i'm fine. Diablo 2 is still down. I got my entire linksys homepna, routered network setup thanks to jasons help reading the manual. It cost like $260 worth of equiptment to network the house with just home phoneline and the router and ethernet bridge. I guess it cost only a little less than a cheap ass computer running linux or something with a phoneline card and network card and like 32mb. If i had to do this with a win2k based system it'd have had to have 128mb of ram and thats $140 by itself now so it'd cost too much. |

Well this obviously isn't a good thing. I've got two midterms on friday. Yet i just finished playing 5 hours of diablo 2. I am now a level 16 amazon after having this game for a little over 24 hours. BTW brian i have Cathan's mesh, maybe we can get the whole set and sell it for a crap load. Somehow when i was level 5 i got a death guard's sash (like 22 armor on that and some guy traded me) So there i was a level 10 amazon at the beginning of the day able to wear chain mesh since it was -60% requirements so i had like 89 armor. I am just starting the cathedral so i should be done with act 1 on monday especially if i play at home. My laptop has to swap to the hard drive a lot which kinda sucks since everytime i move into a new area it goes crazy slow and then crazy fast all of a sudden. Anyways, all you level 30+ addicted wackos out there, well hook me up with some stuff. Dammit all to hell, its time to do math now. |

Check out this mobile computer. Well i have a midterm tommorrow. I got my first homework assignment back from that class. Got 28/40! Thats like a B or something. Kick ass. Anyways i turned another one in today and probably will get around the same or slightly less. I stayed up till 4 trying to do that and reading. Connie knows. I listened to backstreet boys on repeat for like half an hour after i lost my mind. The loer computer will not be a gigahertz after all. It ended up being a 900mhz. But he does get a zip drive and the computer came with 512mb of ram, which i will take away 256mb of since he doesnt want that much. Hopefully it will come soon. Also i got another two p3-600s katmai for $175 a piece. Woohoo. That like $250 in easy money again. So now at my house i will have 768mb of EXTRA ram, several processors and tons of other neat stuff. Woohoo. This will be quite a profitable summer. Also i got my phoneline network cards at home. They are pretty cool, they even have 10base T ethernet ports on them so you can use them on a regular lan. Ideally it would have a 100base T. I might take my 3com out and replace it, either that or have two installed. And lastly i managed to trade my $50 nomad 2 mp3 player, for a olympus 320L digital camera with 32mb of smartmedia cards, and a rage 128 16mb. |

Well i found out i've got 3 midterms next week. sorry i haven't updated in forever. I usually update on my normal system, but its broken and a lot of the time i'm too lazy to go onto the geocities file editor. Anyways, i ordered a Palm IIIe. If you want one too go to www.redgorilla.com and its $99.95 for one there with free shipping and no tax. Well technically you get it for free for signing up for their time management thing. Oh well like i care. A anandtech forum guy told me that when i tried to trade my nomad to him for a palm. He was the guy that gave me an athlon and board for a p3-550e that jason has now. Anyways, i know i dont have a palm 3x like all you cool guys out there, but they say it ships in 2 days, so i'll have a palm 3e and non-flashable rom but oh well. I'll be back in torrance this weekend. My motherboard finally came so the hans' computer will be alive once again. See you then i guess. Damn physics i missed the patriot. It wasn't that good but i heard that it probably would have been funny for me. Damn. BTW matt, jason, I will take you out to a meat fest my treat. Anyone else that wants to come pay for yourself. |
