Well, today I had another confirmation that datacenters are indeed - cold and noisy. But all in, the job got done and that’s what matters right? Eventhough I am now partially numb from the cold
Plus I got some new stuff to research - which is always fun.
Anyways, I ordered a new videocard yesterday - the HIS Radeon X1650 (512 MB model, AGP model) Which should keep me running smoothly for some time. It’s going to replace a X800VE AIW (4 pipelines clocked at 425MHz which makes it perform near a 9600 or so…?) so it’s definately going to be an improvement.
Asides that I am doing OK, feeling spiffy and well - enjoying the stuff and such.
Eventhough today was garbage-collection day - and yes, again I was the one that parked the bins outside. I was amazed to find that 2 out of 3 were actually placed back when I got home. W-o-w. But I think that was done by our neighbour. So I just had to take one back inside… Which is a change. Asides that, one of the lightbulbs blew out again - this time in the only functional/clean toilet so I had to swap it out with one from the hall. I’ll be damned if I pay for a new one - AGAIN. I spent too much money as is already on this place. I think it’s time for my fellow housemates to pick up the slack/bill. But most probably assume that someone else/the landlord will fix it.
Ugh… I hope to get my new contract soon I can start looking around for a mortgage to finance my own place.
