Well that’s Monday for you. I had a pretty standard day all-in-all where time flew by without me even realizing it. I also received my new videocard today (see below) and as I suspected; installation went with a breeze. Overall I went from a system-score of 4.0 to 4.3. How’s that for ironic? Mind you, I suspect the drivers for my X1650 are still a bit immature (as ATI - or should I say AMD? - has proclaimed to stabilize their drivers before optimizing them) But all in all, it’s working fine. In the package they included a DVI-I to VGA so I should be able to set up a dual monitor again. However, finances keep killing me

Today I also did another batch of the laundry. Ugh! I hate doing that, even though I love the smell of fresh and clean laundry. Bit of a paradox I guess.

At work I managed to get a few things sorted, and I hope to have resolved a long-standing - and VERY annoying issue with one of the servers. Though, in my defense, it is a low priority test-server it still had to be done. After having read the weekly reports on the firewalls - someone has to I managed to get a few minutes in tweaking the new servers at one of our customers. They are running up-to spec and I have complete faith in the oncoming switch-over from the old servers to these new ones.

Today I tried to access the HP learning again, only to realize my personal note in Outlook (where I store the student ID) had been erased. Thank goodness the note was still saved on Webmail I rearranged a few things on my HP Learning plan and should start on it tomorrow. I opted for a more technology driven learning instead of a HP one. Even though I really would love to attain the HP certification (APS for example) I think I should get the basics first I have a few left I want to do (about 8 courses, with 2 hours set per) so that should keep me busy for a while.

On the website-news I just repaired/optimised the database of this place, so I hope to see a little speed increase. I may jump over to PHP5; provided it should yield a noticable speed-increase. I will however have to figure out how that will affect some of the ‘hosted’ stuff I have on here. But then again, as I recall they claimed to have jumped over now to their own site I’ll get in touch with them shortly.

All-in-all I am feeling ‘ok’ but tired. But then again, considering the amount of stuff I got done today that may just be a normal thing Well, I am off - take care!
