Good Late Evening/Early Morning Interwebbers,

Computers of late is the subject of this bloggy thingy this time.

First let me set you the scene…I have one main computer which is head central all main high and mighty everything comes and goes off…it’s been slowly dying for the past 15 months or so…I FINALLY finished building its replacement…well I secondly did, my lady friend built it first…it kind of didn’t work so I had to rebuild it…but then what happens?…the motherboard in it starts playing up too much for my liking…so to eBay it went haha…

That’s the piece of month old pecan pie there…have already ordered its replacement…that there which was in it was the EVGA 680i, I bought for its replacement the EVGA 780i FTW edition…sooo pro gamery 1337 Über nerdy and all version one :D woo! hahah.

I cannot wait till it is finally all together…again…I have a XFX 9800GTX+ to throw in it to play me some tetris and such…hardcoring the tetris full max’ed up graphic settings and all…if I’m lucky.
Speaking of video cards and the such recently I have come into two new additions, so I now posses the following:
6600…it’s not a Gish :(
8300GS
8500GT
9800GT
9800GTX+
All PCI-E…I feel fancy and nerdy quite some hahaha…… =/
In the next 24 hours I will have a 9600GT OC something or other in my possession as well, but only for about 24 hours after I get it, it’s for a sellingable computer…which is sold…I just need that and then put it in and then *poof* all sold, woo! monies I getsses. In the same time frame I should be getting an older motherboard and CPU to fix this older computer I have to fix and then from that I gets monies as well mmmm.

I nearly bought myself a little Christmas present of a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device the other day, a nice little 320gb version Buffalo something or other, I thought it would have been fairly good for things that are usually on my main computer which gets shared for all computers such as utilities folder and a games patches folder and such, being on something separate from my main computer would make things a little easier I would think, along with perhaps music and such as well. Only problem was the price of it, it was on eBay of course and went just a little too high for me, while checking up on it’s specs and performance and such from review sites I though it would be cool to review things, have things sent to me for free to check out and say how it goes, what’s good what’s not and all the such, but who would send me something new and free just to hear what I have to say?…for now no one :(

I watched some of the first Youtube Live thingy today while in between being unwell…I missed the Katy Perry part, which turned out to be first so was no hope in seeing it…until the rerun of it :P but I got to see Bo! Yo! Woah!…Bo Burnham…he’s cool…Katy Perry is…ehh weird…but her Hot n Cold song is damned catchy…and for that I blame a certain someone who got me to listen to it whom I will refer to as…Mr. Xxxx…damn you Mr. Xxxx damn you *shakes fist*

Mmm sleep time I thinkses…

*whistle* Boy am I late haha…sorry, lets not waste anymore time and get right into it shall we?

Custom 2006 Chopper:

I’m not very big on motorcycles but this one looks very nice and fancy I thought…very very shiney too.

Ford Mustang:

American Muscle…what more needs to be said? Not really my type of cookie but I wouldn’t say no if they were as cheap as cookies.

Mazda MX5 2000:

Another wonderful MX5 mmm, I like the body of this one more then the 1999 model, not a heap of difference but enough so much so that I like this one more, seems more sleek and smooth.

Toyota Hilux:

I have a friend who used to have one of these with air bag suspension, only thing with it dropping so low is…well…it’s so low, it hits things and gets marked up, and because of my driveway, not possible to leave in one piece having it down so low…but going up high? now that’s a different story. I don’t care too much for the 2 colours of this car, the green isn’t too bad, and the silver is alright, but both together I think I would pass…it’s like a giant ride ‘in’ lawn mower.

Subness:

Checking to make sure everything was set and ready to go.

Sub Contestant 1 – My friend! woo!

Sub Contestant 2 – The other guy.

After all the serious business was finished we blew up two subs!

Brand New Clarion:

Around 6 Year Old Alpine Type S:

This one has a picture of it with smoking coming out because it blew up nicely…the clarion however just died with no spectacular showness.

Winner of Both Group A and Loudest of the Day:

My friend! woop woot

Two little trophey thingys and two $50 off voucher things, not too bad for an easy days work.

And that’s the end of that chapter…Ch00n in next time for businessy computery stuff and more!

Ooook heh a few days late but I’ve been recovering from getting sunburnt on the day of the car show and soundoff thingy, also had to sort the pictures and videos so all ready for the bloggination. I will be putting this into two parts, first part here will have just photos, second part tomorrow/later today after I wakeup will be last few photos and videos.

Sunday 19th October 2008, I wake up early and jump in the shower, sit down for a bit and doze off a little showerly nap, undozed off and then readied myself for the coming day of caryness…woo…time for a little about me now. I like cars, I like car audio…too much cars though…very easy to lose interest and become boring, wasn’t too bad but lots of the cars there I didn’t care for much…they also had lots of bikes there. After a while of checking out some of the as they called them ‘DB Drags’ I wondered off and took some photos of some cars, they had 2 of my favourites, my main favourite the Mazda MX5 and my other not as big favourite but still very favouritey Chevrolet Impala 1967 4 Door Pillarless!!! woo, if only the front seats where still the bench seat I would have accidentally thought it was my car and driven it home, anyway lets get onto some of the pictures shall we.

Chevrolet Impala:

I much rather the 1967 model over the others, usually I can only find 1968 ones though, I don’t like their back lights too much, the round ones look a bit goofyish, but the squareyish rectangle ones on the 1967 are muuuch nicer.

Chrysler Valiant:

Chrysler…they is fancyness on wheels, I always wanted to get one of their Crossfire’s when they were coming out, shame at the time I was only about 12 to 13 years old haha, but the Valiant I think looks like a fairly classy oldish car, the back tail lights sticking out there on the sides makes it cool.

Holden Statesman:

Not much to say about this…it’s green, I like green, it’s topless I like topless…it’s nice.

Jaguar:

A Jaguar…I’m not too sure on the model of it, not too knowledgeable about them, but they are very nice and sleek I think. One of my 8th grade teachers used to really like the Jaguars, one certain one in specific, I can’t remember which one it was but it was a fairly old one, it was green the one I saw of it, quite nice…that teacher I really liked, when kids would tease and pick on me he would tease and pick on them haha, he was awesome.

Lotus Elan:

Lotus’ again I do not know much about…pretty sure they used one in a James Bond film for the spy car that turned into a mini sub type car and went underwater…not too sure though.

Mazda MX5 1999:

Mmmm MX5 yummy! Ever since Need For Speed Underground came out and I first played it I have loved this car, it’s so cool and classy and just…wow really great.

Volkswagen Buggy:

it’s a Yellow Buggy…Thing….weeee!

That’s enough cary pictureness for now, more later today during daylight hours maybe or the day after, depends on how my time is.

Like I had mentioned in the last thingy, I got hired to built a website for a guy in Panama, fairly nice pay and after 3 days nearly finished as well, will show you my finished product once done.

Lastly before I go I will give you pictures of the two main battlers for the soundoff.
My friend is the first one.

Next post you will get to see them go at it, along with a few more pictures, including a few more of another MX5! woooo!

Hello…

Welcome to my first ever post of blogness.

Today I would like to talk about…erm…*looks around room* me I guess…woo so exciting!

I woke up today at about 10am, got out of bed around 11:30, had a drink of yellow tinted water with the flavour of fruit cup crush, then sat down here…where I have been pretty much the whole time till now, time being 2pm roughly. The things which I have done have been nothing much really, tweaked a bit of the settings here, checked some stuff at my mother’s website which I redesigned over the past 3 days, and ordered some cooking supplies…speaking of which I really need some food scales, it’s tough working by eye and feel.

Today there are no plans really, waiting for the weekend to come as usual. Although I should continue to reorganise my dvd collection and move some things about in my area so I have some more room to move about on my little chair. There are many boxes all around here, I like getting boxes in the mail…not because of the actual box though but because it means there’s stuff inside for me! wooo!

Just then…as in literally just then, I got word back from my local cd shop…now this cd shop more than 5 months ago I ordered a few cds and vinyls from, then over the few weeks after ordered maybe 3 or 4 more vinyls from…got word back maybe 2 month ago that for some reason and something or other they need to reorder it all for me…not too happy but fine since lots of it would have been import stuff anyway I guess…then today I get told that again it will all need to be reordered so I have to go down there with all the names of the things I want and get it sorted out again, then wait for it to come in…if it ever does come in…seriously thinking of just going ‘screw this in person stuff I’m going eBay’ which I really should have done from the start, prices are more then 3/4 of the time cheaper, but still I wanted to give the shop and in personness a chance…and boy oh boy did they blow it…grr. Having a turntable with no vinyls I can tell you is not fun and seems like a big waste of money…lucky for me I got myself a cd player so I had something to spend my time with.

Upon word back from the cd store I got my cooking goodies, so I am all set for tomorrow and Saturday for cooking up some yummyness for guests and such.
