I figured it was due time for me to post another blog. So here it is;

My maths grades are slipping, and I.T Systems grades are aswell (OMFG!!!!1!!one). D and B (*cry*). Respectively.
As a side note my Lit teacher wants my babies, my Physics teacher rapes the english language on a daily basis (as does my Maths teacher), my english teacher contributes occasionally, and my Vet Info teacher is in the same camp as my lit teacher.

Nothing new with the computer, it's REALLY taken back seat for the past month - girlfriend, schooling, financial instability and what not. i'm 16 and i literally have my own bills. And i work. Sad.

Anywho, about the only things to do with PCs here is my motherboard MUST be my problem. My RAM was crap, i knew that, but it's only the internet that *ucks up. So i've done my best to fix it, but it still craps out occasionally. So eh.
Also, i've tried using linux lately (any of those KC users  will know my dramas). I wanted to install it on a blank unpartitioned part of the hard drive, but it won't boot onto it, it needs to install IDE/SATA/RAID drivers (why? i don't know). So no linux for Andy.

Relationship's going uhh, well? Had a bit of a go at the ex-misses, apparently she was saying sh*t about my girlfriend. Put the poor girl into tears, quite unintentionally, too.

I figured i'd blog ya's to keep ya'll up to date. It goes a little somethin' like this - kick it, dawg;

#1 Plans for a new rig are going smoothly - but it will be a second computer, because alas, i can't even throw out my current computer. E-bay here i come, i guess.

#2 The new computer, and yes i will build it before Core 2, will be *holds breathe* a Pentium based system. I've always wanted a reason to have watercooling. And no, it's not in preparation of core 2.

#3 We also have plans for a frag box. This is what i'm gunning for. I want a fragbox - not a full size - for my next computer.
Liquid cooling + mobility + overclocking = multiple orgasms as i stroke my box of steel to sleep each night. Although i can see a lot of problems with it...

#4 I've been considering making my own LCD screen. I was going to basically rip up the monitor i have now, get a second one, remove the casing from that too, build a wooden box (so it looks integrated with my desk) and sit two LCD screens side by side (no plastic barrier) next to each other for 2560x1024 goodness on my fragbox. It'll be quite the site. And quite the lag, alas.

#5 Life itself has picked up. I'm up to a C in my maths methods - which i think really annoyed my teacher. Stupid cow. The first time i go to a tutor, my mark jumps from a D- to a C - in a single hour session, where i was drunk. Yes boys and girls, i **** you not. He was a friend and it was free, but it tells you a lot about this dud of a teacher.
My grades are like this;

Methods - C
Physics - B+
Literature - A+
English - C (dont ask.)
IT Systems - B+ average (don't ask. again.)
VET I.T - A+++++++++

About the VET info. Finally a teacher recognises my capability and he's allowed me to build the computer we're using for the next chapter. We need windows 98, so he's got me building an old pentium 2 (and yes, i overclocked it - my luck it was a Celeron 333A) system out of spare parts. Troubles with windows 98, but other than that, it's working. I know he was impressed.

#6 Love life is going swimmingly. Well, it's going atleast. Still happily with my multi-talented girlfriend. It's got great perks, like being able to say "i'm dating the only year 11 girl in the last 5 years to get a lead role" - and WOW can she sing. Gotta love it.
Makes me feel musically declined, because i suck at even whistling. Birds vomit with rage when the notes of my whistling dare cross their fragile ears.

#7 The biggest announcement of all...
I'M BAAAACKKK
Yes, it is the biggest purely because it's got 36pt font.

Everything has settled, so i'm coming back on GS more regularly.

SEE YOU IN THE CORE, MY FELLOW OC TROOPS!

Thought i'd dedicate this to it's own blog.

Well, with the transition to "family computer-ness" of my ex-gaming rig, there'll be a few modifications done to it. One significant one, which will make quite a few of us cry - but that'll wait till the end. First of all - storage issue.

First of all - my 200GB hard drive is near full. Already. Family computer for 1 week and it's near full. Call me overkill-crazy, but i'm going out on the weekend to buy a second 200GB, and 36GB Raptor. One for the OS and BF2, and the other for storage - take a guess at which one i mean.

Windows takes a good 30 seconds to boot now. It's driving me crazy. All the registry/hard drive tweaks in the world ain't helping me out. My pagefile is a damn 4.1GB of space! Not to mention 128MB of Virtual RAM storage.

So new hardware it is. If i had the luxury - i'd sell it and start from scratch, considering i have $3k sitting there (WOO-HOO!) - but i need a car out of that money, too. And yes lads, it's all mine, all was mine, and all WILL be mine - MUAHAHAHAHAHAH.
That felt appropriate to add.

Expect to see more from me soon.
