... is very uncertain atm. I'll keep this short. Some of you have probably noticed that I haven't posted a damn word on this site in a while. There are various reasons for that, but the main one is that my interest in GS is diminishing by the minute. I might be back as a lurker that posts from time to time and comments on various blogs. Or I may not, we'll see.

Anyway, I'm doing fine, currently I'm stuck way up in the North of Norway for half a year, after that I have to join the military, probably the Navy as a shipdoctor (for a yr or so), that'll be weird...

If you want to remove me from your friend lists, I won't mind. I know I'm not much of a poster right now anyway.

Have fun, guys, maybe you'll hear something from me in the future.

I see that I'm becoming Mr Negativity on this page.... My last blogs are a rantfest. Here's one more. Heh.

My PC has been unstable for a while now. It all started about half a yr ago when one of the fans on the mobo died. I haven't really had any problems other than frequent crashes in demanding games. I could live with that, until last week that is.

All of a sudden my computer started to BSOD on my ass, I reinstalled some drivers, same problem, I ran a disk check, things got even worse. It started to reboot indefinitely. After 10-15 reboots, I decided to reformat the whole thing.

My first attempt at that was a phail. The PC froze up 37% into the extraction of XP-files (or something like that). Second time things went fairly smooth. I should have done this a long time ago, my PC boots up soooo much faster now and uses half the amount of RAM when idle compared to just a week ago.

So, things seemed to be fine and dandy again, right? Probably a software problem, I thought. That turned out to be semi-true. Last night the PC did not even put out an image to my TV. I had to restart it 15 times to even get Windows running. Even then, my PC sometimes just freezes after 20 seconds. Funny thing though, if it's stable for a couple of minutes, it'll be stable for many hrs. This is really weird.

I want to get a new PC, but only a moron would buy a new rig right now. W7 is right around the corner, no way am I paying twice for a Windows OS in a year. Don't even get me started on the prices of DDR3 RAM and the new Intel-mobos. AMD is about to release new CPUs and mobos as well.

What all this means is that I'm stuck with a PC that is about to draw a last breath. If it does that, I'll have to buy a crappy laptop to be able to at least pay my bills and check my e-mail.

The really sad thing is that I'm not sure whether I can play modern gfx intensive games on this PC or not. I'm glad I have a PS3 and a 360 as well.

This week I think I'll be setting a new personal record. 93 hr work-week. Maybe more if I work overtime. In the ER. Nightshifts only. Artur crazy. Artur sleep deprived, insomnia.. Cannot compute.

I'm wondering: what is the most you've worked in one single week?

Some people just don't have opinions. Like artur79.
artur79 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could artur79 possibly have for not rating a single film?
