My eyes are bleeding...interesting
Exam period, where I cram everything I need to know into the few hours or so before the actual exam, as opposed to actually taking the time to study. I'll pass. No HDs or even Ds but I'll make it.
Brother is getting a new computer, and I'm a bit jealous but its his turn. Being the second child he seems to get all the hand-me-downs over these past few years. So this will probably cheer him up. The bad thing about buying a new computer is that there is never a good time to buy one. Intel's Penryn and AMD's Phenom are lurking in the wings, so anything I buy now is going to be obsolete soon. DDR3 is on the horizon as well. At least the nVidia 8800GT is looking good. Personally I would wait a few months, but since my brother wants one now...I'll just make the most of it then. Forgive the techno-speak for those not on the computer hardware scene.
Next exam is radiographic practice, which tests which projections I use to x-ray the anatomy and related pathology. The exam will probably rape me bad. As long as I don't fail though. Crap thing is that I have a clinical briefing at 11am, to update our radiation monitors and tell us where we're going. Except the exam starts at 9am and ends at 11:10am. I'm not sure who that's going to happen. The dude in charge of clinical should check out exam schedules again.
Paintball next Wednesday because it's been a while since I last had some paintball action. Plus I get to drive there, so a little more freedom. Still I have to find my way there. I might get my dad to accompany me on a scouting mission on the weekends. So I know where to go and don't get lost.
Job thingo went well enough. I think I'm in and all I have to do is wait for the email stating my starting times (after the exams of course). Altogether $150 for 10 hours work over the weekend. Not that bad. On Sunday, I was working with this Chinese uni dude who was studying accounting. He kept bending over to lift the heavy boxes, when he should have kept his back straight. Next time you have to lift heavy objects, either alone or with a mate, dammit, keep your back straight and use your leg power. Not worth it having a crick in your back.

hey im getting a new comp too
and the 8800GT will definitely be in it. you'd be insane not to get that, excellent timing to buy a computer i'd say.
8800GT paired with the athlon64 6000x2 or a E6750 are the chips to get because of the price horizon, they're not gonna drop, and they're at the end of the flaghip life so im pretty sure're they're awsome buy's.
particualy with the Q and QX comming out the E series aren't goin to have a price drop any time soon and Q cores are useless for at least the next year.
and DDR3 is not worth it unless you're prepared to play $1000.
you can also protect yourself and get an intel who will limit its ram speed anyway, therefore there wud be no difference if you had DDR2 or DDR3.
ahaha keep a lookout for my new comp on my blog soon. should be ordering parts soon, think i'll import the case and get parts from fluidtek or msy around the end of december. hoping for some christmas comp sales.
Yeah, I'm thinking a E6850 + 2Gb ram + 8800gt. It'll handle well.
My brother wants his computer now. So I'm building it as soon as my exams are over.
Next time your eyeballs bleed, take a photo for me. I'd like to see it.
