The spectacular deaths of computers
Without going into too many details, I started Sunday with two computers and finished with none. Hardware problems were the order of the day, and so I am ditching my miserable SFF case (I’m looking at you, Soltek) and going with a comparitively gigantic microATX case and motherboard. With the investment of a mere $140, I’ll be able to cram the best parts of the two dead machines into something that is quiet and, ideally functional.

Old-skool blogging
After some consideration (and paranoia about the direction things seem to be going on the web), I decided to reign in control over my own ideas (unoriginal as they are). So thats why I’m blogging under my own steam now, despite the excellent tools afforded to me by the likes of LiveJournal, MySpace, Facebook, and Blogger. I’m also syndicating my blog via RSS so that folks with aggregators can read me without actually coming to my website.
