Promises, promises

January 21st, 2009

I can only say; don’t make too many promises. I said I should blog a it more yesterday - but reality has made it so that my only working computer at home is my Aspire One, and the time I had set off for blogging and fixing up a theme download went into a drain marked “fix desktop computer”. Will be back.

The hardware race in computers

November 28th, 2008

I’ve had my computer crash a lot on me recently. More and more often, and I finally caved in, pulled it out on the floor and opened it. Two questions hit me:

  1. What is the cause of these crashes?
  2. Is that a used vacuum cleaner filter, or the fan of my graphics card?

Right. At least I hope that was the problem. I guess the next few days will show if it was that or still is a problem. My new card is a big, fanless monster I inherited. It’s better than the one I picked out of the computer. Really looking forward to see if it changes my experience in games.

Beaut of an ATI 9800 pro; it even required a separate power chord.

I really should think about adopting a new box.
