The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Ender Rises]

I'd have to see the setlist before I decided to go to an Opeth show. They never seem to play the songs I want to hear live, with the exception of the Roundhouse Tapes. It depends, I guess. I'd like to hear a song from each era/album at least.

Surfing on our upgraded internet connection. Went from dialup to cellular internet. And with a wireless router. So now I'm cruising 10x faster while on the couch, not confined to the length of a phone cable.

Breathe the fresh air, my friend.

I'm about to go whip me up a cheese steak, then I'm going to start making my way up to NYC for motherfucking Candlemass tonight!

That was pretty much the sickest shit I've ever seen. Holy fuck were they awesome. I was right up against the stage, too.

Just ate a quesadilla. I love mexican food.

Damn. I wish I had gone, but I didn't have anyone to go with, besides some internet people I have never actually met. Oh well, I went to a Nationals game instead.

Right now, tagging some music, but I'm going to bed soon. Tagging is annoyingly exhausting. I should probably tag music right when I get it, so I don't have to deal with these huge tagging sessions.

 

[Ender Rises]

Why bother? Get Winamp. Auto-tag ftmfw. Although I imagine it wouldn't be able to handle the really obscure stuff, but it did get Benighted right, so make of that what you will.

Indeed I am, because I'm writing this sitting on my deck it the middle of a pine forest overlooking the ocean, not in my bedroom.

Everyone in our house has a computer now. Me and my mum have laptops, my brother has an old desktop, and my dad has a new desktop.

Staying home from school because I'm sick.

Speaking of which, I built a new rig weeeeeeee

specs:
Intel core 2 quad - 2.66 ghz (8mb L2 cache)
4GB DDR3 RAM (single slot)
2 x nVidia Geforce 8800 GT 512MB SLI kickass
2 x 500GB SATA HDD's
liquid cooling system
Dell 24" Ultrasharp TFT widescreen

+ lots of supercool unmentioned bells and whistles

edit: 3ghz -> 2.66ghz

OWNED.

Opeth is having a headlining tour of their own in the fall; I'm going to that. I skipped the Dream Theater tour because I don't like 3 at all, I don't like Between the Buried and Me enough to pay to see them live, and the same with Dream Theater.

3 were amazing, to be honest. Better than Opeth, actually. Fucking godlike. I'd never heard them before, but they fucking ruled. BTBAM kinda sucked and I don't like DT, so I was bored shitless.

Awesome, I got quoted twice.

Dates? I might be interested in this since my only experience with them live was Gigantour, in which they played just 4 songs.

They played an hour last night and it was great, although they didn't do any fan favorites (Where was Windowpane? When? April Ethereal? Serenity Painted Death? They did The Drapery Falls, though)).

Quick question: Do you think your two sli'd cards are ultimately better than this either of these cards?

Card 1

Card 2

I ask this because I am unsure of the specs of your cards when using SLI, and would - like everybody with financial problems - be able to afford the best hardware I can get for the cheapest price.

my internet is sooo slow =[

it takes like half an hour to buffer a video.

Nice. But... your quad core. Please tell me you didn't get one of the new gen quad cores.

Also, ddr3 RAM = still overpriced. ddr2 is far less expensive and not much worse.

and... SLI = nono. SLI chipsets are crappy, can't overclock well and prone to overheating. crossfire would be a better bet, but tbh I'd have gone for a single gts 512mb, which would give you the same performance.

If you have liquid cooling, you can probably OC that procesor past 3.00ghz, mine is running at 3.4 on air. (q6700)

good choice of screen, they're stunning. Not what I have, but stunning.

What case did you pick?

Erm... no? Vista is FAR more stable, more so than XP now, than when first released, and you get dx10 support, lots of nice gubbins, and more.

9800s are re-labelled 8800s, they're going to be taken off the market soon anyway. No real performance gain for a steep price increase.
As mentioned before, I'd go for this

Lunch at work. God, it's great to have finally gotten a full night of sleep beforehand. For the past two or three months, I'd only been getting anywhere from 1 and 5 hours of sleep. It was horrible. Working part-time really fucks me up since I inevitably stay up late on the nights when I don't have to get up early. School stress and noisy apartment mates don't help either. But now school is over, and I'll be moving out of that goddamn apartment in about three weeks.
