The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

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.

Dude, you missed quite a show. They did the same set last night as they did in Virginia.

The Well of Souls
Mirror, Mirror
Solitude
Emperor of the Void
Devil Seed
Dark are the Veils of Death
Crystal Ball
Of Stars and Smoke
A Sorcerer's Pledge

Encore:
Black Dwarf
Samarithan

Robert Lowe, in particular, was fucking awesome. There was a quiet moment between songs, and someone yelled "Messiah Who?", then people started chanting "Messiah sucks!". I think Lowe probably enjoyed that. You know, I almost didn't want to hear him sing Samarithan because I didn't think anyone could come close to how Messiah sang it, but he fucking nailed it.

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

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?

I ordered a Q6700, which is actually a 2.66Ghz, not a 3. Correction there. DDR3's better in terms of power consumption, but it wasn't much of an explicit choice. The board I've ordered supports it. (I had to go for an intel chipset for all the part time linux-related experimentation I'm aiming to do with this). The stuff's still 'on its way'.

I had saved up for a bigger rig since a really long time, so I had the liberty to be a bit extravagant. Hence the 8800GT's.. they are pure impulse but I'm excited for em :p. I've yet to pick a case, accessories and such.

For the two boxes I already own, I run vista, xp, all distros of linux you can think of (and even 98 on one :p).

Praise teh lord for the service pack.
 
Watching the football game Man. U. vs Chelsea, hoping Chelsea will finally win their first CL trophy in their first ever final/
 
Just finished my last Lost Coast Brewery Oatmeal Stout and watched a few episodes of Family Guy. I'm taking it easy this week. Yesterday I went to the beach with some friends and got a little sun poisoning, I think. At least, I'm definitely sunburned and I feel slightly sick still. That's the price you pay for fun in the sun. :cool: Hopefully I'll get in some quality writing tonight. Creative, of course; I write fantasy fiction and poetry in my spare time, and I have a few short stories that are more "post-modern" reality fiction.

I expect to be spending a lot of time on this forum this summer. With the girlfriend gone, I'll have a lot of spare time (but at least I'll have more time to spend with my mates :cool:).
