So I've been a dutifully neglectful blog-keeper. Not too much has changed since I last wrote, though. I went on vacation, had a wonderful time with my girlfriend (despite the less-than-stellar weather in Florida), and fried my now-former cell phone in the Gulf of Mexico. Work has been going well, and I've been tasked with additional responsibilities that I look forward to tackling. My girlfriend is up in New York for the summer, and even though I don't see her all too much because she works longer hours than myself. All in all, life has been good and I cannot complain. I do need to see my high school friends again, as it's been almost 3 months since I last saw them, but I've done my best to try and keep up with everyone.
I'm currently writing this entry on my newly-constructed desktop, which caused me way too much grief (a barely functioning PSU can do that) and, as usual, plenty of cuts on my fingers. But it's all put together, and my next project is figuring out how to move 32-bit files from my legacy hard drives in 3 months when I finally make the jump to 64-bit processing with Windows 7. I may also go for a better graphics card (the one I have is pretty ancient, and I wouldn't have to dish out much for an upgrade) and perhaps a Blu-Ray drive as well. But I'm pleased with the build overall. I went for an AMD again, but I overclocking will get it up to where the Core i7s are, and the price differential - even though it's only $100-150 - wasn't worth it in my mind. Gone are the days where I savor after having the best computer around; my main concern is having one that does daily operations smoothly. When solid-state disk prices come down, that'll be the day.
That's about all for now. I plan on posting a bit more vigilantly after this respite...two months is too long to go without saying anything.
