    Well that sounds of personal experience :coolgrin: hehe!

    *buffs her fingernails* It is. That's how hardcore geeks get things done. ;)

    Consider this: both Google and Microsoft have been experimenting with running server farms fully open and exposed, components arranged on top of cookie trays, and it improved airflow and cooling (which cuts down energy consumption).

    I'm running my desktop with one side open, because rendering will otherwise jack up CPU temperatures (and thus agitate the cooling system into action). I originally did this for summer. I may end up leaving it permanently open. My server racks have similar arrangement, except I put a metal mesh over the sides to protect them from accidental handswings and insects.

    So running a system with DVD player on a side and case open? Practically something I see done everywhere in my circle of friends. ;)

    That's really cleaver, it makes sense to do that, as long as it's protected like you mention it seems rather practical :smirk:

    Today is pretty much a wash. Accomplished almost none of my task list.


    Did cook crispy spicy chicken thighs, ame out well although took 2 hours to cook. Pork ribs still in the oven after 5 hours, but should be done soon. Managed to get my writing projects organized, buy music to write to, order cooking supplies (for bbqing), set up King Ghidorah, unpack and set my plush lionfish with the snakes and iguana (yay) and start in on wiring the Dell laptop up as a house-pubolic computer. started reinstalling my laptop-based music studio for doing electronic/soundscape stuff since i can't play guitar any more.


    Did NOITHING on my blogs or my Website,. Didn't write a lick, didn't sculpt. Did do laundry. Meh.

    Still listening to some great tracks by you on my ipod :)


    :red: :red: :red: :red: :red: :red: :red:

    More in a couple of months, I hope! :coolsmile:

    I wanna go see a movie, but I've already seen everything I wanted to see that is currently playing (ParaNorman) . :(

    For me going to the movies isn't worth the expense (gas, ticket, snack, and temptation to shop at the mall) unless the movie is in 3D. I've got a nice (not great but nice) 32" HD (1080) TV at home that is only 5 and a half feet from my eyes. I have DishTV, NetFlix, and a Blu-Ray player so I have access to a lot of HD movies right at home. I don't have 3D TV though. So movies in 3D give me a reason to fork over about $20 for the theater experience (gas, ticket, snack, and temptation to shop at the mall).

    At home I can go to the snack bar (kitchen) at my convenience by stopping the movie, I can back up to re-play something that I missed, and what is sometimes most convenient I can skip through the boring parts at the click of a button. Moreover, I don't have to get dressed up to see the movie and I can cover up with a blankie, put a pillow behind my head, sip hot chocolate and lean way back in my recliner and fall asleep if the movie loses its interest. (just try that at the theater).

    Movies at the theater have the big audience atmosphere and the "you're there to see the movie" concentration effect but 2D movies are just less expensive and more convenient at home these days. And any good 2D movie will be out on NetFlix, or Dish or DVD or Blu-Ray within 3 or 4 months or less, so sometimes it's just worth waiting.

    I'm pretty sure what's going to happen if/when I get a 60" 3D TV and a 3D capable Blu-Ray machine! :-o i.e. No more $5 small bags of popcorn! :-s

    Arghhh... I've lost another of my children! (*sob*)

    I had a Windows2000 computer that worked last time I tried it about a year ago but has been recently serving only as a small end-table next to my recliner to hold my TV remote & cable remote controls.

    Someone gave me a nice little table yesterday that would serve the purpose so I tested my old Win2000 machine last night and it wouldn't turn on ( probably a power supply or mother board problem or perhaps just a switch issue) so I tested it further and discovered that the tiny (10GB) hard drive was dead too. Isn't it curous how things just die while turned off! :-o Nice machine in its day but it's day has passed. It had been maxed out in memory (384MB) years ago so I just decided to not even strip it for parts and just scrapped the whole thing. (sob). Time marches on!

    Edited to add: I did actually scavenge the memory. Three modules of 128MB PC-133 synchronous SDRAM, CL3. Don't know why! It will just sit in my box of old memory till it turns to dust a couple thousand years from now. However, just yesterday I was able to find a home for two old 512MB DDR-400 memory modules into a friend's ancient XP machine replacing his two 256MB DDR-333 memory. Makes his machine almost sluggish now instead of comatose. :-0

    I guess a computer dying while turned off is like dying in its sleep. People say dying in your sleep is the best way to go. I don't want to go that way. It will 6 months before anybody discovers my body! I want to die awake while on the phone to someone telling them to come pick up my body before I ooze all over my gorgeous rugs. :-o

    I made MY coleslaw Thursday and was asked if we could have more with tonight's dinner. Sure thing I love it. Sunday Dinner will be good this week.

    Now they want waffled every weekend I live here.


    Right now mum is reading a library book. Stepfather is watching a football game. I am browsing the forums in between reading chapters of a library book.


    Mum is not watching the game because they are teams she does not care for.


    I am reading Meyer's The Host.

    I am thinking of writing a bit. I still need to decide on an exact location for my story.

    I think a vamp can play indoor football as he would not be out in sunlight and those games tend to be at evening to night.

    *chuckles* Won't he die in the moonlight too though? (The moonlight is after all the suns rays reflecting off the moon) :P
    .
    Why don't you get him a parasol? It works for Remilia Scarlet for when she wants to go out during the day :D
    And no is not a magic parasol. Just a regular one you could find anywhere~

    It sounds like an interesting mystery, but chances are the truth behind it is underwhelming ^_^
    .
    ... ...
    .Remilia references the Star of David in one of her attacks, and her younger sister Flandre references Kagome Kagome. Coincidence?

    Hmmm moonlight killing vampires? Interesting thought.


    This type of vamp gets sick in sunlight but not die.


    My kitties are being bad at their temporary home. They need to be rehomed again but I am so far away.

    Sometimes the depression gets too strong, and it's impossible to shake. I guess it's just part of this.. so many things I should have done, so many things I shouldn't have. And no changing the past, it's etched in stone, and bone, and flesh.

    The most dangerous thing is to stop caring. There isn't anything to fix that.
