Been left alone in work to do everything. Got 22 girders to program in 2 hours, and it takes an hour and a bit to do one possibly two. This month so far, i have worked the hardest out of all programmers. I've done 108 programs, the boss has done 62, Damien has done 38 but he's on holiday now so doesn't count (if he was here, he'd overtake the boss) and Jon has done 40 programs. I booked today off and the boss cancelled my day off because i apparantly havn't done enough to compensate a day off and then she booked today off and jon did so leaves me alone, oh well lifes a bitch cos i;m leaving most of the work to her and a note to her boss.

Just beat a very cocky player on Soul Calibur IV, he was giving me all the abuse he could give. I'm a level 1 online, haven't been online a lot and he is a level 45. He kept telling me he never loses, so i thwarted him 3-0 then left. He used a custom character, i used Yung-Seung. Made my already great day quite pleasing even more. Which currently has gone well. With the improvements done to my PC, it has taken my Vista score from 1.8 (yes, it was seriously that) up to 3.8 which is much better. The performance of the PC is much better and i can get a lot more done now than before. Work has gone well, out-did my boss with the workload completed. I did 35 programs today compared to her 6. I'm working to her targets and she isn't and work are noticing. And it is 1 year to the day since i joined Fairfield's.

I've nearly got the funds together to purchase myself a Wii with Smash Bros and Mario Kart. Just £40 short of the target. Took me an hour to fit the new Processor and Graphics card, the old processor was stuck onto the fan and the handle was located under the cooling fan the processor. So had to yank the fan off, the processor came with it and i had to pull out the broken pins. Fitted the new one, plugged everything back in that i unplugged inside the PC and all works fine, and much faster now.

Just scared of Wasps and Crabs mainly because both friggin hurt if they attact you. Crabs are the worst, the pincers clamp on and don't let go. Wasps i am alergic to so swell up in the place they sting badly. And i think i'd jump if i saw a huge spider like the ones in the pictures above, but as long as you know how to pick them up safely then you be fine.

Hopefully we get this same treatment over here as well, won't be too disapointed if we don't though.

Hopefully my new processor and graphics card have arrived today, ebuyer had an option for delivery today and what time slot i wanted it delievered in. Be nice. Which means after buying a PC with the following spec: 80 gig Hard Drive, 512mb RAM, CD/DVD drive, AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor, some cruddy motherboard with a built in nvidia 6250 g-force hs graphics card and Windows Vista Home Basic. Overall it was a slow, painstaking process to get it to do anything. Improvement made are as follows: 160 gig Hard Drive, 2.5 (soon to be 3) gig RAM, CD/DVD drive, AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 5000+ Processor, same motherboard with disabled graphics card and a new 512mb nvidia 8200 g-force gs. graphics card that slots into the board and uses its own memory. Now runs like a dream and does what i tell it when i tell it to do so. Thanks to ebuyer, all the improvements came in at under £150. Day so far is good, plenty of work to do as usual. Got my flippin duty tonight at the local, always the same. Stand there and listen to numbers getting called and to old people shout "house". May sort out the whole duty thing tonight so that the caller doesn't get free drinks and £10 and only gets the £10 and i get the extra free drinks. If that don't work, i think i shall sit in the bar all night.

Hellboy My mate lent me this in preparation for the new movie he wants to see, he needs someone to go with him so i watched the first one to get me in the mood ready. Never seen it before or read any of the comics so i thought it was a good movie. Good action/adventure and Hellboy himself has what is known as a no nonsense tough guy attitude. Good supporting acting as well. Quite liked the movie, 8/10

It can run Vista Aero interface, just poorly. I have spoken to the ICT guys in my work and they told me to get a separate card as the current one leeches my RAM. He also told me that integrated GPU doesn't work effectively with Vista. I ordered a separate card and a new CPU (the dual core), both for £60 together off Ebuyer.

I earn before tax, £15,600 a year which is £300 a week and about £1300 a month. After tax, my take home a year is £13,300 and that works out at just over £260 a week and £1100 ish a month. Its a lot of improvement since the £110 a month i got back when i was 16. Wages have gone from £110, £450, £800, £780, £1100 a month from each job i have had.

Hope they leave the sound as is, loved it. I think they might update it to make it sound fresher mind.

I'm usually in and about newport, think i am heading in at the same time as you. Probably at the end of August. Day so far has been good, work is good. Got a few hours to tidy the house before my sis comes back from Portugal, parents come back on weekend.
-
So the CPU can be upgraded no problem, which is nice. May leave the GPU alone, but may change it as it seems to be unable to run the Vista layout half the time. Had to change my layout to the classic.

N-Europe gets at least 2 visits from me Daily on a weekday. Once at lunch in work, and again when i come home and have had dinner and washed up etc. I usually visit the General Chit Chat topics first then proceed down to Technology, Wii and Other Console Threads and see whats going on in there. Usually got a bit of Jon playing in the background whilst browsing the forum.

I'm thinking about upgrading my current AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor to a AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 6000+ processor. The specs of my board are as follows: I'm not too sure if the new processor will be compatible with the motherboard. Also, my graphics card is built into the board, would this be a problem if i added a new card. It would probably be a nVidia GeForce 8400GS or a 7200GS Current Card: nVidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 Any Suggestions? Edit: CPU Details

Does any anybody know of solutions to cut down the noise from the xbox360?
Jimbob replied to RPGfan's topic in Other Consoles
Mine seems to be a lot quieter than my old Premium model, due to the fact that i got the better DVD-Drives and smaller chipset inside the console and a third fan (yes, the elites come with 3 fans). Still, gets a little noisy though when i play a quiet game or a quiet DVD. But nothing that my sound system can't drown out. -
Mine is my nickname everyone calls me, thats basically it really. It used to have numbers next to it, but has since changed a while ago.

My working week is over, can now enjoy a relaxing 3 day weekend for a change, got a party over the weekend as well as the parents are away as such. Expect drunkenness and excessive swearing etc. May get some pics sorted out for show and tell.

I'm still going on T2 as the better out of T1 and T2. And i'm not saying that because of the special effects. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Watched this last night again, decent film and it saved Carrey from the diabolical Majestic performance. Only just got the whole story as well after a 3rd showing of it. 9/10
