I’m Hearing: a random ambient Shoutcast stream

Damn, hachi’s server is down again…guess I’ll have to post this later on when it comes back up.

Well…as it turns out…I not only passed my design class but actually got an AB in it. With the exception of one person, I think everyone got that grade, which is not only suprising but strangely comforting. Appropriately enough, we all discovered this fact on Saturday when we got together for a party in honor of all the strife we encountered throughout the semester, which only added to the excitement of the day. Heh. It was great…drank beer all afternoon and we even had live entertainment…Ben’s elderly neighbor came over and “played” his accordion for us. Wowza. Then we smashed the hell out of an old fax machine and a 13″ monitor with a baseball bat, Office Space style. :-)

My computer is still doing odd things…I installed a motherboard monitoring program so I could watch the temperature of the CPU…it was hanging out around 90° F which seemed a little high so I had Brian bring over his thermal compound… Well…it didn’t go so smoothly and Jon ended up coming over and helping to “fix” the problem…in the end he ended up rigging up an 80mm fan to the heatsink with twist-ties, and the processor was holding steady at about 95° F. So I ordered a new heatsink and fan…hopefully that’ll do a better job of keeping things at a reasonable temp.

Went to Perkins with Dave 2 nights (well, early mornings, to be more precise) in a row now…shall we make it 3? :-) Heh.

Oh yeah, basically the one thing that’s been sucking up my time lately is Legaia 2…been playing that for hours on end. It’s a very typical menu-based RPG and quite addicting. I’m about 16 hours into it now…no idea how long it’s supposed to take.
