Broken…

April 11th, 2005

I’m broken! Yes. I am. *Sigh* It all started with me wanting to install a telephone outlet in our study. Didn’t want to have the DSL modem in the hallway. Right. Bought cable and other misc stuff and got to work. Somewhere between me starting and me finishing and plugging everything in, my knee got a bit upset with all the work out it was getting. Didn’t notice anything unusual the day after. The day after that – ouch! Bit painful. Weeeell, it’ll pass. Went to work, worked, went home again. Next day I had to go buy some strong painkillers and a pair of crutches. Damn knee looked like a football all this weekend. Anyway, I think it’s slowly starting to recover now. Wish me luck!

Moved

March 23rd, 2005

During the w/e, me and my significant other moved from our three room appartment to the house we recently bought. It has like six rooms, two bathrooms + sauna, garage, storage shed etc. It’s friggin’ huge (compared to what I’m used to anyway). The actual move was a painful experience in many ways. Mostly due to the fact that my body isn’t accustomed to that much physical labor. The only thing left now is to get the house in order. We have boxes full of stuff everywhere (I’m not kidding). Also, I’m waiting for my DSL-connection to be installed.

Been swamped

February 23rd, 2005

Been a bit swamped at work, so I haven’t been able to work on this little test. Also, the fan on my graphics card (on my main system at home) broke down, so I can’t use the computer for more than 10 minutes. Luckily I have my laptop, but working on a laptop is a bit slower, atleast for me… Anyway, I ordered a new fan this weekend, and it should arrive today. I got me a Zalman VF700-AlCu which should be more than enough for my needs.

update: The fan arrived today, as predicted. I’ve installed it and run some Radeon demos to warm the chip up a bit. No problems so far. Let’s hope it stays this way.
