Au revoir ‘Daily Link List’
And good riddance.
Daily Link List 16-01-2009
Just a test
This is just a test for something.
Happy Finnish Independence Day!
Today is Finnish Independence Day.
It has been 91 years since they gained official independence from Russia.
In honour of this, I shall listen to only Finnish music today (starting now), use Linux and eat cinnamon rolls.
New habits take over time…moreso!
Well, the people that read this should know that I have a gaming addiction. Well, its more of a game buying addiction.
THAT IS BEING QUELLED!
By an anime addiction! Just so typical isn’t it?
I’ve always (always being 8 years) been into anime. Here and there over the years but since having a job I FINALLY can buy all the stuff I wish more regularly. Maybe soon (2 weeks?) I’ll post up a list of what I have and then post how much its kicked my pocket in the groin!!
Speaking of habits, since changing my degree and getting this job, I am constantly looking at programming articles, blogs, wikis and forums. I wasn’t this interested while I was doing it a year ago but I think I have finally found the correct mindset for it.
Now it gets better…
The first contract for this job finishes in roughly a month but I have a second one after it. It should last about a year (depending on quotas) and it requires me to my first bit of *professional* programming albeit lame and something I never though I would do.
I have to write a database and userdoctor-friendly frontend that will be able to manage a few thousand patients as well as, by my calculations, 6GBs of readily accessible PDFs. It will also need to have an easy email and print function.
Sounds fun? It damn well should be and then it will get to the point where I will want to die!
New Computer
Well, I finally got around to buying and building my new computer.
The parts are a lot different to what I said they would but oh so much better.
The biggest change: My bandwagon switch from Nvidia to ATi. But it was totally worth it.
Specs:
Asus Rampage Formula Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
Corsair 4GB 1066Mhz PC-8500 DDR2
Powercolor ATi HD4870
OCZ GameXStream 850W PSU
Samsung 750GB 7200RPM HDD
LG DVD-RW SATA
Coolermaster Stacker 830SE
ZBoard
Logitech MX Revolution
Logitech Z-2300 THX Speakers
Thats pretty much it. So far no problems and it is no super loud like I thought it was going to be.
HOORAY!
Drink Finlandia!
Just do it. Best vodka known to man!
*hopes he gets some money for plugging*
Boogaloo
Writing a post here with a phone is weird!
Why with a phone?
Because we moved house and telstra didnt install internet or cable!
Bastards!!!
