So, I decided to order a new motherboard and CPU before getting a new monitor. Whenever NCIX decides to ship it, I’ll be getting that Asus P4P800-VM, and an Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz. I’ll pick up a Pentium 4 C 3.2 GHz when I have the money to spare, but probably after upgrading the RAM to PC3200 (and a gig or two). Working out a longer term upgrade path now – still need to get a new monitor, SATA drive (mostly for the smaller cables), the Antec Aria case, new memory, a P4, and then either new speakers or a Kenwood stereo receiver and speakers. I haven’t decided yet what I’ll be doing with my current motherboard and CPU. I could either sell it, use it as a fileserver (I’ll need one when I get the Antec Aria, since I won’t want three hard drives in that tiny little case), or let my sister use some of the parts.
Getting lots of extra time at work lately, which is mostly a good thing. I could really use the money at the moment. Some people might get mad that I’m getting extra shifts, while they aren’t even getting five a week, but fuck them. I do lots of good work, unlike some of them, so that’s why.
School is going well, too. I got a 73% on my first test, and I never even had much time to study for it. Since I had to work the night before. I asked to have the night off before my next test though, so I can study. Shouldn’t be a problem. Have to go to class shortly, and I just realized I didn’t make quite enough coffee to take a mug with me. I guess I’ll have to make some more. Or just not bother.
