Uni Begins and Heatsink Pain
13 days on i think its about time for another blog!
The last 13 days have been fairly random as always, involving trips to the Pav, 5th Ave, a weekend with Fran, a weekend with Joe, rebuilding my PC twice and generally having fun!
Couple of weeks ago we decided to hit up the pav for the first time in 2 years – this involved copious amounts of pre-drinks with Martin, Fi, becky and Dave. Ended up getting a Ratvan hotdog before we headed in (which i still regret!) and had a good time in the Pav for 5-6 hours! Went for an emotional walk around Irwell also, quite sickening to see the darkside so decimated from its former glory!
The weekend after was the most fun one so far in Manchester; Fran came up on the Thursday for a long weekend and we spent a couple of days chilling before heading out massively with Joe Joe and Matt on Friday night to 5th Ave. Ended up having a cracking night, although we had to leave at 1am to try and find matt – who wasnt in the club, or outside. On returning home, he wasnt there either. Confused we left it for a few hours until at around 3.30am he strolls through the door pissed as a fart covered in mud having no recollection of where he went! Great times lol
Other than alcoholism, our technolog-ising has continued. I purchased 2, yes 2, Samsung 22″ widescreen TFT’s (same backpanels as Dell Ultrasharps reputedly!), along with a new Freezer 7 Pro heatsink for my PC, which i have rebuilt and cleaned so it can go on my desk in all of its Antec 900 glory.
Due to the that that one of our housemates may or may not contribute to the internet bill, we are setting up a VPN point to point network in our house; whereby each of us will have a vpn client to the point of presence linux box on the edge of our network, e.g. the only way to the internet. If you dont have a valid certificate, you dont have the internet, its simple. So if he doesnt pay – he doesnt play
