Well, since last time we spoke nothing much has been happening in my techie world! I got the Xigmatek heatsink last week and with the help of a few online forums for some reference voltages, i managed to push it to a whopping 3.25Ghz per core (Q6600 quad core), idling at 33oC. The heatsink is awesome and i would urge everyone to go out and buy several.

Aside from tech, ive still been laid up with the man flu that seems to be going round – i even had to take the unprecendented step of ringing in sick for work on monday and tuesday – well i say ringing, i actually emailed because i lost my voice! (Not very good working on IT support when you cant speak ).

Ive also been ploughing through my graduate applications, got quite a few pending now which im happy with, and ive bought a few psychometric testing books to read through to hopefully give me an advantage – after i managed to somehow fail the aptitude test for Orange IT & Networks graduate scheme which i was bloody perfect for, but dont get me started on this stupid flugging tests.

Finally, I spent the weekend at Frans in Birmingham which was fun – chilling out with her and her brother on Saturday night at their pub “Gosta” or whatever! Managed to see quite a few people from Intel while walking around town which was surprising lol

Anyway, off for another shift at the dream factory – adios.
