[503] Of ira furor brevis est
I need to take a break. Else, what’s temporary might become permanent.
Life feels good without the glove.
Somehow, the photo reminds of me of Fido Dido. Does anybody remember Fido Dido?
Damn, can’t believe it has been so long.
St. Patrick Day is the day when everybody:
1. pretends its holidays
2. pretends its spring
3. pretends everybody is above 21
Climate change has possibly made sure that pretending one of the above is harder – I woke up just now and I saw a number for tiny vengeful white flakes invading the cursed Ann Arbor. Heck, as if seeing the disgusting weather with my own eyes is not enough, on the internet, winter storm watch for the Midwest has been issued.
Anybody willing to check when was the latest snowfall each year for the last 100 years for Ann Arbor?
Though I know some econometrics, I’m just too lazy to analyze them. If you want to do it, some sites to look at are the NOAA and the pioneer of online weather report at the University of Michigan Weather. The zipcode for Ann Arbor is 48109 and its location is longitude 83 deg, 43 mins and lagitude of 42 deg, 18 mins. North and west of course.
p/s – somehow, I remember, it snowed in April too. Maybe it’s not too unnatural.
I’ve been on World of Warcraft for more than 24 hours combined now since Thursday after the exam. Had some fun all day long until, earlier today, my friend successfully demonstrated the worst kind of lag I’ve had ever seen. My computer froze and all my senses could absord was the sound of the game; the frame rate was practically 0.
Frustrated, I logoff from Warcraft a few hours later and went to newegg.com, Price Watch and amazon.com to do price comparison for two components: memory and video card. (Google is a darling too, I say. Go Gooooooooooooooooooogle.)
The choice for memory is never a problem. I’ve always trusted Crucial Technology and so, I went straight for it. I saw other like Kingston and Corsair but I rather not face any difficulty with compatibility – inside my computer, I already have a Crucial’s 256MB DDR.
The main issue is the video card. I must admit, I’ve been lagging with news and improvement in graphics – too many economics make me forget other stuff. The last time I read about video cards in the news was when ATi Radeon 9700 was the king. Right now, I’m not sure who’s the king but I didn’t know that there is a GeForce 6 out there. It seems right now, Radeon XT is the best right now but, I don’t really know and all I want to do is play World of Warcraft.
I considered ATi Radeon 9700, which cost roughly $150. However, I was in the idea that that was an overkill. All I want to do with a new graphic card is to play World of Warcraft, not Half-Life 2 or Doom 3. Besides, my motherboard only support AGP 4x. Still, I might upgrade my mobo in the near future so…
So, I considered a GeForce…
Brb! (or maybe not) Gotta log into Warcraft now! The urge is too great to resist!
