1:39p - Video / Monitor / Grr Easter
Damn you Jeebus!
My monitor is on next working day delivery.. Great! It's Easter! Foiled again..
I'm on my old CRT at the moment until it arrives. I forgot how unclear it is.. It's not a bad monitor really, it's just so eye-strainy in comparison... Hurry up Tuesday! ..
Octocore 3Ghz MacPros came out a couple of days ago.. Comically impressive, Though a full refresh of all Mac hardware is probably due relatively soon anyway.. This seems to just be a BTO option for people who need 8 3Ghz cores.. Which I can't imagine is many people, but hell.. FASTNESS!! .. £3k(ish) 
My video card adventure took another turn yesterday when I fitted the new, v nice, giant Zalman fan (the old fan enclosure didnt fit in the Mac!) , only to realise it requires power from a 4 pin molex connector.. "No problem!" I thought.. "I'll use one of the PSU connectors".. The G5 setup has *one* 4 pin molex connector - for the optical drive.. All of the other power connectors are SATA. So now I've had to order a molex splitter. G5 PSUs are unexpectedly strange.. I've never had much need to look at it before..
Worlds most expensive/complicated "free" upgrade!
  
3 generations of cooling, one stupid 9600xt.
Missed Andy's colouring thingemy last night by just .. not going. Terrible reason. I hope it went well anyway..!
Also.. It's Friday Flock tonight.. Probably not going to that either, but thought I should mention anyway! The Sunday Black Sheep-a-thon thing also sounds interesting though.. Going to that instead. :D (Thats the plan anyway.. Must leave house for reasons other than Uni.)
current mood:  okay
current music: Towards the top - Artrosis (comment on this)
