Am I a God among men? I like to think so.

... When it comes to computer wiring at least. Wish I had my camera handy for some before and after shots of my handiwork.

So my dad was having some heat problems with his comp. Apparently his evil CPU managed to get itself to 190*F temp's... I know P4 Presscots get themselves hot, but come on, that's nuts. So I worked my magic; started by clearing out the dust in the heatsink fins (wasn't much, but still there), then I spent an hour doing a pretty damn good wiring job if I do say so myself :P

After the usual post-operation complications that always seem to happen whenever I touch a computer, essentially in the time that it would have taken the CPU to reach 160-170*F temps and continue to climb, it was only at 140 and holding steady. Hope it lasts, an hour of messing with god forsaken IDE cables has to be good for something, right?


So, ending this self bragging show, on a random note, I turn 17 this Saturday, w00t! Got my eyes on a nice new camera, a Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd. 6 megapixel, 10.7x zoom, very nice camera, but seems to be a bitch to find. I've already gone to Costco and Best Buy looking for it, but all I could find was the Panasonic Lumix LZ7 (or Lx7, I forget that second letter), Sony Cybershot H2, and the Canon S3IS. All 3 are good camera's, yes, but they all have noise issues at or above ISO 200 (especialy the Panasonic, noise at ISO 80, screw that), where as the Fuji S6000 only has lightly noticable noise at ISO 400, and still tolerable even at 800. So that's the one I want :P


That will end tonight's random post. Goodnight, my legion of evil stalkers.
