Lots o’ stuffage

Well, it’s been a while since I posted, and I still can’t think of all
that much to write about. Dave
and Matt are back in town. We got
together last weekend for some fun fun LAN games. We played some Jedi
Knight II and Half-Life. Matt didn’t seem to have all that good a
time, but everyone else seemed to be having fun.
Before the LAN party began, I installed some new parts in my PC. I
finally replaced that heatsink that fell off with a Swiftech that screws
onto the motherboard. Now I have no fear that I will fall off again. I
also got a DVD-ROM drive, a SoundBlaster Audigy, and some rounded
cables. It’s all pretty slick now. I did however find out on Sunday,
after the LAN games, that way back when I got the new motherboard (after
the first one was fried when the heatsink fell off), I never set the
frontside bus speed correctly, so it was set to 100Mhz instead of
133Mhz, causing my CPU to run around 1.1Ghz instead of 1.5Ghz. Can’t
believe I didn’t notice it for so long.
Anyway, after figuring out my PC had been running too slow, Andrea and I
went out to dinner and then to the Milford Drive-In
to see High Crimes and Bad Company. I thought they
were both pretty good, though the former got a little slow at times. I
don’t think either one is anything terrible special, but good to kill
some time. However, don’t go see them both at a drive-in on a Sunday night when
you have to get up for work the next morning. That doesn’t work too well…
That reminds me, last Thursday, Matt, Chris, and I went and saw Sum of All Fears.
That is a good movie, and I recommend it. Not sure what else
to say, since it would be hard to say anything without giving away parts
of the movie. So go see it.
