A while back my desktop started giving me problems. Eventually it just sort of died. I could have repaired it for under $100, but decided to wait until I had some extra money and go for an all out upgrade. That day has finally come, and I know sit typing from my upgraded machine. So far its pretty nice – for those interested I went from an AMD Athon 64X2 3800+ with 2GB of RAM to a Core 2 Duo E6750 with 4GB of RAM. A change of motherboard was of course required, and I kept the rest of the guts of my computer. My video card (7600GT) has help up very well, and there’s no need to switch out my hard drives at the moment. The biggest relief of all is getting back to my 19″ wide screen monitor from my laptop’s 14″. I missed using this thing.

I also started a Twitter account, just to see what all the hubbub was about. I was also able to trick some friends into doing the same. So far it’s actually been kind of cool, but I’m not sure if the novelty will wear off soon or not. Regardless, if you, for some reason, want to know what I’m doing at almost all times, feel free to follow me around via my Twitter. Be warned, updates will rarely make much sense.
