my puter just experienced it’s first ‘ghostly reboot’ yesterday while i was watching an episode of BSG. the first occurence since its return into its semi-modified casing. checked the temperature history and found it well within its normal range (i’ve seen it do constant 67C without any glitches). hopefully it isn’t dying a slow and unknowing death. :O
the original 7800 GS i ordered got cancelled, due to Inno3d not having any more stock. but the same guy managed to hook up with BFG, so i’ll be getting a new version on june 11th. yea, i know i shouldn’t splurge, but the logic behind this purchase is BFG’s True Lifetime Warranty, which replaces the card with the same or better in the event of the fault, irregardless of the product life. so hopefully the card dies after they run out of AGP stock and give me a PCI-Express equivalent instead 😀
anyway, the new card should allow me to play BF2 better. my bigger display lets me catch tiny enemy movements easily, but the major artifacts blurring my vision removes that advantage. oh well, i still managed to get my veteran support combat badge and combat infantry medal. there seems to be a bug where i’m awarded with that same medal each time i start the game, but my stats still show one (if there’s to be a bug, they should make it thorough!). unknowingly, i got myself a navy cross medal as well. a lot of the stats requirements have gone down, but that’s no reason to increase my BF2-playing time with lotsa other things for me to do.
while the new holes in my pc seem to help, i can’t rest until i’ve finished all my planned mods, including some vents on the side panel. i don’t have enough cutting discs to last the project though, so i’ll have to try and find some more. however, that trip to pasar road just ain’t happening.
finally, some episode checkpoints:
Lost S2 E21 – betrayal!
Rome S1 E10 – soft porn!
Battlestar Galactica S2 E05 – not really soft porn!
House MD S2 E04 – starting to get boring!
O.C. S3 E25 – XO
