spritzer Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Going to go pick up my new Quads later. ESL this time??
Duggeh Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 No the aforementioned 11L from last week, they were delivered to my flat in St Andrews like the day after I paid and none of my housemates thought fit to tell me until last night. I was wondering why I hadn't got them yet. I'm still having PITA problems with this new PC I bought last month. I'm giving thought to sending the whole thing back for refund. That'd free up enough money for a set of 'stats for sure.
laxx Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 You are hereby fined 2 points for comprehension: 1) the activity listed did not occur today. 2) the post better fits the "Last Thing You Bought" theme. Thank you, try again. Yea, but I don't post after work, so I never have anything to post since I do nothing before checking the boards. =[ I should have left out the yesterday part.

grawk Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 drove 4 hrs round trip for 2 hrs of meetings.
gauche Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 I hope you expensed the mileage, the going rate is $0.58 per mile.
grawk Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 nope, i go into the office 2-4 times a month, but it's still the equivalent of going into work.

tkam Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) You won't be using Abit mobo's any longer seeing as they are getting out of the business. I've had extremely good luck with Gigabyte motherboards the past few years and plan to continue using them exclusively. So what I did today, had a few meetings, fixed a few servers and then spent 45min on the phone with Verizon getting them to fix my bill, again. On the plus side I did get my fios upgraded from 15/2 to 20/5. Edited September 9, 2008 by tkam
Duggeh Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 This is the first build in i think 8 PCs that i havent used an Abit board. Only because they dont have a p45 chipset product out.
deepak Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) The Gigabyte EP35-DS3L and EP45-DS3L motherboards seem to be universally praised everywhere. I'm going with the EP45 for my build. i always liked EpOx or ePOx or however they capitalized it, back in the day Yeah they made some great Athlon XP motherboards. Their nforce chipset boards were terrific, my 8RDA allowed me to get an insane overclock on a mobile AXP. Edited September 9, 2008 by deepak

tkam Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Nah honestly Abit boards have been pretty shitty the last 2 years or so and they've been hemorrhaging money due to that and increased competition. So it's not a huge surprise that they are leaving the market.
spritzer Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 I last bought an Abit 4 years ago so I'm not exactly current on this. My next mobo will probably be Intel Atom unit which mated to a touch screen will give me a ghetto Sooloos for a fraction of the price. I'll also be able to use the APL Sony remote to control it which makes life a lot easier. Since it was our favorite Scotsman that sparked this discussion he should know that downtown Reykjavik is like the fucking invasion of the kilts. There is some football game later today and they are everywhere... I don't envy them though since fall has set in up here with temperatures around 8
Contrastique Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 I'm at home floored by the flu. Bloody boring and tiring. Plenty of time listening to hps though If only I would get in the mood for that
Salt Peanuts Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 Went to work early to finish a monthly performance review for one of my teachers, which was followed by a bit hectic workday. Then I administered a monthly performance review to another teacher before calling it a day and actually left work on time.

naamanf Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 At least you know where you stand.
ingwe Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 -=She's=- in the denial stage...eventually -=she'll=- get to acceptance. OB What did I do today: Drank tea, wrote some code, followed/posted in h-c -==- threads, drank more tea.
ChildoftheHorn Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 I don't know how much you are into tea - but Tea Gschwendner makes some lovely varieties. Be careful though - because you could end up buying $100 or more in tea at a time.
