yesterday's workout
yesterday i had a site walk @ 9am in Litchfield...although I thought it was in Windham. ugh. luckly, i realized this before i left. however, i forgot my winter boots, so had to detour back to my pad to pick 'em up. Well, i should have got gas 2 days go..then i should have filled up on the way to work... ok, im really pushing it... i MUST fill up at the next station... nope. for some reason, i thought i could make it a bit further. i was running late & didnt want to be later. ugh.
so im at a stop light on Route 3A (manchester's equivilent of Storrow Drive - 2 lanes, fast, no place to pull over). car stales. wont start. ugh.
yeah, this is gonna be messy... put the flashers on, and start pushing. i make it thru the first hurdle.. then hit a red light. i decide to run it.. yeah. still pushing.. then this HUGE burst of cars comes flying by me... people dont expect a stopped car in the road when they are going 50mph. and there is no place for me to pull over. i keep pushing untill i get to a parking lot. i try to get it in there, but hit a snow bank instead. ugh. now i gotta back my car up (into traffic). yeah, finally did that. parked it in a restricted area. then i got my morning run in to the nearest station. then run back. ugh. spilled it all over me. damn.
yeah, so i finally got to my meeting.
today i finished the last part of ordering all my computer components. this is going to be one bad mofo of a computer ;) everything should be here next week.. then ill start building it. general stuff:
Intel E6600 Core2Duo (should be overclocked to 3.6ghz)
Intel XBX2 mobo
OCZ RAM 800mhz
OCZ 700w power supply
PNY Nvidia 8800 GTS (waaay overkill, but me likey)
2 Raptors in RAID
1 WD for storage.
24" HD monitor :) aww yeah.

Oh Man, running out of gas is the worst. That happened to me once in the Audi, years ago, heading home from a concert at the Elvis Room, when I was living in Durham, I ran out right by Wagon Hill, and had to hike to a house at like midnight and wake up these poor old folks who were totally afraid of me wearing black boots, black jeans, black shirt, black jacket. lol! They probably thought I was a thug!
24HD monitor! That's awesome...are you going to run cable TV through it for a faux tivo?
