Damn.

Well the heatsink and fan on the Medion is crap. Barely hangs on. After a bios flash back to its real bios there was still artifacts on the screen. On the other hand the card are blazing hot. So I'm gonna ask the fella that borrowed my x700 heatsink to bring it back to me and we'll see if it is a heat prob or the card really has been fubar.

Ahhh charity.

I just received this in the mail for RM25. Now the agreement I had with the buyer was if I could fix it for him he could not sell it and had to pay me back the money I paid plus postage cost. So the problem with this little fella is that it has artifacts already on Windows login. Declocking the bugger doesn't help so I figure since on the properties readout of the card is said 9800XT instead of Medion 9800xxl the previous owner may have tried to flash the bios to o/c the card.

Of course the main problem isn't whether I can fix it. It is if I do fix it should I keep to my agreement? Ahh let you know later.

Work is never done when there are better things to do.

I gotta finish one review or article today. So it's either gonna be Hearts of Iron 2 Demo or Rise of Legends Demo or building a system for RM3000.

With that pressing down on me I also get emails from my sister containing stuff like

Or Body after 122 Years "These are the pictures of St.Bernadette who died 122 years ago in Lourdes , France and was buried, her body was only discovered 30 years ago after the church officials decided to examine her body. Her body is still fresh until today and if you ever go to Lourdes , France you can see her body in the church in Lourdes Her body does not decay because during her lifetime, the mother of Jesus would always appear to her and give messages and advice to all mankind on the right way to live on this earth. Many miracles have taken place in this place of Lourdes and still do until today.

Don't you love big PC Hardware reviews?

Was reading the review that VR-Zone did on the X-750F http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=3363

It was a pitiful paper thin review that you can read in the toilet and wipe your ass later on it. The fact they only tested it with one game and did not mention the tactile response of the mouse's buttons or the gliding of the mouse's feet shows what a half assed team they got there. Luckily, I was more thorough in my review of the mouse for the NST.

New tricks of the trade, the backpacker way.

I notice an interesting trick that backpackers like to use in Penang to get some spare cash. At first I didn't suspect this was a trick until yesterday I saw some backpacker looking forlorn next to the ATM of my bank. So I thought this looks familar. If he ask me for money after I draw out some I know it's a trick.

Sure enough he did. The trick works like this: the person will sit on his ass looking sad as hell until some goes to an ATM to draw out some cash. Then life strings into him as he quotes, "Could you spare some cash, a friend gave me this bank book but it is for this bank that's in Beach Street (25mins drive from where I am) and I was told that I could come here to draw out the money. But the bank here (RHB Bank) tells me I can only draw out money at the one in Beach Street (yeah faggot cuz they are different banks). Could you lend me RM20 so I can take a taxi back to Komtar and eat something. Then I can go tomorrow (Komtar is the bus centre, it has even a free shuttle service to cater the inner town area where that bank happens to be) to the bank and then I'll pay you back. Just tell me your phone number."

He will then introduce himself and ask your name blah blah. Of course being a Penangnite, to give money from our own wallets is to draw blood from a stone. But none the less I gave him RM10 which the grateful fella replies, "What? Only RM10? I need more than that." Well fuck me. Go and ask to wash the dishes for the hawkers. And don't tell you can't cause in Penang you can't walk more than 5 mins without passing 20 hawkers or 2 coffee shops. Anyway my friend, passes him another RM10 off we go with his parting words, "I'll pay you back when I see around here again.' Of course I replied to him, "I doubt it."

With RM10 you can eat a good meal for RM5-6 or go cheap like Chicken rice for RM3.5. Get a Milo or a Coke for RM1.5 and still get the bus to Komtar for RM1.2. Then walk your lazy ass to whatever hostel you need to go to. Or park yourself on the bus bench.

Masculinity the way we see it.

Shaving is consider one of the forms of Masculinity. Man gets up, he applies on some shaving cream, whips out the old blade and begins to fight back the genes of those damn doity apes.

But really I gotta ask you, in the end of the month who shaves off more hair? A guy or a chick? Seriously, think about. Us with our face hair. Or she with her leg, arm pit, coochie other reigns?
