Computer Building Update

Hello my pretties. I thought i would update you with how my computer building is going.

Not so long ago i bought a CPU fan and thermal paste from good old eBay. Oh eBay, what would i do without you? Then a couple of weeks ago i got a processor. Now, the processors i want are generally around £300 for a 3ghz quad core. I managed to get one off Amazon for… an amazing £150. Yep. Half the normal price. I was surprised to find it. so i’ve fitted everything in.

There’s just a couple more parts i want. A better power supply and a graphics card, the ATI Radeon HD 6850, since it has excellent performance for its price. I won’t be getting it this month since i literally have -£1 in my bank, so i’ll get it next month.

I can probably get by with the power supply it has, but i really need the graphics card soon to get it at least functioning. I also want a few more 2gb RAM sticks.

On another note, I’ve been watching a lot of things on Netflix recently. Especially Knight Rider. I hope they bring Airwolf back as well, i used to love that. And my amazing girlfriend Tracey showed me a show called the 4400, so i started watching that as well. It’s freaking awesome. It’s like a mix between Smallville and the X-files (even with new Mulder and Scully types).

And finally, I have now hit over 5000 views on my blog. Good work peeps. Get recommending it to people you know. Share it and stuff. And go read my girlfriend’s blog as well here.

One thing i’ve just noticed is that my previous blog is in the top 5 viewed posts. That’s weird. What did i put in that to make it so popular in such a short amount of time? Maybe i should start putting topless girls in here to make it even more popular.

My stats. 5000 views and latest post becoming popular

54 views in less than 2 weeks. That’s pretty damn impressive, even if i do say so myself. Maybe someone is interested in what i do. Maybe someone is interested in building a computer as well. Maybe my old best friend is showing all her family and friends my post, badmouthing me. That’s what she does. Gets everyone involved.

Anyway, enough about her. I’m off to play some more Battlefield 3. Toodle pip, old chap!

Freaky Friday

So I’ve just found on the android market the official blogger app. I wish i’d known about it sooner. It would have made mobile blogging easier. Not like I would have anyway.
Anyways, what I wanted to tell you about today is a slight but annoying issue I had yesterday.
So for a while I’ve been wanting to exchange my fat ps3 for a slim one. So obviously I backed up all my data from the old one onto an external hard drive, got the slim one, restored my data. And it restored the game saves. But not all of them. Actually most. Except the one I wanted. Deus Ex. It didn’t even restore the games. None of them. As far as I can tell, it’s restored all of my game saves except Deus Ex. That’s all it’s restored.
Whether it’s because it’s on a different console I don’t know. But I really wanted my Deus Ex save. I got really far on it. I do have a game save on there personal cloud that Sony give to PSN users, but it’s several days old. It’s really annoying that that’s the only game save that didn’t back up.
So yeah, that’s what I wanted to rant about. It’s 7.30 am on Saturday morning, I’m at work and I didn’t get much sleep last night, as usual. I never do when I have to be up early for work. That’s annoying.
On a side note, I’ve decided to stop buying Ribena because it has a lot of sugar in it. So I’ve started buying Oasis instead. That has less sugar. And hopefully gets rid of my thirst better. I find all too many drinks don’t make me much less thirsty, they just make my throat wet (that’s what she said).
This is actually turning out to be quite a long blog. At least on my mobile. Obviously on a widescreen monitor it’ll be shorter. But it’s still quite long for one of blogs. I’m just talking crap aren’t i. I’ll shut up
