PC Heaven to PC Hell

All was going well with my computer until I thought the time came to upgrade my graphics card. Fairly straight forward I thought, apparently not.

I was going to go for a top of the range one, as I thought why not, plus it would last longer. Then I find that computers come with different power supplies units and mine wouldn't be strong enough, bugger. Then I find out you can get new ones with more power, sorted.....apparently not. I have a Dell, which I thought was a good make...... apparently not. Yes those bastards at Dell use a lot of bespoke kit so you cant easily upgrade your computer with non Dell parts, so a new PSU wouldn't fit, arse. So I have had to buy a cheaper graphics card that is rather rapidly becoming obsolete in the wake of games like Doom 3.

So next time I get a computer I'm going to build the bugger myself.

I'm Here!!!

Finally after having a computer for about 5 years i have managed to create somthing for myself, took me long enough. Lets hope I manage to keep this regularly updated with the drivel that is my life, and maybe a few photos along the way as well. Don't worry more to come soon, not that you are worring of course.

Well finally another post here after over 6 months absence, so much has happened and has been a busy week last week. Cinema, park, BBQ, Kings of Leon gig, tennis, golf i'm fecking knackered. Also thought i would post a photo i took today, i was experimenting trying to take a photo of a water droplet. Seeing as i did this on my lunch break from work, and i didn't have much time, i'm quite proud of this one.

Gadgets a Go-Go

Well my new A/V setup is coming along now with my fairly new HDTV, which is really good with my 360 and certainly makes a difference when playing, and i have just got an upscaling DVD recorder to make the most of the new TV. All i need now is the new surround sound set up, which i think will wait until after we have moved, or should i say if? Also got a new monitor for my PC as my old on was on its last legs and i though i had better get it while i still have some money. Well at least things do appear to moving along a bit now as we are seeing the solicitor on Friday as having a nightmare trying to get hold of him and reply to any of my emails. So hopefully after tomorrow it will look a bit more like it is all going to work out in time. Would certainly be good to get in before Christmas and get a few things sorted, and i also may need to call upon the help of my dad especially if we have short notice on moving in. Plus we will need some help with decorating. Fingers crossed
