New Pc

, , , ...

i've decided to build a new pc and this one will be much better than the last! First off Nvidia Surround is a must. Which means 3 monitors and 2 gpus. processor? Most likely something from the new sandybridge cpu range. i7 2500k perhaps. Unsure on the watercooling of the cpu as of yet. The 2 planned gpus are 2 Nvidia GTX580s. The case i am thinking of doing a custom build. Perhaps a glass case? A bit stupid yeah... But how awesome would it be! Haven't decided on motherboard or ram yet. 6gb of dominator? hmmmm we'll wait and see eh?
snooooooow!

5 Minute Management Course

5 Minute Management Course

Lesson 1 :

A priest offered a Nun a lift...

She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

The priest nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.....

The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest apologized 'Sorry sister, but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.



Lesson 2 :

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'


'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk.. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world..' Poof! She's gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas, and the love of my life.' Poof! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.



Lesson 3

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 4

A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'


'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. It's full of nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch..

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there...




Lesson 5

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. ..


Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Long Time?


So its been a while since I last did a post (of note). What's been happening with me? Well first off I got engaged on the 25th May to the most amazing woman in the world. The single most amazing person I know whose name is Faiza Rani. She's funny, smart, damned good looking and to top it off she makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!
I never considered myself to be the romantic type but with Faiza around I feel lost. But i'll live! I've got one more nephew too with another possible niece or nephew on the way! The tally should hit 22 nieces and nephews.... 1 for every year i've been alive eek!

The Square Root of Three

, , , ...

I dedicate this to my Faiza Rani

The Square Root of 3 by Dave Feinberg

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

A three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When, arc! Just what is this I see,
Another square root of a three

Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed

Opera Mobile

i'm not impressed by opera mobile 10. I've found too many websites where it refuses to log me in and its instability (eg closing down when the screen rotates using the accelerometer). It has plenty of potential but as it is right now, on my sony ericsson satio, its pretty much useless

What a TUUUUUUNE!




How 80's is this song!

My Objectives for Today

As its easter weekend i will be hammering fallout 3 on the pc. I've gotten quite far playing as an evil character (whats the highest 'rank' of evil you can get?) And i want to transfer my save game from my laptop to my pc. I'll post some screenshots later on in the day lol am at work at the moment. But once i finish, fallout3 here i come!
