Good news bad news

================================================================================

wow, today has been fun.. well, kinda…

my PC hardware arrived for my new PC..

* amd2200+ cpu
* 512mb ram
* asus asrock motherboard
* dvd drive
* q-tec case
  (black with a side window, and a whole collection of LED’s to play with :D)

so, it all arrived, and i put it together.. sucker took an hour and a half to
put together, and if it works.. i will be happy. see, i can’t actually use it
yet.. as i said, it all arrived.. but one thing didn’t.. the heatsinc and cooler
for my cpu.. so, unless i want to, in the simplest explanation, kill my cpu..
well, i cant use it yet :(

kinda sad really :(

i’ve waited three weeks longer than i should have for my order, it arrives.. i
get all excited, build it, its nice and stuff.. and i can’t use it :|

site update:

last night, as i said i would, i added the “about me” page.. i have still yet to
finish the portfolio portion of my site.. i planned on releasing it tomorrow..
but i can’t see myself having it done.. i havent touched the code for a few
days.

i noticed a bug in the php for this portion of the site.. whenever i post an
entry, it reads the time from the server… this is a problem, because the server
is located in canada.. i think (6 hours minus my time zone) and i’m located in
england.. so this entry time may say “17:30” but, infact its more like “23:30”
my time..

.. if i decide not to finish the portfolio tomorrow, then i will work on the
code for the time on this.

school

good news.. i got a B on one of my math exams.. meh, it’ll do for me :)
