Oh yeah, I need another job lol, might as well earn some dosh while I have free time.

I r 20 today, but I’m not in a celebrating mood, this month has been completely shit, starting with the murder of my bro-in-law and ending with today when I thought my car tires had been slashes. Some chavs it seems went on a slashing spree. Luckily my car was not on the road where they did they slashing, but my neighbors weren’t so lucky, all 4 tires of their car was slashed.

Got my insurance done, thanks god for Pass Plus, saved me a nice £200 There are some pics of the car the seller took for me, you can find them here, I might take some pics after I cleaned it up a bit lol.

It did clear up a lot of things though, like whose side Snape was on, and the truth about the scar, and what the final Horcrux is.

After I finished reading it, I checked a few spoiler sites, and after reading some, I finally got to appreciated the subtle hints J.K put in all the previous books, things I didn’t even realize that could mean a lot more then meets the eye, the lack of a word in a sentence which could have a double meaning to it, like Dumbledore saying “please…” to Snape on the tower instead of “please don’t”….., and his body rising before falling to his death

Kinda sad for it all to finish

Firstly, I passed my first year exams, but the results of still preliminary, they have to be confirmed by the uni board. Hopefully, the results’ll stay the same, or lean in my favor. I managed a borderline pass, passing 6/8 modules, the minimum required amount for a pass

I was really worried about my results, I hardly did any revision. I got an A in Web Tech (web programming lol), but the rest I got between B and E

Secondly, I *finally* got a new PC . The old one (a P4 Prescott ) was annoying the hell out of me with the constant problems it gave me. Once I’d fixed a problem with it, a new one would pop up. The last straw for me was when it decided it didn’t wanna work with my new power supply, I went onto OCuK, and ordered some new parts

Specs:

• Intel C2D E6600 2.40Ghz
• Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R Mobo
• Corsair 2×1GB DDR2 RAM
• BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC 256MB PCIe
• Seagate 160GB SATAII HD
• Asus DRW-1814BLT DVD RW (x2)
• Antec P182 Case

A total of £550 (out of my saving up to buy a car fund ).

This isn’t exactly a top spec machine, but it’ll do for me It’s also sooooo much more quieter then the old pc, even during stress testing, it hardly makes any noise.

But I almost screwed it up when building it, I didn’t realize the heatsink pin for the Northbridge chip had come loose, and it kept crashing when doing stress testing. I was almost ready to RMA the bits when I noticed. Luckily, I found the pieces for the heatsink and managed to fix it again. (whoo, go me)
