Random updates
My new CPU and motherboard finally arrived, and after a few minor troubles, everything is working fine. I just have to reinstall Windows properly and get things set up again. And I can’t use my old parts until I get a new case, because my spare ATX case seems to be broken.
But enough about computer stuff, which seems to have been most of what I’ve been posting about lately. I guess that’s just because there hasn’t been much else going on.
I’ve still been working lots, getting overtime when I can, even extra shifts. It’s been useful this month, because of our local poll tax being taken out of my cheques ($175/yr, I didn’t pay it by the deadline back in August, I’ll try to next year).
And school is still going well. I have another test on November 3, and I asked for the night before off, instead of whatever other night I’d have off then. I have to register for classes on November 25 for next semester. I was thinking about taking three, but I’ll stick with my original plan and take just two. Ease back into things. And take three courses a semester starting in September.
Hopefully things will work out well money-wise, too. I applied for interest relief on my student loan, since I should still qualify for it. That’ll let me save money for school more easily. And when I’m taking three courses, I’ll be a full-time student so I won’t have to make loan payments then anyway.
One last thing about computers: BitComet is a kickass bittorrent client! I was using BitTornado for a while, but when you have 15 windows open, it really eats up your available memory and CPU.
