HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANK (25) and GENO (28)! actually hanks was yesterday. rumors spreading that those brand spanking new rivatnt's and supersocket7 motherboards aren't very amiable. heck i was gonna wait for the canopus board anyway... those lego mindstorm robothingies are out now at some participating learningsmiths. ~200 bucks for the base set (700+ pieces) pretty kool.

work is so fun. my life is a soap opera. i still dont have my tnt yet.
08.27.98
well i reversed the layout so recent stuff is up first (thanks pete) my office is still a mess... isn't that a sign of genius or just messiness? we got real granola bars in the vending machines... (hey its the little things)
08.26.98
been rather busy with work related stuff. i bought pagemill 3.0 but all i've done is install it... rivatnt is due out anyday now... can't wait, my $35 bargain basement agp card is driving me up a wall... nEED 3d aCcelerAtIOn... the benchmarks are still not done, but i can say that the k6-2/300 is a real screamer especially for the price... i have experienced a few crashes every now and again but i think its the programs im running not the chip. i need to get some fast sdram i don't think the 100mhz bus agrees too well with the edo memory.

still havn't finished setting up and benchmarking the k2/300 - still debating whether or not to use it as a game machine or as a standalone server... been looking to get some fancy schmancy web design program - frames are such a pain in the @#$ to do with notepad...
downloads:

picked up a k2-300 to mess around with - havn't done much with it yet, but i can say that it's SIGNIFICANTLY faster than my 200mmx. not that my
200mmx was all the fast to begin with... it is a remarkable jump in performance.. i can't believe it's a socket7!
