Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

The other day, chatting with Harita for a long 1-1/2hrs, digging into the past, reviewing my sins (yea well.. some consider acquiring bandwidth a sin!), I started thinking about 'me'. For a second I assumed "I am very dangerous" (computers wise). Erm, thats what I felt first, considering what I am capable of. But, thinking deeper I reaized, I am just a n00bie (newbie)! and that there are hundreds of thousands who are 1337er (elite) and millions on the same level as me. I'm such a n00b that I dont even know what the elite are capable of and I never had crimial intentions of any kind. So, in conclusion I am as safe as a firefly :D.

Right now I'm extemely Happy!! guess why! I am writing this post from teh 'monster'!! YES! Its finally awake! Its been 4 weeks since I de-commissioned it. Its still not at its full potential though, only 512megs of RAM (1 gig originally) and 160Gigs HDDs (480gigs stock capacity). I finally can enjoy some kick ass games now. Its been 16hrs since it started and it showed no signs of fatigue, no hardware issues, especially the hard disks. I hope it stays the same till I get a new PSU (SMPS). The problem what I figured out was that the power cables were so fuxed that the hdds turned on and off randomly. But now thanks to Gigabyte, their cables seem to be working fine :).

Just started NFS: Most Wanted, cool game, excellent graphics. Shadows seem pixellated though. The bloom effect, aka Extra bright effect looks really cool. The glare, timeshift, police chases everythign add to the beauty of the game. I am gonna finish it in these holidays!

Have some friends coming over, so have to end it here for now.
And btw, the title has nothin to do with the post, hhmmm wait.. may be it does.. I don know figure it out :P.
