@AdamLeahey probably drink it and quickly regret it
Dear Internet: What's the absolute cheapest, worst bourbon available? Don't worry, it's for science.
@ConstantineXVI: I'd say Wamu if it existed anymore. It was great when I had them in Cali, free checks and a good web site
@ConstantineXVI: oh, herf derf, just got the "getting shot at" remark :P
@ConstantineXVI: never heard of it... don't know too many people in the military though
@androidcentral: also, the Epic is $199 on Amazon with no rebates, but it's still showing as a "pre-order"
@ConstantineXVI: not sure about the first requirement, but I've yet to be shot at Chase
@ConstantineXVI and if I'm going to start a new series, I'd like to have it all on my Kindle...

So, I broke down and bought a new computer, even though I was planning on waiting for the 32nm refresh of Core i7. What originally started as a CPU upgrade went a little overboard, and I wound up with the … Continue reading
Well, SOMEONE thought it was a good idea
A while ago, I wondered about the possibility of a small, commercially marketed server for home use, and it looks like VIA is going to do that. They haven’t made a desktop application for administering it like I had suggested, … Continue reading
I'm going to try to refrain from buying computers for a while
Core i7 is out, so needless to say I’ve been lurking on Newegg even more than usual lately. As much as I’d love to build the new uber-machine, on some level I realize that I don’t really need it. With … Continue reading
Small, personal web servers
I recently helped my roommate shop for a small, personal web server. We wound up basing it on Intel’s Atom platform, and I was amazed at how cheap it was. The server (pictured above) came up to almost exactly $200, … Continue reading
Just a random update
I feel like typing something… My hard drive came in, and is now hooked up and formatted on Komodo, giving me over a terabyte of storage to work with. I’ve been playing with Chrome, and in fact I’m using it … Continue reading

I got my 8800GT a couple of days ago, and my new Western Digital drive should come in today. I’ve modified my computers page and also added pages for past and future computers. For Nehalem, I’m thinking a Core i7 … Continue reading

Core i7
Intel has announced the branding for their Nehalem processors. Like many others, I was expecting “Core 3″ but apparently it will be called “Core i7.” What that’s supposed to mean, I have no idea, but I’m still looking forward to … Continue reading
Clusterf*ck: Mass Virtualization
Sometime after I get back to Kentucky, I’m thinking of building a server for running virtual machines using VMware Server 2.0. The idea is to virtualize as many of my machines as possible. Virtual servers, in particular, benefit from this … Continue reading
