The harsh truth

I’m a nerd. Everyone who visits here should know that. As such, I tinker with everything I have and usually find its limits sooner or later. This is how I have come to appreciate the .Net framework from Microsoft. Honestly, such unity is awesome. It seems rather large and...

Catching up and I’m a moron

A while ago I promised 2 little scripts. Well, one of them is the source of the index file i use for the cardamar mirror (Source Code). Since I wanted a bit of writing to go with it, i’ll just put it in here: the script is reletively simple....

Tales of Simple Overclocking

Anyone who knows me knows that I generally won’t make my computer unstable for any reason. This doesn’t mean I won’t help another person do it. The following is our little adventure with an AMD Athlon X2 3800+ (Stock 2.0 GHz) on an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe. As usual, try...

Operating Systems

While doing other things, I frequently enjoy playing with operating systems. My latest trial was with Arch Linux. I was trying to get this set up on my laptop. It seemed like a reasonable request. Installation was annoying. It failed half way through installing the packages the first time....
