…on Sunday Jac did loads of gardening – she was out there for HOURS – while I stayed indoors and worked on my old abandoned Socket A AMD Athlon computer (the predecessor to my current AMD X2 3800+), a 1000 MHz Thunderbird – yeah THAT old… and slow. I’ve been meaning to resurrect it and […]
Here are a couple of pictures of the new passive heatsink. Right now besides the pc case fans, I’ve got a desk fan pointed straight at the side of the pc blowing air through the side vent, and another fan at the front of the pc, blowing air into the intake holes. It’s been pretty […]
I finally had to sort out my motherboard’s stupid chipset fan. I wrote recently about how it stopped completely. I also mentioned that I was seriously thinking about replacing it completely. In the past few weeks, it had begun to make loud, horrible noises (just like the original fan did), and it also started speeding […]
I’m typing this short note on my laptop. I’ve had more dramas with that stupid, useless replacement motherboard chipset fan. Tomorrow, I shall be once again disassembling my computer and cursing a lot. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. So sorry, no food pics just yet.
While we were out today, we had a hankering for sushi. We got a Deluxe Nigiri Sushi Pack to share. I’m not a raw fish fan, and so Jac ate all the seafoody ones. I ate the inari (stuffed beancurd skin) and the tamago (omelette) . We also shared this pack of chicken sushi. It […]

I mentioned in one of the previous posts that my crappy Microsoft basic optical mouse will be replaced by something. I’m very excited about this! It’s definitely another jackdaw thing. Read more [&h…
I think it’s very interesting that among the most popular photos at my Flickr site are pictures of my desk at uni. As I was taking pictures of the new speakers I thought you might like to have a tour of my desk at home. 1. and 2. are my front speakers, of course. And […]
Some people do comfort food. Me, I comfort shop. Not that I’m particularly upset that Jac will be away for so long (as I’ve said, I do miss her already, but it’s not really that big a deal), … but any excuse to treat myself! Well, as you all know, I got myself some new […]
Today, M, L and I went to Yoko’s for lunch again. M and L had the sashimi bento set (AU $16.90). From the menu: “Sliced ocean fresh raw salmon, karaage, mixed crumbed prawn, fish and veges and fresh salad served with steamed rice”. The crumbed goodies were covered with that yummy ‘baby’ mayonaise, and the […]
