Just put a new stereo in my car, here are the specs for those interested in such things:

• Head unit: Alpine CDA-7949e
• Amplifier: Alpine MRV-F457
• Amplifier: Alpine MRV-T757
• Speakers: Boston Rally 6″ component speakers (x2)
• Speakers: Boston Rally 10″ subwoofers (x2)
• A crapload of cable and wood

I already owned the head unit but the rest is all new.

I’ve got my new car, feels a bit different driving such a big-arse car now (go the big-arse Fords!).

Sure guzzles through the petrol, too! Aiee - think I may extend my bank loan to pay for all the petrol.

Well, in the past few weeks, Justine has quit her job (I didn’t agree until she told me they were making her do split-shifts, ick). She also has a new car, you can view a picture in the “photos” section.

I should be getting my own new car sometime this or next week. Nearly time to retire the old car, rest it’s soul (I actually think it died quite a while ago, it’s been zombie-fied since).

Update: Due to some stuff-ups (one my fault and the other the banks) I won’t get my new (second hand) car this week, but should be getting it (very) early next week.

Stephan! It’s Stephan’s 24th birthday.

You old man, you.

I’ve changed the news to be read from the new database system rather than the old system which wasn’t being updated.

A few people were asking me where the updates had been going (a few more than expected), well, they were going into the database! As you can see, the past month or so I have been updating, you just couldn’t see it.

And no, the first phase wasn’t, “collect underpants.”

I’ve decided that my computer dying is a great reason to upgrade to a new one!

Here are the specs for those interested:

• AMD Athlon 1200MHz (200MHz FSB) (image)
• GlobalWin FOP32-1 CPU cooler (image)
• Abit KT7A motherboard (image)
• Hyundai HY57V28820AT-H PC133 CAS3 7.5ns SDRAM (x2) (no image)
• ASUS GeForce MX V7100/T (image)
• Tekram DC-315U SCSI adapter (image)
• Sound Blaster Live! Value (image)
• Quantum Fireball Plus AS 40GB (Ultra ATA-100, 7200 RPM) (image)
• Sony CRX145S CD-RW (image)
• Pioneer DVD-116 DVD-ROM (image)
• Startech FANBOX2 fans (x2) (image)
• Omni 6101-HA case (image)

Just need to get a new network card and monitor, they can wait a little while if necessary.

It’s great to have such a fast computer again (this one is 4+ times faster in almost every way)!!!

Well, my computer’s had it. I don’t know what happened but it’s definitely decided it can’t be bothered working for a while (in true bludger.org tradition ;).

It’s probably not going to be too hard to fix but we’ll see.

All I know is that the keyboard doesn’t work, and when you plug mine in it reboots (doesn’t with other keyboards but it still doesn’t work).
