LinuxQuestions.org - On a personal note...

On a personal note... This is my diary of what I deal with. Mostly, it'll be about the choices I make, and how I make them. You'll see what things matter to me not necessarily related to Linux.

Put your money where your mouth is...

I'm not preaching to anyone here. I'm simply opening a discussion about the extent we each personally invest in the privilege of running Linux.

Due to the fact that I overclock my processor (although mildly), I am the member of a number of forums dedicated to the quest for ever higher performance from the processors we (overclockers) run. And the one thing that I personally admire about many of those users, is the amount of (large sums of) money they tend to invest in their machines....

Board Room: 16.2"x13" space required..

This won't be my first four-socket motherboard. But the first didn't come any where close to the...

Recently, I had one of those "life's getting in the way" moments. In fact, it was the whole day. It left me very disturbed with the outcome of a project I had hoped to have finished and presently running. But things didn't turn out that way, and I wrote one of my friends ranting about my current misery.

Now mind you, this is someone who has known for about 20 years now. In fact, he says he knew me longer than that. We just hadn't formed a friendship until years after our being...
