Halimaw (monster)… the name I gave my desktop computer. I seldom address it as such since its size is the only constant thing that justifies the monicker.
Well, I’ve just upgraded my PC. It was a long overdue upgrade, but the thing that sent me over the edge was my itch to play Bioshock. And as of this moment, I can once again call it a monster of a PC with pride 😉
Looking back at my life, it’s quite amusing how my [computer] setup has evolved over time. I recall the days when I was only using a plain vanilla PC with a graphics card just enough to play games at their lowest settings, a 15″ CRT monitor, etc. etc. – I guess it just shows how much of a geek I am.
Getting my first job after college, Nono and I (or was it just only me) cashed in our computer loans and I got a relatively good computer, of course still with the beige chassis, but at least with a whopping 17″ (which was big at that time). Of course along the course of my life, I was given the opportunity to save up (whether from jobs or rackets) and finally indulge in some personal “luxuries.”
I’ve been posting pictures of the new stuff in my Gallery and Flickr accounts, but really had no chance to “talk” about them – so I guess this post would be the perfect opportunity to do so.
When’s the last time we had some WebNews? Thanks to NetNewsWire‘s post to blog attribution mechanism, It’s now easy to take in what I usually see around the net and post directly here to my blog.
