Checksum Arcanius

o.O

Among everything else, I decided (or was roped into, depending on your perspective) being the campaign manager for my Bioengineering friend Jason Padvorac. Together, we arrived at the name “VisionUW” to describe what he is hoping to accomplish with his run.

A little sneak peak at the branding we came up with:

Four hours two nights ago followed by about one hour from 9:30-10:30 today really wasn’t enough; fortunately I had some reserves stored up from earlier in the week. On the other hand, I did finish the homework due today as well as made my first useful contribution on the robotics capstone project, which is a good feeling.

Tonight I’ll be getting a full night’s sleep in preparation for an interview at Microsoft in about 9 hours.

Its pretty ugly right now, but I needed to change something.

Four and a half years, four servers, three jobs, two schools, and one small sampling of a life.

Today, Checksum Arcanius celebrates its 1,000th post.

Well, at lease one of those is done for 2008

Now with a replaced 2gb memory module, the new computer is finally complete. The rather impressive specifications:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 @ 3.0 GHz
Memory: 2×2 GB Patriot DDR2 PC64800 DIMMs (Dual Channel configuartion)
Graphics: XFX NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB Alpha Dog Edition
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R
Hard Disk: 2×1 TB Maxtor 7200 rpm 32MB cache
Optical Drive: Pioneer 18×18 SATA Dual Layer/Dual Format DVD/CD Reader/Writer
Power Supply: Corsair CMPSU-520HX 520 Watt (Modular)
Case: Antec Nine Hundred

Of course, all of this requires a good name. It just so happens that during the last round of name-searching for my laptop, which is now known as Graphitica, another good name came up, which was totally appropriate for this new computer. I present to you, BlackOrchid.
