My question is what his theory is on our team's hardware curse during June?
|
I've offered to build my own rig for daily use at work but they seemed afraid of the fact that I actually knew how to build my own rig. It geek coder terms, I intimidated them with the absurd ability to build the computer I'm working on. Therefore, I'm stuck cruizing a single core w/HT and a lonely stick of memory on a Dell. Redonkeyless. I did manage to aquire a dual monitor GPU and another 19 inch monitor after bitching for a 2 weeks. Still working on a system upgrade.
Hardware curse thoughs:
Up until June, we were on a completely unheard of hardware tear at hwbot. Every piston in the OCAlliance was firing with precision and under high compression for a good 5-6 months. We were averaging 1000 team points a month with contributions from every corner of the team. Under those circumstances somethings gotta give.
It's unforntunate that it seems everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Motherboards, Gulftowns, Fermi's all sunk to the bottom of the pool like obese syncronized swimmers. Lets not forget that F'ng STORK! I got some 40. for that sucker. Summer work, etc. all get in the way.
A little hwbot disparity thrown into the mix with outrageous samples and secretive donkeys pissed on a few parades along with some un-needed drama.
Personally, I feel the team took a well deserved few weeks vacation from the intense grinding but the vacation's over now.

Cost of living is harsh here compared to most mainland communities but if you can find a way, its likely the best place you will ever have resided (if you're not an extreme overclocker).
Our tourist industry strangely remains almost un-effected by the economy, I guess people still got a lil sumtin in their piggy banks for Hawaii.

19inch biceps though rofl!
Reps for a beast!
Another question for you, what was your favorite peice of hardware to bench? Do your friends think your a weirdo when they see your computer and ln2 stuff? |
I cut to 245 a few years ago which was wierd cuz I have big bones from power lifting for so many years. A 405 bench is still very respectable!
especially at a 252 weight mang. Actually thats ballz on strong boy. very nice
. It'll be nice to sit at a contest with you in the future and stretch sleeves for the competitors
