OGame!

On #tycoon yesterday, James Vassie told me about a game he played with loads of other people called OGame where you registered, got your own planet, and had to build things on it and defend it from other attacking planets, while also spying on enemies and attacking them. It's really addictive, and it's in real-time, so it's still working even when you're not logged in!

I am now a part of the #Gung-Ho alliance, ranked #17th in Universe 3's Alliances listings!
Yay!

New PC! Yay!

Finally! My new PC's arrived! Here are the specs:
  • MSI K8M800 Motherboard (VIA Chipset)
  • AMD Sempron64 3400+ CPU
  • 512Mb DDR400 RAM
  • 64Mb integrated graphics
I had to put in my existing HDD (80GB, IDE) and CD/DVD drives (CD-RW, DVD-RW), but that wasn't a problem.

And all for £230!

Now everything is so fast, I can hardly keep up with it! I used to double-click on 'My Computer', wait about 10 seconds, and then see the window slowly render, but now, I double-click and, almost before I've finished clicking, it's there! I am astounded. It's just a pity I couldn't acquire the x64 edition of WinXP, that would be even faster!

Oh, and in response to Sionide's comment, I'm going to install Ubuntu 64bit edition as well!
