New Years Eve...
Of sorts anyway.
Well, it's finally turning colder out, and I'm not complaining. Yes, I do like the warmer weather, but nothing to hot or humid. However, Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I like weather, I like the scenery change, the colors and all that.
Besides that, there really isn't much new to report on. I wish there was, but my life is most un-interesting.
That said, I did manage to get a crude, yet efective enough, hole cut in the front of my big case to mount a 120mm fan, and once I get another 120mm, I will attemp the same in the back. To go with the new fan mount, I drilled out the fake holes at the bottom of the plastic front of the case, and measured out thier spacing and continued them up the case for 6 or 7 inches for much increased airflow. Also hacksawed out a couple openings on the sides of that front bezel as well.
In my seemingly too-present free time these days, I have now been playing alot of GTR. GTR is a (in my opinion) a highly realistic, graphically impressive modern racing simulator. However, not being satisfied, I had to download add-ons to the game. I searched out more tracks and cars, most wanted was the BMW M3. The game comes with the Z3M, but that's not quite the same.
It's a challenging, addictive (to me), and frustrating. Granted, I am using the highest diffculty, but I find that I still turn laps sometimes at 5-10 seconds slower than other cars of the same class. Braking later going into, or going faster through, a corner just results in my car sliding off the track.
Anyhow, thus ends another worthless post. Hopefully sometime I can actually post something.
