This awesome creative outburst can be experienced here. No one [...]

In what could best be described as an attempt to pamper myself, I’ve decided to build a computer capable of playing Doom ]|[. And play it, of course. I’ve decided to document some of the stuff along the way. You needn’t be afraid people. It’s just a game.
It all begins with intelligent selection of components. [...]

Once you’ve answered all the trivial life questions: What’s life about? Why are we here? Who am I? Where did we come from? … all that’s left is to answer the only thing that really matters. What kind of a wings do you have? Yes folks, you heard right. The words that follow are quite [...]

Well I have been here for a while, and besides theatrics, the title doesn’t serve too much purpose.
I can’t believe I haven’t written here in so long. Initially it was “work”, then it was laziness, then I apparently became active, well activeer anyway. It’s so hard to get back to this once you realize how [...]

And these are my new glasses. Going with the whole I need everything changed thing, I figured I’d drop the thin metal and go in for a crystal-blue-black shell frame. Sure it looks plain black in the picture, but that’s not the case.

Eitherway, she hates it I suppose. I hear things like “take them off, [...]

I always get asked where my site’s hits come from. So here you go, the past 3 months’ traffic’s ISP information.

Modded by you know who with the GIMP.
