decisions

By the end of the year or maybe January, i'll want to gratify myself with spending. I've been torn, though, between a new pc--with the loss of the old one--and a dslr.

I guess a new pc would be more practical. I've spent some time looking up specs and prices. I went through history lessons to learn the advantage trend. I'm set on an ati radeon gpu but it's classic intel vs amd. With a “unit 03” theme in mind, i'd either go for an x3 or a 3 ghz core 2. It took quite some time but it seems that intel core wins. There goes the ferrari mark.

I could choose a pentium dual core but i'd need a core 2 for it to be worth the purchase. A quad core is out of the question.

I'm actually biased on the phenom given i'm already set to get a radeon. Platforming has its advantages. I was thinking of a spider platform minus the 4th core with an x3. Only, there’re too little good reviews on the phenom x3 or even the x4 and the cpu is a great factor.

If i were to buy a pc then, then i'd go for an intel-ati combo. It's what we have now on the XXXG-01D, both companies have the current performance crowns, it's more democratic since it isn’t platform based, and i like the red and blue color combo.

If a replacement for the TestType would be needed, and not essentially a new one for the sake of having a new one, it'd be either a budget x3 amd platform desktop or an intel laptop. And i'd sell the idea to my father instead. Haha. Oh, maybe a Pentium dual-core based budget pc as a 01 replacement. But as i said, i'd rather have my father buy that.

So it seems i've come to a conclusion: i'll be saving up for a dslr. Yes, a new pc is more practical but that's it exactly. I'll leave practicallity to my parents. And besides, a new pc would be phased out too soon and i'd want a new one. There goes practicality. The XXXG-01D will do for the next 2 yrs as the TestType did for some time. Maybe i'll get an hd3650 for the upcoming titles and finally find the ddr2-533 cards I’ve been looking for.

Besides, I’ve given this pc until the release of windows 7. maybe the dlsr choice is just me. It isn’t the obvious practical choice but it’s a bit more timeless.

Oh, and a new pc would mean an lcd monitor and I wouldn’t want to go against my biases against it. Haha.

* I started this entry typing on my cellphone to drain the battery. The battery died and so did the paused ppg game. Apparently, what I’ve believed for so long is true—that I’m meant to use the keyboard.

digital getbacker

panalo yung GetDataBack na program. good as worthless lahat ng sinabi ni domeng tungkol sa file security. di ko in-expect na ngayon ako mamalasin sa partition operation gamit ang partition magic. medyo delikado pala ang merge o baka nagkataon lang. di ma-access yung mga file sa "merge folder."

buti nakahanap kaagad ako ng solusyon gamit ang yahoo search at ang torrentz search. hehe.

ayun, nung na-access ko na. kinopya ko na lang yung laman ng dating Z Drive sa bagong Z Drive. di ko pa rin ma-delete. siguro nakuha sa defrag, nabura ko na halos lahat. dalawang file na lang ang di mabura ngayon:

"Z\jomic\My Pictures\psd\Lica scans.psd"
"z\pebuilder3110a\BartPE\I386\SETUPLDR.bin"

interesting. nasa folder x na sila, naghihintay mabura.

medyo matagal pala yung acronis backup. iba-backup ko sana yung drive minus inaccessible folders, re-reformat yung partition, at ibabalik. buti medyo gumana na yung pagbura pagka-defrag. pero medyo lang.

aliw. kakasabi pa naman sa akin ni adette kagabi, bago ko malamang corrupted yung files, na "hindi talaga nabubura yung files. inaalis lang yung pointers."

yebah. medyo mas malapit na ako sa pagiging digital retrieval specialist. parang specialist specialization. hehe.

susunod sa aking after eXPerience vista, (pagkatapos ng post na ito, actually) migration naman sa windows mail. medyo tatlong araw na akong hindi nakaka-download ng email. huling beses ata noong july 22. 23 ako nag-install. tamang-tama, tugma yung date ng migration.

ultimate

maganda rin ang nabasa ko tungkol sa vista. partida, xp fanboy ako. pero look forward nga naman. na-realize ko rin na mas konti naman na ang panget tungkol sa vista kaysa maganda. pinakamalaki na sigurong kapangitan ay yung hardware requirements at yung game and program compatibility na panalo sa xp noong ni-release siya noon. otherwise, kung anong kinaganda ng windows 95 kumpara sa 3.1, parang ganun din ang vista.

mula kagabi, na-reassure ang positive thoughts ko sa vista. hehe.

paalam testtype

eva was supposed to live forever. tila hindi kinaya ng mobo. 8 years. ang
naaalala ko, may noong huling ginamit at noong huling beses na nakarinig ako
ng error beep.

na-confirm na sa text ni tito rey noon umaga. isang museum piece na naman sa
bahay ito. ibabalik niya bukas ang unit.

pinag-iisipan ko pa rin kung bibili ako ng pentium e based computer para
pamalit, para may unit 01 pa rin pero ewan ko lang. bahala na.

69 nodes

ayos. pag may mine-merge akong nodes, pag may 69 sa isa, yun yung
importante. hehe.

5:33 na at medyo bored na ako pero medyo motivated dahil patapos na ako
talaga. sana. kasi medyo isang buwan na ata akong patapos sa ginagawa kong
ito.
