I think I grossly overestimated the performance of this VIA EPIA-SP8000E mainboard. It gets a 3DMark03 score of 37. Yes, a whole 37. For comparison, a half-way decent score for a modern PC is at least 10000. Yes, all those zeros. This is going to be an interesting demo… Marker: “So, does it run Halo?”.Me:… Read more
For those who are interested, you can download pdf’s of by the thesis and literature review from the file sharing area of my site, here. They’re both rather big. Sorry.

I think one of my callings might be a race car driver, or somesuch. Put me in anything with wheels and you’ll be eating my dust. Which of course is a problem, when it comes to getting a license. Car goes forward. Car doesn’t stop. Not natural. ;) Gah, it’s going to be a disaster.… Read more
I tried, I really tried… *sob* I just can’t do it; I can’t install Gentoo. It’s an evil fiend. I’m sure it’s actually impossible to install it – even if you do surmount all it’s challenges, months later when it’s finished compiling, I’m sure there’s a “boss” error… “Gentoo installation is finished.
