My CPU is overclocked to 3.7 GHz from 2.67 GHz stock. Seems stable and temps are good…but more testing to do. #
The overclocking settings I mentioned yesterday ended up proving to be unstable after about [...]

Overclocking my i7 920 on an evga x58 SLI motherboard
For the last few days, I’ve been playing with overclocking my computer. Now, I think I’ve found stable settings that will boost my CPU from the stock speed of 2.67 GHz to 3.84 GHz. These settings were stable for 7 hours of overnight Prime95 testing, so they are looking pretty good.
(Prime95 is a program [...]

八時間後にオバマ様は大統領になるぞ！ #

George W. Bush must be uncomfortable listening to this speech. #

Obama’s Inauguration
I set my alarm to 1:30 a.m. so I could get up to see the inauguration. Although I was watching in the middle of the night from half-way around the world via a grainy internet video stream, it was nonetheless quite moving to see Obama sworn-in as president.
I thought his speech was very good [...]
Bush = Truman: Last Push for Conservo Talking Points!
Now that Bush is fading off into the sunset, his few remaining supporters and some conservatives that want to whitewash the Bush years by saying “history will judge” are putting on their final full-court press that Bush=Truman.
Of course, it may be a comforting notion, despite being rejected by your contemporaries, that history will judge you [...]
Inauguration
The inauguration is already here…it seemed at times that the transition was taking forever, but now it seems that the inauguration is here so suddenly. After Obama won, the three months of transition seemed like ages. And the Bush team’s continuing incompetence and lame duck status just made it seem all the longer. But I [...]
More Computer Pics
Here are some pictures of my new computer, its components, and a few pics of it being put together. So far it seems to be working well.
