arggghh!
scratch my fun with linux… upon reboot my sound card drivers puked yet again… and this time regardless of what I do I can’t seem to get them to work again… which is just a bit frustrating… i like my audio feedback stuff!!
/me sighs.
well…
I’ve not written much lately… I’ve installed this neat function called Liquid into my KDE install which has provided very nice transparency on menus and such in addition to somehow speeding things up; this morning I installed the newest stable version of KDE, 2.2.2, which is also quite a great deal faster than the previous verision 2.2.1 that I had, rather amazing actually.
it’s been a while since I posted any dreams, oops.
This is a short one… just dreamed about having custom contact lenses, where they were all white except this light blue blob in the center, rather interesting… I remember I had trouble getting one of them in, lol. ;) I also think I was showing davey.
i found myself describing myself as “rip hair out” bored this morning…
restless, definitely… having things I //could// be doing but not doing them…
lulling away time until the news by reading case mod sites and info over at bme… now the news is on, hours later… and I know exactly what I want…
…I want the one series of moments that I can’t really actually enjoy at this moment….
I want to go over to that bed and snuggle up with davey, that’s the elusive desire, more pronounced this particular morning for reasons unknown to me.
Interestingly enough, as I was attempting to go to sleep earlier, I had this fleeting thought of seeing Davey, it nearly killed all desire to //waste// money modifying my computer case… thinking two things… that I should a) save that money for my laptop and b) leaving me for more money to spend with davey, visiting him, etc… I cannot take “vacations” from work, I do not have a laptop, though if I absolutely needed to I could likely borrow my bro’s girlfriend’s OLD 133mhz one… but, hmm, ibook, not terrifically expensive, provides me with mobility I desire, and the DVD quotient would add some nice movie watching capability whilst with him.
ANyway… it’s interesting… after a few moments, any //wild// idea becomes put into check, with the realization of my real priorities… they used to be to move back to pittsburgh… now… though still important… my first priority is to spend time with davey, because I want to, and… regardless of the length of time, there would undoubtedly be so much emotional fulfillment in that experience, it would transcend any of the minor desires to be elsewhere right now.
Anyway… wanting to be with davey is a very intense core desire… rather interesting… it’s very different from anything else I can remember experiencing… there’s no doubts about it… …I love him and I know he loves me.
I’ve been really interested lately in case mods… Almost to the point of wanting to buy another case so that I can modify it, tweak it out, and then move the contents of this computer into it…. that way I don’t have to do without a computer for a few days while I cut holes in it and such, lol. :)
I really want to do some windows, get some neon lighting, new fans, neat laser cut fan covers, and some rounded cables. Actually, I guess I can do almost everything with the computer’s “insides” still all together, since all parts of the case come off… I just wanted to get the inside finish of the case a “matte black” instead of the raw steel.
It’s likely to be an expensive undertaking of course… so I’d probably not be doing it for quite a while… but it’d still be cool… I particularly want to paint the case to get rid of that ordinary beige ugliness. I just want to make sure a good job is done, lol, nothing would be worse than making it uglier from paint running or something similar. The most expensive parts are the lighting and the rounded cables, to get enough rounded cables it’s almost 50 bucks.
The other thing I was thinking though… while I am at it… would be to install this sound deadening stuff on the case panels… I really need to replace the power supply fan because it has grown noisy… but since I want to change around some of the fans and such, the sound insulation might prove to be very helpful, and it’s also this interesting black colour…. I just wonder if it would increase the heat at all… and I have no clue how much it costs either, lol, or how well it would interact with the windowing.
I’ll post some photos later in an organized way probably… but for now you can check out http://www.indiboi.com/temp/casemods/ and look at some of those pics.
