After suffering while trying to build a new PC I finally did it!
So here's the thing. My original plan was to replace my processor, but my computer was old. This turns into having to buy a new motherboard. Turns out that I can't use my RAM and my DVD Drive due to it having one IDE slot; I also couldn't turn it on due to my case being from HP... and old. Then I bought new RAM (unveliebably cheap) and a new case. I wrapped up my DVD drive with my HDD and viola! A new computer!
And I must say... I feel awesome after doing all of this. This was technically my first time doing this much on a computer so I was kinda nervous. I also never expected it to become like this.
I would put some pictures up, but my sister took the camera again to not use it again...
New Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS something.... (too long)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+
HDD: Same ol' 70 GB drive from the old one
RAM: One stick of 1 GB
Video: 256 MB... 1/2 of what I used to have, but I don't care.

DS Secret Wifi Button Whowhahu....
So not so long ago I've stumbled upon some videos on Youtube showing off a "secret button" in the wifi menu so I thought "I should check it out" or something like that. I did it and due to the horrible calibration my DS has on that side it was insanely comfortable to do. Older games just say "Starting simple Wifi blahblahblah" and it gives you 60 seconds for you to press the wifi button on something. This, however is not new nor something amazing. This is just a common option that the japanese can use in Japan.
What I'm trying to say is that all they did was remove a button from the menu, shrunk it, moved it to the edge, and made it invisible. Why? Because the rest of the world does not use them, thats why. Here, this is what I mean.

This is the same menu, just in japanese.
Now there is nothing more to this science or "mystery". Blahblahblah, blahblah... blah...

Project... DELAYED!
Doesn't everyone hate it whenever one's efforts end up in vain? I'm going to write this down as short as possible.
I woke up, got to the train station, arrived at my destination, walked alot under the sun to the store, arrived fatigued, asked for 2 items, none where available, I died inside, bought atleast a Power Supply, walked again under the sun, did all the same but in reverse order, got back, and whined for a bit.
I don't blame them because they needed to move by the end of the week, but DAMN...

Project: PC Reconstruction!
Years have passed since I got my wonderful computer. It has served it's purpose well and without fail. But alas, it's hardware has gotten obsolete. I plan in replacing some of it's parts in order to tune it up.
So far I'm thinking of Power Supply (ONE THAT'S SILENT), a Motherboard, and a CPU. Those are my priorities right now. I can still handle with 70 GB of space and 1 GB of RAM ain't that bad.
My Graphics Card is in good shape and better than my 6 month old laptop, so thats not needed. Besides, the only games I'm currently playing are Touhou and they don't need fancy stuff.
I plan on reinstalling Server 2008 and I may go with 64 bit this time. I just hope my check fills my budget for this.

Operation ~ A week later.
So after 8 days I was sent back to my surgeon's office so that he could remove the tapes/bandages/whatever he had put on me after the surgery. I must say, I was imagining myself suffering from pain, but infact it didn't hurt at all, even one of them tickled me. He said that I can now do almost anything I want. Of course, that almost means what my body can handle due to the sewn parts. I'm basically 95% healed. I'm eating, working, sleeping laid on the side, whatever.
Oh and I returned to work 3 days after the surgery. Let these 2 posts be useful for some people who stumble upon this place who are going through the same drama as I did.

Blog Move
This was quite an unexpected twist in my short-lived blog life. There was a certain thing that prevented me to use my blog propertly which I won't say due to private reasons, so I decided to move all posts to Blogger and basically transfer my blog to here. Atleast this makes it always online... I just need to learn to customize this page propertly.
Now I just sit unpatiently watitng for Star Force 2...
