He said he'll get it done in a few hours, so I'm staying up very late to receive his list. Then, Echo wakes up very early so I can give the list to him and we can decide on who enters in the case of any ties, the opponent pairings, etc...

If all goes as planned we'll get it done before midnight (NG Time).

Well, can't argue with that.

Yep, we sure can't...

Well, as I sit here and wait for the NGADM

I'm finishing an animation I started a while ago
Well, actually it's like a series thing

:)
It rather frustrating at times though :o
And I use Pivot cause I have no clue on how to use Flash lol

So, this animation is about 2 animes fighing and a new plot rises between them

ORIGINAL RIGHT!? *troll face*

Well, I did this project a while back, and it was horrible! IT WAS BAD
So I decided on re doing it way better...
and it turned out pretty nice
I got a youtube video on the first 2 episodes if anyone wants me to link it here :o

Nope, I only remember seeing the list that big when I joined I think.

Right now the waiting time is like only 4 days or so, and it's been the roughly the same waiting time for weeks.

consumerism

so I got my taxback, and bought a bunch of tasty bits for a new computer. I haven't upgraded since 2005, so this is kinda a big deal for me lol. however, I am dismayed to find that I'm already trawling the internets for a much more powerful machine, and essentially counting down the time until I can get a server grade opteron-based system. 4 physical CPUs (each with 12 cores @ 2.2ghz) and 128gb of ram. I've never been obsessed with raw computing power before, but suddenly the idea of slapping down 7 grand on a server blade doesn't seem so bad. once I get rich and famous, it's right at the top of my list hahaha

I dunno, maybe once I finish building my current box I'll be satisfied enough with it's performance. is anyone here with a beefy machine finding that they can still max out it's capabilities?

I use an overclocked Q6600 (at only 3.0 gHz), and even with my massive amounts of simultaneous vsts and plug-ins, I only max that system out when I put the midi interface on an octave mode.

I don't know if you can consider a 775 based system "beefy" anymore though. But it's been a lot more responsive since I upgraded to windows 7 and 8 gigs of ram, and a SSD.

what the hell are you using it for? Rendering Avatar?

You could use that to make a server for online jamming for us folks. :D

What OS were you running before?

I'm trying to ascertain whether it is a good idea to run XP pro 64 on my setup (i5 2500k, 16gb, SSD). I to run a fairly lean setup, but obviously not at the price of the greater performance gains that windows 7 may/may not offer

I'm evolving a second set of ears and quadaural processing is resource hungry

I was running XP before. If you're getting a newer generation processor like the i5 2500K, I'd go with WIndows 7 64 bit. I guess the folks at the computer hospital could give you some advice on that as well. They're bigger nerds than I.

Hmmmm, 32 or 64 bit? Also what kind of hard drive did you have prior to the SSD?

Sorry for the Q&A :3

Sounds like crappy programming.

That's what I thought at first, but then my doctor told me that my second set of ears is actually receiving information from another dimension. I'm not going to go into the maths here because there's too many hypercubes, but until I get this computer, you will never be able to hear what my reality sounds like.

I had XP 32. And I had a 7200RPM seagate. So far windows 7 64 hasn't had any problems with running both my older 32 bit programs AND my newer 64 bit applications at the same time.
