Geek Anvil (currently geeking...)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Had a look about for the Currently Geeking thread, but it appears to have gone...

So. Picked up my new machine over the weekend, three gigahertz of lovely black-clad number-crunching madness. I know Iz, Dark and Motz probably all have equally fanboyish pictures, so I invite a little posting and appreciating of Heartlanders Computers.

Eagle-eyed fans will note the three CDs resting atop the tower, fine shiny gifts of noise from oop Norf, with thanks to Messrs. Scotty & Co!

:notworthy:

Now, I have a CD-writer, and a DVD-writer. What's this weeding thing all about...?

As far as I can see, the only down-side to renting a room. That, and having your beer nicked from the fridge, squabbling over telly rights, and only getting the house to yourself when the bills need paying. :roll:

Thank-you for noticing though. I am attempting to cover as much of the wall with pictures as possible, but no man can afford that much blu-tack.

Yes, thank-you everyone, the stunning revelation that a single man living alone doesn't clean up very often - astounding.

As for the webcam, it's all perfectly innocent. I'm not in some Teen Movie, nor am I Dirty Den!

It's about tidying up your garden and you don"t need any writer for that, only a shovel or a can of gasolene and matches ;)

Seriously, nice machine :) Welcome to the world of the happy Few ;)

Nice speaker set you have there, too, although the positioning ain't optimal :innocent:

And is that a new monitor as well? :eek: Seems like the multiple choice pad for a Fingerprint Forensics exam! :)

Man, I really love that view outside your window...

Is that what they call 'the Sun'?

The photo from my old place? Yup, plenty of Sun from that view. Trees and mountains and stuff too.

All the Sisters posters got block mounted when I moved. :) the Joy Div one is safely rolled away along with all the others not currently in use.

Wow, top setup, BoF! :notworthy:

Iz, as our resident Aural Guru, what would you recommend I do with my speaker arrangement? I've got the two stalks, and a subwoofer under my desk that tickles my toes...any recommendations?

Paul, I see your three CPUs, and raise you...FIVE, of which two are running at any given time. :wink:
