Jeez.

I sincerely need to remember to update this thing much more often. Much much.

Let's see. How'd today go? Well, I accomplished two math lessons - that is not insignificant at all. In fact, it is quite an accomplishment. I'm impressed. You should be too.

So of course there was school, and it went just fine. Accomplished plenty. Done thirty minutes late, but that's not bad at all, not at all. Especially given that I paid a visit to the orthodontist, and now my teeth hurt. Not like it's really his fault, because he's doing it 'cause he's getting paid, but that doesn't stop my teeth from hurting, you know. So I personally think I came out on the south end of that deal. Sure my teeth will look neat and shiny later, but for now, they feel like they are rotting. They're not, they just hurt. Darned gum bruising.

After that, I watched an episode of a show called "Stargate Atlantis." It's about Stargates (little wormhole portal device thingies), and the particular crew that mans the Stargate in Atlantis. This episode was about some other people, who supposedly had a rebellion, but the rebellion leader was just there to draw the Stargate military commander person over. Primarily so as to trade for flying vehicles. But then the rebellion leader learned that the Stargate people could heal people with radiation poisoning, so he actually pulled off the coup d'etat and took over. And the Stargate doctor fixed the radiation poisoned people, or at least those that he could. So all in all, a good episode.

Then Andy and I performed a superb and yet makeshift computer modification. My computer is now running at 111 F as opposed to an average 170 F. See, we replaced a side (with cardboard) and built a vent tube to the CPU fan, so fresh air is always coming in. It's worked brilliantly, as long as the tube stays perfectly on line with the fan, but if you let it off, it stops working perfectly, and will slowly but inevitably overheat. Like it always does. So this is just a temporary stop - the permanent version will use PVC, I think - but it's good progress, a milestone to say the least. Proof of concept is invaluable.

I think that's all that's really important to report on. Although our sister blog (Morrowlife) has had a Juggernaut update - you should check it out. Then again, if you're actually reading this blog, than you probably already have. Hrm.

I am very pleased with how well my modification of your computer went. It hasn't risen above 158 F yet. We'll see how the final version turns out.

It's brilliant. I thank you kindly for it. In fact, this blog's function is possibly thanks to you.
