Another new computer

(July 9th, 2004)

I'm picking up a new computer, custom-built from Rock Computer, tonight. The price was right: $350. This computer will act as my new Web server, hosting stevekwan.com and my e-mail. I'm thinking Red Hat or SuSe.

There was a huge thunder clap a while ago. Saw a flash, and then a bang of thunder so loud I thought the lightning might've hit the building.

Additionally, I downloaded a new game, Painkiller, from my buddy Eric. It's a shooter where you play a guy who is a hitman for Heaven. Why is the game called Painkiller? That name has nothing to do with the game, from what I see. Maybe a bunch of marketing guys got together and decided that Painkiller was a good name because it sounded "intense."

So I'm getting a bit of a gut. I need to go to the gym more. School and work make me so tired that I don't want to do anything but play video games when I'm not busy.

Well, not sure what else to say except that I'll be having a busy weekend working on my research paper. If anybody wants to do anything, call me.
