To get it out of the way, this month’s tech fail: failing CMOS battery on backup PC. Yes! That’s all I can recall and it’s easily fixable. For previous tech fails, I also finally have the plan and funds and great options. The greatest of those options: AMD’s new Radeon RX 480. I can’t wait to see it in price lists.
More on the planned upgrades, well, the only definite one so far is that I’ve decided on to get two 3TB Seagate drives. I’ve budgeted based on the original cost of parts to be replaced and I’ll decide what to get as I go along the not progressive buying process. Wow, I haven’t done that in a long while now.
I also got to organize/file info on the computers at work, for my team at least. Come to think of it, the team’s pretty big now and I’m glad that the hardware and software are quite right in…a lot of ways.
On the anime/tv series side of geekery, I’ve catched up on Macros Delta (or Macross Triangle I like to call it) and I’m getting a good ride and wonderful tunes while everyone else is into Game of Thrones. I did get a copy of (almos) all episodes from eldrich so mhae and I can catch up and get into the conversations by next year’s season. Oh, and I also got from him a copy South Park. YEAH!
Gundam geekery has been good with the release of The Origin episode 3. Simply put, the story has gone well in establishing how tragic Char and Sayla’s past has been, but it didn’t fail to build Char as the villain he is. Yep, I like how there is no attempt to blur his character’s villainy.
Glory of Losers also apparently got scanlated upto the latest volume and it was a joy to recall the story albeit being altered a bit. The katoki designs are just great. I sure wish the other retelling we’ve been waiting for—rebuild of evangelion—gets completed soon.
I think I’ve written quite a bit on free stuff from the net so I’ll end it here for now.
