Mmmm, yummy new stuff! lol …

As most of you know, I’m quite a fan of having the latest computer hardware. I always like to keep up to date with the new stuff, and don’t like things to be slow or to not to ba able to do something. The result of which is that most of my money goes into upgrading my computer every 2 to 3 months, hehe. Well, since I’ve lost my job, I guess I can’t do that as much now, at least not until I’ve got another job secured. All of this is bad timing really, as when I was looking around the usual hardware news websites, I came across this …

It’s the new Foxconn Blood Rage motherboard, based on Intel’s new X58 chipset, which is for the new Intel Core i7 processors that are comming out sometime next month. If nothing else, how cool is the name, Blood Rage, lol! It looks pretty cool as well, don’t you think? It’s quite capable as well, supporting upto 24 Gb of DDR3 ram, 4 PCI-Express 16x slots supporting both Crossfire and SLI, and it also has 6 x SATA, 2 x eSATA, even 2 x SAS! Not to mention having 12 x USB 2.0, an X-Fi based sound card, and so on! I don’t know how much this motherboard is gonna be when it’s realeased, but it’s gotta be quite a bit. I’d love to get this motherboard, along with Core i7 and some decent DDR3 ram as an upgrade, but unfortunately, it’d cost me too much, for now anyway. And anyway, apart from that, the PC I have already is not exactly slow, hehe!

Finally, to finish in a non geeky way, here are some YouTube videos I like …

The first one is Muse, live at Wembly Stadium singing Knights of Cydonia, the more I listen to that song, the more I love it, hehe! What an athmosphere, I wish I could have been there! The second video is the official music video of Slam by Pendulum. This has to be one of the best music videos ever, lol, watch it until the end and you’ll see what I mean, go go fat guy, bwahahaha! lol …

Doo doo doo! Dee dum! Daaa!

Pendulum live concert in Paris!

Dan — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 21:15:33 +0000

Ahhhhh! Pendulum are comming to France! At last! It’ll be the second event of their european tour, which will be held at Elysee Montmartre in Paris on the 9th of November, starting at 7:30pm. I went to see Pendulum live in Cardiff in Wales back in May, which was their first live event in europe from the In Silico tour. It was also the first proper live concert event I’ve been to, and I must say I loved every second, it was epic beyond belief, Pendulum really know how to put on a good show, great music, great light show, great atmosphere! I took some photos and videos at the concert as well …

Here is a couple of videos I posted on YouTube of them …

Pretty good huh? I can’t wait to go and see them again. As soon as I got the email with the tour information I just couldn’t resist temptation, so I went ahead and ordered myself two tickets … Here we are a few days later and they’ve just arrived by registered post this morning, w00tz!

Now all I have to do is figure out how to get there, lol! I’ll be going with my friend Jym, who’s also a fan of Pendulum, so that’ll be great. There is one problem though, we both got two tickets each, lol. I had an idea of who I wanted to invite to go with me, but as it turns out, that won’t be happening, which sucks! So I have a spare ticket now, and nobody to go with me! So if anybody wants to go with me for free, let me know, especially any girls, lol! Jym should be alright though, as far as I know he has a list of potential people to invite, hehe. Ahhh, I can’t wait, lol!
