To rewind a bit…

…to bring everyone up to date. I quit my job: working in three shifts was too demanding for me because I couldn’t do anything, like doing my final written papers for school and studying for an exam for example, in parallel. My social life was suffering too, because the working schedule was scheduled only for a week ahead, week after week, so I couldn’t make any plans…

So, here I am now on a “vacation”, just enjoying the summer and thinking on which subject I should write those papers on and also preparing to study at night for this one exam at my philosophy university. Belgrade is calm at this time of year: it’s very hot outside - a perfect time for indoor stuff like playing backgammon, rummy and all of those FPS games I missed because I didn’t have the time to play them… ;) I just rediscovered Worms, the Armageddon sequel this time, and it looks excellent.

The computer quieting project is going well: I bought a new SerialATA mobo so I could install Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SerialATA 160GB, quiet as a whisper, pretty cold and fast HDD. At the same time I was in Novi Sad for EXIT festival, I have bought Glacialtech CPU cooler and 12cm case fan, both running at 19-20dBA. I also dug up a Panaflo 9cm case cooler from some old PentiumI power supply…

Like I was saying, I was at the EXIT music festival, on the 4th day. I went there because of the Datsuns, a rock’n'roll band from New Zealand, which seriously kicked ass. Unfortunately, the other bands kind of sucked, so that’s about it.
