Nvidia leaked a triple-SLI Vantage score using GTX280s today. This afternoon, I beat that score using two 4870 X2s. I'm not going to say how much I beat Nvidia's score by. I used the same QX9650 @ 4 GHz, so the only things that differed were the video cards and some motherboard settings.
I'm pretty awesome.
Today I studied two hours before a one-hour exam. University rules say we can't leave in the first half hour, nor the last half hour, so we're stuck in there for the whole exam. I spent the first half hour doing the paper, and the second half hour sleeping. It was awesome. I slept so deep that I missed their ten-minute warning and didn't wake to give my answers a third check.. Monday's one's gonna be hell though.
Second thing that happened. I was riding the bus home today, and saw a guy rooting a tree. I don't remember if I smiled or frowned.
Edit: didn't realise "root" was Australian English. See the entry under "other uses" for explanation.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Well i went to check my rep and i have 2 green squares now so that kind of made me smile
Also, i've finished reading the Naruto manga and DAM! there's some serious shit going on there
1 vs.1, thats all.
Okay, thanks for that. I'm just thinking, even if the PS3 can support 7 controllers, is there much point in getting more than 2. Perhaps 3, using the sixaxis as a spare and playing with two Dualshock 3s.

No, aside from some sports games ( pro evo, virtua tennis) and some fps ( resistance), ps3 has no 2+ offline player games.
Pretty much the same for 360, but 360 also has a 4 player fighting game (doa4)
Driving around the city with my best friend today. We stop at a light and he absent-mindedly accelerates when he sees the cars to his side start to move, but didn't notice that the guy in front of him was still stationary. Stopped in time to avoid anything serious, but he still bumped into the back of the guy's car.
So we drive around the corner, and they both get out. This guy is our age, has a curly afro and white sunglasses. They both apologize to one another profusely and see that there's absolutely no damage done. Then the guy goes "Hey man, God loves us or something" and emphatically high fives my friend as they both turn to get back in their cars.
I am absolutely certain I will never see that happen again.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Ha. That's awesome. It really is.

That ain't never ever gonna happen in Singapore. The front car driver will threaten to sue and demand for compensation, while the other will try to push the blame else where. All this will happen on the road, causing traffic congestion......Originally Posted by XanBcoo

Well damn, after a really shitty week, I finally have some things to smile about.
1. I just got hired at Pappasitos for the summer. Yay money.
2. I have to make a difficult choice about tomorrow evening. I can either have coffee with one girl, or see a movie with another.
3. I'm sore as shit from starting a new workout routine. It's brilliant.
Edit: Shortened to make this less live-journaly. I'm just in a good mood.

My 360 came back today, that means it only took ms 6 days in total to fix it, plus they added a month of free live =]
Exams finished. Celebrated with steak.

STEAK! Definitely worth smiling about!! Oh and the finished exams too =PExams finished. Celebrated with steak.
I tried my best...
@Xan: At this point in your degree program, shouldn't you try to find a job that's more in your field? Though I must say, Pappasitos could be a blast. Do you get discounts on the food? I've always heard there's a lot of extracurricular mingling among the wait staff at places like that.
2. depends on the movie
@Buffalobiian: do you know if you passed them all or not? That steak dinner might be premature if not.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Yes, I probably should be, but I didn't start looking until early June, so I'm taking what I can get at this point.
And yes, Pappasitos seems like it'd be a fun place to work, seeing as how a bunch of the people there are around my age.

Yeah, I know. One of them was really close as well. But I thought we'd do this for finishing them, chill out for two weeks, and freak out the day results come out. There's two that I owned, two that were alright, and one that's pretty iffy. If we all pass, we could celebrate again, perhaps in a more wallet-friendly manner.
I should really find a job that relates to my profession too. But until then, I'll stay at my pizza joint and rack up whatever pay and experience it gives.
Congrats Xan and Eurasian.

Eurasian was congratulating you for finishing your exams. She has a long way to go yet.

In that case, I'll rephrase that as Good Luck!!
I'm let off early, but I'll be back in Semester 2 in 4 weeks or so. You guys'll have till September.

I have a long way to go?? And you know this how?
I tried my best...
