Let the ext4 conversion commence!

I am finally able to afford (birthdays FTW) some new HDDs (4x 1 TB for 546 kroner a piece :o price hax(friends FTW)) so I am finally able to convert all of my stash (except games and windows partitions for obvious reasons) to the Linux file system, which means I can finally call stuff whatever I damn well feel like and not have to avoid using any character like colon and the likes.

So yeah, let the conversion of 13 drives commence, this won't take ages at ALL! Oh well it's totally worth it in the end ^_^

The blog has migrated once again!

So yeah, it is now hosted on BluServ via Drupal.

New blog design, at last

Well, if you have been following the progress of my blog since I created it back in Joomla you might have noticed the vast number of changes to the theme, and when I migrated to WordPress I was unable to find ANY decent theme for my site at all... So luckily my nice friend and graphics professional Lich was kind enough to design me a proper theme, or rather menu. Then Exodus and I decided that both my blog and BluCoders was to share the same theme, so Exodus is now working on the PHP and web-dev part of the theme.

Codename: WoodCase (article is unfiinished and on hold for an unknown amount of time)

PU: Intel C2Q Q6600@3.0GHz

RAM: 2x2GB DDR2 PC8500 Corsair Dominator@1066MHz

GPU1: XFX GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition

GPU2: XFX GeForce 8800GT Alpha Dog Edition (set solely to handle PhysX)

PSU1: Mist 1000W Modular rev. 2

PSU2: Corsair TX550

HDDs: 11 totalling 5.5TiB (or 6047313952768 bytes)

Chassis fans: 5x250mm, 4x12mm, 1x92mm

Internal fans: 1xNoctua NH-U12P (with 2x120mm), 1xCorsair AirFlow fan, 3x120mm

Screens: ViewSonic 19" (primary), Samsung 42" TV (Secondary), Acer 22" (Third)

I'm back!

So due to miscellaneous issues with server and tons of school stuff I haven't had time to work on the blog in a while. Hopefully I will get more time for that now.

Noctua-Dev

So... it is actually at least a week ago since me and Dré did this computer development. So I am sorry for posting it this late, but I really haven't had the time to make a proper article before just now, .

Anyway let's go on, shall we?

Awesome HDD-Setup

So I just thought I'd mention that a while back me and Dré assembled my new station (BluDesk) and Dré figured out an awesome way to place those two laptop hard disk drives that I had lying around.
