Note to self, Scotsmac is not mead. Asked partner to get some mead while she was at the shops, she asked me if I wanted Harvest or Scotsmac. Always drink Harvest so I thought, why the hell not try something else?

Turns out its a mixture of wine and whiskey and a tonne of sugar by the tastes. Has a bizarre hint of cocoa in there too.

note to self, never touch scotsmac!

Preparing to head over to @RCoon for his birthday (and my own later on) - If im not back by thursday evening, my lifeless corpse will either be floating down the river Trent which is located 5 steps from his front door or buried in his front yard under piles of cat poop and kitty litter.

 

[dorsetknob]

@RCoon Might have a nice crop of tomatoes next year then
and Happy birthday to @RCoon and you @FreedomEclipse for the day to come

PC is making me nervous. Installed and tested my full custom water loop, everything is fine. Temps are pretty good, and GPU is still on air. Despite that, it still only hit 78 degrees while gaming.

However.

Since I started playing Warframe, I get full system lockups. 50% of the time I have to hold the pillow over its face. Pretty sure this started happening before I did the water loop though. My only concern is that its my precious Sea Sonic PSU. When I was leak testing I had the paperclip in, and was turning it off and on quite a bit to get the water circulating where I wanted it. Since then the lockups are more frequent. The odd thing is I can be playing for hours and then it will kill itself, but in contrast, I could simply log into the game and it will crap out. Gonna have to do an IBIT and MemTest when I get home I think...

If you change your mind about watercooling - Im sure i can find someone who is interested in putting that gear to good use.... For a small price of course

Conjoined birthday celebrations go well @FreedomEclipse @RCoon

It went quite well! I didnt get totally smashed though. I dont like the idea about getting completely shitfaced and being sick over someone else's floor because i drank too much. I wouldn't like people doing it in my house so i don't do it in theirs. Being 30 now - Id like to say that i drank very sensibly I got a little tipsy but i didnt go completely arse over tit.

I dont think Rcoon would have me over again if i got too rowdy at his place. always respect your host!

 

[RCoon]

That said, didn't stop Bradley from projectile vomiting in the street at a moments notice. Luckily he did it right before the train.

Turned out to be a display driver crash. Problem is, with 353.30 not working, the only one I can roll back to is 353.62...

I dont have a PSU to sell you but Amazon currently have a XFX TS 550w PSU for £37.99 which is almost half price (full rrp is £63)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HW979AQ/?tag=tec053-21

According to JhonnyGuru - its made by Seasonic so it should be all gravy.


Just make sure youre buying from amazon and not some 3rd party merchant. You'll get free delivery from amazon as well. hurry before they change it

Where's everyone at? back to work for me tomorrow after 3 days off oh well at least my liver will get a rest until Friday! ended up buying the EVGA Supernova GS 550W Gold PSU for £52 from Amazon, damn good price for a gold rated PSU.. I think anyway. And upgraded my RAM to 16GB Hyperx and splurged on a 120GB SSD drive as well... Ooops
