Today I got the first few parts of my latest addition to my PC setup. A mainboard, memory modules and 2 CPUs.
As you can read in the title of today’s post, the mainboard is a Tyan Tiger MPX. By far not the latest model available from Tyan, but that is what second hand market is for.
2 Athlon MP 2400+ CPUs will do service as processors and while not the most powerfull anymore, they are more than adequate.

Before I continue with today’s subject I’ll do a little clearing up on why there still aren’t any pictures in my previous post. The gallery is working and so is the rest of the webspace, but there is some trouble with uploading a large amount of images at once. The FTP denies direct access to the required folder, which is probably caused by the fact that the folder was created with the wrong permissions by the gallery script. This means that I would have to upload all 58 pictures seperately… Thanks, but no thanks. So those pictures will have to wait untill this has been resolved and since I can’t do it myself (I have no root access), an administrator of my webhost will have to fix it for me and then I’ll look at the script to see if I can change the permissions it sets on new folders.
So, on to today’s stuff, I bought 2 DVD’s and a DVD-ROM! Not actually 2 movies, but a compilation DVD and the first season of a series and the DVD-ROM isn’t really a game either… It’s an expansion pack for one of my favourite modern games.
DVD’s
- De nacht van de wansmaak
- The Shield, season 1
DVD-ROM
- F.E.A.R. Extraction Point
I haven’t been blogging a lot lately and that’s mainly because I’ve been pretty busy and that is an understatement. Next week will be a week of tests and I need to be prepared for that if I want to pass them all.
But anyway, I thought it was time for an update anyway, so here it is with the following subjects:
- Unholy Alliance Tour 2006
- Bloodshed Fest 7
- Knepper @ Pascal
These are all music related subjects instead of the usual geeky stuff, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a look eh?

In this post I mentioned that I bought myself a copy of the game Project: Snowblind and finally I got to play it as well as the game Mashed which I got as a bonus with my videocard. The subtitle of Mashed is “drive to survive” which is a subtitle that very well describes what you’ll be doing as Project: Snowblind isn’t really a title which would make you think of a first person shooter. Both are pretty good games and well worth a try.

I’ve been using the combination of a cheap Sweex broadband router with an old Kobishi accesspoint to provide myself with a wireless internet connection, but the age of the equipment was starting to show. The accesspoint would not pass through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and it failed to provide service a lot lately requiring me to reset and completely reconfigure the old thing about every 2 weeks. Sometimes it lasted longer, but sometimes I had to reconfigure it even multiple times per week.
The Sweex broadband router on the other hand is still functioning perfectly, but I didn’t want to just get a new accesspoint, this time I wanted it to be all in one.

Before the actual show, we (a few friends/classmates and I) decided to walk into the city center and stroll down some shops, maybe even buy something and so i did. I bought 3 DVD movies and a bargainbin videogame.
Movies
- The big Lebowski
- The Blob
- Nacht van de Wansmaak 2
Videogame
- Project Snowblind, PC DVD ROM
Hello world! Welcome to my brandnew site!
As of today my new domain www.pingwing.eu has been registered and activated. It’s not that I really need my own domain or something, but my former host (www.wordpress.com) was a little too restricting. Having your own domain and hosting area grants you access to a level of customization that wordpress.com doesn’t.
