Well to help fund my uni I will go back driving my taxi at weekends.
I am back at my old firm Weytax. I have also made them a very basic website http://www.weytax.com . It needs proper photos (my old Golf Turbo is on the home page for now).
Quite excited as I love taxi driving : always meeting new people.

General
Well after many months of being miserable in my job, I finally concluded that it wasn’t the money that was pissing me off. Turns out I didn’t like software configuration and release anymore.
So I made the choice to apply back to University and they accepted me for a Computer Systems Engineering degree. I am so excited.
I upped and moved back to my home town in the UK and it feels really good to be home again.
Ill be taxi driving again to supplement my merge student income an could not be happier.
Well I finally got around to finishing the games machine build.
Its a repurpose of a machine and is an Intel Q8200 (2.33GHz) with 4GB OCZ Gold DDR2, 320GB Seagate SATA, Gigabyte P5Q motherboard. It used to have a pants ATi card, but yesterday I found a BFG Nvidia based GTS250 card and wow I am impressed.
I am running Call Of Duty: World at War and have it maxed out on my screen at 1920×1080 with 4xAA/16xAF all options at max quality. During normal MP Gaming I am seeing 80-120fps.
The card is pretty quiet under load and isnt a power hog either (it does need 2×6pin PCIe power cables). The OCZ Modstream 600 is happy with this setup.

I paid €185 locally here in Malta which is a bargain (local prices range from €200 to €220).
all in all I give this card 5/5
Well tonight airs the final episode of BSG.
I am sad and excited at the same time as I wait to watch the climax of this legendary series.
The UN recently hosted the Quorum of the Twelve and that will go down in history I am sure.
I am not going to write one word of spoiler (not for a few days anyways)…..
This movie was very entertaining.
I liked its pace and the plot was intelligent enough to be believable. The pace kept up with the plot and only a few ‘ooh didn’t see that coming’ moments.
The ending I found great; no cliche, no fuss, just a good ending for a suspense thriller.
