oh hey btw i got a new computer

Yeah so I got a new computer. Don’t know if you heard.

It is pretty good at performing many simple calculations and in quick succession. Better than me at it, though maybe not so great an accomplishment.

I ordered the parts from newegg.ca. They all worked, and I was suprised. I figured, that many parts, odds are something will be defective. Pulled a Gladstone Gander.

So this computer, right? It has one of those intel rectangles in it for whatsit — processing? One of those generic looking i7 920s. It has 12 GB of RAM and two video cards.

It’s going to be terrible for developing on. I’ll write some code, and it’ll work fine. The frame rate will be reasonable, the computer will be happy, I’ll be relieved. But then someone else will try it out and manage ~3 frames per second. And three frames is just too few per second. It’s going to look bad.

    I didn’t know you were familiar with the works of Carl Barks et al?

    The brightside is that the slow things we write will be blazingly smooth for you!
