It's been a bit since I've posted something, and for good reason. My main computer went down and all I've had to work with is a little netbook. I could've posted with it but got tired of looking at that little screen for as long as I have to at work, much less at home just messing around. So I've slowly been buying parts and have finally put together my new rig. If you don't care much for computer specs that's fine, you can skip to the bottom for a joke my uncle sent me.
So there you have it, that's my rig set up as of now. Once the holidays and my birthday have past we'll see what changes occur. Until then, it's time to get some gaming done!
For those bored by all that tech jargon, here's the joke I promised. I cleaned it up a bit but the punchline is still there.
A cop stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name.
"Fred" he replies.
"Fred what?" the officer asks.
"Just Fred" the man responds.
The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the biker a break and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. "Tell me Fred, how did you lose your last name?"
The biker replies, "It's a long story, so stay with me. I was born Fred Dingaling. I know -- a funny last name. The kids used to tease me all the time, so I stayed to myself, studied hard, and got good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Dingaling, MD. After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through school, got my degree, so then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS. Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS, with VD. Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Dingaling MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Dingaling with VD. Then the VD took away my Dingaling, so now I am Just Fred."
The officer walked away in tears, laughing.
