Patrick’s Blog

Just this summer, I was irritated by the fact that I can’t play my favorite games because of my pc’s low “system capabilities”. So I decided I’d make a new pc (I’ll assemble it on my own). My target system is a Intel Core 2 Duo cpu, graphics card with shader model of at least 3.0, RAM of at least 2GB, hard drive with at least 200GB capacity, and an enclosure (or pc case if you may) with really good air flow and cable management. I know it’ll be kind of expensive but it’ll be worth it in the end. I won’t use it just for games. I also have some other things to do in my pc than just gaming. Like sound editing, photo editing, and sometimes video editing.

Having a great/cutting edge pc is my dream. I just hope it will come true. Ha ha ha.

For now, this is my pc’s specs:

CPU: Intel Celeron 430 1.8Ghz
MoBo: ECS 945GCT-M v2.0
Graphics Card: ATi Radeon x600SE 128MB Shader Model 2.0
RAM: ECS 1GB (came with the motherboard)
Enclosure/Case: Unbranded

If you have questions about pc upgrades. Just message me here. I’ll try to answer those that I know. I’m still not very knowledgeable with all the pc stuff. But I’ll try my best to answer.

Its the new album of the band The Devil Wears Prada! You might ask “Who are they?”. Well here’s a bit information about them.

The Devil Wears Prada is a Christian Metalcore band from Dayton, Ohio USA. The band started in 2005 with the following member lineup:

• Mike Hranica - Screaming Vocals
• Jeremy DePoyster - Rhythm Guitar / Clean Vocals
• James Baney - Synthesizer / Keyboards / Piano
• Andy Tick - Bass Guitar
• Daniel Williams - Drums / Percussion
• Chris Rubey - Lead Guitar

The band’s first full-length album was titled Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord and was released under Rise Records on August 22, 2006. Their second album Plagues was released a year after their first album (August 21, 2007) still under Rise Records. It was later re-released on October 28, 2008 featuring a new cover, a DVD of some of their tours, and music videos of their songs.

The new album is set to be released on May 5, 2009. But you can pre-order it now and get some cool freebies. The pre-order package includes a DVD, a t-shirt, and the album itself.

Thanks for reading my blog! See you on my next post!

Whew. At last I have a new blog! I haven’t thought of a good title for my blog yet but I’m working on it. So how was your weekend? Good? Well for me its just fine. Just the usual happened. Went to the mall, bought some stuff, and went to church. Of course I did some useful things for myself this weekend too. I edited my Friendster profile which I am not so familiar with right now since its been almost a year since I last tweaked my profile, played ZX Online (ZX stands for ZhuXian) with my friends, and read some useful info from wikipedia. Yeah that’s right. I read at wikipedia every now and then.

You might say “What the hell?! Why are you reading at wikipedia? Are you a nerd?”. Well, for your information, Wikipedia might be one of the best things that came out of the web. Things that you want to know is right there. Its just a few types away from your fingertips. And since its user-edited, everyone can share their knowledge there. You might not like reading, but I know you have the urge to know more. It doesn’t matter what information you’re craving for. As long as you seek knowledge, Wikipedia is the best source.

So, want to go read some article in Wikipedia?
Ok, that’s all for this post! See you on my next one!
