First up I wanna greet all the faja's out there a Happy Father's Day! This will be my first, and I must say, the role of being a dad hasn't actually sinked in yet even though my kid is more than a year old already. I guess being a dad is really something. I'm glad I had a chance to be one.

On the home front I updated michelle recently. Now I literally have a small black box! I decided to go with the following specs after my old setup miraculously died on me without notice.

Shuttle Prima SP35P2 PRO Intel Q6600 G0 stepping (old) 2x1gb Corsair XMS DDR2 800 (old) Sapphire 3870 Toxic Edition Auzen X-Fi Prelude Western Digital Raptor X Saitek Eclipse keyboard (red)

Well, I am content with my computer's performance. I'll just be changing my processor to a Q9450 when the price drops and maybe a new pair of speakers. I'm on the verge of getting myself a Logitech Z5500. Hopefully I can acquire 'em within the month.

I also change the look of my windows shell into something lighter on the eyes. I decided to install Windowblinds 6 and Iconpackager to update the shell and its icons. I used to use the Vista BricoPack but I found it too buggy when it comes to rendering the effects and widgets. The thing I like the most about my current shell is the wallpaper - I find the portrait of the girl to be really pretty and inspiring - in more ways than one ^^

Finally, I updated the designs of both themes on the site, and fixed some minor bugs I found in my code. I haven't had time to post much less update my site in the past few weeks so I'm happy I had the chance to do so this time around.
