Been crazy busy this past month, work+school+Circle K=hectic. Although I have a lot more free time, I spend it working on random projects and Circle K stuff. I’m actually taking a mid-term test a day early just so I can go to a project for my club and get us some money.

I discovered a website awhile back called Silent PC Review while looking up reviews on motherboards. I’ve since then become addicted to their website, reading up on ways to silence my computer. The fan on my video card is obscenely loud (I tested this by stopping it, computer noise dropped quite a bit) as is the Power supply (I bought it while my other one is on RMA, should get back to me Wednesday). I bought a replacement fan/heatsink for the video card, and one for the CPU (It’s the stock one and doesn’t do a very good job at cooling, I got a ninja, which has the option of being passive, I’ve got a 120mm fan behind it so i think it’ll work.)

Hopefully those will get to me Wednesday so I can finally shut up my computer in one fell swoop!

Well, I’ve moved out of the noisy house in bellevue at long last. I moved out to West Seattle (which seems a bit counter productive) to a small studio in the basement of an elderly couples house. It’s actually a really nice place, It’s about 2 blocks away from the ferry, I can literally walk straight down to the beach from where I live, and I can watch the sunset if I wanted to.
The couple who live in the house are really awesome people, they’re both 80 and look 60, and are still moving about. It’s fun talking to them (a couple days ago I was working on their computer when Helen came over, she came up and had tea with Ann, the woman there, while I was working on it), and it’s a nice quiet place. I think I’m actually going to enjoy living here
I spent the last week of September moving (hence the lack of posting), and got all the big things moved on the last day (that day was a big mess).
For a while my room was 80% boxes and 20% space, but I’ve now shaved that down to a 60/40 ratio. Hopefully I’ll be able to get it down to 40/60 in the next few days (I’ve got A LOT of stuff). I’m planning on donating everything I don’t use, I’m trying to hold onto less stuff I don’t use often.

Class has started and it’s been fairly uneventful. The marketing class is kinda blegh right now, the instructor isn’t really all that clear when she hands out an assignment, so I tend to get confused about what the assignment is (but I just email brandon and he usually knows what it is). The IT103 class is pretty easy, It’s all online and I have to use this software that came with the book for the assessments, and it’s painfully easy. The only big gripe I have about it is that it doesn’t run in linux, and wine is going to take some tweaking to get it running properly.

Circle K is finally starting to pick up, I got a secretary this week! So far I have Me and King as The President (we’re co-presidents), Eric as the VP, and Cecilia is the Secretary. We just need to hunt down a treasurer and then we should be good to go for a full-board. Our meeting this past week went fairly well, Eric is going to come to S3 next week which is freaking awesome (I’ve been the only member to pretty much all of the past events, it kinda sucks), We just need to work on member recruitment (I’m going to start throwing up flyer’s on Monday, I was going to do it last week but I still haven’t unpacked the printer >.<) but I’m confident that we should be able to get some more members into our club and start working on Projects, I’ve asked Eric to get in touch with the JRC and see what they’re up to. Hopefully in the next couple weeks we will be able to visit the bellevue noon club (I might end up going to the sunrisers alone since it is so early).

So that’s basically everything that has been going on, it’s picked up now that school has started and I think it’s going to be a fun year!
