Hey guys,

I know i'm not as much around like I used to be. Still, I try to visit the board at least weekly. It's important since SK can make 'improvements' to it, which usely end in stuff not working anymore (Just joking ^^)

Since i'm not actively posting anymore, I thought I should make a summary post to keep you guys informed

1. My Daughter Lynn.
She is over 7 months now and she is absolutely adorable! Now she's trying to figure out if she should learn to crawl or just skip that and try to walk.
It's my main priority these days and I love it



2. A new desktop
I got sick and tired of my old, noisy pc and with my old and ugly desk. So I decided to make a new one... and combine them!
It took me a couple of months to draw the plans, find all my materials and put it all together. But now I got a brand new, one of a kind desktop which is as modular as a regular pc, with an extra 'wow' effect ^^
The specs itself are reasonable. Not highend, but it should keep me up-to-date for a couple of years :

[*]Intel Core I5 4670K (running @ 4Ghz now)
[*]MSI Z87 G45 motherboard
[*]8Gb of RAM
[*]Asus R9 280x
[*]1 SSD 256GB
[*]4 x 1TB drives in RAID 10 (for speed and security)
[*]Power and cooling by BeQuiet.

Even at full load, it's unbelievable quiet and running very cool : CPU @ full load = max 60°C



3. Custom programming
When I have a dull moment, I try to continue my development of my own software. Now i'm working at software specifically for small Banking and Insurrance agencies, so they can monitor their products and customers.

4. Gaming - offcourse -
When I'm not busy with point 1 or 3, i'm still gaming occasionally. These days you can usually find me within 'MechWarrior Online'. An awesome game, based on the BattleTech universe.
When you see me there, don't be shy to say hi! Otherwise I'll blow your mech into smithereens

Well, now you guys are also up-to-date!
Hope to see you all around

Spem out.

Lynn is gorgeous, you both must be really proud of her. The PC aint bad looking either !

Thanks again for your help today.

Mike

A big, big hand for my saviour and all round best guy in the world, Spem!
Love you to bits Bro! So glad this little thing we call SSDi is still functioning and much of that is really down to you Stevie boy!
I would be really lost without you coming on and making sure I dont ruin this webspace!

Gonna have to get over there to Belgium and give that little gal Lynn a big cuddle!

SK

She's adorable mate!

That PC looks like fun indeed.

And last but not least,
