Every link is sacred, Every link is good.
Every link is needed, In your neighborhood.
Every link is sacred, Every link is great.
If a link is wasted, Goog gets quite iraaaaaate!

I have to take a moment, remove my "saracastic wiseass random thoughts guy" hat and put on my "intellectual quasi-saavy internet dude" hat a moment to discuss something that's been tweaking my rage-o-meter lately. Links. Or more importantly, people who diss some types of links over others. Maybe this appeals to you, maybe it don't. If so, read on playa, read on...

So far, the results are decent...

I may try and go a bit further, but I figure for a $180 CPU, I can't complain about 4 cores @ 3Ghz... and right now it runs so nice, why mess with it?

Old & Busted:

• AMD Athlon64 3400+ (Single Core, 2.2Ghz I think it was?)
• 1.5 gigs of RAM
• Nvidia 6800 series (Ultra I think?) 256M Video Card
• Three seperate drives... 2 120gigs and a 100gig I think.
• XP Pro / Gentoo dual boot goodness

New Hotness:

• MSI GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB PCI-e Video Card
• Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processer (4 2.4Ghz cores, and we goin higher eventually)
• Tuniq Tower 120 Cooler
• 4Gb of PC2 8500 RAM

So for almost the better part of a year, I've been working on a web-project. It's nothing earth shattering or revolutionary, it's just an entire accounting/billing/management/provisioning/support/sales/everything system for a business. I started looking at it over a year ago, around December 2006 I said to myself "Alright, I can do this with Drupal, some of the functionality it needs is already there, and the rest I can code up as modules... perfect."

The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
