As I stated in my last post, I may end up changing out my PSU in the soon to be torrent box that I have named Blade.

Well, I did change it out with the under powered PSU from THRESHOLD, my gaming desktop. While I'm on the topic of names, my MacBook's name is Brink. That PSU is a lot quieter than the one that was in Blade, and it also 100watts more powerful at 350watts. 350watts just wasn't enough power for THRESHOLD, not after I put in the GPU.

So, once again, I am that much closer to having a torrent box!

I ordered a 60mm, 90mm, and a 120mm fan from Newegg last night. I am now that much closer to having a torrent box. The computer is going to be my old desktop which I wanted to use as a server, but never got around to finishing it. I need to mod the front of the case for 120mm fan, but the rest of the fans shouldn't require any modding of the case. I may end up changing out the power supply in it with another PSU I have, only if the other one is quieter.

As you can tell I'm going for a quiet box so hopefully it won't bother me when I try to sleep. Currently that computer sounds like a jet taking off.

I'm replacing the 80mm intake with a 120mm, the 80mm exhaust with the 90mm, and the 50mm heat-sink fan with the 60mm. You will not believe how the fan is attached to the heat sink. Basically it just has two long screws screwing into the fins.

I'm selling my black 5.5G 30GB iPod. I want to sell it for $230. It is in very good condition. I have had it in an iSkin eVo3 case since the day I have gotten it, and there is not a scratch on the front, and very little on the back. I have the original box, and I'll throw in the iSkin case with it. The only thing I can't find for it right now is the original sleeve that came with the iPod in the box, but with the iSkin case, you don't need it. If you want to see a bunch of pictures of what you're getting, check out the iPod Gallery. If you are interested, you can email me or leave a comment. Act quick, or this may end up on ebay soon.

Here's the story: I had a video a little over an hour long of a concert. I wanted to create scenes, or chapters, for each song. I knew that I could do this with iMovie HD, but I did not feel like waiting ten hours for the video to import, so I set out to find an easier and quicker way to add chapters to a video.

I figured that I could do it with QuickTime Pro, but I could find no obvious way in the menus to add chapters to a video. I did a little Googling, and I found a how-to page on Apples website.

Adding chapter tracks is not as easy as one might think, but if you follow the how-to you can get it done. I would have expected an easier way to add chapters, but at least I'm not doing it every day.

Ubersoft.net is the home of the technology related comic called Help Desk. It's an awesome comic that is always clean, and very funny for us tech savvy folks. I personally love Help Desk, it's great and always helps me get through my day. So, if you need a laugh, check out Help Desk, and add their rss feed to your favorite reader.

Monday, school starts up for me. I'm kind of looking forward to it, This year shouldn't be too bad, at least the first semester shouldn't. Since students are allowed to have laptops at school, and in class, I'm looking forward to being able to use iWork '08. I especially like making Keynote presentations, everyone is always in awe at what I can do with that program, they just don't know how easy it is to do that kind of stuff with Keynote is.

I'm also hoping that my photography teacher will let me keep my photos in an iPhoto library, I'd really like to get to use iPhoto, I'm just not a big picture taker. I also hope he will let me use Photoshop CS 3, I know that in the past the school has used Photoshop Elements.

So, I'm kind of looking forward to school, at least the first semester, and then again, I'm kind of not. I wish summer was never ending.

I have finally gotten around to adding a Games section to the Macish. Some of the games in there so far are Quinn, X-Moto, and Solitaire XL. When I discover some new games worth mentioning I'll throw them up on the games page. So, go check out the developing Games page and have some fun.

I just got a new 40GB 4G iPod today. I got it at the MacSuperstore in San Louis Obispo. I've been wanting an older iPod to use in my truck, one that I wouldn't have to worry about as much as my 5G iPod. I got this one used for $30. Not a bad deal at all considering that when this first came out is was about $400.

iWork '08 along with iLife '08 has been announced today at Apple's press conference. Apple has put up a free 30 day trial of the brand new iWork '08. I really can't wait to try it out.

As you may know, I have been using the very well built Dashcode beta from Apple to create my widgets. Unfortunately, it has expired. It will be back in Leopard, however. I am looking forward to the final release of Dashcode in Leopard this fall.
