Computer Update

Well, turns out I’m probably not going to be getting the dual-core opteron processors, they are just too expensive right now for the speed I need.  However, Intel’s core 2 duo line is a lot less expensive for the speed.  (never thought I’d see the day when intel was cheaper than AMD)  So, I am now looking for a mobo that will support 2 intel core 2 duo’s.  It will probably have to be a server board, as i doubt that the client side boards are up to that level yet, but i’m hoping that i can at least find a board that will take at least 16 megs of ram.  I also want to make sure i can use RAID, as from what i’ve seen on a friends pc, vista seems to handle raid very well, reading multiple drives as a single drive – and with the amount of data I will be storing, that would be a very good thing for me.  I was always having to move things back and forth to make sure i had enough room in the right places.

Tears for ashes and Joy for for Arsenic

Well, Only 2 categories this time. 
The himalayan we got, Ashes, is refusing to eat.  We have had her checked out and theres nothing medically wrong with her – she just lived for 4 years in one home and now that she’s in a new home she just refuses to eat or do anything.  She calmed down a lot, but its as if she has just given up on living, and there doesn’t seem to be anything we can do.
On a happier note, the set of Arsenic and Old Lace is going wonderfully – we are almost finished putting the set up, and hope to be done by this saturday – when we have our (hopefully) last paint day scheduled.  Also, right now I have my own key to the theater, so I can go and work on the set when nobody else can be there, so the set is going up much faster than it would otherwise.  And, it doesn’t really seem to be slowing me down on learning my lines either.
