Today was a pretty good day. I did some work on the user library for CodeIgniter and then Lucas and I went down to help our mom with stuff around the house. We met at Pizza Hut and had an early lunch while finding out the only thing our mom really wanted done today was to move her water bed upstairs in Lucas’s old bedroom. The longest part of the process was the draining and filling of the bed. Our mom wanted to put the bed in the room at an angle to maximize the wall space… which seemed goofy to me but oh well =) .
Water Bed Construction
While we waited for the water bed to fill back up we cleaned out the ashes in the fireplace, brought some firewood in and restarted the fireplace. There was still a ton of hot coals in the fireplace and judging by the amount of ash in the fireplace it looks like mom has been running the fireplace quite a bit this week.
When we got back I started doing a bit of research on my system and started looking for a descent walk-through on how to up my system a bit. I did eventually find a good walk-through, although it does have some gaps in the explanation. I’m running memory tests on my machine right now, but already I can tell it’s a ton faster than it was initially =) . I think the real problem with the system was it was running my memory slower because it wasn’t giving the memory the voltage it needed. It’s almost 1am but I want to see this system up performance through before I head to bed. After looking around for a good walk-through on how to overclock your system I am planning to do some research on these newer AMD systems and make my own walk-through!
