I used this Zalman fan controller to keep the noise down. That was one quiet computer. I did a lot of work sleeving the power supply and all case wiring. Before Noctua there was Yate Loon.

That stapler looks like a tank. I have a Bates 550 that my dad gave me when I was a kid, That thing is a beast too. Bought a red swingline a while back just because it's a classic due to Office Space. Surprisingly it's also made of metal.

I was going to bring it to work but people are probably going to keep stealing it and next thing you know they'll be moving my office to the basement. :p

So went to look at a cottage lot today, it's not for sale, but my uncle thinks it might potentially go up for sale, he just does not know what's going on with it. Also been trying to get more info myself. But at least I know what it looks like now. Kinda small and there's neighbours on both sides and there's not really any trees in between, so kinda not a fan of that... but if it goes for a good price I can go for it.

Deep down I still want acreage though... but I do worry I will regret getting something without a lake. At this point anything good that comes up I will jump on it. There has not been anything at all in like 6 months, the market is completely dead.

I was waiting for someone to reference Office Space. Love that movie! I have a short swingline that I got for graduating high school.

Just turned on my a/c. I couldn't believe how hot my place was. Funny how I just put up my winter comforter today.

I turned off my AC too, was 26 in here, and by AC. I really mean just turning the heat off. :p This room gets hot faster than rest of house since it has a dedicated duct straight from the plenum. I really should add a damper on there and a thermostat in this room to control it.

One of the cats likes fish. Fish makes one of the other cats puke. Naturally, the one that pukes likes to raid the other cat's food bowl. He puked. :(
