Stage 1, Complete

Yay. "Finished up" koko over the weekend. Not totally done b/c I should still do the following:
- add holes for the power switch, air output, and firewire/usb ports
- replace the on-off switch with a momentary switch for the power
- add led for power and maybe for hard drive activity

Rather than let these little things keep the whole thing on hold (like I would normally do), I'm going ahead and putting her into commission. The pictures have been taken and will be posted soon. Since there's no hole for it, I'm letting the power switch hang outside. Haha, so ghetto.

Jocelyn figured out how to increase the font for most of the stuff so there isn't nearly as much eye strain involved. I also commandeered her wireless keyboard and mouse so that we can instruct koko from the couch. Ah, technology.

The Nero DVD playig software was acting slow, though... I'm sorta worried that the exposed power supply is having some strange effects on things. FMA played fine via Windows Media Player, though, so maybe it's just Nero's software acting funny. Might put in some aluminum foil to shield the other components.

No more fiendish punishment could be devised, were such a thing physically possible, than that one should be turned loose in society and remain absolutely unnoticed by all the members thereof. by poker tables

Hegel says somewhere that all great events and personalities in world history reappear in one fashion or another. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce. by free poker online

There is no history of mankind, there are only many histories of all kinds of aspects of human life. And one of these is the history of political power. This is elevated into the history of the world. by poker tournaments

There exists a great chasm between those, on one side, who relate everything to a single central vision...and, on the other side, those who pursue many ends, often unrelated and even contradictory...The first kind of intellectual and artistic personality belongs to the hedgehogs, the second to the foxes. by online blackjack

Bow your heads to your husbands - and that will be ornament enough for you. Keep your hands busy with spinning and stay at home - and you will be more pleasing than if you were adorned in gold. Dress yourselves in the silk of probity, the fine linen of holiness, and the purple of chastity. Decked out in this manner, you will have God Himself for your lover. by paradise poker

Death of old age is a rare, singular, and extraordinary death, and hence less natural than the others; it is the last and ultimate sort of death; the farther it is from us, the less it is to be hoped for. by online blackjack
