Vox: Updates on Life
I have a couple of really quick topics to write about so here we go.
1) Wallpaper Wednesday
I have a new project on my website, MattPippen.com, called Wallpaper Wednesday. The idea is that every Wednesday I will post a picture I have taken with my Sony DSC-W50 for people to download and use as wallpaper.
My hope is that at least one person will write in with some comments to help improve my photography. I have my first wallpaper up right now for download in 1920×1080 of the American flag on MattPippen.com so be sure to check it out.
2) Plans for a New Computer
I am in the process of planning out what parts to put together in my next computer. I am going to buy a barebones setup to save some time.
I normally have built my desktop computers although this time I have a fair amount of money to work with. The specs will be below please tell me what you think and if I should make any changes.
- Barebones: Shuttle SG33G5B - Intel GMA 3100 Barebone with HDMI/HDCP/Dolby Digital Live! DTS/Vista ready
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Q6600 2.4Ghz (Will be overclocked to minimum of 2.66Ghz)
- Ram: No Specific Brand, At least 2GB
- Hard Drive: Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10,000RPM SATA
- Optical Drive: LITE-ON 20x DVD Burner
3) Donate Button
MattPippen.com now has a donate button in the left sidebar. If you like what I am doing and would like to support it as well as me please donate. I am also willing to link to you if you specify that in an email sent to me after the donation.
I can really use all the donations possible to help get my new computer which in end will help me create better content.
