The ramblings and mumblings of a wannabe poker pro

Computer Upgrade

Just when I was beginning to pull through out of my cold / flu that kept me away from the tables last week, my graphics card goes and dies on me, which really sucked as you can imagine.

Thankfully I had funds available, not available to spend on a new graphics card, but available and needs must. So I ordered a replacement which happilly solved my problem earlier today.

Unfortunatley to keep things stable I now also have to shell out for a new power supply, which was a bit of an unwelcome purchase, though when the bills have settled I’ll be very glad with both upgrades.

I still feel a little off it and my eyes are really sore if I’m honest, but I am hopefully to get back to grinding within a couple of days now.

  1. Hi Lucky,

    Glad that you’re feeling better. It’s funny, it’s like we’re on the same schedule as I took off playing poker for a few weeks also (although it wasn’t sickness that kept me from playing). In any event I hope you enjoy your new computer and glad to see you’re back in it.

  2. Thanks,

    feeling rather meh at the moment actually, I’ve grown concerned about cooling, but I’m more then a tad clueless on that, especially water cooling. I’m also researching whether I should use KeyPass with TrueCrypt.

    I might not get any grind in tonight, though it would be nice, just have to get rid of these distractions, will hopefully be back on track tomorrow or Saturday.
