Holy computers

It’s a tough life being a monk. Up at dawn begging for alms, followed by a day of solitude and contemplation, with only a brief break for an hour or three to pop down to the local computer mall to stock up with motherboards, mobile phones and all the other necessary equipment required to support the monastic life.

And they get better discount than I can manage.

correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the monks supposed to not own any possessions?

last temple i went to had air conditioning in the monks rooms.

also… those country bubbles are thrashing my CPU - using 50%+ of it… it’s a really bad plugin.

Todd, actually, I am very fond of the balls as I prefer to call them, though they are rather less interesting following Spike’s enormous influx of visitors the other day to see the concrete and steel to be found in Nik’s excellent pictures. This has caused everybody else balls to shink and Bangkok’s to be the subject of much speculation and admiring glances even in polite society.

So, no castration Spike, your organ would never be the same without its balls firmly attached.

PS with nought else running except PD, just 5% of my CPU is being utilised; perhaps time to get rid of that Mac and get yourself a real man’s machine :-)

Doesn’t impact my Mac CPU significantly. Are you sure it isn’t that downloadalottaporn.exe application you have running in the background?

To add insult to CPU injury, I have another plug-in planned for when we hit 500 cities, watch this space.

Very strange. Do you get the same problem with other browsers? Seems OK with Firefox on a Mac and PC.

2008-09-11 | todd says

yeah using FF and chrome.
