Play of the game? I don’t remember. Nothing really stands out, however, I did manage to have 4 turns of 90 or more points.

Group Scrabble – 3.23.08

It’s Scrabble for Easter!

Points This Game

Inanis: 307 | Gac: 307 | Ma: 208 | Bro: 158

Play of the Game

I played ADZ, ZA, ANT and OUT, with the Z on triple letter and ANT/OUT on double word. Somewhere over 120 points on that score. Yup, Gac and I are just too equally matched. Mom plays a pretty mean game, too. Bro’s pretty good, but got some really bad tiles. No addition to the Game win/loss totals, since it was a group game.

Happy Easter… plus follow-up!

Happy Easter. Moving on.

Had a nice week at work. See, I am in the middle of trying to merge two companies together and on top of that, the local Fire Department and Police Department have emergency-level failures in their infrastructure, one of my best clients had a backup failure and a couple of others needed server quotes. Do you see what I’m dealing with? Is it worth it? Remains to be seen.

I have hacked even more the Inanis.net blog theme. I am getting ever so closer to perfection. I hack it up all pretty and wait a couple of weeks to see if I find anything else that needs to be prettied. Then I hack some more. It’s like chili: the more times you re-cook it, the better it gets.

The Beast is purring like a kitten. I have the overclock reset and it’s running very well. I had hoped I would be able to eek out a bit more speed, since Gigabyte sent me a revision 3.3 motherboard for replacement instead of a revision 2.0 like I had purchased, but it just won’t take. Any FSB setting above 300MHz and the system does the POST-Reset loop crap. I think either the video card or the RAM is the cause of my woe, as many people have cranked this motherboard well above a 300MHz FSB and this processor (Intel Core 2 Duo E4300) is supposed to clock well over 3.0GHz on stock cooling (and I have better than stock cooling). I just can’t get it there, no matter what timings or settings I set.

Good news everyones!

Scrabble Game – 3.22.08

It’s Inanis to the rescue with a close win. Luck/Chaos played quite a bit here too, with Gac overscoring me, but with me getting the last laugh.

Play Of The Game

I had played MA right next to a triple letter. Wouldn’t ya know it that Gac had Z and E on the rack, so MAZE was played, for 35 points.

The Beast has returned

I received my motherboard from Gigabyte today. It is installed and working just fine. I posted this post with it. What a good feeling!

It’s good to have a computer again with some horsepower. I will have to play with it over the next few days and make sure all my hardware settings are tweaked back the way they should be.

Sorry Lappy-686. You were a good crutch, but darn it, I need my legs!
