Cargo to haul and bills to pay....
Mood:  caffeinated

I thought I'd drop a note for those who might be wondering when their next installment of Exodus might be coming out. Well, to paraphrase the opening of "Wing Commander: Privateer", I've got "a load of cargo in the hold and a load of bills to pay at home". I am working now, and that seriously cuts down on my available energy to be a starving artist. :) All I am thinking about right now is making money.

My dream computer may be on hold, dammit. I had it all designed on paper too, a nice Asus socket 939 motherboard with built-in WiFi, a 2.6Ghz AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 processor (which is at least equal to Intel's 3.6 Pentium 4), a $600 ATI Radeon x800 XT Platinum Edition video card, 500 watt power supply, Silverstone TEMJIN Black ATX case, dual Western Digital Raptors, the fastest non-SCSI hard drive made, dual hard drive coolers, and a nice round gig of unbuffered dual-channel DDR SDRAM. What I could have rendered with that, not to mention knocking the stuffing out of some games...

But my aged transportation, an '82 Ford Fairmont Futura, is proving itself unreliable, so I am thinking of putting off the monster computer and buying a scooter for emergency transportation purposes, because I can't afford to miss work for a frelled-up automobile. I seriously would like to put a bullet in it's engine block right about now. Anyway, Honda has some nice scooters, priced a full grand under Vespa's entry level model, and I'm thinking about buying one. Whaddya think?



It's the sort of thing I like, a reasonable compromise between hard necessity and frivolous fun. :) Rather have my car be reliable and get the computer though. I'll still get the computer as long as my employment holds up, but it will be later.
