After what can only be described as an odyssey of disappointment and waste, the personal computer is finally operable (knock on wood). I have somehow been suckered into buying a power unit sporting twice the capacity that is required for my rig. The sound of fans desperately trying to keep this beast's temperature under control (a high pitched harmonic whiz coupled with intermittent low hums) will surely please my flatmate.
Absolutely no progress has been made coding-wise, but luckily my musical friend mr. Brannan has not been so apathetic. Feast your ears on these!
