It was bound to happen. I've been sleeping on them for a while and as soon as I find a decent HVAC system that will fit in the closet, I'm getting one. That's right my own Supercomputer. A Cray T3E-1200E to be exact. In just 6 years this beast went from $4 Million to 10% of that. Now I don't feel so bad about having my 2G 20GB iPod (it was $500 2 years ago, now you can get it for half that). Too bad it's not a Cray XMP. That would make a killer couch, being octoganol shaped and all.
Happy bidding folks.
I've been following LOST on ABC for some time now. It seems to be that it has it's highs and lows at most point. I thought yesterdays episode was particularly good. Goes into detail about the Korean man, Jin. I assumed up to this point that he was some royal asshole, but looks are more than deceiving.
So Jin is supposed to be the mean husband and Sun is the wife too afraid to stand up to him. To recap so far Jin joins Sun's father's company and is basically his enforcer (because that's how they do business). He started out as a waiter at some restaurant and is now a big dog in South Korea. Later we learn that he comes from humble beginnings, his father is a simple fisherman. Jin carries out one last mission for his father and takes his wife away to America (or so they thought).
Sun is afraid of Jin and wants to leave the marriage. The husband basically sold his soul to marry this girl and she wants to bounce when she figures out what he does for her father.
In the end they both planned on leaving South Korea, but neither knew what the other was thinking. Ain't that some s!*t
Much to my delight Apple has decided to grace the ol' hangerons (G1/G2 iPods) with some new firmware. Now I get the option of Jumping straight into a shuffled playlist as well as making the default menu a little more customizable. If you've got the oldest or even the newest iPod get a download of the newest firmware.
If you haven't figured it out bionic.homeunix.net has been replaced with www.joechin.com. This is my experiment in fully exposing my thoughts and myself to the internet to see what bounces back. No more anonymous postings behind the blue flicker of the monitor. I've been travelling, physically and mentally, to explore new ideas.
So stick around. I'll be adding photos, news on the internet and whatever else interests me.
