Why does
any webmaster
make an "about" section? Honestly, the only people who will ever read
it
will be those who already know you (and are collecting data to
incriminate
you with) or those who are extremely bored. Either way its kinda
pointless
don't ya think? Perhaps its my hope that someone famous will see this
section
and call me, maybe it's a way to inflate my lacking ego, or maybe its
just
another way to waste my precious time. Any ways, below you will find
info about me, CpuJunky. Why? I don't know.
CpuJunky's
Personal F.A.Q
So what is
your real name?
Dirk Diggler
How old are
you?
24. I'm old enough
to drink, smoke, drive, and vote....although I tend to drink more than
I vote ;) I still want to party like I did as a college freshman, but I
should be focusing on my career.
At least next year I get a discount on my car insurance.
Where do
you live?
A small town in
Ohio. I can't complain too much,
I've lived here a long time and have always found something to do.
I live close to Dayton and so there is usually something going on down
there. I might be moving soon though....
Ok Mr.
"CpuJunky", what kind of computer do you
use?
I'm long overdue
for a new machine, but this one is tried and true. Here is a brief
description:
A PC-65USB
Lian-Li aluminum case with front USB ports, 4 external
5.25" bays and 7 internal 3.5" bays (aluminum is lighter and dissipates
heat faster than traditional steel frames). It came from the factory
with a
rectangle cut in the side and an acrylic window installed. Much sharper
and more
durable than the hand-done jobs. I also installed a black light ( cold
cathode
tube) on
the inside of the case. I use white, rounded, IDE cables which glow
really nice
with the light on. I'm working on a lot more case mods as I get the
time.
AMD Athlon XP
1900+ (1600mhz) CPU overclocked to about
2200+ (1704mhz). Settings are 1.85vcore, 142mhz X 12. I use a pure
copper heat sink
and ball bearing fan with Arctic Silver 3 thermal grease.
ABIT KG7-Raid. 6
PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DDR slots, 4 IDE ports (2 can be used for Raid 0/1/0+1).
IR and additional USB headers, along with I²C bus options and tons
more features. No gay AMR/CNR slots or onboard audio here! Thank god!
GeForce 3
w/TV-Out, overclocked to 255/245.
Hercules Game
Theater XP Sound Card (Dolby Decoder)
with external input/output rack.
1GB PC2100 DDR
Cas2 Memory.
A 40GB 7200rpm
IBM Deskstar 60GXP hard drives and a 160GB Maxtor. I used to have a
Raid 0 setup with other drives, but after extensive benchmarks I found
it to be less than spectacular. It seemed to improve write speeds but
degraded read speeds.
Lite-On DVD+/-RW.
Pioneer 16x
DVD-115 DVD-Rom
Floppy (remember
those?)
3Com 100baseT
NIC (905C).
Software wise, I
am using Windows XP Professional SP2 among
other things. XP is probably the best OS Microsoft has ever made. It's
more
stable and faster than any previous MS OS. MS
still included a bunch of integrated shit which can get REAL annoying,
but
luckily the OS is completely customizable. With a few changes the OS
can be
tamed to your liking.
So do you
have a job and/or are you in college?
Well, I've had
just about every job you can imagine. From fast food to sales, US
Census to PC Technician. I'm currently working as a Retail Sales
Manager while slowly
moving toward my CEG degree. I've taken classes at several colleges,
but I screwed myself by partying the first 2 years. Now I'm trying to
make up for it.
You drive a
sweet car right?
I used to drive a
1992 Dodge Dakota, but that was totaled thanks to some ass monkey in a
Toyota Camry. Then I had a 1995 Dodge Caravan but, you guessed it, I
totaled that car too. So now I'm driving a 2002 Dodge Dakota, my pride
and joy. If I total that, I'm gonna be pissed.
What are
you favorite foods/drinks/movies/actors/etc.
If you seriously
want to know that, you seriously have
problems.
What types
of people do you hate? Please vent
your frustrations....
I started to
answer this question and realized that there were way too many
things to list here, so I ended up making a whole new
section just to answer this question ;) Check it out from the menu bar
at
the left.
Why did you
make this web site?
I have this
diluted vision that having my own web
page gives me a creative outlet and power in which I'll somehow
influence someone
else in the world. Funny isn't it?
What do you
do in your spare time?
When I'm not at my
job or working on computers, I spend most of my time bar hopping with
friends. Usually we end up betting money on darts, air hockey, chicks,
hell....I'd bet money on betting money if the odds are good. I play
guitar and listen to music, but who gives a crap.
What kind
of guitars and equipment do you have?
I primarily use
my American Fender Fat Stratocaster (Customized
with Seymour
Duncan pickups), run it through my Digitech RP300 valve system, and
then hook it directly into my
PC sound
rack (Hercules GT XP). I use a bunch of different software programs for
multi-track editing, drum machines, and compilation. I also have a
Gibson
acoustic with Grover lock nuts which I play when I'm in the acoustic
mood ;) I'd say
that I'm pretty good, but I'm always working to get better. I can learn
to play almost anything with enough time and effort, but I
definitely have a lot to work on. Someday I want to be able to pick up
any guitar and pump out an amazing solo. That'd be sweet.
Is there
anything else we should care about?
If you've read
this page all the way to this point, you
need to get out more.
