Hardware Update

     It seems I have taken a lengthy posting hiatus but for good reason! I started my second job last week and the original reason I got this job was to gather enough money to pay for a new rig I was going to build. Reason for said rig was that my old one s@#! the bed. Luckily, after both Best Buy and IBuyPower.com (where I bought the computer) said they couldn't run a diagnosis I decided to go through my own set of hardware diagnostic tests. Come to find out my GFX card blew, which I guess is better than my motherboard, but still an expensive set back.

     Luckily for me I still have both jobs which allowed me to get the captivating Canon EOS Rebel XS 10.1 MP. My second camera ever and most certainly the one with the highest caliber. This will now allow me to take my own high quality pictures where I can create my own image not just through Photoshop, but through my own eyes without the limitation of an image search engine. Also I've created a wish list which I leave detailed later on with only the relevant items to my work.
     Now as my productivity should be seemingly on the rise, I must admit my blessing is my curse. The 2 jobs help exceedingly over time, but this very time will serve as my greatest obstacle. I work either 4 hours a day, 8 hours or 14 hours. My days off I am forced to take myself to the realm of the outdoors where this so called "social life" will be turned upon me. In the mean while when I'm not dying from exhaustion or mingling amongst my friend(s), I'll be taking and creating my own stock photos for any kind of project I have in mind. My next project will be following this video.


The Wish List
[x] GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280mb w/ 6ft. hdmi cable
     This on top of my dual 3.33ghz processor should allow me to run Photoshop CS5 and hook up my camera to my computer. Doing this will enable me to take a picture and have it instantly transfer to my computer for a quick editing all in full HD.

[x] Samsung 32-inch LCD 1080p HDTV
     This larger than life monitor paired with the video card and cable previously mentioned will let me view and edit my photos and projects with surprising detail and accuracy.

The money isn't quite there but I guess that is why I called it a wish list and not a shopping list.
