孔子曰 "You think you're on a truly sucky computer until you sell that too and then you're on an even suckier one."

All right, so that wasn't really Confucius… it was me. And also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to most people's lives. Still, the truth is that I got a good offer for my somewhat pepped up Mac mini and I sold it today. Craigslist is fast! The entire procedure, from uploading the description on to Craigslist, to accepting the cash and sending off the merchandise accounted for just under 16 hours. Quite impressive. So now, I'm back on the loaner 933MHz G4 which was considered high-end back in the… 80's?

I went to my first Algorithms lecture and wow, it was so damn boring. I almost fell asleep many times during the 75-minute lecture. I think this might turn out to be the worst CS class I've taken. Still, it's a requirement and needs to be completed eventually, so it might as well be now. It's unlikely that the professor's going to snuff it or go away to another university within the next two years.

Intel has announced four-core processors but I don't know what to do with those. If you put those in today's laptops, battery life will basically come down to 5 minutes. So, I'm just going to be happy with dual-core for now. When is Apple coming out with the Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros? Damn them, I need a new computer right about now.

I also need to sleep.

PS: I am aware that Intel has announced 4-core only for desktops right now.
