Woo! I am posting this from my new machine, at long last. Once I was in the realm of software, I was sure things were going to shape up better -- I'm much more familiar in that realm than one of hardware. Elise and I finished up the wiring and such tonight. I can barely hear the machine and it is right next to me... these silent PCs are realy quite nice.
Meanwhile at the office today we had a fun sort of internal social event... we've recently expanded to even more space and so everyone piled into the new offices for Mexican food, beer / soda, and lots of random hanging out. A good time was had by all, though my favorite was watching a crowd of people who had never seen Dead Rising before take it in for the first time on the 360 set up in the common area...
