Meet Lilith


Okay guys, today i'm gonna tell you abit about my PC. I call her Lilith, that's short for Monolith, forged by the Dwarfs of Low Yat Plaza in the fires of Mount Doom, Lilith boasts a 2.77Ghz AMD dual core processor, 160Gig of HD, an M3 GBTech mobo and an Nvidia 9600 GT graphic card all encased in a sleek black tower the size of a small car. Her main role in life is to finish my AE, but she's also well outfitted to play video games when the need arises. The drawback of this hardware is that they heat up pretty fast and because there is no eternal winter in Malaysia, i had to install a huge fan to keep Lilith cool under pressure. The huge fan in turn makes a very loud noise, enough to wake the neighbours at night. Lilith came installed with Windows XP SP3, but because i didn't like the way her makers did not partition the harddisk, i had to format and reinstall a jailbait copy of XP, so now Lilith occasionally make attempts to connect to microsoft and tell Bill Gates that my Windows isn't legit enough for her tastes. I also use a custom theme for my windows to give it a sleek psuedo Vista look, but because XP is a nitpick when it comes to anything custom, it tends to give me all this bollocks about Generic Host 32 pissing in my virtual garage, forcing me to reboot les i be forced to play with no sound. Now if i was your standard mamajama nerd who pesonify their PC because they have no life, i would define Lilith as a naggy and needy wife who performs well in bed..... of course i'm not a nerd with no life, i'm just saying 'if' i was one.... no seriously.. stop looking at me like that...

In Class Task 1 - CALL me Arip

Salam..

My name is Mohammad Ariff Bin Othman, at 22 years of age, I currently attend the 8th and final (hopefully in a good way) semester of my TESL Degree. I would tell you more about myself but then I would have to kill you. Since i've taken it upon myself to write this blog, you probably want to know about my relationships with computers and the full extent of my internet kungfu.

I must say that i'm quite comfortable around computers and even dare say that I love them very much, perhaps to the extend of installing one in my car so that i may... compute while I roll? But unfortunately X-zibit have yet to pimp my ride in such a manner. One thing I'd like to add about computers or rather technology in general is that i think they're advancing way too fast. Despite my love for all things ergonomic and techy, i dread the thought that one day my washing machine would develop a mind of its own and turn on me.

My knowledge on all things techy includes but not limited to the use Adobe Photoshop, 3DS Max, windows movie maker, FRAPS, Winamp, MP3, BMW, BMX, and the tv remote.

As for hardware stuff, i guess i know enough to tell apart a RAM from a Hard Disk, what an M3 motherboard can do over an M2.. as well as various other skills required in maintaining my robot wife.

My computer and internet activities usually consists of playing video games, downloading all forms of media from the net, listening to my favourite MP3, and trolling on internet forums. Or all four at once, it's incredible what you can run with a 2.77GHz processor nowadays.

Okay thats all for now, stay tuned everyone...
