I knew there was something I'd forgotten about in my last Blog entry, and now I've remembered it...
You know you're thinking about video cards way too much when you end up dreaming about them at night. Yep, that's right, I had a GPU-related dream... About SLI to be more precise. The weirdest part is, there weren't actually video cards in my dream, SLI seemed to be represented by two snakes - One was green and one was blue. I'm not sure what they were doing exactly, but people around me were clearly referring to them being together as some form of SLI. No, I don't know what it means subconsciously either. And no, I wasn't smoking anything.
Looking at more of the GeForce 7800 GTX reviews around the web the past few days has made me realise two things:
1. I really want one to review
2. I need a monitor with a higher maximum resolution than 1600x1200
I'm not sure quite why I have such an urge to check one out right now considering that there isn't a lot new feature-wise to see on it (Transparancy anti-aliasing aside), I guess I'm just a whore for new hardware. Oh well, I'll just cross my fingers and see what comes up. :o)
On a final note, why does the rain always seem to wait until the weekend? :o| At least I've finally gotten around to booking some time off work about a month from now, which means you guys either won't be seeing very much of me between the 18th-22nd July, or you'll be seeing an insane amount of me while I plough through content aplenty. I wouldn't hold your breath for the latter though. ;o)

Longest day (+ 1)
Well, it doesn't feel like almost a month since my last Blog post, but apparantly it is so... Oops.
The World of Elite Bastards has been full of some somewhat exciting happenings recently. NVIDIA didn't answer any of my e-mails trying to get hold of G70 information, but thankfully that didn't stop me getting hold of it all anyway. :o) Hopefully my efforts might stand me in better stead with them next time around, although I won't hold my breath. I've also put a little time into trying to build up relationships with AIB partners of (specifically NVIDIA) at the moment, and have hopefully made some steps in the right direction.
More importantly, the other even more exciting thing at EB which I'm nurturing has moved another step closer to fruition - I can chase it down a little more now the G70 article is out of the way, so hopefully soon I can start talking about it a little more. There's also a third 'pretty cool' thing which is a bit of a work-in-progress content wise, so hopefully that can move towards its actual 'getting an article together' stage soon. On top of all that, I still have a fair old pile of hardware to review, and quite probably at least one item to give away to a lucky reader!
Finally, Quinn is currently working on a Content Manaagement System for the site - It looks like a dream to me right now, with everything I need and then some. Again, hopefully that's something we can start showing off sooner rather than later once we've got it how we want it.
Away from EB, I saw Sin City, and it was the single most fantastic movie of the year so far. I'm not even going to bother waxing lyrical about it, just go and see it for yourself if you haven't already. War of the Worlds is the next movie on mine and Tara's 'to see' list, so we'll probably go and catch that on its opening weekend.
This past Saturday I was in London with the wife, being cultured and stuff - We went to Tate Modern to catch the Frida Kahlo exhibit going on there. Some fantastic works of art on show there, I was seriously impressed. We also spent some time shopping (Well, her shopping and me paying), and I also took her to see my spiritual home for the first time - Highbury, current home of Arsenal football club that is. She has a hugely embarrassing picture of me acting like an idiot in front of it as her current desktop backdrop, but no, I'm not going to let any of you see it. Ever. It would have been a perfect day, had it not been so damned hot! Pushing through crowds of sweaty people on the tube in the heat quickly loses its novelty value, I can tell you.
I'm sure there were a load of other things I meant to add here, but I can't think of them. Who knows, mabe it'll stand me in good stead when it comes to updating this thing more frequently?
