How come I am updating at this point of time?  Well, I got up at 6:01 AM today and immediately started downloading the History of Doom G4 Tech Video.  It is still downloading now and IE says the download will complete in another 43 minutes (it's a large file - 142 MB).  Which is good since by lunchtime I will be able to write it on CD.  On Monday, I downloaded RTC-3057 Hub One: Blue, a 42.6 MB file, in 1 minute and 13 seconds in the Computer Centre.  The server must have been very free and our network must have also been without load, that's why this was possible.  It was still shocking though!

After the release of Doom 3 on August 3, lots of news and reviews and downloads have come out.  There is also a trailer that I want to download, which I will do tomorrow at 6:01 AM!

My computer has been out of commission for the past two days, because the video card (an Intel740) is messed up.  Thanks to Ashwin for spending some one or two hours trying to fix the computer.  Anyway, today I will be getting a Riva TNT2 32 MB graphics card.  I remember a few years ago when this card was a high-end card - now it is a lower-end one.  But for a Pentium II 333 MHz with 128 MB RAM, I think it is sufficient!  I'll be able to play Quake 3 Arena smoothly now, and possibly Quake II in OpenGL mode!  Yay!

I have a Consumer Behaviour quiz today at 1 PM so I think I will go now and read a little for that.  Then breakfast and then it's off to class (Strategic HRM).  I hope the download will be done by then.

Hm, half an hour left.  I might possibly write it before leaving for college.

EDIT: Ah yes.  The power goes momentarily, the network connection is interrupted and the download stops.  Ouch!
