We already have a rant thread and I thought it would be nice to have a topic about happy things too, so here's the big yay thread! I'll start off with this: I finally got my new gfx card to work properly. It pissed me off for nearly 4 days, but I'm glad it works now.  * Suusje does his happy dance LISA: o_O |

Congratulations with your new card, I hope you're totally happy now  And I agree there's a need for things like this. But I can't say very much here about myself. Still I haven't too much troubles and it sounds cheerful. |

Speaking of graphic cards, I found a (new) Matrox Millennium P750 for as low as 39 € at eBay today - they normally cost at least 160 €! Obviously, the 3D performance is rather low-end, but there is no better card for ultra-crisp pictures, extremely reliable drivers and native triple head support (for my three monitors  ). |

Wings without the Lisa's for me...Since, well, it is school art...(sorry!) It will probably be a male, dark angel too...since that's what I'd prefer to draw (no offence ^_^; ) |

Yay! Finaly got rid of all the old skating footage thats been stored on camera tapes for nearly 4 years. Managed to create a little movie of most of the best things which is here, and I do appologies for the incredibly lame title; 'Skate and Devastate'. Bart, eat your heart out. Unfortunatly, for every Yay, theres a Nay. Broke my board, need to buy a new one. Gaah! |

I'd break my neck in one minute trying to repeat all those tricks you do there so easily... You also chose a very fitting music to add as a background. All in all, that was a surprisingly interesting video, sorry for ignoring it before

ey, Fulbert's Right. Congratulatons and a big 'yay' to all of you, LTS ladies and women! The world would be a dark ugly place without all of you. I wish i could give you all a "mimosa" For good luck and a kiss, but for now, i just send you virtual hugs. And to Lisa, our special little big girl of the forum, i wish many years of fandom, even after the show will be forgotten! And of course, lots of ponies. |

Hehe I am rubbish at guitar, can I join in? Sounds good Anyway, I HAVE to let this out! Sorry that its rather complicated... May not make sense to everyone though but nw.. I'M GOING TO UNI THIS YEAR!! Basically cos I have no choice, but wow, I've had such a confidence boost today! Usually before going in to an art degree, most people have to/choose to go through a foundation course in art and design for a year, before their degree.... As for me, I applied to BOTH, kept my options OPEN and today I had my interview for a foundation course at my local college, after my uni interviews (4/5 uni's offered me a place) I was turned down..cos I was "too good" ...which has really made me happy!! They felt I just didn't need it, already had my focus, and sense of direction, they weren't harsh or mean, just very friendly and advised what it was best for me to do and, it just made me so happy to feel that I was beyond the foundation level Would be sad to leave my friends behind but then again, it gives me more freedom and I'll be able to just "spread my wings" and go on towards a career in art ... Sorry if this doesn't make much sense but wheee! So so so so so so happy My decision has kinda been made for me! I dont have to threat about "what ifs" cos I wasn't offered a place anyway Uni, here I come! |

Got much to yay about, but the most immediate being that school starts again tomorrow (dang easter holidays), huzzah! So tiresome being alone with myself, I'm not much of a company. =p CasperYays for the skating video (= I think it's very impressive, but then, I wanted to skate when I was younger... never got hang of it, couldn't even do a kickflip. Just ride and do some ollies :x I blame my crappy board xP Seems like you're living in a pleasant area too. CargoOfDarknessThat's a mighty fine rig, but where do you get an intel processor running at 6.6GHz on present day consumer market? O_o' Unless you're not feeling that nothing's wrong, I'd recommend changing OS, Vista is compared to XP nothing but trouble, just superficially pleasing. :X And DirectX 10 has so far proved to be nothing but a huge waste. I'll be quiet now. Hope you're enjoying gliding through your new smooth rig anyway! El_BartoWicked, what kind of guitar do you play on? Blues on a steel stringed acoustic for the win. \^-^\ Black_ravenNot sure what it is that wouldn't make sense, but congratulations! Studying at university is my personal telos, and since you're excited about it, I'm sure you'll have a great time, develop alot (as if it's needed ), and get a real boost into the art community. I wish you good luck in your future hopes of an artistic career. =) |

That's a mighty fine rig, but where do you get an intel processor running at 6.6GHz on present day consumer market? O_o'
I believe thats a misunderstanding He's probably talking about an Intel Quad Core 6600, which has a base clock speed of roughly 2400Mhz (although it's an overclocking beast. I have its smaller brother Core Duo 6420 and i keep it to 3.2Ghz in daily use with little downvolt and stock heatsink). * SimpReal proved his nerdyness once again ... yay for deep overclocks! |

SimpReal^^ Oh yeah, guess I could've guessed. He says dual core though, so I guess it's the C2D E6600 and not the Q6600? xP and does overclocking make you a nerd? I run an E6600 at 3GHz with stock cooling, jolly good fun to be tweaking some performance out of your box, don't really think it's down to the geekery though.
