Today I had a day off. Good thing too because I stayed up till dawn trying to figure out why port 80 was blocked on my main computer. Turns out my mac address changed. I haven’t downloaded any executables or anything out of the ordinary. The only thing I can think of was that something got passed something I unblocked with NoScript in my browser. So far the problem hasn’t returned since I entered the new mac address back into the hardware firewall.
Today I tested my new Intel Extreme processor. I got some real nice results with it! I’m still thinking of moving onto a newer system with core 2 duo processors and crossfire capability in the new year though after tax time. I need serious power for filming in game videos. Fraps does a great job dragging down the framerate and unfortunately while Source Recorder does a wondrous job keeping all the frames it doesn’t seem to want to record my voice along with everyone else.
On another note, time to get some shut eye for the zombie apocalypse in my area…
