Computers (General): June 2006 Archives

   Today I finally received the 1u Socket 370/A heatsink that I've been waiting on (actually a day early). I'm hoping to somehow get it on top of my B&W G3's 750gx. I've been busy trying to bend a heatsink clip to allow it to fit on there.
   I was actually going to put the newly arrived heatsink onto my Gaming PC's Tualatin but it wouldn't have fit thanks to a chipset heatsink that I put on there. So, I decided to use it on my G3.
   Sadly, I think that the RAMsinks that I have on my video card may get in the way. In that case, I will most likely be using the heatsink that I have in my Gamin PC. It is a smaller, width-wise, one and should fit without problems.
   The not-too-sad news is that my Gaming PC is out of commission for the moment. I think it is becuase I had to remove the CPU and it has some problems when I do that. I believe it has to do with the retaining clip things. I'll get it back up and running soon, though. It has done it before anyway...

   I've been working on a database manager for my OS 9 server lately. I decided that it would be nice to have one close at hand.
   Basically, it's going to handle inputing and outputing data from databases via simple html forms. The databases are not going to be anything complex, but they may get rather large.
   I've just been getting the structure traced out, up until now. I'm hoping to have it done before the week is over.
   Strangely enough, I'm scripting this cgi in Applescript. Applescript does have its plusses and minuses, but its not really made for such work. Nevertheless, it's rather fun getting it to do so.
