Technology Courses

Posted on: November 27th, 2007

I was thinking of studying again for another course. This time I would like to study technology related courses. I remember my mom that keep on telling me that as long as your young you should keep on studying because when you get old your hunger for studying will diminished. Studying is for everyone but only few take it seriously. I’m thinking of taking a course at http://www.browncollege.edu/. Since I’m very interested in gaming, I’m thinking of taking up Game Design & Development.

My plan is to develop new games and be part of something that will change the game development industry. I’ve always wanted to leave a legacy on this world. And since I’m really into gaming, hopefully I could be part of something big in the gaming world. I remember when me and my friends dreaming that we would like to be an employee of squaresoft, the one responsible for creating and developing the game Final Fantasy. I will post here my first game on this blog. Stay tuned.

PC Upgrade

Posted on: November 24th, 2007

My sister asked me to help her buy her a new personal computer for her work. And she told me that she only have limited budget. She even asked me to buy refurbished PC but I say no to her because it’s not wise to buy refurbished PC because most of the time this PC cannot last that long in terms of it’s parts.

I looked for a good PC parts in the internet. Here are the parts that I’m eyeing to buy for my sister. Intel Pentium Core Duo 1.66 ghz, 1GB DDRAM, 120 GB HD and 512 MB Video Card. I was thinking of buying an External Video Card because I would like to borrow her video card whenever I’m playing high resolution games. Also using an external video card can help display the screen of my laptop directly to our widescreen display. I wanted this gadget because whenever I want to watch movies. I was thinking of upgrading my PC but I have some other plans this year. And I’m saving my money for my other business venture.

I might upgrade my PC next year. My target PC specs are Intel® Core™2 Quad and a 4GB RAM. For now this is my dream PC and I’ll update you on my dream PC specs on my next blog.
