Greeting Friends of old and new!
It has been quite some time since I've been around but I thought I'd drop in to say hello and give a bit of an update.
After working for the local Sheriff's Department, Corrections, and armed security for the past 12 years I've finally settled into a desk job and am now working as Emergency Dispatch for the police station in my local airport. Thankfully they believe in not working us too hard so I have a bit more free time than I am used to. I do work overnights so my appearing here and there may be sporadic.
Also I was blessed with a bonus from my employer due to it being a profitable year and for other contributions I've made to support my fellow staff. So I decided to bite the bullet as they say, and FINALLY built a new gaming computer. I've been running on a aspire laptop for too long. And just to give some of you an idea, my gaming computer before that I used to play BF2 and BF2142 with you all had a 512mb AGP card.... so yea this is a welcome change of pace.
I'm not sure if its still common to post builds, but I figured I'd post my new specs here, feeling like a "Proud papa" of my new rig.
