The UPS man gave me a reprieve from Will's antsiness by arriving at 2:45 instead of after 4 with three big boxes containing the case, the parts and the 23" widescreen monitor. Construction however, is not proceeding as planned. The power supply, the motherboard and processor went in without a problem but the standard heat sink that is supplied with the processor does not adapt to the motherboard he purchased, thus rendering it a useless hunk of metal and tubing. Lord knows he tried every way imaginable to get it to fit from the sound of the curses emanating from his room, none of them seemed to work. Therefore Will has opted to order a water cooling system to stand in it stead, thus halting construction of the super computer until it arrives. Proceeding further with the construction would block access to the processor with cabling, so it really makes no sense to proceed before the cooling system is installed. I will keep you apprised of further progress in the super computer DIY process.
I found some interesting music in my subscription inbox for today's play list from a French Baroque composer who was the first to bring Arcangelo Correlli's trio sonata music form to France. The play list includes Apothéose de Lulli (1725), Le Parnasse ou l'Apothéose de Corelli (1724), and Dixième concert in Les goûts réunis (1724) by Francois Couperin performed by the Toulouse Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Louis Auriacombe in a 1963 French recording. The three pieces are excellent examples of the French Baroque style of chamber music with the Les gout reunis a combination of the Italian and French styles. I think you will find them pleasurably listenable.
While listening to the play list, scroll on down the page to find this week's edition of Men In Jeans that will be sure to inspire a lascivious thought or two as they did for me in the selection process. Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow when I will have another smoking hot set of merry men who are Naked or Nearly So. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
