Nerd Ahoy

I leave my computer running pretty much 24/7, often with torrents uploading or downloading (piracy, yarrr). My poor machine has been much more stable ever since switching to µTorrent a few weeks ago. Actually, it hasn’t been rebooted since I switched away from ABC—exactly 21 days ago. I haven’t pulled that sort of uptime since hoarding bandwidth on campus freshman year. µTorrent is tiny, both in physical size and memory footprint. 200k to download and usually no more than 6mb of system memory to its name. It’s hard to find such awesome software these days—compare those numbers with 11mb to download ABC and RAM usage upwards of 100mb. Azureus is even worse. Long live µTorrent! Sorry to nerd out.

I’m seeing RJD2 at the Pub tomorrow, then Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in mid-March. Sweet.

Abe turns 21 on Tuesday, the day after Troy turns 23. We’re gonna put them both through the ringer (after we’ve thoroughly saturated them, natch). Troy’s birthday falls on Presidents’ Day, so in the absence of work and class he’s gonna try and clear 23 beers in the yard glass Mike got him for xmas. He did a 12-pack in a night during the White Trash party, so I’m sure he can do it if he starts in the morning like we plan.
