MSN Messenger 7.0.0813

Build 0813 leaked early this morning, download at:

http://digitaldj.net/msn7 The package supplied is already ad-patched.

Other than that, WinHEC is pretty much over – rather disapointing, but oh well. Adobe Photoshop CS 2 also leaked a couple of days ago.

Sleep now.

Quiet PC Project

The parts for my Quiet PC Project arrived from PC Case Gear today. True 0db parts with absolutely no fans because I’m sick the watercooling pump making way too much noise

So sitting on my desk are the following parts needing to be installed soonish:

-ThermalTake Sonic Tower CPU HeatSink
-ThermalTake Schooner VGA HeatSink
-Arctic Silver 5 Compund

I wanted to quiet down the PSU, however, I need 550W and the fanless PSUs are only ~350W at the moment :(

Photos:
-Side of Sonic Tower
-Front of Sonic Tower
-Schooner Packaging

And yes, the Sonic Tower is HUGE but not that heavy.

I’ll leave today with this awesome picture of a blow-up drill I got the other day.

Microsoft Windows Longhorn Build 5048 Leaks!

Well Done WiNBETA, well done.

Build 5048.winmain_idx02.050401-0536 (built 01/04/2005, only 25 days ago)

A few hours before WinHEC starts the WinHEC VIP event had started. I may have screenshots of the new Longhorn later as I burn the DVD and install it on my laptop but we’ll see if I can be bothered.

Neowin has a good picture that sums up what came in the x64 briefcase:

Also supposedly an XBox 360 picture leaked and the MSN Messenger 7.0.0814 build that “leaked” is completely fake, a fool by Inky and Ahmed (MSN ResHackers). However, I won’t downgrade – it has the cool always on top button ;)

Edit: http://digitaldj.net/5048 will include any screenshots I put up, the longhorn background, the SFV for the 32bit release and the NFO for the 32bit release.

Erm, WinHEC 2005 starts on Monday – expect a Longhorn build leak :D

Also updating blog to MT 3.16 at the moment – expect some down time

Edit: Update complete!

Golfing!

It would seem today was the day I spent most of Tuesday with Howlett, Danny, Emily and of course, Sunee, playing golf on the Par 3 at North Adelaide. A full 18 holes took damn ages and some of the holes were quite short. Everything was pretty fun, except for the annoying guy fag behind us thats like OMG YOU PLAY TOO SLOW, so were like eh get stuffed. Then Sunne hit a ball on to the road and nearly hit a car, that was pretty funny. Then I got out the driver and kept on using it to tee off for like the last 10 holes. It worked well %D

Anywho, Howlett’s driving sucks around Melbourne Street gahaha and erm yeah. Sunne and Howlett came ovar for dinner after. In which, we did not much.

SO ANYWAY, Today was ok I suppose. WoW servers are down for maintainence at the moment :( (lvl 38 now w00t).

In the tech news: WinHEC is in a few days where MS will show off a new build of Longhorn. ADSL2+ has been launched and will offer speeds of 24Mbit within Australia. Other than that, not much been going on. This is a blog update. (it would seem)
