New laptop<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I went off to college in 2004, I knew I had to get a desktop because laptops were no good, especially for gaming.\u00a0 They had slow processors, slow GPUs, and little hard drives.<\/p>\n

\"\"For a while, I’ve been wanting an HD monitor for my computer and a blu-ray drive.\u00a0 Then I decided I didn’t want to be stuck in my bedroom anymore, so I started looking into laptops.\u00a0 I was quite happy to find something as nice and powerful as the Alienware M17x.\u00a0 With an HD monitor, a blu-ray drive, 4 GB of RAM, 1 TB of space, and an nVidia GTX 260M graphics card, it is better than my desktop (and more expensive).\u00a0 It also has a fancy LED light-up keyboard, which you can customize to shine any colors you want, which is actually quite useful when you’re playing a game in the dark; otherwise, it seems a bit superfluous but is an eye-catcher.\u00a0 It’s also awesome to watch blu-rays and play games in full HD.\u00a0 It also has an HDMI port for easy HDTV connection, which I’m hoping I can try sometime, maybe Friday.<\/p>\n

And 1920×1200 resolution rules.<\/p>\n

So I really love this laptop.<\/p>\n

And a wiki<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started a wiki about myself here<\/a>.\u00a0 I call it: Hanniwiki.\u00a0 Yay!\u00a0 Maybe it’s vain, but it serves several purposes: 1) I wanted to try out MediaWiki<\/a>.\u00a0 2) I’d like to try world-building with it for my fantasy novel.\u00a0 When I don’t feel like working on my actual story, I was thinking I might like to write articles about the fictional world I’m creating to at least help my mind get into the world a little better.\u00a0 3) I don’t know, whatever.<\/p>\n

So I’ll probably update it with random junk whenever I’m bored.\u00a0 It might be useful for people who want to explore my work but don’t want to browse through a bunch of blog posts.\u00a0 Then again, I’m not really famous enough yet for very many people to want to do that.\u00a0 But still, it’s there, and it was fun creating what I have there so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
