So i'm bored, Cooking here in my room.

Anyone else here from Melbourne dying in the 43 degree (Celcius) heat?
What makes it worse is i had my PC on all night downloading and someone turned my fan off in the morning and my PC lets out more heat then the damn heater. So i basically woke up as a peice of charcoal.

Also a bad bushfire threat.

Okay my Motherboard is beginning to go on me. The PCI-E and PCI slots no longer work and basically i need them. I've found a new motherboard (Asus M2N68) and i have the information below on both my old and new one i want to buy.

So yeah, All i need to know is wil all my old components work with the new one.

Okay so, Me and my mate often drive down to the local shops, Or Mall to you Americans, To find ourselves bored.

Basically, I want to know what you do when you're bored at the shops.

Today i took my Foxtel remote (Cable TV) and changed the display tv's to Comedy channel and turned volume on full so South Park was echoing through the shops.
Other then that i buy bouncy balls and bounce them into shops.

What do you do to pass time if you're not buying anything.
