The mighty transistor
Hello again good patrons of the internet or more likely me in several years time(what are you up to by the way) I have decided as I know little about computer hardware on a transistor scale I am setting out on a project to create a pong game with nothing but transistors(for the logic parts) I have been looking in to this and the more I read the simpler is seems I wish my self luck on this logical path to greater knowledge!

Catch up and Parallel computing
It's been awhile since i last posted on here and a lot has been going on I started college loads of games are coming out i'm developing some software and most recently the parallela project.
College
so im at Derby college the Joseph Wright centre not really what I expected I thought that the classes would consist of people like me who know what I know, where as only one or two people in the entire course actually know much about computers as such i have been rather bored as most of the topics that we have been covering i already know to a advanced level or are basic stuff such as "work skills" or "employability skills" so yea looking over the course i think i may enjoy the second year more than the first as we will get to do server side code and game development.
Games
GAMES HELL YEA! loads of awesome games are near released castle story, Dayz stand alone, planetary annihilation, sim city 5 and halo 4. YAAAAAYYY the only problem i have now is time management 1min course work 23 hours and 59 mins games :3 that's should be fair enough.
Parallela project
The parallela project is going to revolutionise the computing industry there offering a 64 core 800mhz chip which is near 51GHz of total computing power, not only that but each of the computers has 4 chips on it.
that's nearly 200GHz of total computing power... this is even more insane when there offering it for $99
my hopes are that motherboard manufacturers will get on board and create compatible motherboards so that personal computing can move into a faster age this will enable games to have graphics indistinguishable from reality and if that wasn't awesome enough each chip will use a maximum of 5 watts considering things will one twentieth of the computing power today, use 90-120 watts no matter what way you look at this it's an incredible jump forward.

So that's a few things that have been happening recently....
i also upgraded my pc.... again....
i plan to upgrade my case
Cpu cooler,
Hard drive
add some ssd's (2 in raid 0)
and get three monitors
also i shut down malinor minecraft :'( mainly due to work load, and my lack of interest in regular minecraft.
although i may start malinor 3.0 a tekkit server built on the ruins of old malinor but it would have to be set up in the holidays as i have very little time for it anymore.
Any ways.... SEE YOU IN ANOTHER SIX YEARS!
