Now we had everything needed to survive: a bed and some party food. No time
could be wasted anymore and while doj was installing his system in the hotel
room submissive started to unpack his new case. On the bed you can
see his equpiment wraped in aluminium to avoid electric shocking.
Some minutes later the mainboard was installed and hard disks had to be
stabelized with the help of some screws. Hardware freaks know
that new cases always have some metal on the slots for the isa and pci cards
which have to be ripped of before inserting cards. Because we forgot to take
them out before installing the mainboard submissive ripped off on of its
condensators while removing these metal slots. Was that condensator important
for functionality ? It turned out that it was not needed at all. Perhaps we
should write Chaintech some email telling them of a further improvement of
their design...
As both computers were running now we started coding on the demo again. doj
prepared his tune Easy Guitar for the
multichannel competition. Of course it did not make it through the
preselection.
Later that evening we were starving again and decided to go to the city and
have a look for some nice restaurant. Actually we were doing this for the
fourth time now and I still don't know any good place to eat some normal food
in helsinki. It seems to me that the finns do not like to eat outside home
very much, as all you can find are fast food burger shops. The best
alternative to american dinner is a steak restaurant where we finally went
once again. If any of the readers knows a real good place in Helsinki to get
some european food place mail me !
