How to (not) make your own kebab

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

Yesterday me and my girlfriend decided to make our own kebab for dinner. The easy way is to just fry it and eat it on a plate with fries or something, but since this is the easy way it was never an option. We decided to try our own kebab roll, i.e. a pizza dough filled with kebab, hot sauce, lettuce, cucumber, onion and tomatos rolled into a roll.

We started by finding the recipe for the pizza dough, mixed it and let it rise. During the risetime we started to fry the kebab, prepared the filling and after that we rolled out the dough and put it in the owen. At this stage I was really hungry. Lucky for me the pizza dough didn’t took long to finish in the owen. Took it out and let it cool down. Now I felt like I could eat anything, and I suppose that was good, because the pizza dough was hard… It was impossible to roll it around anything! A big disapointment, but a man have got to eat…

So, what have we learned? Use the correct dough (or way of preparing it) if your going to make your own kebab roll.

AMD Athlon 64 X2

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

Two days before christmas 2004 my old motherboard (Asus A7M266-D) decided to go *poff* and took one of my 2 CPUs (AMD Athlon MP 1900+) with it in the fall. At this point there where no Socket-A MBs at the stores since it was to old. I had to buy new stuff and this time I didn’t go dual. I ended up with a Asus A8V Deluxe and a AMD Athlon 64 3800 and 1GB RAM.

Last night I read a review of the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 that I found really interesting. The Athlon 64 X2 is a A64 but with two cores so it can calculate two things at a time. The new A64 X2 uses the same socket (socket939) and doesn’t consume more power than the ordinary A64 processors. If I’m lucky my new MB will support the new A64-X2 in the future. It just depends on the BIOS software.

The review was interesting in many ways. We clearly see that Intel have problem to keep up with AMD at this stage. The AMD CPU is both faster and consume less power in the process and, thus, it’s easier to keep Cool ‘n’ Quiet!
