So while looking at some of the cool new things the latest NVIDIA drivers do for Compiz performance in Linux, I got caught up in the CUDA documentation.

With pyrit, on my lowly 8600 GTS I am seeing a 3X throughput increase over my Dual Core 3GHz CPU.

Computed 2592.26 PMKs/s total.
#1: ‘CUDA-Device #1 ‘GeForce 8600 GTS”: 1880.0 PMKs/s (Occ. 99.9%; RTT 2.9)
#2: ‘CPU-Core (SSE2)’: 738.8 PMKs/s (Occ. 96.6%; RTT 2.2)

So I just got a Google Voice account!

PS3

So after my Sharp Bluray player died, i’ve decided to break down and just get a PS3. I already have a HTPC, so it took a bit to rationalize getting one, but I’ve finally decided.

It’s suppose to arrive tomorrow: http://bit.ly/13UxpU

Aside from Folding@Home and Bluray playback, what is there to do with the PS3? I have a 360 for games, and a HTPC for video/audio playback. It’s going to get Linux on it because I put Linux on everything. What else?

So I went out with some friends Friday night, and who do I run into? Tito Ortiz AND my 7th grade biology teacher.

The world is too small, and Yakima is even smaller.
