Completing 50 north American resorts

Photography museum and Swedish cake

I’ve gone for a full set for the i4.. which means I can clean and coat the BMW ones 😃

Had a couple of days relaxing with great musicians. Such a nice festival in Newport witha mixture of music.

Had an interesting time preparing GPS systems for their Icelandic winter

Using the famous 7.9GB bluemarble image – I ran the vips-bench on my 12 core AMD 7900X to see how linear the speedup is with threads/cores – it speeds up well to 12 threads – but is really at full speed with only 8. What should be amazing is that we can process these huge files in only 5s !

System has 32GB DDR5 and was reading/writing to files in /tmp. I used a 3s pause between deleting output and running next thread-count.

Having moved the broadband router to one corner of the house it was time to put a separate wifi AP in. The EAP610 from TP-Link was so good I have turned off the extra AP on the draytek router. Its also faster than mains networking (800 vs 400 Mbit/s)!

sadly I had to remove the motherboard to put this in but it was worth it for the quiet running

its a cool master hyper 212 by the way.. I also removed the noisy rear fan as this blows air out anyway
