Got any hobby(s) ? ?

[MikeyMikey]

I don't know... I haven't gone camping in many years and I always wanted to just go alone and not be bothered by anyone.

Hey Mikey.Do you think i can overclock my P4 2.8GhZ.If yes how.let me know.thx

I am sure it can be done but I don't overclock anybody elses computer other than mine.

I used fix/repair/build computers for people but now... i kinda got sick of it. Not sure why. I only build/fix/repair for my direct family member only too. Even to my cousins I just tell them to buy DELL if they need a computer.
Besides... price of Dell computer compare to when I used to do all these is sooo much cheaper now, heck sometimes Dell is even cheaper than cheapest computer I could build. Plus you get a Operating System with it.
I think I am evil now

Anyways, Not too long ago I gave my brother one of my old AMD Athlon XP computer which had AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (1.46GHz) that could overclock to whopping 2.5GHz Rock Stable yet! I clocked it back to default speed because I personally can't trust anyone but myself with a overclocked computer... unless the the user knows what "overclocking is & how to maintain it".

Anyways... yes your CPU can be overclocked but it's not a one click process and it take many hours of testing.
AND I never recommend anyone to overclock their computer! I mean computer these days are so bloody fast that average joe doesn't need all these power. ANd yes, I am considering you as a Average Joe Computer User because You asked me if your Pentium 4 2.8GHz HT can be overclocked.

I have a nice vegetable garden in my backyard I have to take care of on a regular basis, so I guess you could call it a hobby..... I have tomatoes, green beans, carrots, cucumbers, onions, lettuce, some pumpkins, strawberries, rhubarb...and a half dozen giant sunflower plants...

It's a nice way to keep busy..

Hiking? You should try geocacaching.

I have bounced signals off the moon (litteraly) and off the satilites, and heard transmissions from the international space station. As for ET, he did call and he asked me when you were going to come for a visit.

Seriously tho. Ive spoken to people around the world on a small radio, in hundreds of countries all from the comfort of my fishing chair, in between bites.

Im also getting into ARES (Amature Radio Emergency Services) http://www.emoares.com which does some search and rescue, amber alerts, and communications for the OPP and local Fire and ambulance services in a disaster.

Ham radio is an old sport, but reliable and a neat hobby.

 

[Spinninreel]

Hyperfox, it does sound like an interesting hobby and we were just kidding with you. Do you find that people doing this hobby have increased or decreased over the last few years?

 

[idesign]

Oh yeah. I know you were just jokin around.

Honestly, with text messaging and the internet coming about there has been a huge decrease in people online much like CB radios. There are the few that still use it, and were pretty much it. The past 5 years have been steady i'd say.

Nice pics by the way, it's great to see what ppl are up to on their off time besides fishing. Personally I've always been a outdoorsy sort of person, I used to mountain bike a lot (around my area), skiiing, and a lot of swimming, but now a days, I'm more into fishing/lure-making, paintball (own a TAC-8 and 98 custom digi camo), R/C's ; used to be into off-road, but lately I've been getting more into R/C milism airsoft tanks, heli's and planes, here's what I've been tinkering with lately:

Kyosho DBX 1/10th 4WD Nitro Off Road Buggy w/ GXR18 Engine (toasted the engine a little, needs some work)
HL Panzer III 1/16th scale R/C tank w/ airsoft, sound, and smoke (will be ordering paintball bb's for it)

Thinking of getting a heli (2.4 ghz CH 47 Sea knight Chinook) or a (A-10 warthog twin brushless 30 amp) for summertime, if you want to see these in action, just copy & paste the names on the youtube search engine. I'll try to post some pics of my RCs up above when I have time, have had a lot of fun with them, especially with this newer tank I purchased recently.

Did you take these yourself? They are stunning! And those are definitely some nice birds.

Hey Snypa, I had no idea you were into RC stuff. Very interesting. I once had an idea to make an RC boat that could take my fishing line way out past casting range. LOL
