Advanced Overclocking Championship 2008 (aocc2008) - Hong Kong July '08

[moloko]

Well, i literally only brought a CPU and some small tools with me so you guys need to take care of the pots and everything (which yp already knows)

Yeah i've got a couple CPUs, some memory (kingston and corsair - in case we can't use anything other than kingston) but most importantly the speakers have been bought and are working fine

Damn.. 34c. When you guys see tall white guy who is sweating like crazy all the time, it's me I will not survive 5 days

I don't think you'll be the only one buddy

No people? No cars? Where are they?

They couldn't possibly be in one of the central hubs of asia!

I just saw on Rome TV the forecast for monday is 36C.
Taiwan has a low pressure system heading towards it.

[Fr3ak]

Have fun guys!

hixie, I expect at least 50 pics posted here per day :P

For the European guys: I heard some rumours about a event one week after the event in Hong Kong. It takes place in Valencia, that's pretty much all I know.

[emo]

Just back from the party with my friends, one of the preparation for the next four day. see you guys tomorrow. ^^

[hyem]

Arrrgghhh we're still stuck up here in Indonesia bro,... We'll go there at 3pm today... meet You there...

[moloko]

hey Josh does ur speaks come with a sub?

Nah mate. I need my luggage to be as light as possible as I want to bring some things back on the way home

It's just a little set of Logitech R-10 speakers but it should do the job for providing some benching beats. They'll also be good just to have some music if we decide to smash some drinks in the hotel before going out (I'm looking at you pro )

Can you get Canadian Club in HK or should I bring some from Aus? One of the best drinks ever = Canadian Club + Creaming Soda. It's sooooooo good.

I believe pro gets his flight some time about now out of Adelaide and I'll be leaving early Sunday morning. No idea where the heck in the world Tim is at the moment

Looking forward to seeing my Team.AU brothers as well as my global overclocking brothers soon too! It should be awesome

[DDTUNG]

Does anyone know where dinner will be at on Saturday? I'd like to drop by and meet everyone and join you for the outing to Lan Kwai Fong. My cell is 61233888 and feel free to call me.

I won't be in HK until Sunday afternoon. There's a few guys that have already made it to HK and youngpro should land this afternoon too so perhaps send out some PMs? Otherwise, there's nothing else I can think of to help the situation


NR: Canadian Club is a nice whisky made in Canada. The drink I was talking about was nick-named a 'Tyler-engine' (rip off on 'fire engine') after a mate of mine when we were on a crazy drunken holiday a couple years ago - 570 standard drinks had in 6 days between 4 people and this was not including the drinks had at clubs/pubs. I think we spent the whole time just wasted hahaha.

I might have a small taster/sampler bottle of the 12 year old Canadian Club stocked away in my room. If I do, I'll bring it with me

Good luck guys.. and go Team.AU !

Heheh, a big ol' +1 to that!

[Sampsa]

Me and SF3D arrived couple of hours ago to HK and finally got into our room. After being 24 hours awake we will now get some sleep and wake up around 4 - 5 pm.. should we meet in a lobby and go to dinner? Team Finland and Sweden are heading for some beers after hw pickup I guess

After Vienna i spent a couple days in Venice, and now spending the remaining days in Rome
Starting to wind down now and we are very tired after two straight weeks of sight seeing and shopping. Yesterday the GF had a happy birthday topped off with some LV bag purchasing.....

Going to make sure i get some good sleep in before the long haul from Rome to HK so can compete straight off the plane then head out to the Monday party
