Well, after all this wait :) I sure hope it ain't DOA and according to the plan, I'll use it for few days as is, no watercooling. I'll install waterblock on the weekend if all is well.

Considering the amount of steel related terminology in the reviews, articles and the knife steel charts, I figured a small dictionary was in order. So far just a few basic terms, but I am guessing it will grow.

Lots of changes, at least for one day. Thanks to Bishamon I was able to: Add a better photo for the Kako Deba a.k.a. Usudeba, add a better photo for the Tarasaki, add a better photo for the Takeda Bunka Bano Bocho. Add new phots for the Sabasaki and Dakketsu. Also, set correct descriptions for Kawatachi Hocho and Kakugata Kawamuki. Both are for cutting cloth and leather, not for skinning as stated before. Again, thanks Bishamon for finding and correcting this error.

Considering that the graph handles variable sizes and sizes are up to 1920x1000,I figured I could do better than just 10 alloys :) Increased the number of the alloys the user can compare from 10 to 12.

Fixed the bug in the steel graph help display function, where the help window was positioned incorrectly towards the right corner.

Not being a designer, and having rather insufficient graphics design skillz that is a real pain to work on UI improvements. And my creativity in that area is lacking too. So far as you can see my idea of good looking UI is black/metallic. Anyway, both steel chart and steel graph got new control panels with vista Aero looks. There's still some quirks to work out, but overall I am happy :) That and I fixed minor bug in the generated HTML code syntax in the graph builder.

Fixed the bug in scaling algorithm of the steel comparison graph builder. The problem was that during the graph scale calculation all of the value groups were taken into account, while correct solution is to ignore the values that will not be included in the graph. Which is how it works now.

Fixed the bug that I found yesterday and mentioned in my last nite blog post. Alloys with a space in the name were unable to display notes tooltip. Works correctly now.

Actually newegg sucks. Charged me 3$ for expedited processing, which is hardly ever done by any other online dealer, just to "try to ship the same day"... Pfft, and still they delayed it by one day and send it today. Now, I won't get that by the weekend and upgrade will be delayed till the next weekend. Well, I guess I'll install the stock card as is on Monday and then see how it works until the weekend, and then install waterblock on the card, flash the coolant, replace some tubing may be...
