Update

I want to update this blog more often, since people still read it, but I don't really have anything to say. I figure posting nothing is better than posting "Nothing new today" 100 times.

Well, I linked (some of) my old screennames on my AIM account and was shocked to see how many buddy names got lost in the transition to my new name. Damn Trillian.

I also got a PSP (with 2gb MSD), and put custom firmware on it.

Otherwise, not much going on yet. Farmer's Almanac claims June should have two huge rounds of bad-ass thunderstorms, so that may be interesting. I still post storms on YouTube (or LiveVideo if its too long to fit on YouTube), so I'll post them here as well if I get any good video.

Um, *thinks*. I'm back on Vista. I was on XP for a while but it keep getting slower, and slower. At the end point it took about 2 minutes after Windows booted before it even activated the network. So I just reinstalled Vista. Now that I have 2gb ram, it doesn't suck so bad. Besides, I don't really use my computer hard-core like I used to. I play PSP and PS3 most the time now.

I caught up (almost) on bleach. I got to where it'd seem the new season started (like ep 116 or whatever) and just lost interest for the time being. I don't know.

Flag Day Parade event is June 9th, maybe I'll record and post some footage from that, I don't know.

Anyway I'm just mindlessly rambling now so I'll go. :)

Update

I should post more often. Heh. Hmm, I last posted about a month ago so I'm not doing too bad, it wasn't 3 months.

Anyway yesterday XP finally died. I spent about 12 hours installing Gentoo just to get pissed off at it and grab a HP recovery disc. Apparently it was the Vista disc. Oh well, Vista isn't too bad this time around with 2gb of ram.

In other news, I got my PS2 modded, and I got a PS3.
And a Zune.

No, I'm not rich, far from it. In fact, the last hurrah, the PS3, actually set us back some, but it was my birthday, and as mom said "fuck it, you only live once".

Oh, and I didn't get the video card I was going to get in the previous post. In fact, I didn't get any video card. I don't game enough of my computer to care really. I did get the RAM though.

Um, can't think of anything else. So, see you next time I remember I have a blog, hehe.

Blah

Wow, it has been a while. I noticed my blog was a bit broken when it was a free account since the paid features were gone. All fixed now.

Anyway, this morning was a bitch. Why? Well, imagine booting your computer and getting this:

Yeah, it wasn't fun. Sometimes I got that, sometimes I got the BSOD, and others it just rebooted without warning. But I managed to fix it completely.
It involved alot of rebooting, hair pulling, cussing, file scanning, registry hacks, tweaks, and some disk checks.

Yeah. What happened was I was having a problem with VMWare. The installer crashed midway through, then it worked the second time. So I thought nothing of it and rebooted like it asked me to. Well, that is when it started. Long story short, I had to manually hack the registry to go into restricted areas (had to give myself access) to forcefully remove the "VMNet" driver (VMWare's network device). Then I tidied up a few things and now Windows XP is as smooth as a clean install, but without having to spend 10 hours reinstalling all of my applications and games.

Also, since it has been a while since I posted, you probably haven't seen my new computer. Well, here you go:

And here are the specs:
HP Pavilion A1710N Desktop PC (AMD Athlon Processor 4200 Plus, 1 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, SuperMulti DVD Drive, Vista Premium) (I ditched Vista and replaced it with XP)
Acer AL2051W 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Geforce 7300GS 256MB DDR2 Pci-e
EARTHWATTS 500 Watt ATX12V V2.0 Psu (Mine is only 430w and was the same price. FU Staples!)

Here is what I have left to get:
1gb RAM (DDR2)
PNY GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB Video Card

Well, take care :)

I live

No, I haven't died... (hey I heard that boo)

I just haven't been updating. Big surprise, huh? Well I been playing FF12 (no, not on a Playstation 3). I don't think I'm going to get a Playstation 3, but who knows.

I have no idea what I'm doing until the income tax comes and we see what we have left after doing things we gotta do, like paying debts, fixing the car, ect.

The primary focus for "toys" is a new computer (either laptop, prebuilt desktop, or build my own desktop), not a Playstation 3.

I'm going to wait on the Playstation 3 for a while. I may pick up a Playstation Portable though.

Not much else going on, preparing for a massive update on Sakura Radio's radiobot music. Otherwise.. yeah.

Well take care and see you in 2 or 3 months, haha.

kawaii-radio

^.^ I've been developing a bunch of stuff for kawaii-radio. I don't know. Creative urges ^.^

You can download it here if you want.

As for the icon, my ISP keeps losing packets. I'm going to tell them when we go to pay the bill to get out here and fix their crappy lines.

Playstation 3

So, the PS3 comes out in 4 days. And I cant get one for 2 months :(

Man, I want one so bad. It can run linux and has access to all 7 cores. Just imagine the possiblities. That and Final Fantasy 13. I haven't played 12 yet, and probably won't be able to until I buy it along with my PS3, since I don't even have a PS2.

I been working on designing stuff, keeps my minid off things.

Check out http://zefie.com/files/zmi/ .. I've also been designing stuff for kawaii-radio.

Anyway, take care, thanks for reading. I'll tr to update more often, since I'm not on YouTube anymore, hehe.

World of Warcraft is still a feeling

Been playing World of Warcraft again. I started a little after the Youtube drama, to help get my mind off things. This time I seem addicted since I made a few friends on it, and realize how polite the Blizzard staff are.

For those of you wondering, I play Mantia on Cenarius. I also have an alt, Manta, on the same server, but I barely log in as him. He is mainly for creating stuff to make $ lol. Both of my characters on Cenarius are in the Alliance.

When I'm not on Cenarius, which is rare, I am on Earthen Ring as Mantros (Horde). At the time of this post, Cenarius is down for extended maintainence, so I will be on Earthen Ring today.

Any of my friends reading this who do not have World of Warcraft, and would like to try it for free for 10 days, let me know. Blizzards now offers a "Recruit-a-Friend" option, where I can send you a 10 day trial key, as well as a link to download the client.
