Wasn’t there that long…

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Well, we didn’t stay as long as we had hoped… long story I don’t want to go into. We also never made it to NY at all. But, the bright side… we did make it back in 15 hours, not bad going through rain, fog, rain, more fog, etc.

The Kill of the Lich King Video is up, you can find it under videos, then to UNITY Videos.

Other then that, not much else going on at the moment. Still waiting for Jobs to call me (if they will) and still applying where I can. Hopefully I will get a call today from a small business I am interested in.

wow… alot has changed….

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

As most of you who know me already know, I was recently fired from my job of over 3 1/2 years. I didn’t really care for the job
to begin with, something with dealing with 400 people a day, every day, just got under my skin… oh thats right….
I couldn’t stand the uneducated stupidity these people had. It makes me wonder if people are truly this stupid, how
can we ever hope for a better future?

Now that I don’t have to worry about rushing back home, In May is my Bro-Inlaw’s wedding in PA.
We are going to be there for 2 to 3 weeks, then over to NY, NY for a few days.

Our guild has finally downed the Lich King on 25normal, so we have been working on hardmode’s lately… and so far so good.
We still have along way to go to get all the hard modes down… but it will happen.

I will have the video of the LK Kill out soon, so keep an eye out.

Hello 2010

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Time flies, doesn’t it?

Christmas was awesome this year.
Big Family gift was a Brand New PS3 Slim 250gb.
PS3 Slim
I got a 1.5TB SATA Drive with an External eSATA/USB2.0 Enclosure with Fan
17-173-042-18.jpg
1/15 Scale Back to the Future DeLorean
BTTF DeLorean
Blue LED Binary Clock, The World of Warcraft Legandary Hunter T-Shirt, A bottle of Bacardi Long Island Iced Tea made with 151 (YUM!)
and an Otterbox Defender iPhone Case, and more then enough Candy and Chocolate to last me awhile.

It’s looking good to get my car repaired and back on the road in Feb.
I can’t wait… I’ve been wanting my car back for too long.

I hope that this year turns out better then last… But with Big O in office, and the Majority of the House controlled by the D’s…. it’s not looking good

wow… time is flying…

I can’t believe its been so long since I posted. Its been quite the ratrace around here for
Christmas coming up. I Opted to put off repairing my engine in order to have a nice
Christmas this year… But no worries, I should be able to start the repairs on Calista
In Feb. 2010.

I am, however, very happy. I got Ubuntu 9.10 up and running, And last time I tried running Linux,
Ventrilo did not like Wine at all. However, It is up and running, there are some small issues, but nothing
I can’t get used to. Also, World of Warcraft runs Beautifully!

Expect a Nice post after Christmas!

It’s been too long

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

It has been awhile since I have updated, I think its about time don’t you?
As my previous post stated, I got an iPhone 3GS, and I love it. I no longer run out of ram, or have slowdown
with jailbreak/heavy theme anymore.

I started working with the type of iPhone themes which use Catagorys to make a nice and sleek look.
Here is my current theme, which I took one and modified:

2009-10-31 02:36:48 -0400

The background, if you are wondering, is the Crest of the Night Elves of World of Warcraft (my toon is a Night Elf)

Talking about World of Warcraft… I, and my guild, UNITY, got Realm First kill of Algalon the Observer 25man

Other then that, not much else has been happening.

Thats it for now, Hopefully I can keep updateing more often.

iPhone 3G Stolen… Hello new iPhone 3GS

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Yesterday… My iPhone was stolen. But that, in turn, caused me to get the new iPhone 3GS… And after loving the 3G… The 3GS is just soo much of an improvement. The speed and reaction of the 3GS is so much better. I am actualy writing this post from my new phone… And it can actualy keep up with my typing speed… Where as the 3G just did not. The camera and video are also much better (3G had video recording if you jailbroken your phone)

One thing the 3g did after it was jailbroken… Is there was very noticeable lag of applications… Navigating the screen, etc. However, the 3GS… Where their is some noticeable lag…. Is no where near as bad as the 3g.

I am almost happy that my phone got stolen or I might not have ever gotten the 3GS and enjoyed the very noticeable increase in speed, reliablity, and reaction time that the 3GS offers.

Keep moving in the right direction apple…. Just one thing though… Tell AT&T to quit ripping off your users! :)

Calista Needs a new Head Gasket

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Well, its been awhile since I have posted. I have been having an Overheating issue with Calista (my ‘96 Polo Green SVX LSi)
Lately, and After doing some testing, Buying a Block Tester, and testing it 3 times, I found I do have a Compression leak.

The bad part is… I have never done this much work with an Engine before… Let alone pulled an Engine out myself.

I have decided, I will plan to take 5 days off, do to this Slowly and Correctly. This will be one hell of a learning Experience for me,
and I will learn more about the SVX, which is never a bad thing!

Wish me luck… I know I am going to need it!

P.S. Expect a Long post, and lots of pictures when I get this done!

Windows 7

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Well, I’ve been trying Windows 7 that Microsoft released to the public. So far… I have to say… I am impressed!

The Speed of it is amazing, It has all the fancy features of vista, but the quickness of Win2k.
I am very very happy with it, and I feel Microsoft is finally
going in the direction they need to go.
I can’t wait to goto 4gb of ram, it already flys on 2gb, but 4gb, should be amazing!

Here is a screenshot of my Windows 7 Desktop.

And here is a pic of me stress testing, using 2 open copys of WoW, on 2 accounts, and Counter Strike: Source!

Ulduar is amazing, Life is going well, but COULD be alittle better…..

Friday, May 8th, 2009

The Newest Raid Instance of World of Warcraft, Ulduar, is amazing. The Stratagies required for boss kills is Refreshing after Naxx was such a letdown in terms of Difficulty. It reminds me alot of the SSC/TK/Hyjal/BT Days of BC.

I am learning more and more everyday of how amazing Jennifer realy is. She still finds ways of reminding me that. I don’t even want to think of where I would be without her.

Now…. if I can just get the Damned Central A/C to work better in the new office, so it doesn’t Avg an 80+F Temps all day!

Interesting last 2 weeks….

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Work has been insane. On days we expect it to be slow, we are so bussy we can’t see stright… and then on days we expect it to be bussy, its slower then the comcast turtles!

Other then that, Life is good. I already have the first 3 payments on my loan set aside, so I dont have to worry about it for awhile. Next goal is to upgrade the Audio system of the new 96 Polo. I dont want that “So Much Boom your ears bleed” sound, just overall upgraded from stock. (that, and the old cd player just refuses to play 90% of the music cd’s I burn)
