May 17, 07 Hiding in Sonoma Well here I am once again writing a blog, I know it's been a god long time since my last one. Finally I'm down in Sonoma Cali with family and of course there teeny weeny dog, who by size looks innocent but on the flip side can clear a room when he has gas.Despite being in Wine Country (Napa is just next door) this pup loves to hide under blankets, coats, pillows and such and feels like an over active heater whenever touched. You have just got to love him though. Well there's no games to chat about or tech to review, I've been slacking as you all well know by now but I'll try to update people when I get the mood to do so. So until next time, cya later. |
March 29, 07 Back to Age of Empires DS **I've spoken up about this game before in prior blogs on prior sites however I'm not able to (or just to lazy to) find my old blog about this game so I'll give you a quick recap about it. **Age of Empires for the DS takes a live action game based on domination into a turn based on, with success. With one drawback, glitches. **The glitch? The game locks up, dumps your saved data, can't use the "Save and Quit" feature successfully. Oh all these problems are known to the Designer's and there "looking into it" on there forums, however if you really read ALL OF THE FORUMS you will notice gaps in the postings. These deleted post's are really people stating what the hell is wrong with the game, and here's the fix. 1. Use more then 3 digits for your profile name, longer the better in fact. 2. NEVER use the "Save and Quit" option in the game. 3. Save your game only using the "Save" feature at varous points in the game. 4. When you are done playing, "Save" your game and turn off the DS manually. **With those four steps you can save yourself alot of swearing and bitching. Sadly this is really a great game that I find myself coming back to again and again. If you can live following these four steps your will be rewarded with a really great game, dispite it's glitches.

March 26, 07 KBTC, PBS channel. **Ok I know it's been awhile but hey, I got back into playing World of Warcraft again and it sucks up the time. So here's my rant now. **Around here the local PBS station has a special marathon of the old Dr. Who episodes which everyone goes to watch on. It's a fan/cult thing really. Kicking back and watching the old series, laughing your butt off and enjoying the old shows for what they were. But not anymore. **For some damn reason KBTC thinks that their viewing audience, who coughs up 15k every six months in donations just for Dr. Who wants to watch the "new" episodes. You know the ones, around here you can watch them on CBC Canada ch. 99, BBC America ch. 162 and of course SciFi channel ch. 59. **Honestly, why in the hell would I want to donate money to a PBS station to watch what has already been on cable 20 plus times per episode? Pulling off the old episodes has not just pissed me off but other's who have donated the cash to WATCH them in the first place. **People have commenting on the down slide of KBTC and honestly I have to fully agree now, the first clue was seeing KCPQ ch 13 doing weather reports on the PBS channel. Not really what I wanted to see. Well KBTC likes to say that we are lucky to have two PBS stations in our area (KCTS ch. 9 being the other one) however if your gonna show shit on your station, well expect shit for your donations.

March 15, 07 Ceedo, overpriced **For those of you who know me, you already know that I do a great deal of my Internet Surfing and Chat from my USB Flash Drive. Ceedo is another product which places these programs an in easy to use "User Interface", much like U3 (which is hardware related) and Portable Apps (which is FREE Software related). **Here's the big difference with the three of them. -U3, Hardware that comes on a USB Flash Drive. -Ceedo, Software Program that you buy for 34 bucks and use on your USB Flash Drive. -Portable Apps, Free Program that you use on your USB Flash Drive. **So far I've used Portable Apps and I love it, very easy to install, use, add programs, find new ones, etc. Tried out Ceedo and well it's not so easy to use, installing it took a few minutes too long for my liking and I couldn't add other programs to it like I could Portable Apps. Seems that all the programs you can use on it need to be first downloaded from there website, Firefox which I use all the time took 8x longer to install on Ceedo then on any other USB Flash Drive. **Overall I would suggest skipping the purchase of Ceedo, it's too much for something you can get for Free and even get a better deal, other programs you can use on Ceedo can cost you even more then the app itself. Do yourself a favor and check out Portable Apps, you will love it. Cya Later |
March 09, 07 Friday night blues **Another SciFi Friday is here and sadly there's not a damn thing on SciFi that I or any of my friends care about to watch. Ever since they shit canned the two shows (Sorry, actually NBC cancelled the shows since they own SciFi channel) and moved Battlestar Galactica to Sunday there's no reason left to really watch em. Dr. Who you may say to me is on SciFi channel, true. It's also on BBC America and CBC Canada, so why waste my time with SciFi. **I've put the lil yellow birdie on double duty to find new shows to watch and so far it's BBC America and random shows that they have on, most are worth watching but it's a hard thing to follow such a winning line up that I used to watch. **That's it for now, I'll hit you all up next time on what Laptop PC's I've been looking at and which one I'll end up getting later on (hopefully). lol Cya Later |
March 03, 07 Directions to here **Well I've given directions on my old blog today for people I know who did actually read it on my old server. Hopefully they will stop by here and make my decision to move a more comfortable one.** In time to come there's bound to be better stuff to chat about here then just moving my blog and of course, bringing over some of the prior post's I've done in the past as well. Who knows I may even talk about some really interesting stuff again on here, lol. **I've gotten back into playing WoW lately (World of Warcraft), got a new Guild up and running and so far I have some really good players on it. I personally have no limits on the Guild so much as who can join, but I do keep it decent chat wise, no being down right mean to people and if your just a casual all round good person you will go up in ranks. **Off the beaten track here, found a good deal on Phillips energy Saving Marathon Bulbs at Costco, $11.95 for 8 (13w replacement for 60w), where other places want $6-$8 a pop. Well for now I'm gonna bolt, check a few things out and maybe, just maybe have something worth while next time to say, lol. Cya Later |
