Eve News 3/2/10

2010-02-03T12:38:00.001Z

So, i shall try to do a daily update of eve online as best i can

todays map:

So today our war with UK starts, for me im not so bothered as i plan on leaving quick to skill upfor a good few days, while mining on akoya for a good few days. The alliance hopes to do a good bit of damage to UK on the logistics side, by disrupting their supply chains and killing any mission runners using small fast gangs of stealth bombers etc, shouldbe good

currently training cybernetics V on quickshot89, while im training cybernetics IV on akoya89. Id like to have them both with +5 implants so i can get training done quicker. I will be moving akoya into t2 building soon too, few more mining skills and i will be happy for her to mine in Amarr space, which should just be the t2 asteroid skills.

well thats abit it for today, not much else to talk about as the war has started.

The iPad, A success or a money absorber?

2010-02-03T00:59:00.000Z

Apples latest device is a hand held tablet that is set to change the computing industry. For months now experts have been stating that apple will be releasing a device in similar expectations to the iPhone, which is one of the quickest selling devices. The iPad is a mobile device with a large touch screen that is similar to the iPod touch in the way it works, however the screen now supports 720p videos, a must have for all those gadget lovers. The list of features is impressive, but that’s where the problems just start. With net books being the choice of many for small cheap and portable media devices with web access, the iPad was suppose to support many different functions, such as multi tasking, but for some strange reason, apple have left this out. Why, we just don’t know. It’s a shame as many people would want to listen to music while surfing the web. Will this stop the highest of hardcore fans, probably not? Now let’s talk about how the device connects to the web. For starts the basic version only has wifi, and the much more expensive iPad has a 3G connection, but this is only able to use 3g with a micro SIM, and of course, no company will let you get this without some form of lengthy, rip-off contract. So, with the list of problems stacking up, can we say the market is ready for an expensive, basic functioning device for more than £500? Or are you paying for just a money sucking object? Apple needs to sort it out.

not sure why im posting this, i guess it just as i have alot on my mind at the mo. for starts this post is just to vent some steam off, in no means is it how my current life is atm

well for starts, im apprenetly a lizy little shit according to both parents, so yay, go me, in one part of me just wants to do something stupid and the other part of me just wants to give up, as i just cant be fucked anymore. i have way to much shit going on and keeping it together is damn hard as it is, its been a shit long week and im to tired to do anything, let alone go into uni tomorrow for shit web development, i mean whats the fucking point, he doesnt teach us anything to begin with. what a fucking prick. good thing is i have work tomorrow, so least i have that to look forward to.

completed halo wars today, was a good ending, loved the final cinematics where the spartan team fuck over the elites, was very very nice.

not sure what else to post atm, like i said before, this is just to help me vent without doing something stupid and doing more harm than is already done.

illness FTL :(

2008-12-04T14:30:00.002Z

Its also snowing outside

sundays, oh they are boring!!

2008-11-30T13:52:00.002Z

Well its sunday, im logged onto eve, sitting in my hulk mining veldspar for the insane amounts of trit i need, and there is no-one from the corp online, and im getting stupid eve-mails saying a POS needs refueled, which i cant do fuck all about. Oh well, shit happens.

Im trying to do my xmas shopping but websites are down so i cant buy fuck all until they fix their servers.

1st week of uni

2008-10-05T13:10:00.002+01:00

Well i had my 1st week of uni today, and while it was very fun, it was quite hard to make sure i was out the house by 8am every morning, as i have to catch the 8.06 44 bus :( but anyways, enough of that.

Im loving the modules so far, playing with the lego mindstorms is my fav lecture easily, ive got a few sound files which im going to load up tomorrow to make it sound cool, (think wall-e ;) ) while i have to try and get the robot to do a triangle, which is harder than it sounds. Web development is boring, but i guess i have to learn the basics. Ive also signed up for the cisco academy, so will be doing CCNA work for the next 4 years.

Im still playing eve online, its getting much better now, set up my own POS, making lots of iskies in game by ratting and doing lvl 4 missions for the navy. Im still wanting a CNR, i just dont know when i will get one yet.

anyways, back to cisco website to do work, will try to update this as i go

update

2008-06-24T10:20:00.003+01:00

well i thought id update this now seen as its been ages and youlesy has been bugging me to do it, so here it is

/post

haha, that would be mean. So here is the rest of the blog

Ive had all my exams over the past few weeks, ive basically done alot of work for them, which is why my online gaming has been pretty low over the past few weeks. Apart from eve, but more on that later. Exams started off with the Core 4 exam, that was annoying, very bad questions came up so im not very happy about it, but as long as i hit an E in it ill be happy. Next was the stats 1 resit, that was fantastic, sooo easy apart from 1 part of a question, which i almost got the answer, i just got stuck on where to go from where i was. Then it was half term and had a nice week to revise for core 3, which, i think went much better than the 1st time i did it and it was better than core 4's paper, so im really chuffed about that, and that was the end of my A2 maths, w00p. Teachers had been great in the past few years, no doubt ill bump into them 1 day again. So seen as maths was done, i had to prepare for my chemistry exams. !st exam was a resit from last year's summer, and bloody hell, i didnt relise how simple it is, its GCSE chemistry + abit more (although i dont think the doc would like to hear that) so i sat that paper and was well proud of myself, hope that boosts my AS grade to at least a B. Next was the resit from Jan this yeah. That meant the stuff was quite fresh in my mind, but i still needed to work hard to improve the C i got on it last time. SO i revised hard, at exam, and was quite happy with it. Then it was time to revise for the big one, final exam of A2 chemistry, everything we have been working towards for the past 2 years, sounds dramatic doesnt it. The biggest challenge of the exam was remembering the tool kits, which is basically a big diagram of reactions with conditions and reagents required. SO to do this i made a nice big hand made version on my wall. I think that helped alot in the revision, if im showen the product and starting product, i know how to change them now. SO on thursday last week sat that exam, i think it went ok, but i guess i wont know how ive done in any exam until the summer. I just got to hope i get the grades for uni, which i should do.

Right onto the gaming side of things. Ive been playing alot, and i mean alot (like 4 hours each day easily) of eve online. Its damn addictive now, bought a GTC (time card) with in game money, so my in game wallet now sucks, for now at least. im currently training for a sleath bomber, I probally wont use it that often if i buy it, i would just like it ready for future stuff such as a war if we ever get into one. as a small gang of stealth bombers would be hard to kill. So im stuck using my raven until i can get a HAC. i plan on getting a freighter one day too, but im not sure how i can use it to its full advantage, i guessi will need to get 10 slots running to make things all the time to get enough cargo to fill it, or i can keep building cruisers like i have been doing and move them, which, is worth it. I plan on entering FW in the not to distant future, as i want to have abit fun with my fellow caldari, but more to come on that in the next few months.

well that should be enough for now, i cba to say much else

well, one more thing, prom was fantastic, got some good pictures, might upload them but they are on facebook anyways

final sentance: We are the State, and we have claimed our long-lost homeland. Now we are at war.

blah

2008-04-14T22:34:00.003+01:00

well i havnt made a post in ages, felt as if i should post a new blog as a few things have gone on n stuff

well first, i totally fucked up my exams, well, its not that i fucked up rly bad, i just didnt do as well as i should of, which is very annoying

second, eve is fucking mint, 26 days from a hulk, which means once i have a hulk i dont need to pay for eve every again, which is cool. The corp also got fucked as we had 3 other corps declare war on us, didnt really help us at all.

third, ive decieded i am going to go to prom, and i think i know who im going to ask to go with me, just got to find the right time to ask her, so yay!

fourth, im home alone tomorrow night, which sucks as i wanted to go to the firestation for a steak >.< but thats not gonna happen now :(

well apart from these ive just got lots of revision to do, and lots of cod4 to play

and thats it for now

meh

2008-01-29T19:05:00.000Z

thought i should make a new post seen as i havnt done one in ages

well the past week as been, well, crap

Theres been fuck all to do apart from play halo, eve online and go to college, and just abit chit chat on msn. Im looking forward to the KH night out in feb, im not planning on going until like 7ish, not sure how im gonna get back home yet however. I need to try and get more money so i can pay for some things.

I got myself a new desk, makes my room look alot bigger now, which im glad, still need wall mounts for my screens, but thats not important. Network cables are finally done, thank fuck, i was sick of being blamed for the internet going down, so its not my fault if something fucks up. I found my office disk, so im gonna install office soon onto my pc again. Eve online is just kick ass atm, so much fun and very easy to earn isk(the ingame money) im currently training my skills up so i can afford the bigger mining barge, which will take time :(

I havnt seen any of the old mates in ages, its really annoying me, i feel as if im drifting away from everyone. A txt now and then wouldnt go amiss. I think ive pissed some of them off, but im not sure, and i know fine well some of them probally just hate me from what i said to them, but hey, better out than in i guess, like i said in a pevious bloog, if they dont like it, then thats not my fault. Well meh.

Not sure what to do tonight, i wanna play halo, but im sick of the amount of cheating in it, its just pointless, no wonder COD4 is higher in the most played now. Speaking of COD4, gonna clean up my room so i can get a copy of it, seen as i finished my exams i asked for sumik to keep me busy, and well i wanted COD4 seen as i didnt get any games at xmas.

Well thats it for now i guess

chemistry is finito

2008-01-22T13:52:00.000Z

well i had my chemistry exam this morning, and OMG, no EP theory at all, im not happy, i revised it alot, but then again, who cares, simple exam XD. i hopefully did quite well

just got ict revision 2night, so im not looking forward to that

gonna go play on eve for a while, just 3.5 mil needed for my battle cruiser insurance and another 250K for ammo etc

byes for now

20/01/2008

2008-01-20T22:43:00.000Z

its been a good day so far, just really been playing eve online and revising for exams on tuesday. only 1 mil isk to go and i can afford the ship, but i will probs get more for the insurance, so its really 3 mill i need

and i relised today that i havnt regretted what ive thought of people, if they cant handle that then thats not my fault

woop

2008-01-19T21:39:00.000Z

been playing eve online all day, its been great, made around 6mil ISK, so ive got 8.5 mil atm, only 12 more to go until new ship. Best way to get the cash is an easy level and use a salvage module, which salvages items from the wrecks, i can easily make half a mil per mission this way :)

anyways, will post again tomorrow

all maths exams are over

2008-01-16T09:52:00.000Z

finally, the hard exams are done. so ive bought eve online again, will only have it for a few months so i think thats fine

core 3 is done XD

2008-01-12T00:43:00.000Z

well thats another exam done for now, i really hope ive done well, as i dont want to resit it, as i dont want to :(

my zen is taking the piss, its rebuilding the libary but its taking ages :( so im not happy about that

not much else to say atm, been a boring day tbh

core 2 is done

2008-01-09T16:20:00.000Z

well my 1st exam is over, thank god, it was really easy though, i quite enjoyed it tbh.

now time to start revising for core 3, thats gonna to be a nasty exam i think, although i am feeling confident about it, as im aiming for a d/c in it, i can revise as hard as i need to on it. Going to start tonight by doing 1 or 2 past papers, then just play halo for rest of the night, as i have tomorrow to finish that off

i really want to play eve online now, im very tempted to say sod the wait till after ict4 and just get it next monday, but no, i think abit of GS whoring would be better for me

going to go add a few people on live tonight also, yay, more people for me to pwn XD

woop for 2008

2008-01-02T19:31:00.000Z

finally, a new year, means i can start afresh in my eyes

sorry if ive been moody over the past few days, with revision and other things happening its just been getting to me :(

1st exam is next week, joy, its only core 2 so it shouldnt be that bad, but then its core 3 on friday, so im shitting myself over it

finished all revision notes for all exams, gotta get them checked by the teachers to make sure they are right however :( but once ive had ict 4 and chem 3 checked its all good.

i downloaded the client for eve online the other day 1.2gig it was, took 3 attempts to get it, bastard internet. so yeah, will be getting that soon XD soon as ive had my ict exam im playing it again. hopefully i will have it for around 4 months. but maybe 3, depends on exam dates etc in the summer. James is also gonna get it, as he has people who play it from work, so hopefully will play with them. Need to raise in game funds for my raven though :( so that will take a while, but i have my miner ready for that.

bought myself a new messenger bag as my RvB one hurts as it is american and they dont do comfort there :( bastards have too much fat on there shoulders to pad it out, while this one is made of softish material, so thats gonna be used to carry my files and books, and then a laptop when i get one once i get a job again XD im gonna go look at jobs in argos maybe, it seems easy enough to me.

well thats about it for now, im gonna try and do more blogs this year, didnt do many last year. so yeah, t'ra

cured for the moment

2007-12-30T16:38:00.001Z

well my head doesnt hurt as much, my neck doesnt feel clogged up now, all it took was a hot drink of blackcurrent squash, lol. still might try asprin disolved in water though, that might help more.

helicopter outside is much easier to control, as long as there is no wind i guess or it would be screwed, battery drains quicker outside though, so ive left it on charge and come inside to make this post

not long till new years eve, hopefully will be quite fun :P

ill >.<

2007-12-30T12:09:00.000Z

well im starting to feel ill again >.< probally due to my sister being ill and she coughs everuwhere without covering her mouth, so yeah, my immune system is on overdrive atm, so i feel shit. i think its just more dehydration and a warm neck that is wrong with me, should clear up after a day or two. Gonna try to get some ice-cream to cool my neck down, and in turn that cools my head down, yay.

So much going on atm, ashliegh is moving to america in the summer, so ill never properly see her again :( i have so much revision to do atm, its a pain, 5 exams, all have to have note cards done by today, soi have a week to revise for core 2,3, and stats. its really really getting to me now, even more that i feel like crap :(

well thats it for now, might go practice my skills flying my helicopter for abit, but really need to get some food down me, i havnt eaten much in the past few days

cant wait for new years night out, will be fun

<3 at last?

2007-12-25T23:12:00.000Z

maybe its just because its christmas and everyone seems to get love at christmas, but i think i may of found love at last :S im really confused atm thou, not sure what to do

help??

System overclocking

2007-12-20T11:40:00.000Z

decieded to do a mild overclock today, check out the results of a 20% overclock on my cpu

w00t

2007-12-18T15:16:00.000Z

well turns out w00t is the word of the year, so have a happy w00t, haha, never get old of that

well havnt made a post in a while so thought i would. Its been a good week so far, got my motherboard back so have full function of the DH remote which is fucking awsome, so much better for using my pc, but i need 1 last thing for my pc, media centre front panel, which is gonna cost £50, so i will have to save for that >.< server also needs changing as the ip settings have fucked up since i upgraded to a faster LAN, bugger or what. not long till christmas now, Still not sure if im gonna go out on xmas eve, might go for a few drinks but not too many, as i want to get the last bus home, so im gonna stay out till 11ish (i say that now, but i know fine well its gonna be later) just the taxi fare's are gonna be a con that night, so fuck them.

Currently sitting on the 360's dash listening to cascadas new album which i like, its got some good tracks on it, others annoy me. Finished my map for sunday, ill post some preview pics at the end of this so anyone who looks on here can see.

Revision sucks, big time, ive done so much towards maths and im still no cleaer, although stats is starting to make sense now, as i just need the forumlae to do the questions, such as Sxx and Sxy etc. cba to learn them as i know i get them in the booklet. Havnt started ICT yet as i have plenty of time for it, but will make revision cards for it after christmas.

more stuff from play came though, my HD-dvd's i think were in the packets, the price sounds about right, as we got 10% off everything, yay! just got to hope my dads stuff gets here in time, cos its uber.

well thats its for now, and as prmoised, pics of my map, (edit: blogger being twatish so just click the little boxes under here and the pics will open in a new window/tab, i will try and sort it later after i get a haircut)

Its freezing today

2007-12-13T15:30:00.000Z

well its bloody cold today isn't it :( woke up late so had to rush to get to 1st lesson, again >.< im not liking my sleep pattern atm, its driving me nuts

anyway, im suppose to be getting my motherboard back today, but city shite aka city link havn't arrived yet, so im not happy, + im getting stuff tomorrow too, so its not good if they don't come, as i will have to wait until Monday when no-one is in or ring ebuyer n demand a sat delivery, which i refuse to pay for as stuff would be 2 days late. so Meh?

ive built a few maps on forge since the new maps came out the other day, 2/3 race tracks and 1 football map, they are all good fun, also started work on my super uber secret map, which people will see on xmas day hopefully, if i get it finished in time

next Thursday the bayage reunion drink, that is gonna be fun, having a drink with all those people i ain't talked to in a long time. not sure if im gonna go out on xmas eve thou, id rather wait till new year and i don't want a hangover on xmas day, cos i wont enjoy the food.

youlesy is in a mood again, he needs to stop regretting stuff and just move on, we've all had to move on from loosing out on things, gonna try and get him to play some halo tonight to help get his mind off things after ive done some revision

well thats it for now, i have to go to Northumbria uni for a health talk, might try n find Hannah and laugh at how drunk she will be.

laters

great, yet another crappy day

2007-12-09T22:38:00.000Z

well i thought yesterday was shit, today was just crap

got up at around 9 as i couldn't sleep anymore, even though i went to bed at like 2am. so i had a fry up for breakfast, thought to myself today looks as if it will be good, as i never get asked if i want bacon etc, its just the normal you wern't up and we shouted, well dur, if im asleep i wont hear a thing will i, ffs, and the parents call me the stupid one. so i had breakfast up stairs as i wanted to watch 300, which im hopefully getting on HD-DVD for xmas. so then the rest of the family go off to coscos for shopping and food, without me, even though i asked if i could go as i wanted a crate of cider. So yeah, no drink for me yet ¬.¬ Nest thing is i start watching star wars, but i start to have a hypo, so i wander downstairs and have 3 biscuits to raise my blood glucose. I then watch the rest of star wars, then turn on this program about satellites and shit, which i found interesting. then once that is half way i get asked how many eggs i want with my chips, and then i go down and get them, then i get shouted at for stealing a flake and eating the biscuits. im like what the fuck are you on about, i have no idea where the flakes are. then im told you must of cos your sister hasnt taken any so it must be you. so then i got angry and told em to fuck off. which seems to happen alot now, which is kinda depressing, alot infact, very depressing. so now ive just been in my room doing fuck all, so now ive decieded im hungry and went for some food and a hot drink to help me sleep, which doesnt really work very well tbh

oh yeah. youlesy wrote something nice about me

Adam Gardner
Other wise known as quickshot89, quicky boy cumshot69, mr noob and my personal favourite adum berdum berdum lol. I think Ive known him the longest out of my best friends =D I met him in cubs when i started off up here and didnt have much communication with him til explorers where nearly every week we'd bring an xbox and play halo, actually one of the main reasons hes a hero to me is because he introduced me to xbox live and halo 2 and without that in my life i dont know what i would of done [it ranks up with high near to friends but not as close as jenna =P] Also he likes naruto so theres a lot we can talk about, oo and Guild wars, I miss playing that with him, but Im at a stage where my character and my heroes suck so i hardly play now. =/ He is also great to get advice from or jst have a good chat, hes mostly a calm person [cept when yelling at me on halo <.<] and gets the shittest of luck =/, but he keeps moving on =D. He's 18 in his 3rd year of college st thomas moore catholic school and is planning on going to uni next year, hes got diabetes, which is a funny story ill tell later, and a super cool setup. I hope he meets that special someone (Y).

so that cheered me up for abit. i think im just gonna have to plod along for the next few months. i think i will go to prom again this year, already have my eye on a few girls who would be fun to take, not gonna do nowt yet, wont make the same mistake as last time though.

well thats it for now, gonna go listen to the classical soundtracks from movies and games i have, and then in the morning its collage 1st thing, will probs go to big tesco for lunch and maybe buy a bottle of magners for the night time to help me sort things over in my head, or just drink it while i play halo

Really bored

2007-12-07T22:18:00.000Z

I cannot believe how bored i am tonight, really, its just sodding horrid

Cba with xbox live at, pc is shit as I've had to send my mobo off, and now theres no fucking ice cream left, fat arsed family :@ and i really want a drink, but im too lazy to go downstairs for the coke and then reach for my southern comfort :( im feeling rather lazy too, i wonder if thats the problem with me not being able to sleep.

I think im gonna go listen to all my classical sound tracks, like the stuff from POTC, halo, LOTR etc, that should help me waste time

really wanting a job again just to meet new people

less than two weeks to the bay reunion tour, cant wait for that, as ive decided im not gonna drink until then, well, go out drinking at least :P

well i think that is about it for now

-Adam

Bugger, but a good bugger

2007-12-05T20:58:00.000Z

well i have decided to send my mobo of for replacement, as its not working properly, so its being sent back to ebuyer

other news, i have conditional offers for all uni choices, which is great

woop

and the server is fully finished, heres a pic of it

Gah

2007-11-23T16:26:00.000Z

Well seen as i havnt done a new entry in a while, i thought i would, few things have happened since my last blog, so i thought i would write about them

1st: server has gained more software, now i have FTP that will save me so much time, still lots of more things i want to test on it thou, but more to come i guess

2nd: 2v2 is tonight, me and youlesy are quite happy that we trained alot y'day, and we are getting some final practice in tonight before the match at 10pm. We should have a good chnace, as we both know each others strengths and weakness's, for example, im a moaning twat and youlesy doesnt listen to where i say the other team are. So yeah, thats gonna be fun

3rd: still no call back from pc world :( although i am not giving up hope yet, they did say a few weeks, so there is still hope. Its not that I need the money, it would just be nice to be able to go out more

4th: matchbox360, its a piss take over there atm, no-one can understand that an AR start is just as good as a BR start, id like to see them use the same logic on a game like CSS for example, they would just be laughed at, as you should work for a better weapon, not be given it to start.

well thats it for now i guess.

and i have a new quote i like: Side by side, we march as one

pretty much sums up how things should go tbh

Home Server Part 3

2007-10-22T15:44:00.000+01:00

SO its time to configure the OS once its installed and updated, im using ubunutu for this server

first go to system, admin, and click on shared folders, and install the packages it wants, you normally click ok

then open up the shared folders application, click on the wired (or whatever way you are conencting to the network) and click properties, from there, name and comment the folder in the correct field, then uncheck the read only tab, and then click ok

we now want5 to assign a static IP, so go into system, admin, and then network

from there you want to click on your connection, properties, and then change it to stsic ip, and add the correct ip address, im using 192.168.1.11 for my servers, and all other computers get from 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.109 before going any higher

this step is not required, but it helps alot IMO

go to system, preferences, and then remote desktop, and change the options to the same as the screenshot below

to connect via windows xp.vista, download the following program http://www.tightvnc.com/ and follow the steps on it,

next comes the hard part, open up the terminal by going to applications, accessories, and then click terminal

in the terminal, type each of the follwoing lines, and click enter after each line

sudo mkdir /home/public
sudo chmod 777 /home/public/
sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf_backup
gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

then find this line

; security = user

change it to this

security = share <- notice there is no semicolon, the colon should be removed

now go to the end of the docuemnt, and change everything below [public] so it looks like this

[public]
comment = Public Folder
path = /home/public
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force user = nobody
force group = nogroup

then save and close the document

go back into terminal, and type

sudo testparm
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

and there you go, the file server is ready for action

i have yet to figure out how to disable the username and password on startup, i will update below once i learn how

but for now, thats pretty much how to build a very cheap server for the home, ive spent around £40 on this, so its very good IMO

Home Server Part 2

2007-10-22T13:45:00.000+01:00

Right, its monday afternoon, and ive finally got a chance to say what ive been up to this morning

I started the day woken up by angry parents complaining the postman woke them when my stuff came, 3 parcels, 1 for the cpy, and 2 for the various mobos i bought

I looked at the different socket A mobos i got from ebay, and decieded the winfast k7s was a good enough board for what i wanted, so here its is

Next i checked to ensure the cpu was in good order, which it was

I then placed the cpu into its socket praying to god i didnt bend a pin

Then the heatsink/fan combo went on, that cost me £4 from ebuyer brand new, so its worth remembering cooling is a must and it should have a good bit of money set aside for it

next on went the front panel conections, the most annoying part of any build, unless you have an asus board, where you get these easy connector things

and then on went the IDE drive cables

The next part was the worst, would it boot??

well thank god it did, and its very quiet tbh, even with the side off i can only just hear the CPU fan. Linux is easy to install, its just like installing windows, boot, insert disk, reboot, boot from disk, install and then customise

i will update once i have finished the OS side of things

Home Server

2007-10-19T11:04:00.000+01:00

well today is the day i get most of my 2nd hand/new parts for my servers today, i cant wait to be playing around with linux remotly, its costing me around 120 for 2-3 servers, depends on how i use the parts tbh, as my sister needs a new pc, so she might end up with an amd socket 754 while i use socket A for the servers. linux itself is great for this sorta stuff, anything you want to do can be done on linux, as its openware, there is a massive community behind it. A couple of people on matchbox are also interested how this turns out, so i will have to show them how it turns out.

and if you are wondering why socket A, its simple, it is dirt cheap to get the parts. I have around 4 socket a mobos that i can choose from, and 1 socket 754, ill probs end up with 2 boards spare that i will give a clean and a test, and then sell them back at a small profit, which is reasonable i think, as i bought 3 mobos for under £30, thats including P+p via royal pain. will update with pics and more notes on how the builds go

update 1: pic of the case and the inside so far (not alot in it atm)

holidays

2007-07-25T01:28:00.000+01:00

Well i am going on holiday this thursday, i cant wait

if anyone needs a pc problem fixed, let me know before i go so i can try to help you, i just dont get how some people cant screw windows so bad =P

meh

2007-07-08T00:51:00.000+01:00

my life sucks, i cant do anything right

Eve online

2007-07-02T13:39:00.001+01:00

well i kept my promise and i bought eve online again, its a really nice game to play when your bored, got myself a few new tricks that ive noticed (thanks to azure for the help)currently just mining for materials atm, as its an easy way to get money, so im saving up for a mining ship, which will allow me to mine like a bitch for an hour, then rake in loads of cash :) gfx are superb, even better on my new pc. 20 euros to reactivate my account, boyah!

End of exams

2007-06-30T22:21:00.001+01:00

well exams are finally over for good, now im back to where i was a year ago, but things are alot different, from me feally confident in myself again,and to my social life picking back up.

on the pc side ofthings, finished my new pc, specs are as follows

Ez cool G5 Case; P5W DH; E4400 ; 2Gig corsair 667; Igreen 600W; Seagate 320; X1950pro; 2x DVD-RW; artic pro 7 cpu cooler;17" tft, MLK blue keyboard and mouse OS: vista home premium

quite a nice setup tbh, will take a picture of it later maybe, i really like how its only cost me around £700 and thats including vista and a 2nd screen, which isnt too bad. just a few things to buy as extras, and then once 1TB drives come down in price i will buy 2 of them, mainly for video editing, as i plan to get back into that

work wise its getting great, finally feel as if i know everyone in my department, and the fact some of the people are great, you know who your are. i can deffinatly feel the whole work thing is helping me get ontop of my diabeties, feeling alot stronger now

just a few things to really sort out now i guess.

will try to update again tomorrow, as i have plenty of time to myself for now :)

beta goodness

2007-05-19T10:05:00.000+01:00

well the halo3 beta came out the other day, and it rules

im currently a grade 2 corporal which does take some time to get to, but not that long, the game rules, i love the ATV, me and youlesy abuse them to so we can get to places fast, think the ghost - weapons, and you have the mongoose which rules!!!!!!!!!!

meh, time to go play on the beta for a while, then go to work :(

full ATX FTW mini ATX FTL

2007-05-03T23:04:00.000+01:00

well ive finally started putting my new pc together, and the mobo is great, lots of features on it

but now ive been able to get the lighting working, had to stick mobo in, which im not bothered about, as it rules

pic below is when its lit up :P

sorry

2007-05-02T13:34:00.000+01:00

im guessing sorry wont do the job, and i understand if you hate me, and i guess im sorry that i thought id be the one who could take you to prom, and im sorry for alot of things that ive done, and i guess me saying i was jealous isnt an excuse for what i did, and i know what i did was wrong

i guess the one thing i didnt want to happen happened, and thats what hurts the most

Wow, im a lazy git, and happy new years day

2007-01-01T14:43:00.000Z

well ill start off by saying happy new year everyone, hope you have a great day

and back to the boring bit, realised I hadn't made a post in a month :0 so i thought id make 1

well, its been a good sort of month, finally got my 360, which was a good deal, £280 for full 360 + gears n vegas from Pc world, so im happy, the 360 itself is brilliant, easy to set up, recovered my GT within 0 mins, didn't realise I used the wrong symbol for 5 mins thou, which annoyed me somewhat. But it was worth the wait i guess, as gears is the best game ive played in a long time, i guess only the 1st time i played halo2 can come on par with it

speaking of halo2, i officially suck at it atm, as the control scheme is nasty after playing gears, cant get the look inversion right now either, which is a pain, what i will have to do is to reset myself to play both games inverted, and that will take some time

on the collage side of things, my revision is going well, i have my chemistry test on the 11th so im working on that mostly, then i have my ict 1 resit, followed by ict 5 and then D1 maths, ow the joy

and finally, being single sucks, especially for new years time as well as other parties, gets really annoying to be the only 1 whos single, grrr

meh, thats my ranting done for a while, check out my 360's blog, its better than mine
