Ok, I know I've said this before

But I can finally, truly, see the light where I have time to listen to podcasts again. I finally got a job and they let you listen to music, and other, while working, I just have to get through training first. It may yet be a month or two before I can get back in to the swing of things. On the other hand it might not take that long as I will soon be getting my own appartment and will have time to do what ever I want. I am currently staying with relatives in the city where the job is located. My cousin and I are working on putting together a minecraft server for one of us to host from our places of residence. We had a professionally hosted one with BroHoster, but if you have been following the the MC world, you know that they recently ceased to exist as a company. Fortunately we were able to get a backup of our world and we are going to put it on this machine to save money. We got it really cheap cause the screen is busted, but is still usable. So cheap in fact, that it will pay for itself within 4 months.

So, what am I doing at this moment? Relaxing after a long day of training, drinking a hard lemonade, waiting for my cousin to get back with a camera so we can have some fun with green screen. We are making videos for our gaming clan.

Alliance Trouny and a new rig

I know I'm a bit behind but I still not quite finished with the Alliance Tournament, I know that it came to a final showdown between PL and Hydra with PL taking the victory.(I was rooting for Hydra) But I have not had the opportunity to watch it. Where I am currently staying has poor internet speed and so I was unable to watch live and it takes about an hour to load one of the videos in HD(the only resolution at which I can read the words) so I have been watching them at work. Needless to say this takes some time due to obligations that come with remaining employed.

In other news, I finally finished my new gaming rig. Only to have the power supply unit(PSU) fail on me within 24 hours. Thanks to the wonderful people over at Newegg I can get another one exactly the same for no extra charge (not even shipping and handling due to the product being defective) it will just take about another full week to get shipped there and the new one to get back to me. So, on with another week of waiting. I will post some screen shots when I have it up and running with the awesome graphics of EVE cranked up to maximum.

I am working on another in character post, this one about my first (beyond a cov ops) foray into wormhole space. I will post it in the next few days.

The Next Step

HAHA! I found a great deal on a hard drive! 1.5 TB for a mere $80 US. Newegg had a sale and I snapped it up, it's a good brand too.

I am so very proud of my self to finding this deal. If I can find most of the parts I was going to get anyway on sale...I could save a good deal of money.

After this part arrived, my boss let me borrow one of our computers that weren't being used to plug this in and go ahead and install all my stuff to it. It now has Windows 7 and almost everyone of my games.

Making Progress

New Rig

This summer I am building a new gaming computer rig, it will take a bit of time to earn the money for it, so I will be buying each piece one at a time.

The first thing I bought was the new Microsoft operating system, Windows 7. I bought the 64 bit version so I can use more than 3 measly gigs of ram. Instead of purchasing it from microsoft, I went to ebay and bought just a CD-Key for $50 US. I will use the disk I burned for reformatting my laptop a few months back to install it.




The first step is so tiny it's almost intangible, but it IS a step.

New Purpose

Ok, so trying to write an entry about every single adventure I had grew to be too time consuming and I burned out quickly. So in an attempt to resurrect this blog I will set an easier goal, only 1 EVE post a week(minimum). In addition to that, I am going to follow a friend's example and write about some of my projects that I'm working on. I will be using different tags to allow for searching for specific entires)

The first project I'm going to write about is already under way so I will make several posts now in order to get caught up. I will also be making posts about some software that I am writing and will be writing, and anything else I decide to take up working on.


Hopefully this "re-launch" will gain a bit better air than the first one.
