Went to get more RAM to Play EQ2 (video card was $400) and wanrted 2gigs to aid in game loading times.

ram was $239, but I can’t use 3 slots on my P4 2.6 motherboard, because Intel sucks ass, so I got a AMD processor ($250) and a AMD motherboard ($90) but the thing would not boot so I got a better power supply ($80) still would not boot then I found out I forgot a power connector lol, then it beeped, had to search the internet with my working MACINTOSH and found out there is a motherboard bug with this processor and a patch so I had to remove my old 1 gig of ram to get it to boot, which is WHY I GOT ALL THIS SHIT IN THE FIRST PLACE lol, so now I have to wipe my hard disk and reinstall everything from scratch (just did this on tuesday when my other HD crashed) becaue AMD and Intel so different can’t use same XP and BLAH LOL, 3 more hours maybe I can play my FUCKING GAME again. EQ has cost me $1000 in upgrades lol.

Yeah, PCs are cheap. lol

The Register reports on a interactive urinal cake which when peed on, will not only deodorize your urinal but will also sound off an ad for you.

Can’t wait till the wi-fi phone based urinal cake is developed. http://www.urinalshots.com/ here we come.

The Register reports on how a Toshiba TV cries for help. This is awesome! Interesting out hour wave space is overlapping at random times.

Reminds me how Simeon’s Mac Plus with a bad analog board was killing our appletalk LAN and I could not figure out why the problem stopped promptly at 5:30pm every day. LOL

Just got back from the 39th MacCamp. PMUG rocks This was the first camp I had taken my G5/LCD screen vs. my TiBook. I was able to join in the melee in the gamers cabin (this year in Blueberry cabin) and take on Monroe, Erik, Sandy, Peren, Marcel, Rick and the likes. We played Halo, UT 2004, Soldier of Fortune and the uber first person shooter, Tiger Woods Golf. Hey Erik, how’s the beach?

Erik taught a great class on color magic and showed off IQ Match, which looks very promising. You can accurately preview your images in any Colorsync aware application for any profile, say a spot printer that your print house has provided a profile for. It does much, much more as well.

Charles, Janet, Peren et al did a grand job on getting us set up, the food was excellent as always and we even had a music cabin class. They held several jam sessions, which I missed as I was on a KILLING SPEE. Yeah! Damn you Monroe and your flying knives of Ginsu badness!

I don’t have any pictures from camp, but I took a few from Erik’s class, which most were in RAW because that way it does not mess with the color gamut, which I had not thought of. I knew the image artifacts from JPEG compression, but the color gamut compression I had not thought about!

A friend told me to listen to some Poe music and sent me a Amazon link. ITMS did not have her, so I clicked a windows media viewer link.

Guess what it did? Amazon send me an application named “hurl.exe’ ROFL. So no, it did not work on my mac, and two how appropriately named for crappy technology.

I’ve sent Apple a request to add Poe.

Yes, this is legit. In this auction, Disneyland is auctioning space on the 1000th headstone at Haunted Mansion. Your name will be there for at least 10 years. Current bid is $4,650 and growing.

The Myst IV demo is out. They suggest a G5. What the hell? What happened to the old myst? You know, where the content was appealing, not the technology?

Myst should run on a color classic, make the puzzles fun, challenging, interesting. Don’t make it required a G5 to play. Sheesh.

Matt and I went to see Ying xiong (2002) (aka Hero) at the Marina Del Rey UA/Regal theater last night.

The story was great - The history of how China was formed through martial arts and fantasy. I highly suggest it.

The theater sucked. First, the god damned “20″ had perfect sound but the movie had a loud hum and the audio was quiet. This lasted about half the movie, with the occasional movie ad audio popping in as some moron flipped switches when he wasn’t spanking it to Angelina Jolie in Sky Captain playing in the next theater.

Then the hum stopped. Oh oh. Swords clashed and what had to be 120db plus blasted and crackled the speakers (or my ears) I literally had to plug my ears and I never do that. This then lasted for at least 5 minutes while Matt laughed at the stupidity of it all. Finally the audio level dropped to a normal level.

Of course, nobody was in the lobby when the movie let out. No UA heros that night.

I got a new lens for my camera to take some pictures of Mt. St. Helens during this recent event. I missed the explosion by an hour, dammit, but it was still cool to be there and witness the enormity of the mountain and how much devastation it caused in 1980.

Pam invited me to see Shaun of the Dead (2004) and am I glad I went. Aside from good company, this zombie flick is silly, bad, funny and even makes you jump a few times. I love cheesy movies and if you do also, be sure to check this one out. Just don’t let it bite you…
