Tonight's drink with dinner was Pacifica.. now I'm working on a Shock Top. Those two brands willl have to do for the next few days until I can get to Boundary Bay and pick up some more Scotch Ale.

I got a used Dlink DWL-2100AP wireless access point for free because it had some issues. I was planning on putting either DD-WRT or OpenWRT (both...

I like watching Family Guy. I think it's funny (stupid funny) and I get most of the references. However, I do NOT like American Dad and I can't stand The Cleveland Show. I think all three are made by the same people yet I only like one of them. What's the deal? I'd say it was that I only liked the "original" but I like...

I used to write a lot of poetry but quit sometime ago. As of late I have had trouble expressing my feelings and learning to let things go. So last night I decided maybe it is time to try some simple, ugly poetry.

Keep in mind this is a small piece of something that is two full pages and growing.

The title is "Broken" and...

The wife is out of town for training and I thought it would be great alone time for me. I planned on relaxing, doing some homework, watching a movie before bed, etc. In reality I didn't do any homework, I watched only a little bit of TV while I ate dinner, and when I lay down the bed feels big, cold, and empty. This is...

I'm only one week into this quarter and I'm ready for it to be over! I think it is safe to say I hate all my classes and am finding it very difficult to do the readings each day!

I feel like part of me wants to just quit school completely, but I know that would be worse in the long-run. I keep telling myself...

I've been playing my PSP a little bit lately and have found some old arcade games that were ported. Also as a followup to one of my previous blogs, yes I did find the original Paper Boy for the PSP: it is part of a pack called Midway Arcade Treasures. The game is so old, but it's still fun to play! Ah.. the memories of...

Spring break is so nice and badly needed!

I haven't done jackshit all afternoon and I don't feel bad about it! I might even blow the dust off the ole PSP and play a game or two. Does anyone know of a PSP game that is similar to the old Nintendo game Paper Boy?

Stopped by Hollywood video and picked up Boondock Saints II. Anyone...

Been a while since my last post.. been extremely busy! The good news is that tomorrow morning is my last final for the quarter! Then I have a week off from school before resuming Computer Science classes next quarter. I am excited to be back in CS and even more excited to NOT be taking any history courses for a while.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

For the movies pirates out there or those of us who have homemovies on their computer and want to make them into a DVD that can be played in a normal house-hold DVD player: how to use Linux to make DVDs from a video file (any format).

So I have a ton of movies in various formats (mpeg, avi, mov, wma, etc.) on my computer...

As part of the final grade my in History of ancient Asia, I have to do two map identifications. Basically everyone in the class is given two downloadable maps that looks like shit and don't match anything (for reference). One map is of mainland (i.e. China, etc.) and the other is an ocean view (for Japan). Then we were all given a list of 64...

I love VirtualBox! While it isn't perfect, particularly when trying to attain reasonable USB 2.0 speeds, but is such a great application. I've used it for a couple of years for various things, but this week I've started to use it very heavily. My biggest use this week has been as a clean environment to scan files from a very badly (virus) infected computer. I...
