8:22 pm	MechWarrior 4 on Vista/Server 2008 Install Instructions Vengeance and Black Night worked fine. But Mercs posed a problem, until I did some digging in the system logs and it lead me to this post: x64 Version Mercs Problem Gotta love DRM... So I no longer have the MekPaks, but I'm gonna see what the NBT patches do for that or MP4... Current Mood: tired Current Music: Interia Creeps - Massive Attack (Comment on this)
7:08 pm	The bird... An interesting take on a classic... And a nerf whish list... They forgot the one rifle, but its real power came out when modded, if it didn't shatter as a result Current Mood: tired Current Music: The Memory Remains - Metallica (Comment on this)

11:00 pm	I beat the XBox version of number 3... Why must they be so confusing? Why must a double bed be too short for me and too wide for my room? I pretty much have to get a twin extra-long... Gonna be interesting. Also been playing through the MechWarrior 4 games for the past week. Still need to get mercs installed, but it was well worth it to have that level of amusement again. Now I just need to get into online mode again. :) Current Mood: amused Current Music: Monster Hospital - Metric (Comment on this)

11:45 pm	Ummm... Houses are migratory... In other news, my weekend was pretty dull, but at least Friday was interesting. Went up to Burlington, had a picnic lunch on the way. There was a jazz festival going on downtown so I stopped and watched a few shows. I then went to Quarterstaff Games and discovered it wasn't the booster-draft week that I though it was. I ended up playing random games with people that got byes in the tournament. Afterwards I meandered on back to my apartment. I also hate the last level in MW4:Vengence... You get done kicking ass and then have to solo a Daishi... not fun when your already beat up from dealing with a dropship. Now if I can just get MW4:Mercs working and also find my Call of Duty Discs... Current Mood: bored Current Music: You got the magic - Jade 4 U (Comment on this)

9:17 pm	Our annoying society http://www.powells.com/blog/?p=6721 An interesting post with some interesting comments. I sit here at college thinking the same thing. They cut the CS/CSIA department down to a staff of four, and yet there is almost 100 people registered for the football team at a school of 2000.

7:44 pm	Geek Knowledge 64 Things Every Geek Should Know I knew 1-7, 9-11, 14-16, 18 by a different method, 19-21, 23-27, 28 if you count Bork!,Bork!,Bork!, 29, 31, 35-40, 42, 45, 47-56, 61-64. So 40 out of 64 (if I actually did the math right). Kind of scary... I have a desk, a dresser and a real entertainment center enclosure now. I just need to acquire a real bed at some point and hope that my phone is activated on Tuesday like they said it would. Current Music: Pride - U2 (Comment on this)

11:48 pm	First Night in the Apartment First night in the apartment I am renting until December. Furniture's pretty sparse, mooching the neighbor's wifi at the moment, heading out tomorrow so that I can get the rest of my stuff. Need to purchase food, a desk and phone service. Also a twin extra long mattress. Current Mood: tired Current Music: 107.1 Frank FM (Comment on this)

4:30 pm	Bill is satan From: John Barnett In the computer industry Bill Gates is known for his ruthless chasing of competitors, buying out of other companies and producing rival products to those who dare to differ from his opinions. I now have conclusive mathematical proof that Bill Gates is in fact a beast: here goes. Take the sum of the upper case ASCII values of BILLGATES and the total is 663: B + I + L + L (66 + 73 + 76 + 76) = 291 G + A + T + E + S (71 + 65 + 84 + 69 + 83) = 372 291 + 372 = 663. Since Bill Gates is the third William Henry Gates to grace his family, we add 3 to the total and get 666 - the number of the beast. Proof if proof were needed. :-) http://monster-island.org/tinashumor/humor/billbeast.html Current Mood: amused Current Music: YOu- Switchfoot (Comment on this)

1:41 am	This guy's a fortune teller... http://www.wimp.com/robertwelch/ He brings up some rather interesting points.. A bit of an odd speech, but some interesting points. Some of his ideas are quite improbable to achieve these days, but they are very interesting. Current Mood: thoughtful Current Music: Sugar High (E.P.) - Splashdown (Comment on this)

6:14 pm	Saturday Boredom This was the end result of my boredom earlier today. One Maxtor Model P1-17S, Serial Number 2J04005439, 1.76GB Hard Drive Converted into a speaker. I also tried to convert an old Seagate of similar vintage and it didn't work out. Current Mood: bored Current Music: Happy? - Mudvane (Comment on this)
