Am I a God among men? I like to think so.

... When it comes to computer wiring at least. Wish I had my camera handy for some before and after shots of my handiwork.

So my dad was having some heat problems with his comp. Apparently his evil CPU managed to get itself to 190*F temp's... I know P4 Presscots get themselves hot, but come on, that's nuts. So I worked my magic; started by clearing out the dust in the heatsink fins (wasn't much, but still there), then I spent an hour doing a pretty damn good wiring job if I do say so myself :P

After the usual post-operation complications that always seem to happen whenever I touch a computer, essentially in the time that it would have taken the CPU to reach 160-170*F temps and continue to climb, it was only at 140 and holding steady. Hope it lasts, an hour of messing with god forsaken IDE cables has to be good for something, right?


So, ending this self bragging show, on a random note, I turn 17 this Saturday, w00t! Got my eyes on a nice new camera, a Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd. 6 megapixel, 10.7x zoom, very nice camera, but seems to be a bitch to find. I've already gone to Costco and Best Buy looking for it, but all I could find was the Panasonic Lumix LZ7 (or Lx7, I forget that second letter), Sony Cybershot H2, and the Canon S3IS. All 3 are good camera's, yes, but they all have noise issues at or above ISO 200 (especialy the Panasonic, noise at ISO 80, screw that), where as the Fuji S6000 only has lightly noticable noise at ISO 400, and still tolerable even at 800. So that's the one I want :P


That will end tonight's random post. Goodnight, my legion of evil stalkers.

Gimme some music

I'm getting in to Trance. Gimme some artists to check out. So far I've checked out DJ Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren, and I've become addicted and want more. So drop a comment or pester me on MSN with some recommendations!


So, on other random notes... hmm... what to bore you stalkers with... got some fun scheduled for Eve tommorow, hope I wake up in time to play with my craptastic Caldari crap I kitted out for reasons I won't specify here (I pray it goes BOOM tommorow, wish me luck). Knowing me though, I'll just go back to sleep =\


So, uhh, hmm. I guess that's it for tonight. Go stalk somebody else now. Go! NOW! Before I hurt you.

Well, that was pretty awesome

How's this for a great day in Eve?

So I log in, and I'm in Taisy. Nothing seems to be going on, so I start playing with Quickfit, and shortly after a corpmate sends me a gang invite. I accept, hop on Ventrilo, and ask whats up. We're jumping a gang next door in M-O. We have 1 BS 3 cruisers 1 inty, they have 3 BS and 1 cruiser 1 inty. Do we have balls or what?

So we jump in. Right as we get there, they jump in to Taisy and hide. Sissies, all of them! Well, 'cept the crow, he stuck around to watch us.

So we start camping because we have nothing else to do. I get scout duty, so i jump in to E-O and sit on the gate. The Crow jumps through.

My Ares vs his Crow. Backup 40+ AU away next door. This... doesn't end well.

Just as my Ares pops, my backup jumps in, and of course the Crow escapes. Yea, great start. CCP, if your reading this by any chance, NERF THE FUCKING CROW OR BOOST THE FUCKING ARES, I DON'T CARE WHICH BUT DO SOMETHING.

*ahem* So anyways, I promptly leave and get my Vexor. True to the core gank setup. All tech 1. Suicide ship? You bet'cha.

We go back to camping. This time i get some kills. First on the chopping block: a Myrmidon. Died rather quick, dropped some nice toys. This next kill however, is where things really got nice.

A Drake warps in to our bubble. We gank it. Very quickly. It sucked. I'm first to the can. What do I see in the loot? "Kaikka's Modified Shield Boost Amplifier", "Dread Gurista's Large Shield Booster", and a couple of T2 Heavy Missile Launchers that go for 10 mill a pop. Since when does this stuff NOT explode? I quickly scoop the loot, scream on Vent what I've got, and promptly run the hell away and dock to drop this wonderful loot off (not before i thanked the pilot in local though ;) ), and came back to kill more stuff.

Things were dull for a while from there. Jumped back and forth with a few enemy BS's trying to be cocky, a few false alarms, that sorta stuff. Then we decide we're gonna call it a night. We warp to the Taisy gate... WHY HELLO THAR! Raven, Tempest, Maelstrom. All T2 fitted. All sitting on the gate. All lock me.

We have:

1x T2 fitted Tempest
1x Omen
1x Prophecy
1x Curse
1x Stabber
1x Vexor (mine)

They all lock me. They all ignore me. Yay for T1 cruisers. They go for our lovely Tempest pilot (two went for him, one went for another of our guys), who quickly gets knocked to structure (and is lagging to hell), but he reps himself up and the fight commences.

Primary target: Maelstrom. This baby took a pretty nice beating, but went down eventualy, with me doing the most damage to it. Thanks for the Tech 2 loot!

Secondary: Tempest. Ok, what the hell, was this a cruiser or a BS? It dropped in under 20 seconds, with me at the #2 spot on the killmail. Thanks for even more Tech 2 loot!

Tertiary: Raven. Didn't take as long as the Maelstrom did to kill, but still required a bit of a beating. Upon inspecting the loot and the killmail, he had two stabs on. Fucking Caldari pussies. But all the more Tech 2 loot to throw on to the pile. T2 seige's, T2 invulns, that kind of stuff.

What did we lose in this fight? Absolutely, positivly, nothing. Not one friendly ship went down. Regardless of the fact that this was easier than NPC'ing, thanks go out to Morsus Mihi for the fun fight (and the loot), better luck next time. Thanks for sparing me the trouble of NPC'ing. And props to Kessah, for having the damn best freaking Tempest Eve has ever seen. I wanna get me one of them!

Speaking of which...

Am I the only person that DOESN'T have a Myspace page? Honestly, I swear, just about everyone and their dog has a Myspace these days. What's the big deal? I've seen what Myspace pages look like, their fucking UGLY! Not that Blogger is any better...

But seriously. What is it with that horrible website? Why are people attracted to it like flies? I'd rather stab myself with a fork than have a Myspace.

Yea, I'm bored

Thats why this place exists. Meh. Let the rantings begin!!... after I figure out what this button does.

More or less, this spot is just for me to post random things on whatever I'm thinking about at the moment, and for friends of mine to drop comments, keep in touch, that sort of thing I could easily do with that dirty website Myspace. I just don't want to deal with a hundred 12 year olds adding me to their friends list. Do they really think I give a fuck about them? Really?
