I hope they send it out on monday at least, I got express post. This is actually way more interesting. Exactly what I said needed to be done instead of Hearthfire in Skyrim.
Love Fallout. Have to say the story doesn't grip me that much either though. The fanatic ignorance of the poor graphics is pretty amusing. Edit: I'm comparing it to F3 it looks the same, no real advancements , and other new games like FarCry 4, Witcher 3, etc. This isn't a pessimistic view I don't think, rather a objective one, it's pretty clear the graphics engine isn't new or of the same quality as other new games just look at the CryEngine for Pete's sake.
Painting it as just overly pessimistic griping to defend the game as a whole despite it's obviously poor graphics is initself a very biased view. A thing is composed of parts, some of those parts can be critiqued whilst still appreciating the overall thing. It's really not that complicated guys, I think you're Fallout fanaticism is getting in the way of your logic and reasoning.
I am a massive Fallout fan, by the way. Not yet, at least I can't see the preload on my steam preorder. Yeah it looks like a typical pile of Bethesda ass but considering the minimum requirements announced for the latest Assassins Creed game is like 1 step below my PC I'm kinda ok with it. That said smooth and realistic animations shouldn't really affect performance and anyone who says Bethesda isn't the absolute worst in the industry when it comes to animations is blind.
Remember the dump jumps in Skyrim that made your character look like they were taking a mid air dump? Imagine how much more awesome it would be if it looked as beautiful as the CryEngine, is all i'ma saying! As for the animations, I didn't notice them being sub-par until you guys pointed it out, I guess I've set the bar low for Bethesda, at least in regards to visuals.
I also see the shortcomings in the graphics in the video at least, disappointingly i can't see how this is any different to the last Fallout game. Still rad roaches and bottle caps ill warrant. I've just spent the last hours being spoiled by the Witcher 3 and its expansion - it's going to taste really sour stepping down to these character animations. The environments look spectacular, no complaints there.
Just same old-Bethesda characters. Not sure if it means preload is live, but greenman gaming just emailed me my fallout key, so I guess if its not live it must be soon.
Everyone stare disapprovingly at the preorderer. Just finished my Steam pre load. I cant wait. Gotta go to EB tomorrow night to grab my sons Pip Boy edition and another hard copy, then straight home to play Fallout 4. If you are at EB tomorrow night we will be the - old fart with two teenagers wearing the collectors' edition Fallout Four T-shirts I got sent over from Bethesda!
Kemudian meneruskan perjalanan lagi. Dari belakang, muncul lagi si Jazz giling tadi Artinya dia udah sempet berhenti di salah satu tempat istirahat juga kan?? Wong dia ngebut banget, terus kita udah berhenti sebentar di KM42, kok sekarang dia ada di belakang kita lagi?? Jazz giling itu masih juga dengan kelakuan yang sama Kalo dia sudah berhenti di tempat istirahat, harusnya udah ke toilet dunk??!! Artinya yang tadi mungkin bukan karena emergency, emang dasar nekat aja.
Nyetir zig zag dengan kecepatan tinggi banget tanpa lampu sen itu kan bisa bikin pengendara lain bingung, kaget, ya bisa memperkirakan sendiri deh akibatnya kalo pengendara lain yang disalib dengan cara seperti itu ternyata kurang sigap dan reaksinya "salah" which is yang namanya level kesigapan orang itu kan beda-beda, terus level kemampuan mengemudi orang juga beda-beda. Kalo mau nyetir seperti itu Tuesday, October 02, Pianis Narsis.
Salah satu yang aku suka dari Home Concert kemaren adalah: aku jadi punya fotoku waktu lagi main piano. Dulu pas kuliah pernah difoto sama seksi dokumentasinya rektorat sih, mungkin pas wisudaan, tapi pasti tertimbun di antara foto-foto dokumentasi lainnya deh Males banget mau minta, emangnya kita mahasiswa apaan dengan gaya bences.
Yang ini waktu main Winter Games. Takut rambutnya nyemplung ke sup… Mungkin aku harus lebih senyum-senyum deh kalo lagi main piano. Ekspresinya tuh enggak banget… kayak lagi terpaksa main Ini foto waktu pembagian hadiah Last but not least… yang ini adalah foto favoritku… Unik angle-nya Konon foto ini special… kenapa? Karena kalo anak kecil gak bisa diambil fotonya dari angle ini… hehehe…. Tuesday, September 11, Home Concert.
Hari Minggu kemaren adalah home concert pertamaku bersama tempat les pianoku. Sesuai namanya, Wisata Makanan itu adalah sebuah food court. Isinya fully makanan Indonesia, nyari kentang goring aja gak ada, tapi kalo nyari ikan dabu-dabu banyak.
Aku kebagian main 2 lagu. Kebetulan 2 lagu itu adalah lagu pertama dan lagu terakhir dari konser itu kalo lagunya kang Purwacaraka gak diitung ya. Lagu ini dimainkan bersama dengan 7 pemain biola muda kecuali mas-mas gurunya. Hihi… seru juga sih… hanya latian bareng 2 kali. Harusnya 3 kali, tapi yang pertama itu aku gak bisa karena urusan kantor. Yang kedua adalah Winter Games-nya David Foster. Lagu ini aku udah lama belajarnya, tapi gak pernah serius.
Gimana hasilnya? Lagu pertama bisa ditampilkan dengan lumayan memuaskan, tanpa halangan berarti. Tapi sebelum lagu kedua, aku terserang demam panggung. Malahan kalo udah kena lampu panggung, jadi semakin centil, apalagi kalo udah malem Heran juga, kok bisa yah Mules dikit sih, tapi karena makan makanan aneh. Waktu itu 1 lagu doang sih emang Asik juga sih Pas mau makan, megang sendok aja belum bener, tapi dia dah main ensemble gitar sama temen-temennya yang jauh lebih gede.
Lumayan buat dipajang di atas piano. Tapi ini masih begini-begini ajah nih Thursday, September 06, Kembali ke Dunia Blog Aku kembali ber-blog-ria lagi nih Setelah beberapa minggu menghilang. Hal-hal yang kulakukan selama menghilang: 1 Dinas dan jalan-jalan ke tempat aku mengambil foto berikut ini. Selengkapnya bisa dibaca di blog Catatan Perjalananku kalau sudah selesai ditulis ya, kalau belum Main 2 lagu. Ya enggak juga sih, sebenernya bukan pertama kali pentas dengan piano, tapi ini solo performance yang pertama.
Sekarang sudah waktu pulang kantor Badly need some workouts nih Aku baru nemu tempat makan enak dan gak mahal: Ta Wan. Dilihat dari namanya, bisa ditebak kalo resto itu menyediakan chinese food. Menu paling istimewa dari resto Ta Wan ini adalah bubur dengan berbagai macam topping yang bisa kita pilih. Potongan daging-nya yang tersembunyi di bawah bubur itu "bottoming" banyak banget. Bisa milih daging sapi, daging ayam, ikan, udang, maupun bebek. Buburnya juga banyak banget. Gak perlu khawatir cepet laper lagi eh tapi aku gak tauk ya gimana kalo buat yang porsi makan sehari-harinya gede banget.
Yang lebih istimewanya lagi: bubur ikannya tuh enggak amis, dan juga enggak "jahe banget". Aku pernah nyoba bubur ikan di "salah satu negara tetangga". Yah, namanya juga ikan, udah dari sononya amis kan, sebagai usaha untuk mengatasi rasa amis itu, buburnya dikasih bumbu jahe. Nah, kayaknya waktu itu jahenya tuh kebanyakan apa gimana, alhasil buburnya jadi pedes banget. Lebih mirip bandrek daripada bubur hehe berlebihan ya? Aku jadi gak bisa menghabiskannya karena kepedesan Sehari sebelumnya Ndulo udah ke tempat yang sama bareng ibu dan bapak.
Next time, mau coba makanan lain selain bubur ah Betah banget yak? Sudah 5 tahun berlalu sejak terakhir kali nonton movie-nya yang mengecewakan banyak pihak ityuuu. Surprisingly, sampai hari ini aku masih belum bosen juga Tapi berkaitan sama TNG tadi Misalnya: 1 Dulu aku lebih senang menonton episode yang action-oriented, tapi akhir-akhir ini ketika aku me-"rerun" episode2 TNG di Dell-Takodel-Kodel, aku malah lebih enjoy nonton yang banyak ngomongnya.
Karena ternyata, aku baru nyadar kalo dialognya tuh dalem banget, dan ternyata lagi banyak pelajaran-pelajaran yang dulu gak begitu aku pedulikan atau mungkin dulu aku gak ngerti kali ya?
Wil Wheaton adalah aktor yang berperan jadi Wesley Crusher 3 Data. Dulu aku sebel banget Data dimatikan di Star Trek: Nemesis. Sekarang, aku setuju dengan alasannya Brent Spiner pengen mematikan Data.
Meskipun aku tetap lebih senang kalo misalnya Data gak usah dibunuh, tapi gak usah muncul lagi di movie ataupun series yang dibuat setelah Nemesis. Karena Spiner benar tentang dia sudah sama sekali gak keliatan muda. Di Insurrection, meskipun sudah 49, dia masih bisa jadi Data yang innocent.
Tapi di Nemesis enggak. Setiap kali dia memasang muka "Data-with-his-curiosity-face", dia sama sekali gak keliatan "curious" seperti halnya di series ataupun di movies dan Garis-garis wajah Spiner yang emang menunjukkan umurnya itu 53 pada saat Nemesis membuat Data jadi keliatan "thoughtful", kayak si Data tuh punya beban hidup gitu loh.
Padahal kan salah satu hal yang bikin Data jadi so lovable adalah tampang curious dan innocent-nya yang menggemaskan itu. Jadi, itu tadi beberapa hal yang berubah ttg TNG.
Nanti aku teruskan lagi dengan cerita lain. Happy 20th Anniversary TNG!! Tuesday, August 07, New Star Trek. Aku bukan fans The Original Star Trek, akan tetapi Original Star Trek dibuat ulang..?? Dengan cast yang sama sekali berbeda kecuali Old Spock, katanya sih Leonard Nimoy juga yang bakalan main. Bakalan jadi seperti apa ya? Bisa gak ya, para penggemar Star Trek menerima, bisa gak ya aku menerima karakter Star Trek--yang sudah sangat well-established selama 40 tahun dan sudah sangat identik dengan aktor-aktor tertentu--dimainkan oleh aktor baru?
Gimana jadinya kalo Captain Kirk gak pakek gaya anehnya William Shatner? Apakah this new actor, whoever he will be, bakalan menambahkan gaya-Shatner-yang-aneh-tadi di penampilannya? Hari Minggu kemaren aku ujian piano. Laporan selengkapnya ada di sini. Hasilnya belum keluar sih. Tapi sepertinya bapak pengujinya curiga bahwa aku menyimpan toge-toge di balik bakwan. Tapi lega banget deh pokoknya. Oya, ini pasfoto yang kubikin khusus untuk ujian piano ini.
Harus ngumpul pasfoto, kalo gak ntar sertifikatnya ditempelin gambar sesuka hati bapak-bapak atau ibu-ibu panitia ujian Tapi heran juga, kok hasilnya bukan ekspresi jutek, soale sebenernya waktu ngambil foto itu aku lagi rada-rada sebel gitu deh.
Gara-gara aku mesti foto ulang. Jadi pas baru dateng di PIM, aku foto kan, katanya 40 menit lagi bisa diambil. Abis itu jalan-jalan dulu. Pas balik mau ngambil, ternyata kata mas-mas fotografernya file fotoku ilang!!
Katanya kompie-nya kena virus something. Akhirnya foto ulang, duh Ya udah, akhirnya foto dengan senyum terpaksa gitu deh. Tuesday, July 31, Gak Ada Boss. Hari ini gak ada bos sama sekali , jadi aja kita pada enak-enakan gak jelas. Bolak-balik pada ngomong: "Ke Dufan yuk hari ini Belum juga jam 10 dah pada kelaparan.
Kalo jadi ke Dufan gimana ya? Pas pak bos pulang nanti, dia bingung kali ya Kan kita bukan tenaga kerja yang harus dimandori setiap saat.
Tapi apa daya Bagian pertama dari posting ini ditulis sebelum jam makan siang. Selanjutnya ditulis setelah makan siang. Mentang-mentang gak ada boss, barusan pada melarikan diri ke rumah makan Aceh Koetaradja di sebrangnya hotel Oasis Amir. Jadi ceritanya tadi aku, Bi, Dudut, dan mas Iqbal berencana makan lebih cepat. Jam Pas nunggu lift, aku curiga Waktu sampe di lantai Ground, ketemu sama bu Elida dan mbak Ray. Ya udah akhirnya rombongan makan siang kita bergabung sama rombongan makan siang mereka.
Pertanyaannya: Siapa yang jaga kantor yak?? Makanan Aceh itu ternyata spicy semua. Lebih spicy dari makanan Padang, untungnya gak begitu pedes. Buat aku, semua makanan itu kuahnya sama semua: bersantan, tapi mbak Ray bisa bedain yang mana yang gulai, tumis, kari, pindang, dst. Aku ngambil kari bebek, pindang tongkol paroan sama yang lain , sayur nangka, dan mie aceh tumis. Yang rasanya paling di luar dugaan enaknya adalah teh tarik susu. Enak banget, kalo kata Bondan Winarno: "Mak nyus".
Lebih enak dari yang di Penang Bistro. Ya lah sama yang di Tamani. Ujung-ujungnya kita semua kekenyangan. Mulai pusing ngebayangin makanannya dikasih "bumbu daun yang itu" dan merasa bersalah karena menghancurkan program diet masing-masing.
Tentu saja: ngantuk. Lucu juga Sedangkan setelah kita balik nanti, orang yang lewat di lantai 10 bingung lagi: "kok pada tidur semua ya? Pulang dari Koetaradja, hampir kita langsung merealisasikan rencana ke Dufan. Tapi gile aje Itu mah cari masalah namanya.
Akhirnya kita kembali jadi pegawai baik-baik: kembali ke kantor. Bos-bos masih di luar kota kan? Monday, July 23, Muter Mall. Manfaat jalan-jalan ke mall, gak selalu buat belanja atau cuci mata, bisa juga buat olahraga. Pengen muter-muter di mall sampe pegel tanpa-belanja-apapun-kecuali-segelas-iced-lemon-tea??
Ternyata hanya ada rasa melon aja yang pint besar. Jadi, setelah acara di EX selesai, aku berniat naik busway ke Plaza Senayan. Dasar gak fokus, di depan EX aku hanya mencari jembatan penyebrangan.
Aku pikir semua jembatan penyebrangan punya halte busway. Tengok kiri, tengok kanan Ya sudah, terusin nyebrangnya, terus terpaksa deh, jalan kaki dari jembatan itu, on the wrong side of the street pula. Wrong side? Di jalan segede Thamrin gitu, aku lebih milih untuk jalan di trotoar sebelah kanan, supaya aku berlawanan arah dengan mobil-mobil, bukan berhadapan dengan knalpotnya.
Berhubung aku sudah keburu di sisinya Oil Centre, dan mau jalan ke arah Bundaran HI, terpaksa berhadapan dengan knalpot, untung jalannya sepi. Naik busway sampai ke halte Bundaran Senayan. Oya, selama ini aku selalu mengira namanya halte Ratu Plaza, berhubung letaknya di depan Ratu Plaza, ternyata nama resminya adalah halte Bundaran Senayan. Terus jalan ke PS. Langsung ke Sogo, turun ke Basement, karena seingatku Haagen Dasz itu ada di basement.
Ternyata gak ada. Nanya sama pak security. Nah, mulai deh terjadi kedogolan. Haagen Dasz-nya pindah ke Plaza Senayan Ini kan Plaza Senayan Ini bukannya Plaza Senayan pak? Tinggal keluar Sogo, lurus aja, ada bunderan, di deket situ deh.
Tapi… setelah jalan lurus, aku gak nemu bunderan… jadi bingung mau kemana kan… akhirnya aku muter-muter di lantai 1. Menyusuri gang-gangnya Plaza Senayan sampe membentuk angka 8 kalo ruteku digambar dari Sogo sampe Metro terus balik lagi ke lobi utamanya. Akhirnya nanya ke mbak-mbak bagian Informasi. Haus banget bok, tapi gak pegel sih, kan kemaren abis ber-spa-ria sama ibu ini. Jalan kaki tuh enak kok, asalkan gak kena asep kendaraan bermotor dan terlalu terpapar sinar matahari ajah.
Trus aku sampe rumah langsung leyeh-leyeh mendengar hasil ke EX, yaitu album Jim Brickman yang ternyata bertangan kekar Soal yang dua ini, aku bahas di blog-ku yang tentang musik aja yaa Kemaren sabtu aku ber-spa-ria sama si Sapi. Setelah luluran, kita dibaluri dengan masker putih. Aku iseng nanya sama mbak therapist-nya: "Ini bikin maskernya pakek apa mbak? Yang Full Cream?? Orang belinya aja di Alfamart. Mungkin bisa dikurangi bebannya, kalo sebagian bisa dipakek maskeran ya?? Jadi susunya tidak terbuang percuma, tapi aku tidak harus minum semuanya.
Friday, July 20, Tanggung Jawab Susu. Gara-gara gak percaya pada pilihan pertama, aku jadi harus bertanggung jawab menghabiskan sekotak gram susu merk P yang rasanya alamaaakkk Ceritanya gini, aku pengen mulai lagi minum susu. Tentunya aku cari yang low fat, karena emang gak suka susu full cream. Kalo susu full cream dingin boleh lah, tapi kalo susu full cream hangat males banget lah. Dari rekomendasi Buhay Hayat maksudnya , aku nyoba beli susu Hi-Lo, rasa vanilla, dengan gula.
Which I first saw on the cover of a UK bike Mag, years ago, I can't remember which, or exactly when, but I've wanted one of them ever since. A test drive on one totally sold me, but I just didn't have the funds at the time to indulge. This to me is my ultimate bike, especially as I'm getting a bit to fat to sit astride most modern sports bikes.. I'm at that, "that looks comfy" stage in my biking life. They are simply beautiful bikes, no where near as expensive as the Harleys they superficially resemble and also far more reliable.
The Mk3's and 4's are also great machines but for me personally not quite as appealing as the 1's and 2. Both are sub 30K mileage examples with regular servicing and covered storage meaning they are pretty much as good as they day they were made. They costs are low becuase they're not Hogs I would love to cruise down to Calais on a big beast like these get on the chunnel then cruise up to Bradford at the weekend.
Not sure its the most economic of the possible methods I'm looking into but it would certainly be the most enjoyable way to go home at weekends. The Dutch have a reputation for being blunt and direct, its not entierly undeserved though I think its more of a translation issue with their grammer. You get used to to the lack of preamble when they want something from you or are not willing to do something for you. It can sound direct, even rude but its just a different way of phrasing things.
They also have a repuation for sticky fingers, If its not nailed down the dutch will have it, bags,purses, phones, anything. If its not nailed down they'll have it Well, that's what I've been told, I really havn't seen a lot of evidence of this myself. Until I went to the supermarket yesterday and parked my bike outside, when I came out 10 mins later, some scrot had snaffled the new battery light I'd fitted onto the handlebars, just snapped it off the mounting and legged it.
I feel violated. Saturday, 22 November I had a dream. What is it about dreams, they clearly make no sense sometimes yet there's a whole field of psychiatry out there that specializes in dreams. I tend only to dream or to be more accurate, remember my dreams when there's a lot of drink involved..
So last night, I was out with Steve from work, and a lot of drink was involved. After calling it a night around 3am love this place : I went straight to bed when I got in. I'm out somewhere with Bina, and we get back to a hotel room, where after a kiss goodnight, she goes to a separate adjoining bedroom, and we both settle down so sleep "zo zis part is ferry interezting" "Why zo, I mean so? Without missing a beat I explain that Bina's in the other bed and he'll have to share my thankfully king size bed "and tell me, haff you ever had any eroteek dreamz about your bruzzer before" " it wasn't erotic, he just needed somewhere to sleep She then notices something outside the window..
And opens it and starts to climb outside. Her platform style 70's boots being totally unsuitable to the task. At this point I'm sort of a camera above the window looking out and I realize this hotel room is high VERY high up in the air; and she's dangling on a tiny ledge trying to reach over to a balcony where a chap is sitting having his breakfast sat on his deck chair in his white dressing gown.
She then tries to get back into the room, but just can't quite manage to find enough purchase in her platform boots on the tiny ledge and is incapable of hauling herself into the window which has somehow gone from being a step out window to being around chest height. Now at this point I'm starting to get quite distressed, and never having been too keen on heights when awake, I'm starting to get images of this woman slipping and falling miles and miles to the ground, so I get out of bed somehow and reach over to try to help her.
Col is in bed and complaining about trying to sleep and not happy about the commotion. I grab hold of her just as she starts to slip and of course we then end up with the classic guy holding strange large black women with tight skirt but magnificent boobs from this angle I have to say while she dangles miles in the air with her mouth full of cheese and bread and mumbling something incoherent.
Ok so this all sounds very comedic and strange but I was getting more and more stressed as the window frame starts to crumble from the pressure of me trying to pull this large lady in and and. And then I woke up I think trying to make sense of them is like trying to Friday, 21 November hmmm thats going to hurt later.
I thought I better warn you so you can skip past and wait for the next humorous installment of my life at a later date. The clock forward issue was annoying much more severe than I expected. I use Code Warrior for all my Nintendo DS coding hate the thing so much but theres not a lot of choice so having it refuse to work due to a license infringement its a free license Why a big deal, well the only official way to resolve the "system clock has been set back" infringement error Not really an option, especially at the moment as I don't have a backup system here its still in the UK so a bit of snooping around as I said before resulted in finding rTouch which will set the modification dates to current time.
Problem is I seemed to also have a lot of creation date set forward files, not all of which were easy to delete. Anyway to cut a rather long story short, as I have work to get on with. After deleting all the new created files pretty much all due to my installing Maya when I had the clock a month ahead I recursively touched every file on the C: Drive.
Took hours, and when it was done I had some strange behavior from the PC, fonts missing and so on, but a simple re-start cured that. And now CW is working We may find out how bad in a tearful posting next month.
I really need to get get my backup systems sorted out, I rarely have to use them, like most people. Thursday, 20 November Christmas flights booked. Jet2 have started up a loyalty card scheme where you get a point per pound spent! Once you have points you get free flights to lots of destinations. Of course Jet2 being Jet2, don't actually mention that the "free" flights means just the basic font page cost, you still have to pay all the taxes and baggage charges these annoying people charge which usually is the actaul cost of the flight But its still the easiest way to get home to see the family and take care of things in the UK so I'll grin and bear it for now.
Which reminds me When I was booking my 1. Didn't the UK government make some kind of promise a while back to stop this silly practice of offering 99p flights which were in fact 70quid or more once the various addons that were compulsory were added?
What exactly is the problem with giving the final price on the front page? AND why does it cost 5euros or thereabouts to handle a debit card transaction I now have my flights home and back booked for Christmas break.
Am hopfuly also going to fit in a nice weekend before the break if I can get my passport back in time. I have figured out the benefit, though there is no sense whatsoever in using up your carefully saved points on a flight where the cost is 1. So I suppose in that sense its worth it. After a few flights home I can at least get to a position where if needed I can take a short notice trick home for 50quid or so, being the cost of the taxes etc I still think its a rip off though when they don't just give you that actual cost of travel on the site.
As an aside, here's a warning for the coding geeks out there. Not realising I'd done this I proceeded to use my PC for a while and even install a copy of Maya for the project I'm doing as well as to help with college work. It didn't install since they gave me the wrong license file, but thats not the real story. This morning when I tried to use Code Warrior or cod worrier if you prefer it refused to compile since the system clock had been changed Hmm uninstall Maya Ok re-install CW, nope.
After hunting around in the Nintendo forums, it turns out I have to reset any file which has a forward time to current time Posted by Boring old Fart at 2 comments. Monday, 17 November WTF!!!! Ok, so Apple have sorted out my developer status, and I got to the website that explained how to set up my ipod as a target machine I'm positively disheartened by it all, it is making my brain spin.
Also the fact that my wireless mighty mouse is damaged in some way not helping. Danni said something about, does your mouse work when she was here.. So with spanking new Ipod Touch in hand I attempted to activate my Iphone developer program you can use an Ipod for development too. Paid for the program, received the activation code, clicked on the activation code. We are unable to activate your iPhone Developer Program membership because we are unable to successfully verify your identity.
On the plus side Faster Nudity. Geek post alert!!! I have a 20MB Internet connection, but unless I use the wire directly into the supplied Tele2 router the best I can normally get from my A router can pass several Mbs but the fact is error checking and dropped bits will eat up a lot of that speed so in fact the MB actual mega bytes of data that get to your PC are always less than the stated Mbs rate.
I want my multiple of 3. Confused yet? I am, bottom line is that the bigger the number the faster the nudity downloads to your PC to quote comic book guy So while browsing around Media Mart looking for a docking station for my new Ipod more on this later A Sitecom N And a wireless dongle to drive it. Set up was painless, I plugged the wire from the Tele2 router, into the Sitecom so that it could get the raw 20Mb speed supplied to it, I still have my 54Mbs network for my mac and laptops, but now I have a new Mbs network for any PC's with suitable receivers the dongle I removed the rubbish Belkin which I've been cursing for months due to its reluctance to connect every morning, pressed a few sign on buttons and voila..
I have a connection rate of Mbs and a download rate according to speedtest. Simplest connection to a new router I've ever had. Much much better. I can't help wondering why do I not have Mbs connection rate hmmmm. Friday, 14 November Joy, Bliss and more Joy. I have an Ipod Touch I suffer no more I am in a state of bliss I also have a bugger of a hangover, having been out on the town last night till 2am and having one or 2 small beverages in a local drinking establishment now thankfully smoke free again.
During which much philosophical bullsh And there was also some drinking. Which is why my head is banging today While indulging in a few drinks, the bars here allow you to run a tab till you are ready to go. So having decided around 2am to call it a night I went to the bar to pay my tab using my bank card only to discover that they didn't take plastic.
Of course in the UK, not having the cash to pay for your booze would have resulted in 2 large chaps by the door being signaled over to demonstrate the error of your ways, probably in a back alley or something. But here It's a small thing I suppose, but just how incredibly cool and laid back is that?
I love this place, it rekindles your faith in human nature and leaves you at ease with the world. Monday, 10 November Funniest email exchange ever. Enjoy Ahthankyew. Thursday, 6 November Remember remember the Hah, they don't do bonfire night here, how strange. No overpriced unsafe fireworks, no bangers thrown in letterboxes, no unofficial bonfires too close to houses that catch fire, no fire brigade on standby, no reports of kids maimed and scarred for life by mishandling kindling or being hurt at badly organized public events.
No pets terrorized for hours at a time by constant loud bangs. No rancid smell of black powder hanging in the air. No hibernating hedgehogs or tortoises roasted. No exploding bonfires because of hidden aerosol cans. No gangs roaming the streets stealing flammable materials. No blackmailers in training, asking for pennies really meaning pounds for the guy.
No filthy dark toffee and parkin that's actually inedible but you have to eat to keep the makers happy. These Dutch people don't know what their missing. Monday, 3 November who's that tired old bastard? My passport has run out so I had to go get some pics taken for the renewal application which apparently I have to send to Paris?? Anyway the photo machine was clearly faulty, I think it gave me someone else's pics, though they were in fact wearing my clothes?
But who on earth was that sad tired old git who's head was clearly superimposed on my Adonis like torso. I mean it can't be me For the geeks among you I'm typing this entry on my Mac Mini, using a new mac keyboard.. Sadly however I seem to have a small issue with my mighty mouse, its sticking a bit if not clicked regularly I'm wondering if something has got stuck inside it, but there's no way to take it apart to clean..
I brought my Roberts Skeleton over a while back but wanted to get my hands on an electric to wake the neighbours up ; I must say, I am very pleased with my purchases, which arrived today, I got a 12 string electro acoustic and a telecaster copy with an amp.
And despite paying less than for both, they are really rather good. Both sound fantastic, much better than their price would suggest, though the 12 string is a little hard to pick due to string spacing, it sounds lovely when playing big ringing chords. Here's a pic, of my incredibly cheap guitars. The Roberts is actually the most expensive one, but for various reasons I got it for free so it really is a cheap set of guitars.
I have paid a few pennies for the pedals though, especially the digiman loop pedal which really is a good tool to let you play your own backing tracks. I just need a chorus pedal to complete my set up and I'll be a happy bunny. Sunday, 2 November Another New Toy. I like bread,though I'm fairly sure its the main cause of my oft commented on flatulence though I've not commented nearly enough on here.
And even though the bread here is fantastic I fancied making my own, so here we go.. But there was no recipe list with it.. Normally when you buy a new cooking gadget they give you at least a few basic tips on how to use it..
So I had to experiment myself. The result It wasn't bad actually Friday, 31 October Happy Halloween. And indeed it is here, cos they don't really celebrate it. None of that nasty commercialism you see in the UK and US of course and none of that horrible horrible trick or treat nonsense where young thugs in training discover and master the skills of extortion that will serve them so well in their later chav years.
Nope just a normal day.. Though this is so cute thanks to TCE for the images : Ahthankyew. Thursday, 30 October ouch. Came home to an empty flat today, 1st time in a week. At least I have a lot of work to do to take my mind of things, got to get ready for the new term and a new project starting up soon, so lots and lots to do.
Wednesday, 29 October I'm so roonrree. After having a full house for several days, Bina and Jodie left on the pm train Tuesday, 28 October A Full House. All the effort doing the decorating and building has finally paid off. Everyone likes the decor and all say I've worked very hard well Danni grunted which is just as good.
