Upgraded to Firefox 3

Posted in Blog, Computer, Geek, Technology, Weekend on June 22nd, 2008

Last night I decided to upgrade to Firefox 3. I mean it is just a browser even if they say it’s a vast improvement over Firefox 2. However, when I upgraded I noticed it was taking bookmarks that were much older than my current ones. I finally discovered the reason for this was because I once installed a pre-release of Firefox 3.

After what seemed like hours upon hours. I finally resolved the issue.

Anyways, small update. Least I posted!

The Story so far…

Posted in Anime, Blog, Computer, Geek, Goozex, Television, Video Games on May 1st, 2008

So, I did not decide to download the First Album DLC for Rockband. I’m simply not a Judas Priest fan. This week DLC I have really decided just yet. It is one Smashing Pumpkins song, Zero and Two Mother hips songs. It is not part of a pack so each song is 160 MS points or 2 bucks basically.

I’ve been trading my old PS2 and DS games on Goozex. It is a video trading community. Each game has a point value assigned by supply and demand along with when it was release with other date involved. It is a much better resource to trade and receive games. Once you have the points, you request a game. If you have the trade credits then you are matched with a seller. Each trade credit is $1. Overall, I’m very happy with this program.

April 29th, 2008 - Grand Theft Auto IV came and I purchased it after work. I decided to go with the special edition which came with an art book, soundtrack cd, lockbox, keychain, and bag. It was $90 bucks but I feel what was included made it worth it.

So last post, I said I had some problems that I needed to resolve on my blog. Well, I found a neat little Wordpress plugin that helps you back up and upgrade your installation with ease. Glad to say that my blog is running Wordpress 2.5.1. My security plugin says that everything is perfect.  Also, I found a somewhat working Livejournal Crossposter plugin. I don’t know if I will ever try the Myspace one. Maybe not until it transfers all of my SQL database stuff into it so I don’t have to.

Been watching tons of Avatar the Last Air Bender. We’re on Season 3, waiting for the disc 3 from the DVD to be released. It happens to be my birthday when it does, May 6th.

Anyways… that’s all I have for now. Oh yeah, my gamertag on Xbox Live is CephirosMatsuri

Bugs in the System

Posted in Blog, Computer, Geek on April 27th, 2008

So, recently I discovered that this very blog is considered badware by Google/Stopbadware.org. I did not know about it because until recently I was not doing anything to my blog. I did really noticed until I tried to access it in Firefox 3 Beta 5.

Digging into my site, it might be true. I did find a directory that contained a bunch of files to other web sites for casinos and shit. I deleted and started to make changes. After those changes, in the manage tab of Wordpress, I get a small error. Nothing that breaks the system but annoys me.

I’ve already backed everything except for my database since I will do that the day of making the upgrade. I am going to uninstall all of Wordpress and go with a completely clean install of 2.5.1 sometime next weekend.

What I hate about manual installs is that any upgrades made by Fantastico have potential to fuck up my blog. Another non system related posts will come soon today and from day to day before the fresh install.

Rockband DLC - April 15th, 2008

Posted in Blog, Computer, Geek, Video Games on April 13th, 2008

I’ve decided that one of the things that I could do to encourage me to post to my blogs is to post about my excitement then later opinion about upcoming DLC for Rockband. After two weeks of not using any Microsoft points… I’ll be forced to make more DLC purchases. I know that I *really* don’t have too. However, I really like expanding my song list in the game.

‘Call Me” by Blondie (Master Track)
“Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd (Master Track)
“Message in a Bottle” by The Police (Master Track)

$1.99 Per Song (160 MS Points) per song or $5.49 (440 MS Points) for “The Classic Rock” pack.

Fuck yeah… I’m a modern cool nerd!

Posted in Blog, Computer, Geek, Life on September 9th, 2007

Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd

60 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 26% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn’t use to be cool, but in the 90’s that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn’t quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and “geek is chic.” The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you’re interested in any of the following:

Where are you? Where did you go? *cries*

Posted in Blog, Computer, Video Games, Youtube on June 26th, 2007

So, I know I’ve been a bastard about not updating my blog and I am really sorry. Yes, I’ve been playing World of Warcraft again. It is fun to play again after a 2 month break. We’ve really cleaned up Karazhan, made improvements in Gruul’s Lair and moving onto SSH and The Eye.

Song of the Week will start up again on July 2nd, 2007. Youtube Video of the Day might startup again if I can find some good videos or get some good videos sent to me. I’ll try to post more often so you don’t worry about me and I have to find and fix my missing widgets from a stupid Wordpress Upgrade.

Battling Financial Aid Appeals

Posted in Blog, Computer on May 8th, 2007

So, my right side of my mouth still hurts from time to time. Mostly from the other teeth nearby the extraction side. I’ve missed some class but the one class I had to drop because i was going to fail anyways for missing tomorrow. His policy on attendance was 5 absences, regardless of excuse is auto-fail. 2 days were missed because of this dental issue and is documented. 2 days were related to cold/flu that is not documented because I did not go to a doctor because of no insurance. However, it was spread throughout the house and I will have Becky do a personal statement to put in with my other paperwork. I hope everything goes well since I’ve never been disqualified, only on warning a couple times and have maintained 3.5 grade point average for PCC career.

So, I’ve decided to sell alot of my video games and other stuff to gain money for the pending move. In addition, once I get this fin aid appeal process going. I am going to attempt to get fin aid for summer. If not able to, I may pay for at least 1 class out of my pocket if I can and do some temp work for money as well until I start my ASPCC job in Fall 2007.

So, I’ve been bad recently, I’ve ordered two 500 GB hard drives but I’ve been needing more space since I’ve been filling 320 gigs with no problems. In addition, I’ve ordered R4DS, which is enhancement device for my Nintendo DS Lite. This is the only non-essential purchases I will make for now on.
