Wrong Turn 2: Dead End
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007Most of my friends know that when I telecommute I keep a TV on as background noise. A few of them even know that I pick really crappy movies, especially horror b-movies. The reason I do that is because I don’t want to get drawn to the TV for more than a few seconds at [...]
Oblivion: One year and 500 hours later
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007We are going through a little bit of a dry spell on the Xbox 360 side. If you are already tired of the Orange Box and Halo 3, there is not a hell of a lot of new stuff. I decided to pass on Guitar Hero III and Rock Band, and I still don’t know [...]
NaNoWriMo: halfway point
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007OK, I’ve done it: I am at the halfway point in my NaNoWriMo 2007 entry. 25,011 words to be exact. At this pace I should finish the book four days ahead, which will probably be my worst finish yet (I finished one of my two winning entries on a November 19!). Still, it is the [...]
Philips DVP5960 DVD Player with HDMI, 1080i Upscaling, DivX Ultra, USB direct
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007One of the unexpected consequences of losing the HDMI connection from the Xbox 360 to the HDTV is that the 360 in HD component mode won’t upscale DVDs. I have been keeping an eye on the whole HD format war for DVDs, and I am going to sit this one out. On top of this, [...]
Burned
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007Yesterday I tried to take advantage of a one-time discount that would push Ivette’s employee discount to close to 20%. I decided to get a 32″ Olevia HDTV, move my 19″ Magnavox over to PJs, then return his Memorex, which is still within the return period. What was the burn? I made a mistake while [...]
First impression: iPod classic 160GB
Thursday, November 1st, 2007After over two hours of sync, I finally got to test drive my new 160GB iPod classic. Mine right now is holding about 28 GB of music and 10 GB of video. The first nice thing I noticed is that it is no longer needed to use the AC adapter in order to do a [...]
NINE
Thursday, November 1st, 2007I’ve done it. I have just unwrapped iPod number NINE. No dead iPod this time, sorry. iPod #8 was a refurbished unit, a warranty replacement for my 20GB clickwheel. After a bit over a year, it started having issues with the clickwheel, and the battery is pretty much fried, it barely holds more than one [...]
.net domains are now $6.99/year
Thursday, November 1st, 2007As a way to combat the new .com prices (greedy assholes, why screw with something that was working so damn well?), my domain wholesalers are branching off .net domains into their own separate pricing tier. This means we are now allowed to sell .net domains at a different price than for the .com domains. Effective [...]
