Be happy and quit griping

It seems to me like a lot of people are griping about Systm. All they keep saying is Kevin is coming up with excuses all the time. I think their full of #$#@. Krose is a busy man and has to divide his time among so many things. First he had to move to san francisco and that took quite some time. Then they had to move everything. And sometimes he'll make appearances on Call For Help 2.0. Admist that Kev had to do Diggnation and This Week in Tech as well. Then they had to go out looking for a studio. Then moving equipment to the studio takes time as well. Kev said once they get the studio ready they can start cranking out the episodes. Which there is going to be 2 to 3 releases each month. So quit your griping and let them get settled first. And not every episode will be suited for each persons needs. So Jay don't worry there are fans out there who appreciate Revision 3's work.

God #$%$*#

OMFG, I've tried relentlessly downloading the keys to unlock my Foo Fighters CD and it refuses to download yet again. This makes me glad there are music pirates out there. Fuck the music companies that put copyright protection on their cd's. It even refused to connect to their server so I could download the keys. It kept saying make sure I have a valid internet connection. Well I do you f#$#$#@ @$$$^les!!

Arrggggghhh

I love the new Foo Fighters CD, except for the fact that you have to download the keys to unlock them for your computer. This really pissed me off. Well I tried downloading the keys and it won't download them, which pisses me off even more. So now the songs will only play on my stereo which is alright but I like listening to my songs on my computer. So now I'm getting really pissed off. AAAAAAAAAAA!!!

More laughing

I read this article about how cantenna's are illegal in San Francisco. It's pretty stupid but whatever floats their boat.

Anticipation is a b#$##

And I'm talking about the next release of Systm. Switcherman said it's probably going to be released late tonight and I'm hoping they release it before 7:00 or my dad won't let me go to my friends house to download it. Arggh I hate waiting. Although I'm sure it'll be quite worth it.

Time off for a geek

Well I haven't talked about my personal life in quite some time now. That's mainly due to the fact that I haven't had one the entire summer. I've hung out with some friends but all we did was goof off. Of course the whole thing with me asking out the girl I liked never worked so dating hasn't exactly been on my mind. Well recently I've been hanging out with some ladies (one normal and one sort of geeky) and my best friend Jarid. I only intended to hang out with the ladies to pass the time and have some fun. Well now one of them has gotten attached to me (the geeky one) and I'm having sort of a hard time telling her no that I don't wish to go any further as far as a friendship goes. Well I have another blog on MySpace that is completely devoted to my personal life and friends. Recently I posted on that blog that I did not wish to pursue any further relationship with this chick and that to pursue such a thing would be incredibly awkward. Plus the fact that she hates about all of the music I listen to except Relient K. There’s no way I could possibly pursue a relationship with any girl if she hates and despises Green Day. I'm sorry but that band is just a giant part of my life and the way I rock. I cannot go a day without rocking to Green Day. All my friends know that too. Well I just don't think she's been taking the hints and possibly the fact that I posted straight blank in my blog that I didn't want to go out with her and now she's been calling me for the past two days. I answered the phone the first day and the second day I just decided to give up and ignore the phone. Not that I don't like the sudden popularity I've been thrust into (trust me before I was a loner) but the wrong ladies are liking me. Lately I've been asked like eight times by all these chicks, not that is a bad thing but once again it's all the wrong chicks. If it's not a fat one it's a not so attractive chick and etc....I think you get the point. Anyway I can't actually wait until I can get back to school, (hold on a sec am I really saying that), because now I'm going insane without school because this place is such a bore. Plus my car hasn't been fixed yet which is really a bummer. I can't believe I'm saying this but I really want to go back to school!!!

What is going on with my FF

First you people oughta know I downloaded FF 1.06 the other day. Ok well the other day I was downloading episode 4 of diggnation, and I looked at my download speed and I had to do a double take. My download speed was at least 525 KB's/s. I don't know what the hell happened but I got about 75% downloaded and then it immediately slowed down to 15KB's/s. It was the oddest thing that happend. Ever since then my download speeds have increased. It's one thing when you've got broadband but when you have dialup you certainly know the difference. Normal download speeds out here for dialup is 2.7 KB's/s. Well I'm quite happy now my download speeds have increased to 4.6 KB's/s. Now of course thats crap compared to everything else but unfortunately my town lives in the stone age when it comes to communications. We can't even get a decent cell phone signal sometimes (U.S. Cellular). I'd change carriers but right now I can't because my dad pays for it all (I'm not going to complain). Which is quite odd I don't know why we don't go to with Verizon or something considering thats my regular phone service. But anyway I'm happy now. Although I wish some carrier would bring something faster out here. A satelite connection something. I'm going insane out here people. All I can say is thank god for friends in the next town over with broadband. Peace!

This got a good laugh

I came across a soundboard at techtvforever.net and found it quite funny. Especially where Leo Laporte says, "I go to Canada to get my music." Or if you don't feel like going through a website to find the link then here's the direct link.

P.S.
You people may already know about it but I finally just found it.

Plug Time 4

Recently on an episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno I saw a band on called Relient K. I've never heard of them (until the show) and decided to pick up their cd. I think it's good for a rock group. Another band recently seen on Late Night with Conan O'Brien was the band called The Hold Steady. The lead singer is a little quirky but the music is solid and I recommend them. Also I came across a site a long time ago called the BrokenBinary. I saw the stripped version (I believe) of their upcoming site and I'm liking it already. Right now the sight is just forums but I hope the site comes soon. Keep up the work guys!

Liking the new template

Obviously you've seen the fact that my blog template has changed. What do you people think?
Let me know.

Oh well

Yeah, I've come down with a cold over the past couple of days. That really sucks. Oh well. I've been busy writing stuff for Techspec and listening to some podcasts like This Week in Tech and Diggnation. Those podcasts are awesome, no doubt about it. And I plan on listening to some new podcasts I haven't listened to before like Steve and Landos on the go Web Show and hopefully some new ones in the next couple of days. Oh, I just remembered My Life Bytes as well. All it takes is one trip over to my friends house cause he's got broadband. L8er

Ouch...seriously

Wow, I just found out that I was born with a broken back and didn't know it until this afternoon after I went to see a neurosurgeon. So now not only am I out of football, I'm also out of any conditioning P.E. or any P.E. for that matter anyway. The lucky thing for me is I still get to do bowling in the winter. But the shocking thing is within the next twenty years more than likely I'm going to need surgery to correct what is wrong. Here is basically what happened. The lowest part of my spine, or the lowest area in the lumbar region in my spine, or the back of my spine on the lowest lumbar region whathaveyou, is not connected to the spine. Right now it's only being held there by my muscles. But in twenty years my muscles will fatigue and that part will slip down and pinch my ciatic nerve, causing even greater pain in my back which would force me to get surgery. So basically I'm going to get surgery hopefully before it happens. That really sucks.

Nowadays

Unfortunately due to the amount of resources I have here, I can't transfer my third podcast from my computer in my room to this computer. I only have a 128MB USB Thumb Drive, and the podcast is 140MB(Only cause it's a wave file right now). The only reason I can't convert it to MP3 because my computer is old (about 4 years old) and doesn't have access to the internet for all that jazz. And it runs on Windows ME. Yeah it sucks. Anyway I plan on that probably being my last podcast if at all I release it. I'd rather spend my time writing for Techspec and reading the tech books I buy from Barnes and Noble. And those doctors visits for my back have taking up some time as well. Depending on what happens after I visit a neurosurgeon tomorrow about my CT scan results I might just be spending time to write. So yeah it's all good.

Firefox gridlock?

I don't what happened but when I installed Newsmonster to view RSS feeds and restarted firefox it wouldn't load. I don't know what happened. This problem only started after I installed Newsmonster. I clicked on Firefox in frustration many a times and of course got nothing? Is it me or what? I've no idea. Think I'll go check out the firefox forums.

Just great!/New Podcast

Well I actually got some worthwhile sleep this morning and what did I wake up with. A cold!! I've been sneezing since 11 a.m., it's not fun. My nose is stuffed up and I can't blow my nose anymore cause it's sore. I'm gonna try and do a podcast for tonight on subjects pertaining from the latest release of a Popular Science Magazine. I'm going to cover the Global Warming solutions, Cool Geek gadgets that are featured in their magazine, the broadcast flag, and some other things that are new in the mag. Also the second episode of diggnation is out. Definately check it out alex albrecht and kevin rose laugh up a storm in this one.

Sorry

Sorry for the lack of updates, for the past few days I've been really busy or sleeping. I just wrote an article for Techspec. It's about the anti-trust suit AMD has against Intel. Plus I've been sleeping in really late because for the past few days I've been an insomniac. And last night I went bowling for the last time for my league. I'm hoping to get a few more podcasts released in the next couple of days along with possibly another article. And as a fellow human being I offer my condolences to the victims of the London terrorist attack.

Episode 2

http://ourmedia.org/ia/details/VashEpisode22ndEpmp3_0. That is the link to my second podcast. Hopefully it should show up within the hour.
-Vash
P.S. I know I didn't have that much content on that ep so I plan on getting more tonight as I record Episode 3.

Rebates

I recently just read an interesting article on Digg about how company's use rebates to sucker in people. It was a very interesting read. Check it out!!

Episode 1....Download Time

Alright well I just checked out the link and it's up. Just hit the link in my previous post and it should take you straight there. All you have to do is find the thing on the web page that kind goes like this: (Url:Link). You have to find that thing and click on it. So I'll just reiterate this again. Your going to hear the sound of my computer fan buzzing in the background. And there is no music unfortunately because the file size would've taken forever to upload. Otherwise I would've had some Green Day or Weezer and whatnot. Oh well. Happy Downloading!

Podcast Uploaded

Well it said I uploaded it but it will be a couple of hours before it shows up apparently.
http://ourmedia.org/ia/details/VashEpisode1TheRealPodcastmp3. That should be the link. Who knows. If it doesn't work just drop a comment. Just to let you know the podcast is pretty boring and it's just me. If any of you want to join me for a podcast eventually, I have skype so just drop a comment. Unfortunately I couldn't add any music because the music would be make the file too long. (I have dialup) and the fact that I wanted to get this published as quickly as possible.
-Vash

It should be up soon.

Alright I uploaded it to Ourmedia instead of Podblaze. The thing was it didn't show up as being published yet. So I'm asking anyone to check out my Ourmedia page and see if it went up yet. Otherwise I might have to re-upload it.

Delay

I'm going to be a little late with releasing my podcast. As of right now I'm having an incredibly hard time uploading my podcast onto a server. Right now I'm using Podblaze. Which is probably my mistake. If any of you people know anything that is dial-up friendly drop a comment because I could use the help. Otherwise I'm just gonna go to my friends house and release it. He's got broadband.

Vash's Podcast?

Yes that's right. I've felt that it is time people hear my voice. Even if it's only one person. I feel like getting into the podcast craze just like everyone else. I've already recorded my first one and plan on releasing it soon. And right now I'm about one third of the way there on my second one. It'll be a simple podcast really. It'll be me ranting about things. For instance I'll be ranting about G4, lawyers, and the how many channels I have on my tv in the first episode. Till then

Busy...Busy....Busy

Yeah I've been really busy today. Just today I posted two articles for Techspec. And then I've been working on my site. Plus all the chores around the house that I've been doing have kept me busy for most of the day. So yeah it doesn't leave much for my social life anymore but I don't care. My friends are busy hanging out with other people so it's all good. Work is work and I'm enjoying it. Big time.
