Well, got declined for the job I was going for up here in Dallas, and at this point, there's not been too many other possible bites. Most of the stuff I've been seeing are BS sales positions, whcih don't look all that promising, and I've never done terribly well in sales.

So... this seems like it will pretty much be it for me up here in Dallas. I can hope that something might crop up, but for now, I'm probably going to have to focus on Houston while I prep to move at the end of the month.

Ask any of my characters any questions you want. Current, past, future. I will answer.

Apparently the guy who was responsible for developing the wiimote as a 3d input device for applications such as Wii whiteboard - and silly stuff like this which is actually quite groundbreaking when you think about it - was recruited into Project Natal, which is Microsoft's attempt to develop fully controller free interfaces for the XBox.

Sit back and consider that for a moment. Controller free, reacting only via video scanner attached to your XBox. This is the introduction video.



A return of Sony's Virtual Eye thingamajig? In a certain sense, but at the same time... we're talking about total 3d mapping across a given space, with complete mapped spatial recognition of everything that occurs in front of the camera. Where have I seen this before...

( Oh, right. )

This... should be very fun if it goes beyond just being exclusive to Microsoft. The possibilities for this sort of technology are very exciting.

Apparently David Carradine died.

...

...in an absolutely bizarre way. o_o They're disputing if it was a suicide or murder or something. Sounds weeeiird.

GOD DAMNIT FEIST!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

In other news, finally finishing up college, at least degree-wise. After changing my degree this many times, I think it feels quite strange to be looking at finishing up. But its finally going to happen, which is enough to make me cheer a bit on the inside.

For those in the D/FW area who are interested, my graduation is on the 13th of December. If you'd like to come along, please let me know - we've got a little bit of a group, and I'll try and get info out and all that.

Now just finals in a little more than a week... thankfully, I've actually (by some small miracle) done well in Spanish this semester, so I should be graduating with little trouble.

How to make a runegrey

Ingredients: 5 parts intelligence 1 part ambition 5 parts energy

Method: Blend at a low speed for 30 seconds. Top it off with a sprinkle of lustfulness and enjoy!

Just throwing out some things I'd like to do with my characters that I want to wrap up on VL - if anyone has anything else they want to try and organize, please feel free to add in!

Long Live the New Phone!

So, my old phone died a death that will probably have me being reviewed by the SFTHTOMP at some point (it was an accident, I swear!) and I have a new phone now. Unfortunately, bcause my old phone died such a messy death, this means that I lost all of my contact information.

So! I have a request for everyone whom I had contact info before (and still wants me to have it) - can you post a comment with your number here? All comments will be screened. And my number is still the same with the new phone as with the old phone, so no need to worry there. Much appreciated!

TIME: January 18th
INCIDENT MAGINTUDE: 10/10
INSTRUCTIONS: Proceed to local celluloid film using intelligence center (hearafter refered to as 'movie theater'). Gather intelligence on Incident CLOVERFIELD. Haste is reccomended, as additional unexpected data (hearafter refered to as 'spoilers') will lessen the impact of intelligence and reduce useful conclusions (hearafter refered to as 'kickass movie has to be seen to be believed').

WARNINGS: Incident recorded via hand held device. Possible motion sickness. Gore present in two scenes, but not signifigant quanities.

REPORT ENDS

I'm not sure what it is with the weather around here. One day we're running close to 80, the next, almost down to freezing. Up and down, up and down. It's no wonder a lot of people are getting sick around here.

That and internet plague, of course.

Now, at long long last, we can finally edit comments on livejournal!

If you pay money for it, at least. Yayz! Or something.

No wait, it isn't!

So yeah. Computer problems. WMI corruption due to AIM related stuffies - appeared that massive reinstall and restore would be necessary, but solutions were found. Amazing that you can actually fix crap like this with command line stuff.

So glad that's over with, however. Additional stress was not needed, although solving the problem has done a good job of relieving that stress.

Current Mood: satisfied

Well, I've been having some trouble with my computer tonight - I'm hoping that this doesn't turn into a standing thing, but I've been getting memory related bluescreens, which is leading me to wonder if I might be running into a dead memory module on my desktop proper.

IE, dead ram stick.

The clue I've been getting for that is I had a few bootups today where Vista was saying that I was running with less than my full compliment of memory - anyone had any similar problems? While its not the end of the world (still have my laptop), my desktop is my gaming rig and I'd like for it to be in top shape.
