Personal Notes

April 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Personal

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Forums Lost 🙁 So apparently my forums, which have been hosted by Invision Power Services since 2002, have finally gone offline. I haven’t been able to access them for a week now and the reason isn’t a time-out, but a “server not found”. Uh oh. In all fairness though, the IPB […]

My epiphany for the day

April 2nd, 2008 · No Comments · GameDev.net, Personal

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So I had the brilliant thought to edit the automatic first post generated for the article feedback thread to include a biography on the author(s). We have a bio field in the article admin, but I’ve never used it and I have no idea where it actually shows up. If I […]

Both myself and my computer are sick

March 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment · Personal

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll I apologize that there’s no featured article today. I was feeling a little sick – don’t know if I actually was or not but being that every other member of my family in the house (4 of em) have been sick over the past 2 weeks I figured best not to […]

NaNoWriMo FTW!

November 2nd, 2007 · 1 Comment · Personal

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Howdy folks. In case you don’t know, this is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and I’m trying once again to pen a 50,000 word short novel. My last attempt was back in 2005. I skipped it last year and now I’m back at the drawing board. 2005 netted me a whopping […]

I feel secure

September 22nd, 2007 · 1 Comment · Personal

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Just wanted to mention that I signed up for Mozy’s online backup service this week. I’ve been a really bad person when it comes to data back-ups. Heck I rarely even use CVS to keep track of my code changes. Call me lazy, call me old-fashioned. Whatever. I’ve been fortunate enough […]

Triple Monitor Part 2 – The Monitor

September 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Personal

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll My monitor came today on schedule, NewEgg hasn’t failed me yet. I unboxed it in record time and threw it together and put it on my desk… geez this thing really is monstrous. It has only like 3″ of clearance beneath my desk light. Anyways I plugged it on and configged […]

It’s getting posted this Monday no matter what (it’s back on the schedule even). There may be updates after the fact, but if that’s the case I’ll notify you here of course. Okay, […]

The Weekly Report

August 29th, 2007 · No Comments · GameDev.net, Software

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll *phew* Finally done reformatting my desktop and getting caught up on all my tasks and emails. I haven’t reformatted since I first put this computer together last November, which isn’t too bad. I usually reformat every 6 months or so, but I managed to keep things purring along nicely until about […]

Big Hard Drive? Why Compensate?

August 23rd, 2007 · 3 Comments · Personal

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So I’ve been thinking about adding a new hard drive to my system. Mainly due to the fact that lately I’ve been recording a lot of TV shows using Sage TV’s recording software. At Good encoding, we’re talking roughly 1.7gb per hour – so on a 250gb drive that equates to […]
