Palm pre update

Fabulous Geek — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 23:40:05 +0000

So, i’ve been playing with the wifi mobile hotspot feature on my palm pre in the car to play pandora through my ipod touch since my car stereo only has an ipod input (as opposed to a standard headphone jack). I’m trying to figure out the best way to make it stream consistantly. This has been a challenge, and I don’t know why. Sometimes it’s seamless and most of the time it’s been incredibly jerky. My guess is that the bottleneck is happening somewhere within my pre since while pandora on my touch can be choppy while pandora on my pre will be smooth. Need to find a way to measure this…

I’m currently posting this from my new phone. I think this phone should last me quite some time.

I played with friends this evening. A great way to celebrate my birthday.

Hey Y’all, it’s me this time. I’m home, I’m alive, and I can’t tell you what’s going on. Just know it’s going to be really rough for me for a while and I need prayers and good thoughts for a while. I love you all.

Updates and stuff

I’ve been crazy busy with work. between the dance recitals and the rehearsals for Essential, I’ve not got much time to do stuff.

I just bought a Peek (http://getpeek.com) which allows me to check and send email anywhere. I’ve ordered the serial cable for it as well… so let the hacktastic fun begin!

Also I’ve signed up for Ping.fm which seems to be amazing at updating my status everywhere, all at once. which is good.

that is all.

Hey Y’all!

Sorry i’ve not been posting much. my life is both dull and exciting all at once. Fortunately, i have a moment to blog.

This week i’m moving back in with my parents, much to the dismay of both myself and jen brown. While I’m moving i’m also working lots of dance shows (this week is callenwolde) and i will be begin rehearsal for Essential Theatre Festival on the 1st of june.

I’ve been accepted to UNCSA and am eagerly awaiting more information from them. I have a physical scheduled for the 5th and need to get my immunization info before then.

Xbox is repaired!

Fabulous Geek — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:32:58 +0000

Huzzah! my Xbox is repaired, It’s now under warranty, and it’s being shipped, very soon!

Now that i’ve been handled…. alright, let me explain what happened…

I bought a brand spanking new Xbox 360 Arcade from Microcenter on the 26th of December. As most of you know, I’m not fond of Microsoft (Who makes the xbox) and have generally been in want of a Wii… until the price of the Xbox dropped… and it got Soul Calibur 4… and I wathed too many people play Fallout 3…. And i got Guitar Hero 4 for the xbox for christmas (which is another story).

Anyway, I finally decided to buy an Xbox, and I did. and it was… well… Heaven is not the term since I felt rather dirty for using it, but it was fun and enjoyable, and I’d reached a point where I was content with it. So the Xbox’s disc drive decided to stop working.

Well, I was pissed to say the least. I tried all of the suggestions on Microsoft’s website to get it to work and none of them worked. It was simply fucked up. That’s when things got ugly.

Not only was i pissed at my Xbox now, When I went to put in a repair request, Microsoft’s website said that my Warranty had expired on the 7th of December… A full 19 Days before I had bought the console.

I was livid, and I sincerely apologize right now to anyone who had been in the immediate vicinity right then. It was just so frustrating… So i put in the repair request, paid $94, made them send me a box (because like hell if i was going to spend anymore god damned money to get this thing fixed), and waited…

Fortunately I was able to still use it to play Demos, and anything downloaded onto my hard drive so it wasn’t a complete loss those couple of days before the box arrived.

the box finally Arrived, I filled out my warranty dispute form (which you have to send in with the broken console… meaning you have to pay them to see your warranty dispute… asshats), and went to go make a copy of my receipt…. and I couldn’t find it. It wasn’t near my fallout 3 receipt (which i had bought at gamestop on the same day, not Microcenter since they were… out?) and i couldn’t find it anywhere. I was in a panic. I decided I needed to look in stupid places for it, so I started with my GH4 box (which you’ll remember I got as a gift) and there it was. Thank god I had not thrown that box away.

I quickly made a copy of the receipt, stapled it to the warranty dispute, put everything in the box and shipped it off. That was the 14th of January.

Hopefully it will be here in a couple of days… seeing as how I am coming down with a cold.

Time to go clean.
