Wow

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:46:27 GMT

For those that dont know, Harriet and I went back to wow, been a month or 2 now. We beat everthing in 10 mans. So we wanted to get back into 25 mans, We try SASU cause we could just sign up a night or 2. We finely desided to get to try to get back to full time and APP to ANR to raid with our 10 man friends and other ones we made along the raid.

----
Hey Guys,

We're going to decline your applications for ANR. While you may feel the leadership has changed, the policies and how we handle things by in large has not changed at all. We feel that many of the same issues you had problems with are still there and that the potential for friction is very high.

In addition to this how you chose to leave ANR left a sour taste in my mouth to be blunt. I don't want to bring in the possibility for this to happen again.

There will be no further discussion on this topic. Thank you.

----

The reason we left not only ANR but the game, because there was so much drama cause by Ellyee and Joph, both that left ANR, that we had to deal with cause kharv was never around at all for the month before we left. The was more drama in that time frame then Ung and I ever had in the whole time Bandits where around in BC, part of me wishes i push to keep it going then merg with poeple that wanted to start ANR. So now i need to look somewhere else to raid.

Yes Dan, i know this is where you just going to tell me, im better off getting set on fire by you playing TeamFort2.

Im Strange

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:02:48 GMT

Ok, so maybe I’m not strange, well maybe I am but for those that know me this may be not normal of me. I have not been to WAWA in the past 2 weeks. This also means i have not had Caffeine from a reasonable source in that long. Now just to lose another 5lbs.

The computer next to me is showing the CPU usage of all the threads of a embbed decivce i am working.

For most this doesnt seem like alot.
To me its a big step? Why?

I worte the code for threading on a single thread CPU.
I worte the code to analsye those threads for usage.
I worte the code to send to over the a muticast network.
To get it to send over mucticast.
I had to write
The UDP layer
The IGMP layer
The ICMP layer
The IP4 layer
The ARP layer
The MAC layer

I just built my own simple OS.

and it can talk across the internet.

Deep inside the cavern. [WoW]

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 18:55:18 GMT

          It’s a cool and clear autumn night, one that almost only ever happens in a dreamiest state. The stars shine brightly in the dark sky and the area around the valley is quiet. The are only two sounds, one coming from a small breeze that rustle the colorful leaves of the maple trees that line the outer ring of the valley. The other, far off in the distance, is a soothing sound of crystal clear water falling as the lake spills into a river. The slowly moving currents are causing ripples across the large surface are only seen because of the bright reflections of the moon. The moon, full and large, seems to sit only a few feet above the lake. The blight glow causes the valley to be lit up with an eerie peaceful blue hue.
          There is a white path made out of small stones that glow brightly blue in the moonlight, seem out of place, man made but not traveled. The path is long, and took a person what must have been years to make. One end drifts off until the horizon, on its way it’s seem to have cross different stone paths and others stone paths that it seems to join together to form a much wider path for a time before splitting. The other end of the path stops much closer at what seems to be next to a fire.
          Closer, there is a fire that seems to have been burning for a while with no trace of a person keeping it going. There no ash around, no wood and even no oil. It seems just to burn. Above the flame, at first seem to be only white smoke at a distance. Now, seem to be much more solid, ghostly almost, like a being that trap between this world and the next. There are now sounds, that where not there before, muffed but some how seem familiar. The sounds appear to be coming from what seems to be circle of black flames that are centered a few feet outside the fire.
         As time passes, the flames around grow, and the sounds from the flames get louder. What first were just merely sounds now seem like voices, voices that are eerie and strangely echo threw the valley. The smoke starts to harden, almost complete solid in shape of a person. As the figure spins and comes to the front the face takes on an appearance.
         In a bit of a sock you realize that the figure is you. The voices are echoes of words you once said, echoes of your pains, your hates, and your regrets. The black flames are now fully shaped, they are your daemons. The voices that where once whispers, have grow and are now yells, they are faster and overlapping each other to a point where they are just deafening noise. In terror you scream and start to run, you have no idea where you are going but you just want away from the voices, just have to get away, somewhere where you can think, somewhere you can hide.
But, as you run, the white smoke that you are made up spins off becomes white stone and falls to the ground. Each step you take forums the white stone path behind you. It is your path, it is your history, and you have taken every step of it.
         You grow tired to a point where you can no longer run. You stop and look back only for a second to see if they are fallowing. They are there in the distance, they just fallow your path, they are coming no matter how fast your run. In a panic, you turn back and take a step before even looking. Before you can even notice the ground in front of you is gone, you fall, you can do nothing but scream. In the second you realized that the valley is gone, everything is gone. There is nothing, only blankness, an abyss, and you are falling, with no end in site.
You wake up, in a cold sweat, unable to speak. Those same daemons that made you scream in complete terror in your dreams, now steal you voice. You can not speak of them because you do not want to speak of them. The longer they live are stronger they grow. If they grow strong enough will you stop controlling them and will they control you?
          Deep inside the cavern where Lady Vashj dwells, there is a blood elf daemon hunter name Leotheras. Leotheras has been said to have power second only to Illidan himself. No, he does not have the strength of 10 men’s, or greater controls of arcane magic of any beast we have faced. There no gear we can get to protect us, no training to make us stronger. In his blindness he gained a great sight. He can see inside each ones of us and see our daemons. He will rip them out and make us face them. If your daemon is stronger, it and it defeats you. You will become controlled by the chaos, by the pain, and by the hate. You will be controlled by your own daemon. You will turn on us. There is no power in this group that can save you. We will have no other choice and will have to turn on you and kill you.
           So before you take a step into the cavern, make sure your daemons have been put at bay, because if not, you will not be walking out.

Log
Thusday,

Closing ended 5pm, got to the house aournd 630 and me and my sis talk a bunch.

Friday,
Bank was really slow, Took a 2 hour walk around lowerrs.. why does shoping always take so long? thne change all the locks.

Saturday,
Went to visit my dad, which turn into a raid of my grandfathers house. We have so much crap for housing is knida nuts. but less work for me. Went back to lows got more stuff.
Get to the house, check out the roof, It not as bad as I thought from all the talk. I may just silver coat it(its a flat roof) and wait 2 to 3 years to get it done, This means i can pure a litte more cash into the heaer and get a new hermitfire, UV light and Eletrostatic Air clearer along with a really effecent healer and even maybe just get teh AC part done also. I got the electric panel so over the week i may be putting that in and slowly pulling stuff over from the bad box.

So This was Demo Day 1, We got the wall down in kirsten room really easy, wasent much mess, the drywall on the wall came out in a full sheet... never seen that happen before. Next was demo in my bed room. The 1/2 bath i couldnt fit in... if fact Dan couldnt fit in it. So when we where done it look like this If you look at the pic. The was a closent and bath room there. So the wall in the middle right up next to the sink... so yeah it was super small.

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 17:55:27 GMT

Alot of us play games, sports, video, anything for the high points, scoreing a goal, taking down a boss. It gets the heart pumping the blood flowing.

But sometime it take somthing else to really see how fast that heart can pump.

your driver side tire explodes at 65 mph in the center lane of 295.

now that gets the blood flowing..

oh and i am fine.

House Update.

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 20:47:49 GMT

House Update.

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 17:22:04 GMT

The seller has acppected my last counter bid.

Soon i may in fact be the owner of http://homes.realtor.com/prop/1085376656.

The question is how soon. The seller has put a condiosn on acppecting the bid. That the seller can find a reable place to move to frist.

So right now i am not really sure what to do. We planed closing for late setember. already 2 months away... Later? I am not relaly sure i want to go later. It would make my mother happy because i have more time to get more money in the bank. My reator say we should leave it up to a 30 day condional. I just dont know. I rather just have a ferm date. This really wasnt somthing i thought about that happens so it has kinda blind sided me.

Overall this had be a really good week.
Rasie at work, Finding a price for the house we both aggree on, In Wow we got a new boss dowm and came close to downing a 2nd new boss.

So right now, I fell accomplished, happy, worryied, nervouis, anxoius. kinda all at the same time :/

Random Woot

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:16:06 GMT

Its a random woot because i got a random 2% raise!!!

Still waiting to be promoted to the next level of engineer. (usely happens after 2 years) which is another raise when it comes in.

New Tech, Old Movies

"Officials say replacing traditional air conditioners in one Manhattan office tower is as good for the environment as taking about 220 cars off the streets. "

"Credit Suisse lowers the facility's peak energy use by 900 kilowatts, and reduces overall electric usage by 2.15 million kilowatt-hours annually -- enough to power about 200 homes, officials said."

"At the Morgan Stanley facility in Westchester County, the system reduces peak energy use by 740 kilowatts and overall electricity usage by 900,000 kilowatt hours annually."

What is this great system that is reducing power and making the world greener while still keeping cool?

GAINT BLOCKS OF ICE AND SOME REALLY BIG FANS. Yeah its a little bit more complentaded but you get the pciture.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/07/24/ice.cooling.ap/index.html

Ok i know its a great idea. but I always slap my head when we find out that doing things the way poeple did them 100 years ago is cleaner, more effection, and just plan better. It just show how much we just try to make what we have better, then maybe going back to the start and following going down a new path. (Computers are the same way. we still use the base code set that was frist devolpled in 1980's )

It other news i had a great laught that made fun of our time. After moving

bariklefYesterday i came home and my mother was watching singing in the rain on TV. I sat down a watch a bit. It was on TNT i think. It was being payed threw one of those shows that do like how to make a quick meal and talk about the moive you are watching. Anyway they go back to that when the moive ends. And they talk about how singing in the rain was a big hit. a Child on the show ask "If it was so big, why wasnt there a second one". The guys turn around on a carkbored. The guy says "Back then they had somthing called" as he rights "IDEAS" on the bored... This is where i lost it.. The only moives I thought about seeing this year has been 3, or 4th of series or Remakes of a old idea.. Some times it reall does feel like Moive makes have run out of ideas.
