Customize the Logon, Logoff, and Shutdown Sounds in Windows 10
Windows has always allowed to you to customize different alert sounds from the Control Panel, but it remove your ability to customize a few of them in Windows 8—particularly the sounds for logon, logoff, and shutdown. Here’s how to change them. Source: Customize the Logon, Logoff, and Shutdown Sounds in Windows 8 Yeah — it’s windows 8 but it’s needed for Windows 10 too. I couldn’t remember, but knew it was possible. Why do they even hide it? It’s not like there’s a proprietary “windows start” sound… unless you want to go all retro ’95 with the Rolling Stones, though…
Elder Scrolls Online in 2k
I recently pulled down some new settings in NVidia “Experience” it’s hokey but it’s easy and gives me an idea of what games should run at. It hasn’t not been MAX yet, but there will come a day, I’m sure. I am still running at 1920 x 1080 at least, though @ 120hz. I let go of my 2560 x 1600 for a smoother frame rate, that was limited to 60hz. So I came upon these settings today and had to try it out: Check out the comparison shots after the jump…
5 minute Grand Theft Auto V highway pileup/explosion. – YouTube
Shamelessly swiped directly from Kotaku. Google Now suggested it, otherwise I’ve given up on the ENTIRE Gawker family. The binary lords help anyone who ventures there through a social media site as you will be barraged by the barragiest of barrages. Anyhow… phenominal GTA V video here – not only does the AI make some really great choices, it’s in first person — can’t do that on console, let alone without reaching the “vehicle limit”. Enjoy!

I was a big fan of Mafia II:: Video: Mafia III Reveal Trailer
So I admit I saw this sponsored in YouTube. I really loved the second one. I don’t remember playing the first but the play-ability was decent and the story itself was fabulous. Besides a really really hard part I was stuck on for a long long time, I finally beat it and finished the game. I was not disappointed… by the game, but it didn’t leave the characters in a great spot. I wasn’t even thinking sequel at the time. Hopefully this does as well of a job of capturing the time period.

It’s cheesy that it was the movie that got me wanting to learn more, but I finally got the book from the library and have been dredging through it up until today when I finally got to page 100 where they start to describe the entire premise behind his machine to perform mathematical operations. To say it is facinating is an understatement, I am enthrawled. The fact that anyone can come up with this theory, granted based on previous theories, boggles my mind. It also enables me to see the very lowest level of computing. I look forward to writing…
Almost 2 Months Down
…ad infinitum to go. Today has been excruciatingly difficult. It’s been a busy week — celebrating the actual birthdays on Wed and Thu, making sure the parts for the swing set all arrived on time (picking up the big one from the shipping company directly), assembly of said swing set, a setback in group therapy, cleaning and generally getting ready for the kids’ party. I’ve been a bundle of nerves today. I was able to get a brief reprieve with an online SMART meeting and playing catch with G using his new glove. I can’t believe it’s been this many…
