Here’s me going on about my 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege – it was good but not crazy fast, not crazy powerful, and I blew the clutch being a hothead kid.http://forums.mazdaworld.org/101-323-protege-protege5/44750-mazda-speed-protege-3.html
>lame – blogger stopped allowing ftp publishing so I was trying to find a way around it – not too much luck so far, looking into an alternate way. I’m sad I haven’t been able to publish anything lately, and don’t like that my text is no longer stored on my server. I’m going to try and get something going again, I’ve got lots to share, and facebook is very unpermanant for my tastes
Working Out Web Kinks
This is a new post to sit at the top of the page – wasn’t sure if I got this working again or not – in any case I’m going to try and parooze my facebook status to find some fill ins… way too much time has passed and this will be a large hole in my site. Hurt my left hand playing softball on Friday – work tomorrow ought to be interesting. this weekend got to go boating and then camping @ the orchard with Justin & Tracy
>Computer and General Stuff
>I know I’m going to regret trying to type something out on this laptop. I always hit the touchpad and sometimes even jump up and delete entire paragraphs if I’m not paying attention. In any case I’m writing this on my laptop because I didn’t include my northbridge (MCP) temp on my monitor when I was overclocking. I had pretty good CPU temps but the northbridge got heated up way too high when the computer decided to come out of sleep for whatever reason and sit there baking in a 90 degree room with no A/C turned on. Once I…
Scott Tower, Holyoke MA
We found this today – Scott Tower in Holyoke.We walked up the street through the park we normally go to and went up the road we normally don’t. We didn’t even know it was there, and yet it was such a huge part of the town back in the day. I’ve joined a group to help bring it back and I hope these pictures will help you to realize what an important project this is. Please join the cause to save Scott Tower and the park around it. If you ever have visted Mountain Park – think of it as…
Bruised, Salty, and Watery
Got another one I did over my birthday:Bruised, Salty, and Watery. Remix of a remix with an ode to the original – Chicane – Salt Water.
Still Have Time
>There is still time, they’ve extended the deadline, unfortunately this led to my sister’s business being without email for a half a day. I had sent her an email when renewal for her domain was coming up and she said “oh I’m just going to go with this free one” ok, sure… guess things aren’t going that well, go ahead and use the free site. Well, when it expired, sure enough I get a call “my email isn’t working”. Huh, yeah, didn’t think of the email aspect “If I told you email was included would that have changed your mind?…
>Blogger go byebye
>I got an email the other day that blogger would no longer support FTP. That messes up my whole deal, anyone I ever set up. Myself, my business. my sister, all impacted and I either need to get some great content management system up in less then a month and a half or get some ajax going. Kind of lame for them to do this, they sayh it costs too much money but back in the day I gladly paid for Blogger. I’d gladly do it again but that’s no an option. They got bought, it’s been a couple years.…
>Scripting
>So I’ve been playing with the links – you may have noticed. They still update automatically, but need to rewrite the scrolling code so it’s imbedded. I’m trying to rewrite anything iframe to javascript and get things to tie in a little better then the current section format. I’ve realized the blocks don’t really seem to go together but screen size has come a long way since my “throw compatability to the wind” 1024+ super-wide background. So content still flows here and there but lately it’s all about how to better present it. I’m in need of extending the text…
Wicked Game (Mindbender VS Bassboosa)
Put together a mix of Mindbender and Bassboosa, both use Wicked Game in a completely different way, so naturally I wanted to merge them together. Wicked Game (Mindbender VS Bassboosa)
Windows 7 Game Explorer Manual Customization How To
Windows 7 Games Explorer Manual Customization How ToWindows 7 has removed the ability from Games Explorer to Customize out of the box.

>Battlefield 1942 Is the Worst Game for PC
> I had downloaded Battlefield 1942 for the PS3 a while back, shelled out the $15 and it’s relatively good. Destructable environments basic gameplay on what Battlefield should be (not Bad Company) and decent graphics for a console. I was especially excited about the prospect of battling cross-platform. PS3, XBOX, and PC all in the same realm? Sign me up to scalp them with my mouse! In any case the PC version was still forthcoming, but after trying the demo I am abhorred by what they provided for the PC version. No widescreen resolutions, vile texture quality, simplistic scenes, it’s…
Potential Remixes
Here’s some tracks with potential for remixes: Jason Derulo – Watcha SayBritney Spears – WomanizerDeadmau5 – Ghosts N StuffI Remember – Deadmau5 & KaskadeRon Reeser & Dan Sanz ft Myah – EverythingBassboosa – Wicked Game I’m especially a fan of remixing remixes with originals, a la new verse with old refrain, or mix in an additional verse from the old version with the new background. and here’s a couple other guilty pleasures I couldn’t resist:Owl City – FirefliesLMFAO – I’m In Miami BitchMickey Avalon – My Dick
The Perfect Sound (WijiX Sound Off Mix)
Ironically enough I think I found the perfect sound amidst the original, and remixed it up.
The Veronicas – Untouched (Touche Mix)
I’m a big fan of this song, so made some tweaks to it.
Wicked Game – Mindbender vs Bassboosa (v1)
Here’s a mix I put together of two different takes on the Chris Isaak classic “Wicked Game” by Bassboosa & Mindbender. It’s still got some work to do, but I know where I need to tweak – make sure not to leave out the v1 if tagging.
Rainy Morning
I woke early this morning, a cold rainy November day. It wasn’t out of preference, there’s a big change to the phone system at work today. It was still very dark, cold, and I could hear the rain pouring down outside. I didn’t have to go into the office, which is great, a much better way to do work on the Saturday. Besides, making important business decisions in pajamas and disheveled hair always makes me feel good. I’m scheduled to stop by Bryans to assist with the brew today and hoping we can resolve this issue in enough time to…
>nVidia PhysX Performance using Batman Arkham Asylum
>PhysX has been added to the PC version of Batman with the v1.1 update. It does not ship with PhysX settings out of the box. Once installed you are provided several options for PhysX – Off, Normal, or High with various card recommendations. The nVidia drivers allow you to change the PhysX settings – turning optimization on or off as well as the ability to choose which card handles the PhysX acceleration. I had thought offloading PhysX from my 2 x 285GTX2G cards working in SLi to the built-in 980a/780a would make things faster: However, after applying the v1.1 w/…
