Just had my fucking monitor die on me. Second damn one this year. Damn it, why now… And my room smells all smokey…
Yesterday, went to Eric's, helped him get some plywood and work on his computer, then afterwards we went downtown for the Horrorpops/Reverend Horton Heat concert. Was a kick ass show. Really liked seeing the Horrorpops live, they're a blast to see, and you can't really tell when they're speaking that they're not from America. Rev, as always, tremendous show, and kept going one song immediately after another, only pausing to retune his guitar. Rev's new drummer, Paul Simmons, is a good replacement for Scott Churilla. Fans of the Legendary Shack Shakers might remember Simmons as their former drummer.
After the show, headed back to Eric's, but didnt get much sleep. Slept wrong and messed up my right shoulder, plus his one new kitten kept wanting to play. So I'd get woken up by the cat pawing at my face or something like that.
Outside of that, nothing too much interesting is going on. Been working here on the rescuethedumpguy.com for a friend. Still have a bit of work left to do, but its up and functional. Next gotta get the forum template done to fit the rest of the site.
Things have been iffy the last few days.
Got my networking adapter hooked up, and so far I've not been able to play any games because there were A: No one on B: not enough space on my memory card to download the patches C: The server was down. Atleast tonight I was able to get on for a bit and kick some ass. This one guy, of the 5 or 6 races I went against him, I took him out of the race all but one time. The remaining time, I caused him to get by oncoming traffic. He was getting so upset he was hitting start to begin the race as soon as soon as I got back into the room from the last one. I also found out, that EA's servers are flakey. Got disconnected twice, plus a couple times it also threw errors when it was updating my record.
Yesterday, got a message from Google, saying they're suspending the adsense account because they claimed that there was invalid clicks. Try to log in to adsense account manager, and I'm blocked. Go on over to the google group for adsense, and apparently a bunch of people recently have had the same thing happened. Email from google saying that the account was being disabled due there were invalid clicks (but no info on when or anything, very generic) and no response after it is appealed nor was there a warning before hand. One person did say they got a response, when they had asked for info on what happened, and Google shot back a message saying they would not divulge any information as it is confidential information. I've yet to hear back from Google myself. Shitty thing is that if they do that, you're permanently black listed, unless they review your appeal and decide they closed it in error.
Today, rottenshit had kernel panic 3 times. Trying to transfer things from my one hard drive so I can reformat it. OSX does not like NTFS. I tried then doing it on the only windows machine I have going at the time, but the drive overheated on it part way through, so that crashed and wouldnt reboot. Hopefully can back it up soon so I can reformat it.
iTunes Music Store users, for the next bit, the pilot for NBC's new show Conviction is up for free, along with a music video, and a behind the scenes thing. Yay for free crap!
Not alot is going on today. Made up a few decals. Ikcerawag told me that the new system for trannies is working, so SR3 should handle more than a three speed now. Also just got finished updating packages on funkyshit.
Really the last thing we need to do before release is to get the cars sorted over to the new version, and in order to do that we need to fix the convertor. It's not translating the placement of the camera, so its going to 0,0,0, which is staring at the dashboard.
