by Steve Gibson, Jul 02, 2004 9:55am PDTFinally managed to get my antenna just right to tune in all the local HD channels here in Dallas. I had to get an amplified antenna which seemed kinda silly given my distance but whatever works I guess. Now FOX just needs to join the now and quit calling 480p "HIGH DEFINITION" already. No more Steve Nash in Dallas is a bummer. That wacky Canadian was intense. So keeping with my nomadic ways and given that my roomate was off to buy a house I've moved once again as of today. I'm just keeping a steady pace of 1 move per year for the past um... 6 years? Given that I've only got a few years left of my 20's I should probably be trying to buy property huh?

Short summary: you can set up an auto-updated database of your audio files on some machins], and then connect to that database from anywhere and stream music, one-click download whole albums, etc. all from your web browser. Combine your collection with your friends' collections, give other people logins to your machine, edit a playlist from multiple different places (like work and home) containing files from multiple different places, etc.
And it's free and open-source.

I am sitting here trying to decide what trade skill I want to focus on with one of my charecters.
One charecter is focusing on Leatherworking ... with the other I am debating between these three:
Blacksmithing
Engineering
Alchemy
One charecter is a Druid, the other is a Rogue.

Fucking right! I can't say these things because I'm white, and to say them would label me a racist, but hearing them out of Bill Cosby, a guy who I've always greatly admired (which, by definition, kinda rules out the racist thing) makes me respect him even more!
And it's not just black people! I get tired of catching up with people that I went to high school with (white, black, yellow, red and purple) and having to hear about how "lucky" I am to have a good job. Lucky, my ass. I flunked out of college like the majority of my peers, but rather than moaning about it, and taking up weed and beer as my full time occupation, I worked my ass off and started a career anyway. I refuse to chalk that up to luck. Did I get a lot of breaks along the way? Absolutely! Are there some folks who are poor, or underprivelaged because they hit a stretch of bad luck? I'm positive there are! But to watch my friends and family complain about "the economy" and how "Bush is making everything bad" and that's why they're almost 30, living at home, with no prospects makes me mad as hell! This is United Motherfucking States of God-Damned America! Land of Motherfucking Opportunity! You cannot tell me that you can't make anything of yourself when there are people every day who show up in this country with little but the clothes on their back and make a pretty freaking awesome life for themselves out of nothing but hard work, and a little faith.
Stop bitching, get off the couch, and do something if you're so unhappy. Things are a lot better than they could be; when is the last tiem the bus you were riding on was blown up by a religious nut? The last religious nuts I ran into just talked my ear off, and had the courtesy to shake my hand when he was done.

When I had my timing belt changed recently at a Honda dealership, they told me some other things needed to be done. Since I had it on good authority that this dealership had been rated in excellent customer service and reliability and won awards and blah blah blah, I said go ahead and do those extra repairs, since they were, well, necessary (and not really 'extra'). They also told me I needed a new exhaust manifold because mine has a crack in it. That alone will be $750. I told them to wait on that one.
So later I'm told by an acquaintance of mine, who is big into cars and working them etc etc, that I got completely ripped off and that I was an idiot for taking my car in to a dealership, for repairs, in the first place. He told me to get a car book, buy an exhaust manifold, and replace it myself. Its bolt-on, easy job. I know very little about cars, so I thought hey, why not.
Turns out this part is only available through a dealership, and costs 575 bucks. Well shit, I might as well pay them to put it on, too, since I'm likely to just fuck it up myself.
To make a long story longer, am I getting screwed here? A couple weeks ago I paid around 1400 (over a grand) to replace my Honda Civic's timing belt, front brakes, battery, rear boots (or wtfever they're called), have the front rotors smoothed, and a 100,000 mile check-up and maintenance. I get so fuckin sick of hearing 20 different things from 20 different people about cars. Go here, don't go here, do this yourself, find someone else to do this, that place rips you off, no that place is great, blah blah stfu.
help automotah?

My other two consoles, the GameCube and the PS2 have been sitting dormant for the last couple of months. A bit of a shame, but the Xbox really has kept me occupied.
What good Xbox releases should I be looking forward to this summer/winter? Note I'm in the UK so there are a few interesting titles that have yet to hit the shores, i.e. Riddick.
