Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 25, 2004 5:37pm PDTOff for some 'culture' tonight to see a play at the local 'theatrics center' or what have you. I've been to maybe a dozen plays in my life and they really are hit and miss much more than movies to me. The good ones though in many ways really do leave a much more lasting impression on me than just about any movie. Too bad there are so many out there that suck though. :(

"KARATE EXPLOSION"
i haven't lol'd that hard in a long time.
Know what? I fucking hate that. I bought the game already, don't bug me because you have issues with pirates damnit! So what if I want to image the game so I don't wear out my drive, that should be MY choice.
bah. this has soured me to the game already, which is a shame because I loved CoD.

I've capped a bunch of jerries in Call Of Duty, but most of the time, I haven't really been able to tell if it was me that killed them, or someone / something else. Far Cry really had a nice kick to it, quite solid, quite tasty. You'd kill someone, and you'd really fucking know it.
That, and Far Cry didn't have unlimited menz spawning at choke points until you cross some magical line which means that there are no more menz spawning. Way to remove my sense of acheivement, throw unlimited enemies at me and make it obvious that what matters is walking past a trigger, not killing them all :(
Far Cry 2 - with a decent story/voice actors, that could be key.

getting in on the latest xbox modding craze. I modded, and then installed everything using slayers whatever which has pretty much every app on it already. I went into evox settings, setup ip and all that crap, and then attempted to ftp to xbox from my pc, unsuccessfully.
here's a pic of my setup:

keep in mind I'm using a hub, not a router, so the xbox is NOT going to get its own ip from the (nonexistant) router.

feeling the need for a ciggy, I ran outside real quick to have a smoke. basically, I go out my front door and down a hall where I can hide behind a wall from the wind of the hurricane.
On my way back, the 70+ mph winds caught the utility closed across from my door and snapped the lock hinge, a piece of wood went ballistic right past me and the door swung open and missed me by about 3 inches.. heres a pic: http://www.g0nk.com/shack/deathdoor.jpg
you can see the splintered wood where the lock held it closed in the red circle..
im gonna go change my soiled shorts now...

The first 40 minutes are awesome, the space battle at the end is awesome, the speeder chase is awesome, and Luke's confrontation is awesome.
What really, really ruins it is the muppetry. It's not that there are muppets; there were dudes in suits and puppets in the first two. It's the boring design of Ewoks. They couldn't come up with something more creative than 3' teddy bears? Jeez.
That and the fact that a band of these ragdolls takes out a ton of troopers (the same troopers that laid waste to the Rebel base on Hoth).

I wasn't being really grabbed by hip-hop releases for the last year, but the recently things have picked up. (Gift of Gab solo album, Jedi Mind Tricks, Sabac, and the recent Heiroglyphics album I managed to miss for way too long). I still need to listen to the newest Method Man too.

I'm running a class on how computers work and i want to explain what data 'looks like' as it's going down the cable from a scanner to a USB port.
Obviously the data is transmitted (on one theoretical level) as lots of 1's and 0's . But actually on the wire are these a series of electrical pulses, or peaks and troughs in the voltage.. . Being lazy i dont want to actually research what electricity is, so just the best metaphor/comparison will do.
Thanks

All I personally need is .mp3 and .ogg for my music (cause my MP3 player uses both) and .avi (XVID encoded) for my movies (don't care about being able to play 'em on a DVD player)
Back to the music stuff though. I have been able to successfully deencode and reencode (in .ogg cause it's my favorite) both .ape and .mp4 files.
.ape files are easy cause their program comes with a decoder built in. .mp4 files (ITunes makes them, fuck proprietary formats) are a bit harder, I had to search around for some time to find out how to make ITunes deencode them (I don't even remember how it worked but it did somehow)
Now I have the same problem with .mpc files and my hate for all those fucking formats is growing by the minute. Why can't we just settle for 1 or 2 of them and let the rest die :-(
Anybody have an idea how to turn my .mpc files into .wav so I can make .oggs out of them ? Please *DO NOT* make me use any diskwriter plugin (neither Foobar nor Winamp, they suck. I tried them for .mp4 and it was horrible)

So yeah just a couple of Colts players in there... so I figured I'd have to watch the GB/IND game and root my ass off for the GB defense. And then last night I found out that both of GB's starting cornerbacks are out for this game.
I want to shove my face into a pillow and cry :/
