I'm on Amoxicillin and Lortab right now... Neither one have any major side effects, but the last few days my eyes have been extremely sensitive. To the point where I can'tlook at the ciomputer screen at full brightness anymore (Which is where I normally keep it)
The only thing I can think of that's changed is the medication... Could this possibly be related? Or do I need to get my eyes checked?

I hook my dvd player from pc to my tv, the problem is that I am trying to get it to work to display Closed Caption using tv's CC coder.. NOT closed caption from my PC... I've done that before but I can't figure that anymore :(
I am deaf myself and I perfer CC from TV without buying a DVD Player...
Subtitle sucks, and CC from window media isn't clear as if it was decoded from TV.
We have the gps technology, we have everything mapped (look at google maps).
Imagine being able to get from Point A to Point B, completely safe, no worries about stop lights or drunk drivers.
My Theory: Use extremely precise gps to keep the car in its lane (boundary) and use collision detection and radar to prevent from getting hit by other cars.
I guess I'm boring :(
Hmn, what next.....Jak & Daxter series, maybe.

Star Trek: The Experience. Pretty neat, the Klingon Encounter and the Borg Invasion 4D. In the Klingon one, there is a pretty cool part where you are in a room and then 3 seconds later the room gets dark, you feel a breeze, and you're in a completely different room. I did the backstage pass thing, so they explained how it was done (moving walls, moving celing, lit floors etc..). Borg 4D was an interactive thing combo acting/3d movie. The Ferengi actor, female Klingon, and Andorian actors that roam the area were spot on. From the attitude/crazy look of the Klingon, to the short stature and laugh of the Ferengi. Good stuff.
I just saw Blue Man Group. Fantastic show. It's very different from the norm which is exactly what this world needs... I was laughing a good portion of the show and the music was catchy. I wanted more when it ended. Drinks were expensive at the show, two drinks $17 plus $2 tip. Oi...
Treasure Island show. Meh. Not bad, but not great. It's all skin and sausage. I was looking for something a little more authentic.
Too many smokers... man..... kill yourself not me okay? Bad enough people smoke knowing it's going to give them cancer but chain smoking is just nasty.
There are like 3 Asian TV stations out here on the local cable. I'm not sure if it's Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or what not... Anyone know?

is there some sort of hardware i can buy that takes video files from a dv camera and encodes them to WMV or MPEG in realtime or faster?
the video capture cards seem to do this, but on incoming signals only. i'm wondering if there's something similar that just works on files already on the computer.

I came to realise tonight that Bonds T-shirts are the comfiest and finest ever created.
I have worn Bonds plain round neck T's my entire life, and i have never come across a t-shirt whether it be in Australia or overseas that has been as comfortable as the Bonds round neck.
Their soft, well fitting, 100% cotton and Australian made. What more could anyone want?

But in the meantime, it's pretty fucking annoying having to babysit a sidekick AI. Half-Life 2 is probably the closest any game has come to having good sidekicks, and that's because Alyx and Barney are fucking invincible, so unless they glitch out or get stuck, they can't really fuck up.
But Wind Wanker? This stupid Earth Temple? Yeah, not the best idea. I'm in the 3rd room, and I'm already tired of it. Fuck.

my xbox is toast. i was playing madden (on my new bigscreen w00t) and the fuckin xbox goes out on me THREE TIMES IN A ROW.
the first time, i was playing and the game just froze (3/4 of the way through the first quarter), the 2nd time it froze in the 3rd quarter (with a "your disc is dirty or damaged error) and the 3rd time it froze again, the same way but with a different game.
all my games are in absolute MINT condition, as i thought my xbox was too. so - will microsoft fix or replace this thing for free? im pissed off and have taken such great care of all my stuff, im actually really anal about keeping my video game collection in absolute mint condition...my xbox is going out and its not because of mis-use or damage.
