First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 28, 2006 7:50am PSTWell it sure was fun that until yesterday afternoon I had the time wrong. We went to daylight saving time Sunday night, but after 24 years it seems I was still oblivious to the fact that the clock goes forward an hour. On Sunday I already thought it was odd I didn't see the extra hour discrepancy between here and the US, but yesterday when I went to the bank and they were closed I knew something was wrong for sure. Yeah I'm pretty dumb. FYI Oblivion is still pretty great! Just so you know. Also on FileShack

Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Demon's Souls servers extended again
I can't say enough about how cool this thing is. I popped in a 512MB SD Card, and have about 6 NDS Roms, 15 GBA Roms, 10 SNES Roms, and 40 NES Roms in 200MB of storage.
I reflashed the firmware, it gets rid of the "Health & Safety" warning, and the DS comes to the main menu instantly at power-on. The main reason to flash is to circumvent the RSA encryption found in NDS carts, so they can be loaded from ROM. It doesn't even require opening the case of the DS to flash.
Its (supposed) main purpose is the card's built in movie/music/picture/ebook reader software. Videos have to be converted to work, but the software to do so is included and very slick. There are also homebrew mpeg and mp3 players out there that should work without video conversion.
It was all pretty easy, and I highly recommend it. Well worth the $98.

I plugged the power in, fired it up, and nothing. A green light goes on, on the motherboard, but no fans spin up on the Power supply. Nothing.
I am guessing the PS is either dead or underpowered right?
Therefore I need some suggestions on Case/Powersupply.
Has anyone ever used the X-Aspire? How about the thermaltake Mozart? Suggestions?? Eventually I'd like to use this for a HTPC.

There is a giant job fair tommorow at my school, 170+ companies, 40+ looking for SE majors. I just finished tweaking my resume and am leaving to have it printed at Staples or something at 8PM. You have 30 mins to critique my resume and fix any grevious errors, help me shack!
Also, any suggestions for the thick "resume" paper? This shit better not be like $20 for 1 sheet.

I got a fix-it ticket for a dead headlamp. No big deal, right? Though only thing is it DOES work, part of the time at least. If I smack it several times it will turn on. The ticket said I could show up at the police station and upon demonstrating that the lights worked they would void the ticket. That was my plan tonight. HOWEVER, the ticket says you have to show up at the police station at least 2 days before your court date, which in my case is tomorrow. Yes, I am a procrastinating dumbass.
So now I'm thinking that if I show up at court with photographic evidence of my working headlamps, that will be enough. I seem to recall my brother having similar trouble and that's what he had to do. Can anyone tell me what to expect.
TL;DR: I think I'm going to jail.

I'll be moving up to the area in a bit less than two weeks. Down in Santa Barbara, I have Verizon DSL (1.5/384/$35) and Dish Network for my TV (because Cox is overpriced and low quality). Up where I'm moving I understand the default cable provider is Comcast and the DSL provider is SBC.
The questions are, should I try and move my Dish with me, or is Comcast up there decent? A PVR is a must, HD would be nice. And--SBC DSL or, once again, Comcast cable internet? Or have I been misinformed and FIOS is actually available?
Please share your experiences and impressions. I need to get this stuff worked out soon.

tonight is the first weekly Red Orchestra: Ostfront Shackbattle of Doom.
When: Tonight! 9pm EST
Where: Shackserver, ro.shackbattles.com
How: Launch Red Orchestra from Steam, open the console (~) and type open ro.shackbattles.com
Why: Because you like killing nazi's. Because you are a Giant Communist Robot. Or, because you enjoy killing Communists, but then you wouldnt' be a true commie shacker would you.
oh yeah, and the password, if there is one will be the same password used on all of the servers run by themelon.
hopefully we'll have good turnout tonight and really be able to have some brutal battles!

I posted this back in January and got a kind response. It has been a few months now and our readership has grown leaps and bounds. The shack became the earliest seed of what has become our reader-base. Since then, the traffic has been growing exponentially and we're starting to get some nice attention around the web.
If you haven't visited in awhile, take a look at where the comic is going. Or if you missed the original posts, start from the beginning.

So I'm gathering that it's not good to exercise first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, so I ought to eat something before I start working out (cardio, no lifting). What would you recommend as an early morning, pre-exercise food item? Do I want to lean more toward protein or carbs, low fat or not this early in the morning?
