by Maarten Goldstein, May 04, 2007 4:59am PDTSo it looks like the next Xbox 360 update will lock out people who have fake accounts to pretend they're from a different country. I myself have a fake US account, which I use to buy movies and TV shows. But apparently the content companies are not interested in my money. Its something I'll really never understand, but whatever, their loss. Also on FileShack

I finally got a phone with bluetooth (welcome to 2002 amirite) and was wondering if I could find some software to use it as a remote for winamp (extra functions would also be nice). I'm running Vista btw.

A really good book for anyone who's interested in becomming a writer (or just wants to learn more about how it's done). He gives a lot of advice, some of it may seem obvious, but he also dispells some of the myths of writing such as how every author must know what the plot of a novel will be before writing, what the symbolism is, theme, etc.
He also talks a lot about his youth and how he got into writing, his failures, and how he finally made it big. There's a section at the end where he also tells the story of when he got hit by that van back a few years ago. I didn't know how serious the accident was.
Definite read. Even if you don't want to be a writer I might recommend picking it up just for the biography (first half othe book).

since i'm totally gay for him i figure i can get out of my apartment and meet up with you fgts. i know some suggestions were made for fremont and udistrict, but why don't we try and find a place downtown/belltown/etc to meet up since he's by the convention center? there are some bars that aren't necessarily the uppity type around there (shortys? rock bottom? other?)

"Right now, we're working hard on putting the final parts of Episode Two together. Early on during development we spent a lot of time working on concept art of key areas of the game, so that everyone on the team could share a vision of what the final game would look like. The three pieces below are some examples of that work. Once the game is released you'll be able to see how these concept pieces were eventually turned into the final product."

Renisannce Transitions 2, mixed by Jon Digweed.
Global Underground 3: Taipei (2cd set). Deep Dish
I have been listening to the first one on my way to work, such a nice intro to the day. Starts off mellow then ramps up near the end. Great set overall. I have not heard some of the tunes before but Boul de Nerf is such a nice neat track.
GU3 CD1 is much like RT2. But has a very nice upbeat good feel to it. The craziet track on this is on CD2 - Start Chasing - (Extrawelt Remix) - Alexander Kowalski. Digeredoo electronic tweaked sound that blows your FUCKING MIND. I nearly shit myself when this track his my ears.
On another note. I had picked up a copy of Fruity Loops since me and my pal have used the demo for so long. We are both attempting at creating some music like this. In the weeks we have been playing around with it. I have approached electronic music much differently now. I can say.. hey, I know how that sound is created and tweaked now. Now that we have been getting used to the program we have created somce nice samples. We usually just record and add shit in, changing things. But I have a feeling we are going to have to start using other programs if we are to get serious about making some killer beats..... and maybe some gear. Suggestions?

people are complaining about the planet earth documentary being too violent! hahahaha, and there i was complaining how tame it was because it never shows you what the predators do to their prey. they'd show everything leading up to the kill, sometimes the kill itself, but always left out what happens afterwards.
god, these are grown men...it's a fucking nature show! not a tourism video! idiots....

Each day consists of a few (usually two) muscle groups. For one muscle group, I do three sets; all of them are around 8 reps, and I lower the weight by a little bit between the sets. Then I do the same for the other muscle groups, and then repeat the whole routine a second time.
Monday: Back, biceps, forearms
Tuesday: Legs
Thursday: Chest, triceps
I think this will work pretty well, but if it's somehow flawed I'm happy to hear about it. Although I could do without responses along the lines of, "oh, go read this 400 page document on human physiology so that you can better understand your body!"

Nero keeps telling me it can't analyze the blank discs I put in, even tho they are the same ones I've been using for months with no problems. It's either nero or my drive is busted, but I'd like to try another program but don't know of any that can burn .cue + audio files with no problems.

I'm looking for a free alt for Outlook, in terms of schedule management only? Calender style + hourly basis management would be best.
Also, does Vista come with equivalent of Outlook Express as a default email client? If so, and if I can find a nice alt. for Outlook, I think I can safely settle with Office 2k7 student edition or whatever that comes without Outlook.
TIA!

Obviously things are always changing, I just don't follow the scene like I used to so I want to make sure that there's not something uber coming out like on Monday that would make me kick myself for buying this weekend.
Gracias
