8I've fussed a little more with this AT&T UVerse stuff today and I'm really pretty sure that once they get the image quality improved as planned I'm sold as a customer. I'll miss you TiVo :( I want you girls to look at these and think really hard.

which do you think looks better? I always tend to post-process my photos in photoshop to bring out the color and sharpen them... but i noticed that most shackers don't... they usually upload them directly from the camera or something.

Is it worth keeping? Or should I just return it and pick something else up.
For the life of me I can't find a single RPG on the PC that keeps my interest for more than 30 minutes. I think I'm just gonna say fuck it and pick up a PS2 this weekend or something.

<3 COCK :) :)
Mom brought him home from a youth orchestra concert where apparently he suffered a collapsed lung before the concert. Hospital sent him "home" but apparently he lives in a dorm or something so we get to nurse birdie back to health. Strange, how life throws people together. What does a collapsed lung feel like?
I got to make the meds-run. Vicodin is surprisingly cheap! Graveyard pharmacists are cute!
Maybe I can get a picture of his newest orifice tomorrow.

It's only been 18-months since I've been out of school and yet this exam is by far the most stressful of my life! I'm sure it's largely because I've forgotten what it's like to go through a busy exam period, because if I had felt even 1/2 of the exam stress that I do right now, during school... oh jesus.
Anywho, I'll either be a happy happy panda or a disgruntled one in ~ 3 hours!

So in the past I've done some light work with databases using php/mysql. The next program I'm working is bigger though and it may have to old user information for thousands of accounts (maybe tens of thousands). That's username, email, pass, phone, etc. etc. This adds up to a lot of data.
I'm wondering if php/mysql can handle that much info? Will it see a substantial slow down? What if a hundred or more people are trying to access the data at the same time?

shit
I maintain and develop a very important application for my company's bussiness. Well mostly I just make sure everything is running, the 1 other person on my team does a large share of the daily work. They have been with the company for 15+ years, but really has no desire to move up or take on different responsibility.
I'm bored of my job, I don't even want to work in this field, but it's all I really know right now. I often joke that I can't be fired becuase I'm the only one that knows the application, I basically built it, but I sit around now that it's running and do nothing, my team mate does all the real work.
At 8am this morning they fired her.
ugh.

After the shock of Christopher ranting about talking to the Feds to the screenwriter and suddenly realising the error of his drunken ways just before blowing out the guy's brains was anyone else saddened to see what was possibly huge dramatic tension building undone by ... a car crash? oh, he was high and a car crash... right.
Of course, the crash provided Tony with the necessary bullshit psychological reasoning ("branch destroyed the seat") to supplicate his pathos in the act and hence provided further definition to Tony as a complete monster whose nihilism is threatening to destroy everything as much as his
Aside from that, the whole Vegas endeavour was more of the meandering pseudo-symbolic bullshit that's been plaguing the Sopranos for the past two seasons - I don't care what it was supposed to mean in regards to Tony understanding Christopher's addiction, it's just more self-indulgent shit with only a couple of episodes left to leave us with a strong punch.
When they moved away from solid well-drawn characters involved in serious mob wars/disagreements they lost a major part of the hook, yes we've had multiple whackings on the NY side of things, as well as a number of death/suicides of the NJ crew but they haven't culminated in anything particularly meaningful, how many times have Tony and Phil been all hunky-dory only to get super-pissy over tiny little things in 2 weeks time... it's fucking boring.
I'm ultimately very disappointed with where the Sopranos is headed, I can see it all winding down for a very muted implosion for the entire Soprano family, where Tony's nihilism destroys everything he cares about and everyone's depressed and everything turns to shit and that's not what I really wanted for the show.

I'm looking forward to Tomb Raider: Anniversary now, especially because there will be a minimal amount of levels in military complexes and more tomb raiding! I also hope the complexity of the puzzles is greater than in Legend.

Quick first impressions:
The game looks alright nothing special so far. Ill hold my final judgement till its released. The weapons seem very balanced in the games I have played so far which is a plus, but I do need to get used to the aiming again. The only gripe I have so far is do I always need to his the D-pad to talk or do ppl who are relatively close to me hear what Im saying like in halo 2?

Seriously. Every attempt I've made at playing and enjoying this game ends in frustration, since it seems like all the other players are jumping around me at twice the speed I'm going, and God help me if I want to try to hit them. I have no idea how the hell people do it. Maybe I'm a slowtard or something. It's a shame because it's an excellent deathmatch game, at least in the botmaches.

It could be summed up like this, funny at times, good gameplay ideas, but just wasn't a 'fun' game. I guess it needed more puzzles or something & the boss arenas were boring. Lots of bugs too which forced me to reload the game a few times.
That said, I LOVED '0828'. That shit was funny as hell for those who know what I'm talking about :) I kept pressing five hoping something would happen :) Oh and the dopefish lives! :)
