Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jul 09, 2007 6:30pm PDTSo then please excuse the bit of calm here today as everyone is scrambling to get ready for E3. As Chris mentioned we'll have guys updating live from all the conferences with 5 of us at the show. Most of the goons arrived in LA today and I'm heading out there tomorrow morning. The plan is to like, do a good job or something. We'll see!

Oh god both of my top wisdom teeth broke... and he said by the looks of the tooth it has probably been like that for 1-2 yrs! I don't know how I didn't notice this until this weekend when things started to hurt like crazy!! That is probably what I get for not going to the dentist for about 6 years! :(
Well anyway I'm getting all 4 wisdom teeth pulled on 07/20/07.. that is not going to be a fun weekend!
Check out my nice X-Ray....

Fear the custom engraving:

I had been eye-balling a pair of Oakley Juliets for so long, but just couldn't bring myself to buy them so long as I still had my Square Wire 2.0s (which I love). Needless to say, my friends rock.

I'm considering a jaunt out to SF for a little over a week in the middle of August and a friend of mine from Australia is travelling out there at the same time (we're going to a big meet, of sorts), he's a student and has decided to stay at some hostel (http://www.greentortoise.com/san-francisco-hostel/index.php).
Now, I'm not a student and hence have a bit more disposable income, I'm also a bit more discerning when it comes to my holiday experiences - so I don't really need or want to do the whole grungy hostel with students and be always trashed and not knowing who's sticking what in my ass in the middle of the night. Plus, I'll have my passport and expensive things with me, such as my new DSLR.
Should I consider the whole hostel thing - not for the "experience" but for the convenience of being in the same place as me old mate - or should I go it alone and book myself into a reasonably priced hotel where I can be a bit more assured that my shit won't instantly go missing?

What's annoying about this is that I've hardly used the machine at all. It's seen very light usage, and has been kept in a cool, well ventilated area. It seems to me that Microsoft really underestimated the build quality of this thing, but it's good to see they're taking responsibility for it. Who knows when I'll ever see a replacement unit, but I'll be calling the XBOX line tomorrow to get them to send me a new one/replacement one/whatever. What's particularly ridiculous is that the manufacture date is August 2006 - the thing didn't even make it from one year of being built. Now that's bad quality control / poor design.

Not sure if this has been posted or not, seem to be having trouble with comment searches, but apparently JJ Abrams debunked the Ethan Haas websites:
"Paramount was also reported to have published puzzle websites such as EthanHaasWasRight.com in a viral marketing campaign to promote the film.[4] Based on the Ethan Haas sites, the film was speculated to be about many fictional monsters, such as Cthulhu, Voltron film adaptation, Godzilla film or the TV Show Lost.[4] These reports appear to have been addressed by J.J. Abrams himself, according to Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News. Knowles claims he received an email from Abrams, declaring www.1-18-08.com to be the official site, and implied there are more to be found. He also stated in this email that the Ethan Haas sites are unrelated to the film, despite early conjecture.[5]"

I have an LCD TV here with a single, uh, "lazy" pixel in a non-critical area. By lazy I mean that it will sometimes look dead (needles in my retinas when I notice this shit) but the slightest rub or touch to the screen anywhere near it will make it blink to life and stay like that for some long amount of time.
Has anybody heard of these getting better or worse over time? I've read plenty about fixing dead pixels by rubbing the area with a Q-tip or whatever. Clearly that works in this case but it does come back.

ugh. So I apparently waited waaaaay too late to make my hotel reservations, and the place is now sold out. Are there any shackers looking for a roomate for quakecon? Ideally, I would hope for somebody I already know (you all know who you are!) but at this point, I'll pretty much take what I can get.

Also, i was in transit in Denver today when i found a FAT wallet in the toilet cubicle. I asked around the bathroom but no one had lost anything.
Without hesitation I handed it in as I found it, and the desk called the name they located on the driver's license. Guy came up and was mega grateful, there was more than $1500 in there.
Mega grateful but didnt even fling me dime. Oh well, if I actually wanted the money I would have just slipped out a couple of bills before handing it in.
me = good christian athiest.
