presenting

http://taylor2nd.animesynergy.com (unvieling)....

hope yo love it. bye again blogger you served me well, too bad you just wouldn't up your blogging cms a bit, give us some categories and plugins and so on.. come on man. come on.. if you did i probably would still be here.

The power rangers repping it round hurr

2006-08-13T11:59:00.000-05:00

No really i was bored and yknow on my daily youtube digging and came accross a parody made by the same guys that brought us "ITS THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH." man these guys are crazy. guy got his line put in the xmen 3 movie maybe if there's a power rangers movie "god forbid it" something from this might make it in the movie thought i highly doubt it"

no notebook for 3 weeks

2006-08-12T15:56:00.000-05:00

k so i made the move n sold my trustworthy dell inspiron 6000.... moment of silence for the lost soldier.

k the replacement will be a e1605 or a inspiron 6400 really cant wait till it gets here so i can begin the creation of my dedicated ubuntu notebook. might give windows 10 gigs.. might.

for the time being my qtek 9090 will be pushed to the limit its gonna have to do everything and has been doing pretty well so far, browsing instant messaging putty ssh sessions and soon ftp app will be installed. the downside is i cant watch anime for 3 weeks as i have no pc this kinda bytes :(

planning on buying a wireless router today so i can use the qtek with internet at home with some freedom, hope i get one at a reasonable price.

my thumbs kinda hurt right now so i'm done blogging for now..

Crazy ass people

2006-08-09T23:12:00.000-05:00

I've done some stupid shit in my days, bicycle stunts that left my in pain for days roller blading stunts that almost killed me, but from what i've seen in this vid i haven't done nothing at all take a look at these crazy ass people.

Kinda sqeemish this might not be the video for you to watch.. under 18 definatly not for you to watch. press play at your own risk, the actions in this video are not necessarily actions sactioned by the owner of this blog.. (heeellzzzz nooo)

Louis Bennet.. oh the drama

2006-08-09T18:19:00.000-05:00

So this lady died.. right. and she as in canada right.. .and our goverment shipped her body back to ja for the funeral right.. i wonder how much that cost.. her service and the whole locking down of the area for the march that was gonna happen. how much did that really cost jamaica.

I'm amazed at the simple shit they take drastic measures for in this country (not saying the ladies life was simple or she wasn't important or she didn't rep her country or nthing) however there are more pressing matters to be focused on but no we waste resources on funerals and stupid shit like that.. i'm pissed about it yes i'm not a mean person i'm not evil or what you may htink i just think its another dumb move by the gov...

If there are typos in this it was from my rage

regards an angry bloger.

The Most Mind Numbing Movie EVAR!!!!!!111!!!

2006-08-07T22:57:00.000-05:00

I just sat through what is definately the most mind numbing movie ever created since the dawn of time. They called it house of the dead, first thing they did wrong was putthe cheesy dreamcast gameclips in there and i dont mean subtle by changing the actual scene thats happening into a 32 bit looking version.. oh no, they just stick it in kinda like yow look at this seriously WTF?....

The acting.. have you ever seen people that know nothing about what their doing speak, thats the kinda vibe i got from everything in the movie, thier shooting guns and talking about bullets and its obvious that they never held a gun dont know what a bullet is dont know anything. o.O.

Action Scenes. They make absolutely no sense so i'm a human and i'm killing zombies i'm standing beside a zombie i mean centemeters away and i shoot the one thats like 6 feet away makes sense.. hellllzz no it just all felt dumb. there was an action scene with a really horrid instrumental that went on for at least 8 minutes. 8 minutes of pure garbage.

here's a vid clip of it it may take a while to load but watch the garbage.

I GIVE THIS MOVIE A -(negative) 100,000,000 OUT OF 10. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY HAD A $2 DOLLAR BUDGET AND THIS TIME I'M TALKING JAMAICAN DOLLARS.

one bartering system to rule them all

2006-08-06T22:24:00.000-05:00

So at one point the place to be when selling ne thing online in jamaica was techmaica.com the forums there were full of techie's who were always looking to buy that new gadget. and sometimes even when its not a gadget it'll get sold cuase there aren't only techies on techjamaica.. go figure.. some new rules got implemented int he buy and sell section and people got pissed off some left, some just couldn't be bothered ne more and so on.. then a few other online sales sites popped up, example http://www.selljamaicaonline.com/ and i think a http://www.reggeaebay.com which later changed to another url. and there are more.. but non of em quite hit the spot, they were all just action systems that never really moved anybody to use it.. now there comes one heavy hitter, the one bartering system that will own all bartering system that are web based and of jamaican origin. and that is BARTERGEEK. so far the forums are up and man do i gotta say i love what i see so far, it looks like an ajax based forum, i cant wait until the full launch of this bartering system takes place

AnimeSynergy's Ranking

2006-08-06T13:59:00.000-05:00

So i moved up a lil bit in google's popularity from the 800k to the 700k regions, and my overall ranking on silktide moved from a average 7.6 to an 8.7, seems like the search engine optimization is working. all i really need now is a gallery implentation, because from my stats it seems to be what my users are looking for, might have to shell out some cash and buy photopost gallery.

Rain Falls and jamaica shuts down

2006-08-05T19:43:00.000-05:00

Yesterday friday the 4th of august, I left work at approximately 4:00 pm give about 5 - 10 minutes extra. it was raining, i'm sporting my 2 week old bankrobbers (suade btw), itsl ike dead no so i need new ones but that aside, everywhere you looked there was traffic.
So this hot chick at work is giving me a ride home and we were in traffic for i'ld say at least 2 hours,, stuck no movement kinda traffic it was getting ridiculous, and of course the cops with the blaring sirens all of a sudden ye i wanna do my job and get the the crime scene (there is nothing goin on they just wanna get home). the road was chaos man. immagine if jamaica had real problems like snow what would happen, when like inches of snow is on the road people would justsleep at work cuase it would make no sense trying to get home.

it really grinds my gears this traffic situation.. grrrr.

Ubuntu Blowing up. (getting popular)

2006-08-04T10:25:00.000-05:00

no ubuntu is not blowing up people's laptops your people who just read headers and make up a story of your own.. (shakes head at you people). Its really the most popular linux distro if i do say so my self, since novell bought suse and made it an enterprise based distro it seems its level of popularity has sorta fell ( i still love suse though its really got everything, i've never plugged anything in to my suse book (i only have notebooks so i dont say box(pc)). and it never worked.

I love me some ubuntu, it comes in different flavors edubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu (kde environ) ubuntu (gnome environ ftw :p). i'm on my second cup of ubuntu (second distro upgrade i started in breezy badger days and not from the first (warty warthogh) release.

there is only a few and when i say few i mean few things that i cant do in linux that i really can do in windows.

1.

I cant put mp3's on my mp3 player because iriver is gay and made a pact with the devil (microsoft and mr billgates) so that the iriver T30mx cannot be used on any computer that doesn't have windows media player 10. i thought all mp3 players were basically flash drive based.. why didn't i go with the creative muvo i dont know.. :(..

2.

the other thing i cant do as of yet is use my qtek 9090 with my ubuntu setup it is a Pocket PC afterall. I've seen some lil talk of it on the ubuntu forums i might take a swing at it after i finally get ifolder up and running. my stressing project at the moment.. a friend of mine.. enigma got his ifolder up and running but the simias server has began bitchin so now no one can log in.. see enigma's blog

Yaadrides weh the real road machine dem deh!!!!!!

2006-08-03T15:35:00.000-05:00

http://yaadrides.com, a local car enthusiast website that just got one hell of a redesign. Yardrides now sports a new gallery system and what seems to be a cms based website. its looking good with its own custom theme. i give it a 4 out of 5 on the web dev scene

Art or Madness

2006-08-03T12:03:00.000-05:00

hmm. art, pioneers of the many artforms, leonardo, donotello, rapheal, michealangelo... sound like ninja turtle to me :p. now i was at a this event my company put on "customer appreciation" and the venue was a meseum. the art that was on display wasn't ne thing that really moved me but the prices sure as hell did... moved me far away from em so no danger would come to them leaving me responsible for ne damages and liable for the cost.

here are a few of the artwork i didn't even touch the pricesheet so i dont remember the prices

all images were taken with qtek 9090 ppc smartphone :D

the gym virus

2006-08-02T12:27:00.000-05:00

it seems some new virus is in the air, that has everybody running to the gym like its a hospital, eating healthy food and the works. Quite interesting if you ask me. I've injurred myself, doing some calf press's, i didn't strech after and now i can barely walk muscles are sore as ever, gotta strech it out tonight (thats gonna be a real bitch fyi).
I'm thinking about joinin the gym at work but i'm not 100% sure about making that commitment as yet.

Flash and Linux

2006-08-01T14:34:00.000-05:00

Flash and linux really grinds my gears.. i got it working then all of a sudden (months after) my sound just went when playing flash files my life got miserable (i'm a youtube fanatic). yesterday i finally decided i must fix this. on fixing it i realized a bug, whenever i play a flash video that is triggered by a hoverover action script firefox freezes, this cant work, i mean i could be reading a really important article and then bam it freez's and i dont remember the url to go back, total bullshit.

Gonna reasearch a fix for it later hopefully anyway its just a rant, back to gunxsword this anime pwns everything man.

Tux moved from free to a subscription magazine :(

2006-08-01T12:34:00.000-05:00

Let me start this blog entry off by saying NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! mango parfrait (writer in tux monthly mag) what are you guys doing... i love this mag and read religiously every month.

I got an email about 2 days ago stating that tux will no longer be a free digital pdf monthly magazine but will become a subscribtion service, however they're not mean, so they'll continue to give the current subscribers (yayyy for me) there monthly fix for a few months and probably phase it out over time.

My questions is why?

Why the change, was it an overall loss giving the magazine away free? couldn't they have explored other options to pull some form of revenue, maybe sell adspace in the magazine, using their user subscription base as statistics to show the demographic that the magazine attracts and is circulated to.

What am i gonna read when they phase it out eventually?

I dunno to be honest, i've been thinking about linux journal, as a physical magazine replacement for the digital tux. I know i dont wanna pay for a digital magazine i cant read it on the bus, i cant read it at the barber shop, i cant read it when i'm in the shitter (yes i read on the toire :p). So physical linux magazine for the win.

Do i really wanna pay for a digital copy of a magazine?

simply put the answer is definately no, i just hope linux journal can keep me interested. I need to speak to some people that subscribe to linux mags monthly and see the quality of the articles. before i make ne stupid subscriptions.

Bored At work

2006-07-28T14:41:00.000-05:00

i check my job manager, refreshing on a minutely basis.. nothing.. no job, i already did my latest requests, i'm bored, like seriously bored i wish i had brought my laptop so i could continue with some studies. or bring my lpi book so i could get some studies in.. (i'm on lpi 102 now :D).
There's this chick at work that i'm really feeling i'ld probabably play around with her but she left early today. so i'm all alone bored, nothing to do. boredom sucks

I've been doing alot of work on animesynergy as of late new homepage and forum theme black and gold skin for both, a few new mods to the forums and currently we are revising the rules for the forum (conduct). censorship seems to be one of the things that will be addressed.

usage of the forums has really increased as of lately, way more members online at the same time which sorta meks it more fun to use the forums (more timely response to member posts).

The Gleaner Online Customer Appreciation

2006-07-26T07:36:00.000-05:00

Yesterday (the 25/07/06 ) was the gleaner online's customer appreciation day event, held at the mutual life building (2 towers ) off oxford road. so i was really annoyed at the fact that i had to go to this thing, i'm, thinking what does this really have to do with me. HOWEVER i'm glad i did, i haven't had so much laughs in a while, the music was realy good, the art in the gallery... was another thing. and the dancing which persued after the event was officially over made my day. really great event put on by the gleaner online

will dutty wine ever wind down?

2006-07-15T16:12:00.000-05:00

I think the obvious answer is no its been months. since this dance's conception and even thought people have "suposedly died from it" it still wont stop its still the hottest thing on the dancehall scene.
these people are crazy. check out these video clips from a recent duttywine competition

whats new in the life of gtaylor

2006-07-08T19:00:00.000-05:00

So I’ve been away for a few days. Quite a few things has changed. My grandfather is sick very bad, my aunt that I hadn’t seen in six years visited to accompany him to the doc for some treatment, she’s the avid Christian of the family so of course she took us to church for the one Sunday she was here. That visit was my first visit in years, maybe 3 – 4 years. It was a visit I will never forget.
To cut a long story short, I got my infilling of the holy ghost on Sunday July 1, 2006, and within minutes after I decided to get baptized in a (why wait kind of mentality). Now I’m not so sure if I was really ready, but maybe it was for the best.
Haven’t been using my notebook as much as I generally do as of lately, been busy doing other stuff. And playing with my new toy as my friends call it my qtek 9090 (pocket pc and phone combo) Love it :D
One thing I know for sure right now, walking the straight and narrow aint easy at all so many things are gonna have to change, I only ask for the strength and courage to do so. So many things to indulge in and as of lately they've just been presenting them self in great numbers. any way till my next blog.

Saturday night at the movies (silent hill)

2006-06-26T14:20:00.000-05:00

Silent hill 3

Saturday I took a friend out. With some other friends (* how lame does that sound)… to the movies. The original plan was to watch fast and the furious 3 : Tokyo drift. However we got there late and the only other thing that was worth watching was apparently silent hill 3. this movie was originally a video game and even in the movie it still felt the same way. Extremely cheesy dialect. Stupid actions of a woman.. and just pure evil.. I mean pure unnecessary evil.

Now to address the evil intent that manifested it self within this movie. Every one know s the days of good always winning is basically over however. This movie just went far. Nothing good came of it. Not 1 thing. All that was granted was revenge. And death on parties (both the protagonists and antagonists). So nobody won but evil.. kinda weird. This is probably one of those movies that you should shield your eyes from. No real purpose just dark, sick evil sadistic satanic stuff. The movie was well executed however
The director knew what he was doing. There were some pretty neat thriller like moments. Esp this lil dance –ish like scene with some sexy (but gross, but had lots of cleavage I mean really nice racks..) dead nurses sorta doing the Michael Jackson thriller thing.. was kinda funny. I’ld probably give silent hill 3.5 darkness’s out of 5

horrible work day :(

2006-06-23T11:01:00.000-05:00

so i decided. i'm not taking my note book, its heavy. and it annoys me when i have to be transfering things back and forth to and from my work terminal, cuase they dont have me on the network (laptop). so i just said to hell with it no more laptop to work.

got to work.. the server that i do coding on was down for like an hour, finally it came back up (the decided to plug it back in) then i updated the copy of the project i'm working on that was on my laptop from my thumbdrive, and pulled down the latest copy of the db from the live test site and ran the queries to populate the local test db. everything was ready. on loading the home page.. no contnet and nothing but errors in the retrieval queries. reason the lame lil box is running mysql clinet 3.23.49.. wtf. mysql is up to 5.1 now do something bout that nuh... so my queries aren't working i need to test some stuff i cant do anything. this some serious bullshit man. so i either have to downgrade my queries to use mysql 3.23... date functions which i would have to update when i'm about ot put on the live server which is running a mysql client versino of at least 4.1 (the beggining of the date() implementation.. (I'M NOT DOING THAT). someone needs to update the mysql client version on the testing server like right now.

nwc and jutc strike

2006-06-21T07:39:00.000-05:00

National wather commission and Jamaica urban transport company decided they were gonna strike.. the jutc strike strated yesterday at 5pm (yeh when i get off from work) so there was no bus to take me home.. nice work you assholes. eventually i get something. i get home about 6:30 or 7, take a 30 minute nap, then about at 8 i said time for a shower....... NO WATER. (these nwc bastards) and i'm one of the unfortunate ones who dont have a tank so i mean there was no water.

fastforward to 6:00 am in the morning. Wake up start preping for work.. shower time. .still no water (jutc has resumed their work so i figured hopefuloy nwc did the same). still nothing. its now 7:39, still nothing.

this is my question, is it legal to just turn off everybody's water like that. i mean we get it.. ohhh your important to the whole island but wtf.... seriously you cant possible do that. i say king fish raids nwc workers right this very moment cuase this is some serious bull.... i'm missing work at a very crucial moment (close to the roll out phase of my application)

NWC GIVE ME MY WATER BACK YOU BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(angry rant and rave of a black man who needs to be at work now)

Development Frameworks Are the Future

2006-06-20T23:15:00.000-05:00

I came upon quite allot of web development frame works and i just wanted to share with everyone who doesn't know.. as a web developer you probably sometimes hate your life.. esp with applications that require lots of c.r.u.d (creation,retrieval, updating, and deletion) that part of the application is generally the most annoying,, tedious and just overall disgusting.
during one application i was approached by 2 other clients to start developing an application for each and i was so sick when i started.. i was doing the same thing x3 (for each application) so now I'm investigating different php frameworks, not exclusively php but rather web development framework (ruby, python etc..)
one interesting article and application i came across to solve crud issues can be found here .

Now onto the frameworks. I've mainly been doing reading on p.r.a.d.o (php rapid application development object-oriented), followed by turbo gears and trailing last is ruby on rail, each frame work utilizing a different underlying language for the dynamic processing (php, python and ruby in the respective order). so far I'm mostly interested in Prado and turbo gears. I'm seeing easy utilization of Ajax technology in very innovative ways, which intrigues me.

the next step i plan to take in rich web application development is open Laszlo, a very interesting framework, open source of course (as is everything above which i have discussed). It would seem to be an open source version of macromedia/adobe's flex. take a look at these various frameworks, make your life easy as a developer. don't grow Grey hairs and lose sleep over code. spend more time at the beach and less time programming.

Best Day at work

2006-06-12T20:14:00.000-05:00

So today i went to work, and it was such a cool vibe in the office, the manager and 2 officers were not in office and it was such a cool vibe. nothing but jokes everywhere, though tomorrow people may suffer from all that fun and no work,( and it riegned chaos on the petty peons when the officers returned ).

I have more to write but i'm so hungry i'm gonna go find something to eat :s till next time.

the battle was fierce but i ubuntu'd victorious :D

2006-06-11T19:38:00.000-05:00

so after a day on the battle field of linux bourne again shells and changing runlevels to check if system updates were applied properly i sit, and type on the keys of my newly tamed ubuntu 6.0.6 dapper drake operated dell inspiron 6000. udated this crap using a 256mb connection yes it took forever 8hrs to finish downloading the update files anda bout 45 minutes to apply them. after that my wireless was broken and phpmyadmin wasn't working properly, after digging through my conf.inc.php files for php myadmin and tampering with the blow_fish_secret variable i got php myadmin up, the wifi was way more trouble, tried bcm42xx-fwcutter but to no avail, turns out that it doesn't support my card's drivers (bcmwl5a.inf). so i ended up reverting to ndiswrapper. did this maybe 3 times before getting it properly, but next time my wifi breaks it wont take me more than 1 min to fix cuase i know it inside out :D, after all cli work i was in the mood for scripting so did some php work this lil project i got comming up (tshirt designs previewable via a website :D) and now i need to get food cause i haven't eaten becuase of all this work from morning.

Know you worth

2006-06-09T22:40:00.000-05:00

Today I got asked a question by a co-worker and I honestly coulnd't answer it.. it was how do your rank you self as a programmer from 1-10, now this is the profession I went into right after college, left and went into a job like 3 months after with ac ompany called cssjamaica for a year and then like 3 months after that I went to the gleaner and have been there for about 6 months now. and after all that I still couldn't look at my progress and growth as a programmer and give a honest number, I honestly dont know, i've been pondering on the question all day, and came up with 7 on the local market. more than a smart typist for sure, but i'm starting to question if i've lost the passion for programming, has it become something that I just use to get by (paycheck).. I dunnoi need to think about this some more apparently.

Stupid integrated gfx card

2006-06-06T12:14:00.000-05:00

Cant seem to do anything thats video memory intensive on my system when in linux reason.. i only have 8mb worth of video memory, the stupid i915 agp card cant be set from the bios so i'm stuck with it as is, when in windows however it works in a dynamic nature, goes up if needed goes down when not being used.

Checking in

2006-06-06T12:03:00.000-05:00

nothing really to blog about just blogging for blogging sake and just to do it i'm gonna say the world blog again :D.

recent updates in the linux world ubuntu 6.0.6 (dapper drake) has been officially released so most are scurrying about ot update i'm still running 5.10 (breezy badger), i'll update when i finally get the time. things been going alright at work i guess, however with me i'm not so sure, body dont feel right, planning to head to the doc end of this month see whats going on. hope its nothing more than me worrying about random nothinness.
head from my dad this month, his birthday was on the 1st of july, work has him under pressure, sound like him tired.

another thing to touch on, the world cup, both worldcup foot ball and world cup cricket it has the world going crazy apparently. you can get your latest news for both at http://worldcupindex.com i'm not that much of a sports guy though :(

the last thing i gotta touch on is XMEN 3 THE LAST STAND... WAS THIS MOVIE GOOD HELLZZ EFFING JYEAAHHH....

jean kicked ass, the juggernaut called kitty a bitch. there was killer action for most the flick, it was good over all, there were slight glitches in the story but it was great non the less i hope xmen 4 - 5 and 6 is no less disspaointing (yep theres gonna be a second trilogy) the crappy title "the last stand" just signify's the ending of the pheonix story arc. i'm not sure what 4, 5 and 6 are gonna be about, and then there's the plans for wolverine and magneto to have solo movies. they all better be good,

on the note of xmen kinda funny how intellect got pwned by the mind numbing action of xmen in relation to the davinci code and xmen's performance at the box office i wonder who's gonna contend with the next big super power to be released; that is superman, we wait to see.

hmm frostwire

2006-05-30T00:22:00.000-05:00

the icy version of limewire, for nix.. finally set it up in my ubuntu partition so no more irc for simple things i could find on a simple p2p client god bless frost wire, found the how to on ubuntuforums.org, you'll need java 1.5 first though the how to on that can be found in the ubuntuwiki.

Burning happily with linux

2006-05-23T12:45:00.000-05:00

I honestly dont burn cd's that much.. who does... but i had to the other day and man was it hell, i ended up having to make an image with k3b and then sending the image over wifi to a friend and openning the image with deamon tools then burning hte contents to a disc.. k3b would not work, nor would gnome baker. today i fixed it though.. VICTORY IS MINE (in the words of stewie)..

pretty easy fix too, for the k3b fanatics, adding your self to the usergroup that k3bsetup uses to burn should be enough, but i did that and i still had some problems with the underlying app that kde uses (cdrecord), i ended up having to run this comand from the launcher (kdesu k3b) which is essentially runningk3b as root. after that kde worked fine.

now for gnome baker, this is what you do

um add your self to the root user group from the user admin dialog or you can do it via cli (as su: type adduser username groupname) then after that do

chmod +s /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap

and with that gnome baker should be working.. my next test is gonna be with nero linux i'll blog the details of that experiment.

I cant burn cds :(... T-T

2006-05-21T16:53:00.000-05:00

so k3b doesn't work and gnome baker doesn't work (both are cd/dvd burning apps for kde and gnome respectively. the underlying problem is crecord the app that both applications use to write to the discs. it doesn't seem to have the needed permissions to write the discs.. i honestly dont get why.. i'm thinking to go try burning a disc why logged in as root and see what happens (thing is i set the program group usage to root and it didn't work.. this is quite annoying now.

Hostja... quality and reliable hositng my ASS

2006-05-17T08:18:00.000-05:00

NOW TAKE A LOOK THIS PIECE OF SHIT HOSTING COMPANY!!!!! REALLY WTF IS WRONG WITH THE OWNER. the guy doesn't pay his bill right.. and instead of being a man and say.. this is the situation.. the guy does the cowardly thing, he goes invisible. he dodges everybody. his contact numbers go straight to voicemail.. I now know why everyone cant have guns cause i'ld find him and i'ld empty a clip on him to show you how upset I am.. me and this kid go back to highschool, and this is how he treats his friends.. cant believe this shit.. the sad part of it is I should have seen this comming. i see how he treats some people, and i shouldn't think that i am any different.

Kubuntu.. my thoughts

2006-05-04T00:06:00.000-05:00

same old kde big, bulky.. and alot of stuff i dont really need. i'm sticking to gnome.. >:p. gnomes interface just looks clean and sleek. i'm loving ever second of it. i'm quite convinced that linux hasn't been so easy.. seriusly ubuntu seems easier than my days of suse 9.3. apt-get is my new best friend indeed.

Ubuntu and me

2006-05-03T20:25:00.000-05:00

on a serious note i forgot that i have a windows partition. every single thing that i would want to do on windows i can now easily do on ubuntu.. nothing is the problem no difficulty updating software anymore apt-get is a dream comethrough, its similar to gentoo's emerge concept, who know's maybe.. maybe i can get rid of the windows. let ubuntu take over the hd, esp with dapper drake comming up.. i cant wait.

I'm a Weck

2006-04-26T09:23:00.000-05:00

Honestly I gotta do something about this sleep situation. compounded with the fact that i'm not used to being awake at this hour of the morning. I also dont sleep untill its already monring ( 2 - 3 am) now, i'm constantly falling asleep at work and everywhere. i probably woudl fall asleep while eating lunch. its horrible. I cant tell the last timei slept within the same day. meaning before 12am. gotta figure out a plan to give me enough sleep hours.

new work hours 8 - 4:30

2006-04-25T11:53:00.000-05:00

so no longer can i brag and say hmm i'm just getting up at 10:00 am to go to work i now have to get up 5:30 or 6:00 to get ready to get tow okr hopefully by 8, i've done this for 2 monrnings and still reach to work at 9:00 am traffics a bitch every morning. i should get a pic of what traffic is like and post it tomorrow. but i had no clue that you feel this much tired when you have to wake up at that hour. i'm at work yawning from monday today was no better, as soon as i sit i wanna sleep on the bus i wanna sleep. this cant work. I try going to bed earlier but i honstly cant too many things to do, ubuntu stuff, my websites , watch 2 anime, speak with my bredrin bout an upcomming business, plus i do things around the house in the afternoon as i cant before i go to work.. this sucks. there is literally no time for sleep typically i go to bed 2:00 andi gotta get up to go to work by 6:00 thats 4 hours of sleep really wont work. gonna have to push some things off my daily schedule.

Ubuntu Installed

2006-04-25T09:50:00.000-05:00

Once again taylor2nd takes on the world of linux.. the battle has just begin and linux is pwning my ass. omfg, i've forgotten so much and what makes it worse i dont really know how to do ne thing too tough as i'm so used to suse :(. now i gotta be using sudo to do everything. wtf is that.. The reading, the research,, all the same things i had to go through with suse gonna start now.

I'm running ubuntu breezy badger on gnome enviroment gonna install kbuntu in a minute cause everyone knows that kde raawwkssss ^^;

over all ubuntu seems cool though, its pretty and it doesn't hang as much as suse did, suse was sort of a memory hog, also there is wobbly windows in ubuntu wichi must have. sadly only dapper drake allows this and a proper build wont be released till a few weeks from now.

Anime Trading Day 2.0

2006-04-13T13:58:00.000-05:00

about 4 - 5 weeks ago there was an anime trading day brought to you by animesynergy it was good. alot of sharing went on, free fansub anime got distributed among the members that weren't that exposed to anime, the move sorta sparked alot of discussions on the forums which means the day was a success. Wish we had more members at the last one, it would have meant there would have been more participants in the anime discussions held recently due to the last trading day.
If your an animesynergy member and your reading this i hope your there, if your not and you live in jamaica and wanna come head on over to http://animesynergy.com/forum sign up, introduce yourself in the introduction forum and ask about the trading day.

Freakish weather and i'm sick.

2006-04-05T12:12:00.000-05:00

Any time there's any freakish rain of any sort i always get sick. I'm always going home or going somewhere when it happens. If only i didn't have to be walking when it happens.
Then it gets worse, i get to the bus park there's only 1 bus and believe me an ocean of people. so after the fight to get into the bus they dont stop when the bus is full.. ohhh now they keep packing it and packing it. till there are like 3 rows of people standing. the windows are shut and you are suffacating and you wonder is this what hell is like... then the draffic density hits you as soon as you pull out of the busspark and you realize; its gonna be a really really really long night.... press play on mini disk player... batteries are dead. its the day of badluck i tell you. it took me 3hrs+ to get home yesterday 4/4/06..

this is why this has to be the year of the car dammit. >:| no more walking. i'm trying to save like crazy dont need a dream car right now just wanna be mobile. thats it....

Champs Results

2006-04-02T16:33:00.000-05:00

So the victor of the event for another year it seems, is Kingston College. My old school came in fourth. Now the question as to wether I cared or not.. I really dont know. I'm sorry they didn't win but i think my Patriotism died when I left highschool, or probably its just that i'm not into track and field events at all.

Heard there were small lil crappy fights mostly bottle throwing between school representatives in the stands. but nothing too big.

2006 issa vmbs sponsored girls and boys champs

2006-04-01T16:23:00.000-05:00

Its the final day; when the champs fans go out and go insane, especially based on the fact tht this year security is tighter than ever. the board than planned the security for champs i think was headed by my old principal From Wolmers boys highschool, Mr Dave Myrie. Anyone who knows him knows how adamant he is about decipline hence we expect no violent outbreaks at champs this year.
Generally I'ld never even consider going to champs but based on the fact that the security is as described above i really thought about it, however i'm no sports fan, and then again its even worse with track and field events how boring. To the track and field fans tho i'm happy that they can safely head to the national stadium and enjoy a peaceful sport event with no fear at all. The day is yet to be over so lets all kick back and see the results of it all.

Intersted in tracking the scores, pictures and status of the events in champs head over to golocal jamaica champs and click results or better yet search golocal champs results

Intersted in watching the event live head over to http://backayardtv.com

Breaking News in the manga world

2006-03-23T23:20:00.000-05:00

sasuke has returned.. well we haven't fully seen him but kishimoto gave us a hint of what he'll look like {shadowed sasuke} in the latest naruto manga, "chapter 300". I cant believe i've read 300 chapters of manga. damn. I really impatiently wait for the manga to materialize into anime. please let the fillers stop soon.

New notebook, I'm loving it

2006-03-22T23:51:00.000-05:00

Yar finally I have a real laptop/notebook, the dell inspiron 6000 is the proud replacement for the hp nx9005. upgrades are mainly

2 extra usb ports (2.0)
built in wifi (good bye wifi card)
expandable to 2 gigs of memory(hello 2 gigs of memory next month)
60 gig hardrive (moving from 40)
multimedia buttons on the front panel (makes listening to music and watchig my vids easier )
and the ergonomics of this notebook superceeds the hp by far.. it just looks wayy cooler feels better. i have no regrets.

the only con with this machine is that its sporting a celeron m processor but its a mobile processor so i get decent battery life as its optimized for mobile usage and it still seems to be faster than my hp notebook (probably fsb speeds), oh and no i dont have the dvd-/+ rw burner unfortunately T_T

big up ma bredrin that bus me on it still, but him getting back the same model with some upgrades dvd burner and centrino processor.

The Young The Bold The Porn Stars

2006-03-14T03:13:00.000-05:00

Yeh in recent news on the highschool scene this lil kid wont say her name from the Imaculate conception highschoool for girls, was videod while giving this fellow from wolmers boys highschool head. ( oral pleasures o.O ). Now really if she wanna give head to the world there's no problem in that its what she likes. but why allow it to be recorded. the camera phone didn't seemed to be hidden it was just there in her face like hmm look at you hoovering that thing.. the outcome was she got hospitalized by her own mother and brother and migrated after getting out.

There was another case like this with a girl from holychildhood.. yah allowed her self to be recorded while providing oral pleasures LMAO.. these idiots.

p.s the guys are assholes too, i mean if a girl trusts you enough to allow you to record her doing something like that.. (why she'ld feel you need to have that on tape is beyond me). then you should at least respect her trust, she obviously believes it would be something for your private use or something i dunno. whatever still they published it. edited it and even put background music.

this kid might be the next biggest thing on the adult entertainment scene, although sadly the video revealed him to be quite the little man. his reputation with the ladies will probably plumeth. the repercussions of ones actions should always be thought of

the weekend didn't suck entirely

2006-03-12T21:40:00.000-05:00

so i left my endz like 7 headed up ma bredrin in mona for the ritual xbox slaughtering with the guys. played guilty gear and people died yknow. i played one handed at some point because daniel was weak. in any event guilty gear is proven to be the best fighting game ever created on the face of the entire planet yah..
there was a hot girl over but she was owned :(, and another one that was cute but she was young, food was bk , moving during the burger king massacre was 16 blocks with bruce willis and mos def.

saturday ended with me watching shakugan no shana and talking to ma sistrin on the phone,

sunday was timesplitters, people died. again. multiplayer on xbox is the greatest thing ever, seriously... food was kfc with a side of pasta.. there was no movie just alot of conversations that made me wonder if there was like some kinda drug or weed smoke in the air.. yaw one of them I'm high conversations that goes no where.

weekend was lame.. but at least i wasn't bored at home.. yah. :D need to figure out next weekend from like thursday. so i dont end up doing nothing at all.

Its a Saturday.. And I'm home doing nothing

2006-03-11T11:27:00.000-05:00

Been the first in a while that a saturday has caught me home.. but i'm so broke if i head out on the road i run the risk of no return lol. in anyevent it gives me a chance to watch some anime i've been downloading this week namely "shakugan no shana or in english burning eyes of shana".
gonna also do some work on one of the techsyndicate sites and think about my next website idea. yah i wanna have a next website soon, I'm wondering if i should wait until animesynergy is a bit more stable but. i dunno, i might begin it before, even if its still just development phase and hosted in a subdirectory on one of my hostjamaica server packages it doesn't matter, animesynergy is the only child and needs a bro or a sister site so daddy's gonna work on that (how looser like right).

till later Ja mata Ne.

I miss linux

2006-03-10T21:15:00.000-05:00

I really gotta get a new machine or at least a bigger hd for my current notebook. it sickens me that i cant run linux anymore. i really miss it. enigma is now light years ahead of me and maybe malloc-x as well, which really sucks in my opinion. I wanna see what the latest suse distro is like but before that i'ld like to try installing ubuntu. and see what all the hubub is about,sounds like its more dfficult but sounds like its gives more control, the question is do i want all that control over the nix box things got difficult in suse at times. but hey who cares, i just wanna go back to my nix days. so donate a computer to me okay :D

the young adult and his attempt to be accepted

2006-03-10T20:52:00.000-05:00

So you could say that in order for people to be accepted in society. or at least their social circles there's generally some reqiurment one that i've looked at and realized works well for acceptance is the mastery of some skill. "being the best in it" being number 1 of some sort.

like for example a total geek is still respected for the fact that he is the best at math or at school work in general.

the jock kind of kid is respected for his mastery of ball handling, "football skills"

so i sorta looked at it and applied the principle to my self. HOLY SHIT I'M NOT COOL AT ALL AM I. I really cant say I have mastered anything. i'm not number one in anything i just can do a whole lot of stuff,

the things i'm intersted in are technology, programming, anime, reading.

now i'm really not that good of a tech geek, i just know enough about the innards of a computer [ mechanically that is to help my self ]

pragrammer thats where I excell but heavens no i'm not the best, i know peoplethat run circles around me,, ten times around me even.. 1 tahrief hilton is one person in particular i wonder if i can ever walk in the same algorithmic shoes as that kid..

anime - i mean i watch alot but i'm not sure i can say i know enough about it to say i'm the guru of the topic

I read if it intersted me., however there are lots of things i'm interested in have access to the information but when i start readign i loose interested but i'ld finish a dan brown book in like a week.. why beats me

Seven swords

2006-03-08T23:21:00.000-05:00

its not a new movie i think it was released in 04 or o5 but man its cool its apparrent that i'm now going through another sword/blade phase in my life. but anyway. the flick definatly goes up there in the list of sword based movies, seven swords each with their own storyline behind their names

heavens fall

made after the diety. made of over a thousand swords all melted by master shadow glow to create a free flow method sword

the dragon

possibly the sharpest swod that ever existed, made from copper. the sword can easily cut its opponents weapon in half. the dragon generates a sound when it strikes the faster the strike the louder the soun.

the sound of this powerful sword is a warning to its enemies

the deity

the first weapon that master shado glow made on mount heaven. this sword he used to break rocks to establish new habitation due to the limited resources, the sword looks crude and blunt, representing the masters resentment at the biiginning of his stay at mount heaven. the diety is a symbol of anger and vitality if it shoudl be cut by the draggon it would take three strikes to break the diety at its thickest part

the unlearnt

this sword was not made by master shadow glow but only repaired. originally the unlearnt belonged to anofficer "fu qingzhu", an ex officer and executioner fromt he misistry of punishment. fu lost his mind and fell unconscious in the desert where he was saved by master shado glow.

after repairing fu's bloodstained and forboding evil sword the master said "UNLEARN YOUR PAS AND FIND THE RIGHTEOUS PATH".

the unlearn is a black sword and can launch a devastating strike by generating a long air stream. its even more powerful if there is dust or rain in the air.

the transience

The tranciencewas the last sword master shadow glow made. it is made froma meteorite and reflects light when it strikes, it is also extremly sharp as well as the onlys word that can equal the dragon sword. when it strikes it reflects the light in the surroundings. the swords attack arrives int he mids of an array of light beam wich makes it very difficult to defend.

The Celestial beam

a double sword with one long and one short sword. the celestial beam glows as it strikes. it is the bightest sword among all . the two swords attack simultaneously with a constant change in the attaking angles and positons

the star chasers are another of master glows creation.. no info on that one tho

the story of the dragon sword and its user in the flick is sorta sad, the transience as well. everybody else's isn't that horrible, i sorta feel bad for the user of the heavens fall, she isn't loved by anyone :(.

This odd thing we call life

2006-03-08T23:14:00.000-05:00

Its really depressing yknow. every day you get up same routines and its just boring lame troublesome even. get up go to work get cheque pay bills same thing over again. i'mbored of it all. sometime i wish i had a job like i dunno killing people for a living for the goverment or something. but then they'ld need me to take the fall for them on something eventually and i aint going out like that. no way. ne way..
Everyday i'm annoyed by things too. like headign to work i gotta walk from my bus stop to the office thats a damn far walk btw but i do it every day to and from. Down town kingston is not the nicest place ohh heavens no. but what makes it worse is annoying asshole people who just stand up doing nothing. in the way, while your trying to get to work on time or at least within the grace period your given. and these assholes stand up and your saying excuse and they're just there you knwo like "duuhhhhh excuse?? duhhh what does that mean duuuhh?" DAMMIT MAN SOME TIMS YOU JUST WANNA SMACK EM UP SIDE THE HEAD. but then your impulse controll section of your brain kicks in "hold on there fella, your down town gunshots knives etc" just wait till i get my katana bitches. then everyone gets it.. samurai style :p.

i'm just ranting after having an bother some day dont take me 100% serious i'm basically saying i'm bored of my everyday routines and i hate walking solution get a car and about the routines i guess i gotta move up so i can get some traveling in my job package or something.

Its decided I'm buying a katana set

2006-03-07T03:05:00.000-05:00

yah the hatori hanzo replica set from kill bill. 3 pieces of hatori hanzo steel. i cant wait to get my hands on it. i'm seriously gonna buy this tho i've been wanting a katana since my first episode of kenshin and i've seen countless more samurai anime so its an exponential increase inthe desire to have one. dont worry i dont want to cut ne one.... well as yet. but i definatly am gonnaget the katana's

The new Camera :D

2006-03-05T04:16:00.000-05:00

Yar Thanks to ma bredrin I got a new cam the fuji finepix s3100. Its really cool, only 4mp but it makes up for that 1 extra mp with a wicked 6x optical zoom and 4x digital. I've taken some nice stuff with it so far. real nice. just need a 256 mb xd card and i'm set.

A Bum To Be

2006-03-05T03:27:00.000-05:00

I want WiFi Now

2006-02-11T19:16:00.000-05:00

trust me i'm on a wifi high right now. i need me a wirless router like yesterday, i'm at a friends house now using his. not having a cable plugged into your notebooks is the best feeling in the world. it just is. I think i'm making that investment by wednesday or thursday the latest of this week.

Backwards technolgy step

2006-02-11T19:14:00.000-05:00

I bought a 3650 about 2 weeks ago I feel like i made like a mile worth of steps backwards buying this phone. essentially it can do everything my p800 could with the absense of 16mb internal memory and a uiq pen based system but w/ei guess. it works and i can finally hear people when they call me "my v400 speaker was sorta malfunctionng".

Forums back and legit as ever

2006-01-22T19:11:00.000-05:00

I"m finally strait with em vb cats. I got the forum license the members over at the boards donated and we got the license. Thank god for that.

Sites up but the forums down

2005-12-30T15:10:00.000-05:00

Yep that is the situation. no forum at the moment. I need to raise 160 u.s dollars to get a license to run / operate vbulletin on my site i wanted to use funds earned from ads as i dont have the capital to inject into the site. but i guess i'm gonna have to throw in cash from my own pocket as well. a few members have already made donations toward reviving the forums so far we are at $17.46 (USD) hopefully we can get to 160 before the first week of january is out. Everyone misses the forums. I know i do.

Christmas.. it came and went in the blink of an eye

2005-12-26T00:11:00.000-05:00

Christmas came and went quickly as it came. Majority of the companies used it as a marketing/advert/promotion scheme which worked flawlessly i'm sure their' sales went a bit through the roof. the meaning of christmas seems to be forever lost..

Second Week of Work

2005-12-20T13:12:00.000-05:00

I've rejoined the workforce though in my eyes not in full effect but i'm liking the hours tho. 4 hours per day for the same paycheck as the last one.. to me is an improvment. also i still have time to run AnimeSynergy.com and help administer PartySyndicate.net so all in all i haven't signed my life away which is what my last job at cssjamaica felt like.

The AnimeSynergy story has come quite a far way now I even got it printed off, currently reading to catch up so i can make some contribution posts.. I fell behind in the story :(. Just a quick blog entry from work I'll hit ya'll later with whats been going on with me as of late.. dad in the island shopping most weekends :D its been great believe me :D

The best birthday ever

2005-12-13T07:14:00.000-05:00

you know i think its godsent each year i get a job on my birthday. last year i started at cssjamaica as a web applications developer on my birthday this year i found out i got the job at the gleaner a little later but a few days after my birthday. My first day of work was yesterday the 13th of december. So this morning my dad calls saying he's coming over to look at my cell phone which was giving trouble to see whats up with it and he's bring something my sister bought for me. i'm like yeh and went back to bed.about 7:00 am i get a phone call i'm at the gate. i go outside and bam on the front seat, what do i see. Two special edition anime dvd's Ghost in the shell 2 innocence along with directors cuts and making footage. and Appleseeed limited collectors edition with bonos disc and a lot of extras and a uber cool cover yep i love my onee chan ^_^. My anime collection grows. I got one thing i know i gotta buy as soon as it touches america and thats advent children.

Rejoining the workforce

2005-12-09T14:29:00.000-05:00

As of monday coming i'll be a contract web developer for the gleaner.. nothing permanent unless i work for it.. which i will. pay isn't much greater than what i was getting at my last place. but its something and at least i wont have to be calling the employer and hoping to get my cheque on the day i should get it or even worse getting it a motnh after it is due.. I really would rather not work than deal with that again. The gleaner is well established and fits in with my long term plans i just gotta make sure i become permanent staff there.
This weekend feels like a school weekend for me cause i gotta be refreshing my self on a few php stuff. like expressions. and i gotta be learning curl which deals with e-commerce and image manipulation with php. so i got some work ccut out for me.. this job sorta makes me feel like i'm back in college again but getting paid to learn. i love it. :)

Greatest Story Ever Told

2005-12-02T11:20:00.000-05:00

The story only gets better with each addition. The guys really really have talent here's an excerpt click the link to find out the rest

"You pathetic ingrate, dont flatter yourself, i say that to all my students who reach this far" said jensen, "resolve, true power, HAH!!! dont me make laugh!!!!", within an instant his scythe was to my side, i didnt even see him begin to move, it was at that moment i realized that i was going to die, jensen let loose his scythe and it carved its purpose deep within my flesh, bearly missing my kidneys, i staggered and fumbled grasping hellscream, blood gushing from my body, my vision getting dim, my body turning cold "is this it" i said, "is this how i die, at the hands of this old fool....maybe i should just die, what do i have to live for", then, just then, that person flashed in the depths of my mind,"yes.......now i remember", i grasped my hellscream once again, gripped it and felt it as one with me, a seering heat began to engulf my very being as if my soul was on fire, my vision was becoming shrouded in darkness, my blood rushing thru my veins, my heart beating as if it were about to burst out of my chest, the wound in my torso felt non-existent, the very fibres of my muslces began tremble with overwhelming energy, i spoke "JENSEN!!!!!!" my voice was changeing, deepening, more and more my vision dimmed, my head throbbing, runes began to appear in hellscream, nothing like i have ever seen, an ancient tongue surged forth from my mouth as if i had been possessed,"Jensen" i said,"May God have mercy on your soul"..... My master noticed the change in my voice and my arms. For a moment I thought I saw concern bordering on fear in his eyes. It must have been my imagination because his movements became especially difficult to track. I was only too familiar with this tactic- it is the basic motion of hyperspeed.
I moved into hyperspeed as well. I could almost see him now. Clang! I narrowly managed to block that one- I thought has I moved into a defensive stance.
Something kept nagging in my head as HellScream became lighter and lighter- I must win and he must die.
"Shifting to offense are you? Impudent fool!" Jensen shouted. I didn't even notice that I had began to start chasing him- slashing at him, willing for more blood- for his blood.
I decided that talk was over. I suddenly stopped running and began to chant the ancient runes that were now on HellScream- I had no idea what I was saying but something within me gave me voice to the language.
My master rose his scythe and suddenly immense power from the elements began to burst from the tip. It was his signature killing move but it required perfect stillness. As I observed him while doing that uncontrollable chant I realized that he was almost as bloody as I was. He didn't seem to have been blocking my attacks as well he thought.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 final

2005-11-30T15:07:00.000-05:00

Finally its out of beta stages and into the real world. I downloaded and installed and i'm liking the lil spruced up features, beaing able to move you tabs just click and drag it where you want it among the other tabs, i love that i've been looking for an extention like that for quite some time now. most of the themes that i had dont work but i'm sure in due tiem that'll come. I"m wondering if i shouldn't get the firefox dev kit and make myown themes etc... i mean its not like i'm not capable make em and put em up for dl on the AnimeSynergy or the AnimeSynergy freewallpapers and downloads. something to think about i guess. but to get to the ending note. firefox really rools. i.e wil forever drool. opera try's to be the man but nobody does it like firefox can. pretty cheesy i know but lol i think its cool :p

xbox 360 a flop and a failure

2005-11-25T20:24:00.000-05:00

on the note of being a flop. I'm not impressed by the demo's i've scene. they really dont look that different from xbox but this i'm aware should be expected. as the technology is know the developers have being toying with the xdk for awhile and probably still doesn't know its efficiency and defficits as well.

on the note of a failure its crashing all over america.

Shopping for a pda Or a Smart phone scenario

2005-11-17T01:16:00.000-05:00

So far I've owned 3 Smartphones Nokia ngage, Sony Erricson p800 and the palm Treo 600 the pest of the three definately was the uiq P800 the treo did wonderful as a pda but failed as a Phone, This is my take on the Whole Smart device issue. I'm thinking; Get a pda with bluetooth and the works [ this def includes Wi. Fi. and when on the road i'll route gprs to the pda via bluetooth on my t610 which i unlocked to both networks so i'll be able to pop my cable and wireless chip in [ affordable gprs ]. Then Get another phone for my digicel chip [ a nokia 1100 a.k.a the flash light ] Will do well for this. And thats it.
The draw back with this plan is I'll Still be using the Palm os which wasn't very fun [ treo experience ] I gotta admit i love symbian, Where palm has power symbian has popularity and growing power. The userbase for palm won't be as large as symbian, And from the looks of it cellphones are the device of the future sony got smart and jumped out of the pda market And pretty soon other companies might follow suit. So in the event that I totally move from the pda route I Think I"m gonna end up with an ngage as a temporary smart phone until i can afford a Sony Erricson P910i.

Stock market down turn

2005-11-15T02:24:00.000-05:00

You know its funny I know this asshole he's realy a jerk at his core but he taught me one thing about stocks he said whenever you see market activity going haywire everybody wants in etc.. its probably time you look elsewhere than the stock market because there's no way they can support that surpluss they're getting it happens allthe time. then everyone jumps right back out. about 2-3 months ago stocks were all over theplace in the daily paper, on tv, ncb held its ncap seminars at knutsford court hotel a few times [ the food was amazing trust me great catoring ] but now... :( for stocks, when was the last time i heard the words stock before today i'm not so sure.. but its been awhile. check this out

stock article from the gleaner

Mayberry gets smacked inthe face with some extremly hard times, funnything is this same company went public a few months ago inthe ipo crazyness that was happening around the same time as the ncap seminars no i remember posting on a forum that this was bound to happen but i was told noo mayberry stocks are sound and yadda yadda yadda first rule i'ld say of stock is nothing is sound and solid with the stock market the whole thing is a risk in anyway you look at it. Now look at things this is a qoute taken from the gleaner

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The company made a loss of $118.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared with a profit of $140.9 million for similar quarter last year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

things aren't that great now is it mayberry. well good luck with that all you stock people.. :) money market for my money now thats where i'll say tings are sound and safe. slow returns but guess what with smart stratagies like long term investments with tax after investment periods instead of during can make you a quite a bit of cash. Who knows maybe i shouldn't be bashing stocks as i plan to take my company to an ipo one day crazy dream huh, we'll see how crazy it is, see you at my ipo ;)

Softmod Your xbox for free

2005-11-13T03:46:00.000-05:00

Firstly, I bought a xbox to usb-female converter. I figured out that the action replay/datel max drive et al are just xbox formatted memory keys so a traditional PC formatted memory key should work with the converter. And it did! Be sure to use a blank memory key as the xbox will format it, once formatted you can use this hacked action replay program to transfer the 'crafty' savegame to your xbox. if you have a action replay or datel max drive... etc you still have to use the hacked program as the savegame won't transfer with the bundled software.
I used Splinter Cell, but you can use Agent under fire and Mechassault too.

Formatting the memory key

All you need to do is connect a blank PC memory key to the usb converter while the xbox is on. Access the memory management screen in the Xbox dashboard, select the memory card, an error message will pop up when the xbox tries to access it, something along the lines of "unrecognised card, it has been formatted". Great! now exit the menu and turn off your xbox. Connect the Xbox formatted Memory Key to your PC. DO NOT access it via explorer as Windows will try to reformat it. open the hacked Action replay program and it show up in it. All you need to do now is drag and drop the 'crafty' save game into the memory card window.

UPDATE: Not all memory keys are compatible, check here to see if yours will work. (Cheers Furbs) NB: This list isn't complete and is regulary updated. If your key isn't compatible, i reccomend you buy datel max drive which range from aorund £15, gameplay has them for 17.99 + delivery. Have a look on Ebay, I'm told you can get them cheaper there.

To aquire the crafty savegame...

download Softmod Installer Deluxe v2.0 (torrent). All 'crafty' save games are included and follow the FAQ included, or use this guide. FYI This is what i did:

- Transferred the 2 splinter cell crafty savegames to my memory key via the hacked action replay program
- copied the files from the memory key to the hard drive using the memory management section in the xbox dashboard
- loaded up splinter cell
- loaded the crafty savegame
- xbox resets with the Softmod menu
- backed up my current MS dashboard (option given Softmod menu, nothing diffucult)(This lets you reinstate the normal xbox dash so you can use xbox live)
- installed Softmod
- installed evoultion-X (which came with dvd2xbox and a dvd player preinstalled!)
- reset xbox
- w00ted! \o/
- Connected Xbox to PC via Cross over network cable
- Setup FTP (the xbox uses 192.168.0.2 un:xbox pswd:xbox by default you can change it via EvoX if you wish)
- w00ted! \o/
- transferred emulators, proggys etc... (e:/apps, e:/games)

The FAQ will explain how to do all the above in easy to understand language, it is impossible to fuck this up, anyone with basic PC knowledge can do it.

Where to aquire apps and emulators
Priotic mentions an FTP access where he aquired his save games, they also have loads useful apps and emulators,

Pirotic wrote: For any files you need, google 'xbins' - its an IRC channel which gives out an FTP address (and a username/passy) for all sorts of goodies and tools, nothing illegal mind so not to worry.

If you need any emulators, i can email them to you. You will need Xbox Media Centre to play divx, mp3 etc... a torrent for it should be availble on most torrent sites or xbins.org. It's a brilliant program it's able to stream movies to your xbox via your home network!

Bundled EvoX programs

dvd2xbox
This program come bundled with EvoX, it's lets you copy xbox games to your Harddrive, which can be tranferred to your PC for backup purposes. i've backed up all my games, and they work perfectly from the harddrive! \o/

Dongle Free DVD player
DVD video player for the xbox without need to buy the DVD pack, cool stuff! :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm definatly gonna do this but the question now is where am i gonna get splinter cell from and which one it is i'm not sure, Agent under fire or mechassault. Of course its gonna have to be the old ones as mircosoft has obviously made changes to correct the exploits. The hunt is on.

AnimeSynergy Re-Vamped

2005-11-13T03:01:00.000-05:00

As my homepage wasn't quite up to par I took the entire day and did a full revamp The banners arent rotating yet. but all i need is the banners to do that. Having them designed right now, hopefuly the designer doesnt fall asleep as he is one of the laziest guys I've ever seen in my life. Next project is the character biographies which I already have a crack team for I just need to hand them their assignments and the formats I want them in. Check out the new AnimeSynergy home page

AnimeSynergy's direction

2005-11-12T16:54:00.000-05:00

Seems I'm gonna have to take AnimeSynergy on an international level, I know i haven't got all the jamaican anime fans on it as yet but it seems quite a few of these kind of people either have no internet access or just plain and simple cannot be bothered with forums. I'm gonna have to do some international advertisments but first i'm gonna have to set a few things straight, The front page i have the design done up. However I need banners, and a log how difficult is this for me very, so difficult that i cant even attempt ohh how i hate gfx. Hopefully I can get Omega X a member of the forums and king sig maker to make me a few banners and a logo.

Xbox Modding Mission

2005-11-12T12:23:00.000-05:00

Its been a full week since i've re-acquired an xbox too bad i got rid of the first one i mean i had a softmod and an 80 gig hd now i got 10 gig again and no mod. I need to figure out how to softmod without using the game expliots from the original mechassault and 007 as nobody has that game. Need to mod my xbox only original games i got are bloodomen and kotor and I'm sick of both.

Annual Intcommex Expo

2005-11-11T20:51:00.000-05:00

The annual intcommex expo seems to have been an altime flop/failure when using the previous expo's as a measuring stick. Its sort of ironic that the year they made it completely public and 100% free it bombed and probably bombed horrible. Being broke I couldn't attend :( you know how it is.. its free and you still cant go. In any event i has a staff Reporter out there in the field to bring me back some pictures of the event and there they are.

virus leaves work early for the lamest expo ever and looks very depressed about it

pictures provided by prodmasters and are taken with Sony Ericson P800.

day 3 after interview

2005-11-11T20:40:00.000-05:00

Still no phone call. I"m really buggin about this thing. I need this job man. Gotta have it, I'm officially broke no money what so ever zero this cant work.. I mean I'm not use to this $hit. Really i'm right on the edge dangling at the moment. Hope I get this at the gleaner to pull my self back up.

Monday's Interview

2005-11-10T13:05:00.000-05:00

Went to the gleaner interview. Didn't go to bad. I'm actually sort of confident about the whole thing. However confidence doesn't mean anything. I got a little news manager application to create in php. Most of the framework i did at the interviewers office, but it got sorta late so I took it home and finished it up and emailed it.
The real drama now was getting home from the interview. I left the gleaner at 6:00 pm. asked directions how to get back to the towns parade [ center activity of downtown kingston ]. I got directions of how to walk which i wasn't gonna do, and where to get a cab. I headed to the direction of a cab, on making the left turn i was told to i saw a long street no lights at all on it nothing but darkness at 6:30pm in the night downtown kingston. Immediate uturn, i'ld have to be stupid to do that. So i turned back started making some phone calls, was contemplating getting a cab straight to portmore [ home ] which would run me about $1000 but I really didn't care at that point. I saw a cabby passing at that time i signalled him he stopped. I charterd him to take me to my bustop. On getting there i called my cousin who works down town to see if he had already left. he was still there. "which is strange as he left work from 5 and normally heads home immediatly". On exiting the cab i was greated by a sea of people. I've never seen so much people ever. No session/party or beach got this type of crowd. So after waiting downtown for about 1 hour i got annoyed tried to find a cab to charter couldn't find one. I eventually suggested that we leave this forsaken place and head to half way tree [ my neck of the woods, I'm really like a wolf cut off from his pack when down town i hadn't been there in years ]. We eventually made the move to halfway tree my cousins co-workers who were there also came with us. on arrival to halfway tree we were greeted with a similar crowd. yep it wasnt' as bad as down town was but it still was wayy more than the average. on getting there i called home trying to find out what was the problem, Seems on the return route for traffic to get to halfway tree and town there was an accident between a car and a truck, which was causing all this problems. I was starving so i headed directly to burger king and got me a bacon whopper with cheese a hershy pie and made sure i went large, devoured that and then headed back out to see what my cousin was up to. We ended up hanging out with this girl [ model ] and her mom in front of bk until about 9:30 before we got a bus. [ a jutc at that :| which i dont generally take home ever ]. the ntsc executive class bus crowed was way too much though so I really couldn't be bothered. We eneded up taking one of the extended jutc's [ what they call the train or bi-articulated bus ]. Traffic was a real bitch though. so the driver did someting jutc buses never normally do. he went of route. so we're on a shortcut and people start yelling things like "me ago tell pj [ i'll tellthe priminister your off route ] etc. This lady then shouts out from outside, driver stop the roads are horrible youd ont wanna go down there with this vehicle. Of course that made no sense at the time because its a bi-articulated buss on a narrow road how would it turn back. So we kept on path. on the first occurence of a ccrater in the road. everyone in the bus gasped. that looked like something from the moon the driver had to use some real skill putting the bus onthe side walk making sure he clears the entire front so the second half of the buss doesnt fall in. The craters [pot hole as we say here] just kept getting worse. the driver was skilled though so we cleared them all. I got home at 11:30 that night.. I hate downtown and If i get that job of the gleaner I have no clue how I'm gonna manage with transportation its horrible down there.

Tomorrow is the day.

2005-11-06T23:33:00.000-05:00

Interview is tomorrow at 1:30pm. Yep i'll be there about 1 hour early looking like i own the place. Too bad I Got rid of the treo as it really would go toward the look I'm gonna be pulling off tomorrow. Wish me luck people, I want that job. I need that money.

Going to bed before 4am

2005-11-05T01:26:00.000-05:00

Yep its the first in about a week. That I maybe going to bed before 4 am. I mean its not a certainty cuase i'm not there, I'm still behind this note book. and working on my website. The reason for the forced early bedtime is my internet conectivity problems. Yep my isp seems to be screwing around once again. I tell you thingslike this pick the perfect time to happen to me. The good thing about it all is it happened now when traffic on my site is low hopefully in the morning it'll be fine. Member ship for AnimeSynergy is doing pretty well for a site that opened up approximatly 2 weeks ago. Any way my fellow bloggers and blog readers good night, well morning. :)
