A new toy through work

Image
Work has ordered new k-jams for my co-worker and i. Hopefully the will actually show up and not get lost, the order messed up, or denied by purchasing. We shall see. *crosses fingers* I've already started the search for registry hacks and software tweaks and downloaded the extended roms from all other variations of this phone so i can make my own custom build. :D

WoW UI Mods updated for 1.9

I've updated all my UI mods for the 1.9 patch. No new features just a .toc update. I have also added a download for my modified version of Wardrobe. After version 1.3 Wardrobe added many features I did not want and also required you to install function libraries. So this is my modified version that playes nice with the BG queue icon. So if you want a nice and simple equipment manager give it a try. :)

Guild Site and Forums

I took the time at lunch yesterday to thow togather a website for my WoW guild, Istari. I found some really cool asp.net forums called Snitz . If you are looking for something like phpbb but can only use asp you should check it out.

Hard drive is fine

Finally got to the toasted PC. The hard drive was perfectly fine even through all the fire and water. Most of the computer looks ok... except for the parallel and vga cables being melted together... :)

Recovering data from a burnt pc

Image
An electrical fire in a user's office. Not sure of the exact cause yet but after the inspectors come I get to see if I can recover any data from the pc. Could be interesting. There are still pools of water on the floor.

I HATE $ony!

I'm sure you've heard about a few of $ony's lastest atempts to keep you from using the stuff you buy from them. If not start here... I'm to irritated to even talk about it. I will never, eeever, buy anthing $ony agian. No music, no game, no hardware. Nothing.

WoW patch day

The 1.7 patch was released to day for World of Warcraft. As such I have updated all of my UI mods. Quest Text Fade has been marked as obsolete as it is now an option to disable the text fade in the default UI. I have also removed the same code from my Multi Mod. I will eventually remove the Quest Text Fade download all togather after I'm sure I like how the new option works. :) I will also be updating my UI Mod pack after I do some tweaking at home.

We're in KC this weekend for the Irish fest and the renfest. So far the Irish fest has been pretty uneventful. Not much to do really except listen to music and drink beer. Oh, and even the fountains are green... hehe

Pocketmail.com

I have a friend who is hiking from mexico to canada. (yeah, he's nuts) He has his old mobile phone which will work as GSM or TDMA so he has some kind of coverage almost everywhere. He is also keeping an online journal as he travels, usually involves stoping somewhere along the way, snail-mailing then to a family member to put up or through his mobile phone. I don't thing he even tried the phone. Doubt he has data service most places. I'm not sure how he stumbled upon this device but the idea is pretty cool and perfect for his situation. The pocket mail device is like a really simple handhelp pda. It has some basic pim stuff and email. The cool part is how it sends and recieves email. You type all your email when ever and respond and all that then send/recievce when ever you can. Through any phone. No, not dialup.. It works more like a fax machine. There is a speaker and a fold out mic on the back of the device that you place aginst the phone and it beeps whistles...

Almost there...

We should be boarding any minute now. The last leg on our flight home. If all goes as planned we will touch down around 11:30ish. Then home and sleep half the day tomorrow. :)

Last day recap

I never got time to post about what we did on our last day in Boston. After Ashlea got of work we headed down to the science center. It was really cool. There were tons of hands on experiments and exhibits. I got to build a car and see how fast it would race down a hill, play with lasers and mirrors, flash our shadows on to a wall, watch a lady play with electricity, play with optical illusions... The place was huge. We didn’t actually get through all of it before it closed. After that we went back down town for dinner and last minute shopping. Since they blew up London yesterday all security is on high alert. They would make announcements on the subway every few minutes telling you to watch out for strange people or unattended packages and report them immediately to an official. The airport was full of gaurds and police. Even the cleaning staff were walking around everywhere keeping an eye out. It may have been wores because we took off from the same terminal where the internationa...
