I’m late! Or not?

Am I late?, Technicalities, Hitman 2, Vervante problem, I can read, and MTV Movie awards.

Ahh, I’m late!

Actually, I dont know if I am, I post like 12:01am and dont know if it should be the current day of previous or what. I dont think it matters really. It was my rule to do every other day so I can break it. Besides, I already pointed out that whole “other” v. “oter” thing.

Anyway, another game review for you. Hitman 2, it sucks. The controls are horrible, its quite difficult to figure out just what your doing, and I just didnt like it. Mostly the control difficulties though.

Next, what happened to the Vervante store? You go to their website and click the apple store, all the developer books are gone, and it lists the books as not found. Pissing me off. Worst part is you cant get the books elsewhere, just through their site. I am sure Apple will be as happy about this as I am.

Speaking of whom, I am reading a biography if you will of just that company. I have owned the book for some time but just today (or yesterday technically) decided to read it. I have several books that I bought and didn’t read, and I hope to get through some over the summer. But anyway, the book is ok, not great or anything though. The first chapter is by no means chronological. It drifts from the early 70’s to the mid 90’s and back again with little care, despite (I can’t believe that’s the correct spelling, almost sure it was dispite) being called “in the beginning”. Maybe its just an introduction thing, I hope so, and will keep you updated.

Ok, thats all for now. I just wanted to sound off quick. Ohh, also, if you didn’t see Gollum’s acceptance speech at the MTV Movie Awards, find the next showing and watch it, in the words of the froddo dude, uhm, anyway, he said “that’s f*cking awesome”. Well, not his words, watch it, you’ll understand.

Go away now!

Bad Apple, BAD

Mad at Apple, New isync, Cellphones, Powerbook prices, Promotions, and RAM prices.
Blogger Post #4

Ok, I am bored and not ready to sleep yet so here is your update.

I am ROYALY ticked at Apple right now (when am I not right? I hate them almost as much as I love them). They released isync 1.1 today which added syncing support for several more cellphones, which is really cool. However, they DIDN’T provide support for phones people actually own. isync is still dominated by GSM phones, which are the vast minority in the US. And the CDMA and TDMA phones they are supporting are the $249 optional phones that nobody buys. Yo Apple, get a clue and support the Motorola v120, you know the one that Verizon and Alltel give away for free and that most people have (and is also the one I am getting, why else would I care?).

Second, they dropped the price of 12″ and 15″ powerbooks AND started a promotion where you can get a $200 rebate when you buy any mac with an ipod. That means rather than spending $1549 on my ibook, I could have waited and got a 12″ AlBook with a faster processor and G4, more RAM, a bigger HD, and Airport Extreme plus a 10 gig ipod for $1649. I could have waited 6 months for a deal like that. But I digress. Part of buying a computer is accepting that it wont be the latest and greatest forever, or even for much more that a few weeks. That my ibook wasn’t leapfrogged until mid-last month is actually amazing. Besides, I need to focus my hatred at RAM chip makers for charging so much. How can a 512mb so-dimm cost $99 when a 512DDR is only $75 anyway!?!

What else? I don’t know. I didn’t say I wasn’t tired, just not tired enough to sleep. Ok, I am going to bed know, 3 hours earlier than normal, because I am tired and I am supposed to work tomorrow.

Later,
nick

National Otter Day

Late?, Spelling technicality, Otter day, Game review, Stupid sayings, and Blogging schedule.
Blogger Post #3

So your sitting there saying “Nick, you said you would post every other day, what gives?” So I says “read more closely, I said ‘every oter day'”. So I have been sitting around trying to figure out when the heck “oter day” is, but got tired of looking, so here I am.

So anyway, why isn’t there a holiday called otter day. I mean come on, something that cute deserves its own holiday. Besides, it could be real fun. We can put it at the third tuesday of every 13th month. That way, every few years there won’t be a single otter day that year. It could be a real hoot (or if you prefer, whatever sound otters make. not sure what that is exactly though.)

I rented “Medal of Honor : Frontline” for PS2. Its pretty good game if your into 1st person shooter type WWII games. I’m on the third mission though and it’s ticking me off. You can only save at the end of missions, but the missions are getting really hard so when you die you have to go WAY back, and it’s annoying.

What else? Hmm. Ohh, why do people say “Where do you get off?” Do you really want to know? If you REALLY want to know, I guess I could tell you. I doubt that you do though. Just another stupid saying that got turned sick by our youthful slang I suppose.

Ok, but I really do want to post every other day, so I will try. Every third anyway. Ok, I’m shutting up now.

First Real Post

First real post, Mom back from Cancun, HP PSC1210, and Post schedule.
Blogger Post #2

Ok, so my first real post. Should I post something meaningful, intelegent, or that even makes sense? Hell no, you should know better than that!

But anyway, my mom is back from Cancun, she didn’t enjoy it much. Either she just got a bad room or Cancun isn’t all its made out to be.

Also, I am LOVING my new HP. The OCR actually works and it is making it much easier to just scan in old reports and the like rather than re-typing them all. It does have some flaws, but still much simpler.

I hope to post at least every oter day from here on. If not for you all (whoever you are) to know whats going on in my life, then for so I can look back at previous posts later.

Till then,
Nick
