School Of Hard Knocks

a Floater day is just a nice way of saying 'playing hookie', at least that's what it feels like (Why didn't they have this shit when I was in high school?).  Good thing I took the day off because the brakes on the RSX need to be replaced. I'm thinking it's either the factory old rotors, or, the ABS somehow, I dunno, but you would think the mechanic would have seen this when I took it in, and advised me of this problem ahead of time. meh...  I was playing BF2 last night, omg, I don't mind when one or two of my team mates are unskilled, but man, when it's my entire team boat anchoring, it's kinda hard to win.  I've also started playing BattleField 2142, here's the trailer     Read the review here

Another day, another dollar. :) My BF2 stats: http://bf2s.com/player/10576834/ My Xfire stats: http://www.xfire.com/profile/fidelite

Nice going EA.. I needed to clean my registry anyways, so I ended up re-istalling... Windows. This is how I got mine going, I had to go through all of these steps, maybe one of the less evasive ones will work for you, or just skip to the more evasive. What was happening to me was that I was getting kicked back to the desktop after loading (or half loading) the map, I would also crash on re-optomizing the video (at 60-62%). From reading a bit on the EA forums, I've come to the following conclusions... Non evasive: (These didn't work for me, but may for you) 1) Try just changing the audio to software decoding only 2) Force the game to re-optomize the pixel shaders etc by changing the screen res 3) Rename the "Battlefield 2" directory in your My Documents, this will wipe your custom settings. 4) Refresh your video card driver and DirectX --- --- Evasive: (This did) 5) Uninstall BF2 6) Install BF2 original 7) Install BF2 Special Forces (Also will patch) 8) Install BF2 1....

tgif Being gone for 12 hours a day is getting to be somewhat... excessive. I am going to develop some better time management skills. :p pats crazy neighbour keeps looking at me. wierdo... Pat is taking his sweeeeet ass time... there goes Tims, let's see if we can manage to be there on time at least..

ah shit! I think I forgot to lock my car, and I'm late for work, uhh, at least its really nice out. Hopefully the day gets better...ok its not better the fucking keys are in the car!!

week something This is the first post of the purposed daily postings, lol. I got my VCP. Work has been quite the learning curve. I'm really impressed with the work culture. I'm not really impressed with the 80 km drive in though. I carpool with Pat most times. We will have to move waaaay out west at some point soon. Hopefully I'll get around to adding more stuff to this but it still needs a host, so until then this blog will have to stay on my treo.

blog o lishoulous! This will be the start of my blogs.

First post on this new system.. I was going to set this up on my own server, but I guess this is just as well. Let the games, begin. I'll have to upload my blogs from my treo at some point.. Meh.
