Sigh...

So stressed these days.
At least I can take some comfort in knowing that my copy of 9Tail Fox has arrived...

Another day, another worry...

Posted by Keilaron on Friday, January 20. 2006 in Dram-uh, DreamCast, Personal

Shibby shibby.
(What does that mean, anyway?)

Last night, a friend of mine and I were playing Unreal Tournament 2004 again. It had been a while since we had... and boy did I miss it. Just being in the game, waiting for him to connect, and looking at the intricate detail and amazing rendering... I miss it all. He remarked, later on when he had to go, that we had to do this more often.
Yes, we do.
Come play Invasion with us sometime, will you not?

That's the "highest" point on this post, though...
I was modding my DreamCast a day or so ago: I had ordered a transparent blue case for my DreamCast (looks pretty much like the original, but transparent blue) a week or so ago; When I got it, I disassembled the DC, and reassembled it within it's new case. At the same time, I took the opportuniy to do another mod for it: I unsoldered the power L.E.D. (orange) and replaced it with another one - a dual-color one (well, I soldered it in place to green, though it could've been red, but I don't like red).
I shouldn't have.
Seems I've fried the controller board - specifically whatever handles the controllers. Everything else in the DreamCast works just fine. The L.E.D. lights, the fan goes on. CD spins up, and the DC asks me for the date and time.
But I can't give it, because the controller has no power, no communication... I can't tell if this is due to permanent damage (honestly, I did a really bad job), or just from a "link" (short circuit) that shouldn't be there. Hopefully the latter, as I don't want to have to buy another DC just to fix this one... or something.

And Firefox is beginning to bother me. While I'm glad I can finally use the BlackJapan theme (BlackJapan theme for Thunderbird), it really irks me that it once again has decided to forget my address bar URLs. God damnit, STOP DOING THAT FIREFOX!
Another thing I've noticed is that it's got a severe memory leak, probably due to one of the extensions I have. As I write this, firefox.exe takes a whopping 129,104K of memory on it's own. My computer can handle it, but it doesn't stop me from being annoyed.

As much as I am willing to try relationships, I don't think I can handle them. Not with the way I currently am, anyhow.
She wants me to call every day. I can't even manage that... aren't I just pathetic?
I don't like subtleties either. I don't think we'll get along well, though she seems to think differently. Her language mannerisms (assuming that's the correct term for it) are annoying me, too. I've only once before thought that repeating things like that could bother me (Arkos, I'm looking at you.). I mean, I've read thing and spoken to people who would repeat certain expressions, and it has never bothered me so much before. Why, oh why, does it bother me to hear "I don't worry", now?! I wonder if it's because of the lying way she uses it.
*sigh*

My todo list isn't shrinking.

A little something I forgot...

Posted by Keilaron on Monday, January 2. 2006 in int(ernet) OMG;

Much ado about nothing.
Look at the amount of comments given over... a post about an icon?
It's a little more than that, I admit, but it boils down to just a post about an icon. There are even a few (uninformed) people trying to say that it's a copy-off.

As long as I'm in this shell#, I can't break; out, I can't feel any joy...

I'll mention first that the reason I wasn't replying to comments and wasn't checking my server e-mails was because I was forgetting to change my password (which is forced after it expires), and Thunderbird stops checking a certain e-mail account after a few failures. ...which means I forgot to do this for about a month. ;>_>

As for why I haven't been around, other than my job, there was the family reunion which occurred from approximately the 25th to the 30th. There's not much to say about it, because... well, it just proves how asocial I am. Any of those who were in doubt, you have your proof. I. Did. Nothing. And despite that, I forgot to take pictures of it anyway.

Speaking of my job, a few things I forgot to mention: It's casual dress, so I don't have to worry about getting dressed all fancy when going off somewhere in the middle of the night to type away at a keyboard. That, and the added bonus of being able to listen to music makes it that much more bearable... or humane.
It's just unfortunate that half my music is no good there, since soft music would put me to sleep amazingly well.
Quite unfortunate, since the Tilopa CD I bought (Kyotaku Live) is wonderful. No, I haven't received it yet - I only ordered it yesterday or before-yesterday - but you can download free copies of it (slighlty lower quality, naturally, but you still can). Also, since I bought a copy of the CD, I can give three copies of the full-quality music to others.
I unfortunately considered today as a statutory holiday. It isn't for me: It only applies if you don't work on Sunday, and it doesn't seem to apply with colleges.

As for college, I've been stuck with two courses again. I'm fairly certain I'm supposed to get more than that.
*sigh*

I've got everything, and I'm still not happy.

Xial, I need to talk to you.
