I also don't have to work tomorrow and I polished off half a blunt on the way in this morning. No pants peeing though, just lots of delicious foodstuffs.
I didn't piss myself while playing Dead Space last night :D ...but that seriously is the only way to play that game now, I shut off all the lights, got really close to my tv and turned the sound waaay up....it was so Awesome!! :)
Did you and the room mates take all the couch cushions and make a fort afterward?
not yet
I see a Dead Space tat in DT's future.
I can't finish the game. Once enemies start appearing after you leave menus is too much for me to handle.
Tonight may be a mini-TNL get-together if a few of us show up. Maybe some Burg. Maybe some Mezz. Definitely some Razor and Destin. I think Rich is going to be gay about it.
It's hot out and I've been outside working like a Mexican all day. Just pulled in to check the oil on the mower and decided I needed a refreshment. 2 bottles of Amber Bock never tasted so good.
A member I helped who had a shitty situation with either Toyota or Ford finance dropped off a $50 gift card to a local sports bar/grille.
I was just doing my job.
I just got rep for a 7 month old post. That's always awesome. Also, day off with tons of shit to do!
Just filed my taxes. Talk about procrastination.
It's a fantastic day out and whores are parading around in sundresses around my work.
It's also VERY windy.
Life is fun to watch.
It's Friday - I ain't got shit to do
My place in NYC is pretty much finalized. Exciting.
I'm already planning a party there. Expect at least 50 people.
"I didn't piss myself while playing Dead Space last night ...but that seriously is the only way to play that game now"
I would have never thought to try playing Ded Space while pissing myself.
You can always take a shower.
A golden shower?

Holy mother of god, were those grits awesome.
They made grits with some sort of cheese in them. Then arranged them in a triangle, and fried them.

I had sushi last night. Not sure if it was as good as Iron's magic grits, but it was good.
I had sushi, too! But it was called Diff's Mom's Stinky Tuna. I've had better.
I'm single again.
It won't be long before you're back in the arms of SSJN. You're like the Ross and Rachel of the board.
That's actually why I broke it off with my girl, I couldn't stand going behind her back with him anymore.
SO they're printing my op-ed piece in Wednesday's paper. First time I managed to make it into print. Eyyyy.
One of my old writing teachers at school used the piece for discussion in his Advanced Composition course. I basically called an entire group of students a bunch of stupid assholes from the comfort of my own home and they all agreed with me apparently.
if Timber and I still lived together, we could have been Joey and ChandlerQuote:

Rearranged my entire living room, built and put in a new TV Stand, hooked up new LCD TV, and still had time to bask in this "HD" thing a few hours. Not bad for a Sunday!
Just beat Dead Space, that was such an Awesome game!
Stop it. Don't make me have to go through that nightmare just to see the ending.
it was pretty good dude, you really should try to finish it
Chux is sending me his old router if Destin is motivated enough to get it. I hope he is because my router is shit.

I don't know what bullet you thought you dodged, but you can't get Pineapple pregnant, no matter what he says.
That's because SSJN is fixed.
The world can't handle anymore of this.
Easy lay up for the fat jokes!
Baby update!
Not due til Labor Day, though.
So you're naming it Jason Xavier, correct?
Op-ed's up. . I hope I get hate mail, that would be amazing.
*sigh*
My cousin does landscaping and was hit by a truck and pinned against a trailer last night (as a pedestrian). He was in the ER for quite a while to make sure, but it appears that he has no back or pelvic fractures or internal injuries. He is one lucky son of a bitch. I was really expecting a lot worse when my family called and said he'd been hit. Huge. Relief.
OHNO RAZOR
Nevermind I got it.

SCIENCE MOTHER FUCKER!
What you are looking at:
This is a very early prototype of a small electronic device. It fits between a wall outlet and ANY appliance. We have dubbed it the "Appliance Texter"
It allows you to monitor, get the status of and control any device plugged into it. It does all of this using basic text messages. No Apple crap. No monthly fees. No setting up routers, wifi, blue tooth, wireless internet.
Possible sceneros:
You are a hour out of town, on your way to your wonderful vacation with your wonderful wife. But she is now going nuts because she thinks she left the iron on. No problem. Text your house, find out if the iron is on, and then turn it off.
You love coffee. So much so, you dream of having a nice cup when you get home. Now you can text your home and the coffee pot will prepare you a cup as you leave work.
You have an old device that sometimes pulls dangerous house burning currents. You can set a default current and if your appliance goes beyond it, it will text you and turn the device off.
Your children are grounded. They are not allowed to play xbox. The device will text message you if they start to play on the xbox and you can then turn it off.
Support for multiple devices please. I want to be able to talk to my coffee maker AND my toaster oven.
we're going in that direction
baby steps
This sounds awesome. No joke.Quote:

How does that work without having a separate cellphone plan though?
You can put a go phone card in it.
Someone that is OCD will probably want to take out a separate plan. It uses a SIM card like any other cell phone device.
ideally, we want a hub with one card in it that talks to smaller units. "ideally" it would have the option to be connected to wi-fi, wireless internet, blah, whatever, and you can send it text in the same way you send text to email accounts.
But right now we are aiming at "the biggest dumbass" user group. You know, people that don't know how to set up a router?
We want something that you can buy for your mother for Christmas, set it up for her, and then never deal with it again.
or like if you have to leave town today, it is something you can get at walmart, with a go phone, and have set up in minutes.
Dude. Ironcheeks could get famous!
Start working on how to casually drop this into conversations. Like, "Oh yeah, I invented that!" It's been a long time coming, but you sir, are finally going to get laid!
When you get rich, Fee? Promise me you'll wear a scally cap and driving gloves when you drive your Hudson around with the top down! 8D
I don't know how much money I can make off of this. Yeah, it is an idea that will sale but the school may claim full rights to it.
Hell, I should probably keep my mouth shut about how it works and what it does/will do.
Whatever. I can delete this in a few days. I was just happy that the freaking thing worked and we got a good grade.
Go on Sharktank and get some angel funding.
btw, here is our website. Yeah, its kind of ugly. I'm going to appoligize for the documents. Four different southern engineers wrote those together. They do have problems.
http://www.ece.msstate.edu/courses/design/2010/texter/
Finch did the cartoon dog. Shidoshi did the logo and the faceplate renders. They are awesome guys and you should all mail them money and free bags of candy.
I just put in for a patent on this idea.
what? Being an idiot that doesn't understand what can and can't be patented?
I know what can be patented.
Then go ahead. Patent it.
That's pretty cool IP, nice work. You need a better name than "Appliance Texter."
PLEASE tell me the stuff on that website is what the guy in your group that didn't want to pay for a real designer did himself.
What, shidoshi's logo and Finch's pic? They got paid for their work. I thought it was pretty nice of them to help. Please don't come in here and shit on them because you like to be "that guy." =/Quote:

Anyway, chill. Pull your head out your ass long enough to realize that this was first and foremost for a grade. Scrooge McDuck is not sending me funding. The department only paid for $200 of the parts and the rest came out of my unemployed pocket.
Your header logo looks like it was resized badly. Othern'that, good work.
edit: and it WAS.

Holy shit calm the fuck down.
It's a rough website but who cares? Shit ain't exactly the iPad right now.
someone that isn't me keeps playing with the html code. >_>Quote:

I'm not saying you are for noticing. It does look ugly, but you know, group work, pick your battles, blah blah blah.
He likes to do the site, and I let him do it. Because that means I don't have to.
I'm not freaking out. You sound like a jerk. Shidoshi and Finch did me a big fav. And I've had to spend my own money on this, that could have been spent on other things.Quote:

You didn't have write a flaming condescending remark to get your point across.
I'll be the first to admit the site looks bad. But I'm not going to talk shit about the people that have put work into it.
I wasn't in any way hating on what doshi/finch did.
Just the guy I made up in my head based on your secretive posts about this whole project in the past who didn't want to pay a designer anything because he wanted to do the web design himself.
That's obviously not the case now that you've cleared that up... so, yes. Please carry on.
FirstBlood is really a condescending jerk in real life. :p
Remember when I joined you and chuck for Ramen and i was all like "you ordered THAT?" and then stared you both down, JUDGING YOUR LIFE'S WORTH.
Cool shit Iron26, good luck with it!
That's brutal.Quote:

got a free parking today! 45 bucks saved
Finished building my new HTPC last night. I only kept the chassis, everything else was upgraded. It is amazing how much faster it is compared to the old one and 7 seems to be smooth and fast (unlike Vista). Everything works perfectly the first time and even the OS installation was a piece of cake.
Blurays play perfectly without a hitch, along with every other media file I threw at it.
I think I will stick a SSD in there when the price comes down a bit to make it even faster. I am now ready for Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3.
New keyboard ordered, and my sous vide cooker should be here today.
Called in cuz I feel slightly under the weather, so day off trying to finish my second playthrough of Heavy Rain. Hells yeah.
Shook hands with Vince Vaughn at the Predator's game last night.
did you sniff your hand afterwords?
Finally got a decent look at the resulting injury, it's not as bad as I thought. Less cut off my fingertip, more like I scalped it.
did you sniff your hand afterwords?
Of course. Smells like Novocaine
I just received my acceptance letter to the Nuclear Med program in the fall. *Fist pump*
