Gears of War (Mad World) Extended Video

Saturday, December 9th, 2006

I definitely love this video. It’s been a while since I saw a commercial and actually felt compelled to buy what’s being pushed. I’m looking forward to playing it.

I showed it to the guys at work the other day and we all agreed it was pretty cool. Diego actually went home to play it out on his piano and Ed recalled that the song was also used in the movie, Donnie Darko. Incidentally, this movie is damn good and you should go watch it right away.

For now, I’ll just settle for listening to the song and watching this extended video.

Happy Easter Weekend to all!

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

Ah, I’ve finally switched over to WordPress. I’ve been meaning to switch over to this for quite some time and now, here I am. I’ve read through many reviews and comparisons to help sway my decision into switching. I suggest reading Rachel’s 5 little things I like about WordPress 2.0 to wet your whistle.

Even though I’m excited about finally getting this up and running, thanks to my friend Mike, I’m a little peeved about the trouble I am having to import my Blogger posts/comments. WordPress does provide some help in importing content from various other blog systems but I found that importing from Blogger has become such a hassle. The resources/tuturials look outdated especially since I’ve updated the latest version.

I’ve gone to Import > Blogger and I get this error:

“Howdy! This importer allows you to import posts and comments from your Blogger account into your WordPress blog.
This feature requires iframe support.

Reset this importer”

I’d expected a form to input my username/password for the Blogger but there was nothing to click on but “Reset this importer”. Honestly, there’s nothing to reset! I’ve given enough time for now, in the meantime you can still visit the previous blog here minus the styling. I probably lost that at some point while I was following the suggested shenanigans of importing.

I would also appreciate any help on the matter and other than that, I’ll just keep my eyes out for a more helpful import tool.

I love the animals! And you’d better too, and nothing says I love the animals than saying NO to animal cruelty. Try visiting www.peta2.com , making activism fun.

Failure with Thunderbird

Monday, February 6th, 2006

When it rains, it pours. My Thunderbird isn’t co-operating with me now and that’s just my luck right now. Here I am trying to get every scrap of information I can out of my ever non-responsive POS computer and this happens. My profiles are missing, the restores I’m attempting are bugged and just when you think you got it all fixed… the folders are empty. I’m outraged, I’m tired and I’m still pissed at the Seahawks for throwing the game.

I feel like Data in that episode of Star Trek, “The Offspring”, where he tries and tries to help fix Lal but for every problem he solved, more came to take its place. They say it was a cascade failure, similar to these bouts of bad luck except that I won’t be so sad to see this pile of rubbish behind me.

And hey, if I’m even a bit lucky, I might just get my mail back sans a whole month worth of mail. Here’s hoping.
