we are, but not always by choice!

more aerodynamic that way?

certainly hope so, otherwise im not sure what happened to my sunday afternoon.

i really need to play with gmod some more.

sorry to hear. ive seen quite a few posts on other forums, same unfortunate circumstances. if you dont mind my asking, what industry was he in?

indeed, i do. latest umodified set is here. all converted from RAW format to JPEG. taken with a Cannon Powershot A560 hacked with CHDK.

i cant draw worth a crap.

think im going to have to start reading vgcats. :) not excatly a web strip, but a weekly video. Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation game reviews can be pretty funny. new ones out every wed. guy just loves to tear games and game developers apart. he actually gave Orange Box a good review. ** Warning! Lots of ...

Could it be a messed up gfx card? When mine was messed up everytime I plugged in my speakers or headset (after changing between the two) it would freeze my computer if it wasn't off or on standby. that sounds like a interrupt or possibly a power problem. im not going to say its not something like t...

my favorite MP is probably Wolfenstein:Enemy-Territory + ETPro. used to run a server for it up until 2007. good times had by all, except the ones i firewalled off and/or banned of course!

that dynex one looks good.

im not a fan of wireless mice/keyboards for gaming.

i had to dismantle and clean my sisters laptop innards and keyboard after a similar drunken incident!

wine + computer parts = sticky, smelly mess

been using a logitech media elite keyboard for about two years now. i like it. my pc doubles as my stereo so i wanted the additional media controls. the nice added bonus was that many of the extra keys were auto-recognized by my desktop ubuntu install by ALSA. :) i have noticed that you do have to t...

i visit the xkcd site a couple of times weekly. yes, im a geek.

"RTFM" http://xkcd.com/293/
"Faust 2.0" http://xkcd.com/501/
"Substitute" http://xkcd.com/135/

todays was pretty good actually.

"Windows7" http://xkcd.com/528/

and possibly the favorite.

ive got a whole directory on my web server dedicated stupid/funny pics. my life is sad.

I'm thinking of changing it though. Hmm, but to what? someone mentioned Chernobyl in a previous post. made me think of the (in)famous Pripyat Ferris Wheel inside the exclusion zone as soon as i saw your pic (i like it btw). heres another wall you can use. :-) pripyat_stalker_ferris_wheel_1.jpg [ori...

well, its very possible that its the sound card drivers. ive poked around for updated drivers (SoundMax ADI1988), found a minor update. not sure how much its helped. the only way ill be able to tell if its the mic is to try a different one really. clip on is a good idea. probably not super expensive...

the top one from "opacity" is Coal Brook Breaker Power Station [wall].

i _think_ the other one is from a monastery somewhere in Europe. i dont recall. i probably got it from deviantart.com.

edit: found it! its actually a fortress in Poland called Fort 52 Borek.

many of you have heard the high-pitched/infested-with-angry-insects noise i get on my mic. i did a bit of messing around with the sound recorder and various settings (there really are not many) in winblows to see if i could get rid of it. no dice. i need to look at something that wont induce headach...

i run dual head (22' wide + 19') for pretty much everything but gaming. my box dual boots, so heres both desktops...

great work there!

i cant get much better than stick figures, therefore i stick with my camera.

im usually the guy behind the camera, so i dont really have much in the way of pics of myself. heres a self-portrait from an abandoned CNR locomotive repair facility i did back in oct. this shot was completely blown out, i had to mess around with the color and lighting curves quite a bit to get it t...
