Huh. Happy times are now. Just found out that with a plugin that I got for youtube videos, I can actually rip any video from a site. As I speak, a video from ThatGuywithTheGlasses is (hopefully) downloading right to my computer so I can watch it directly instead of trying to find lower-quality videos on youtube. Was able to rip a video from The Escapist as well that my computer kept turning off on me during it. ------------------------------ On an unrelated note, I'm finally knuckling down and starting to get a site of my own up, one that I'll be working on with Ether and Welnis. Welnis is going to be doing overall layout design, while I'm going to code it all and get it hosted. The site is going to be a review site for hosting text-based and even some video reviews on various things - from anime, to books, to games, movies - even to places, people, and gadgets. Welnis has huge aspirations for the site, hoping that we'll one day be as big as IGN and such. I'm very doubtful we'll get that big (since IGN is run by a lot of people, while this is just us three) but it'll be nice if we at least get some internet fame similar to that of the Angry Video Game Nerd, The Nostalgia Critic, and even, maybe, Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation (Hosted on the Escapist) Well, only time will tell how it'll all work out after all. Oh, we've agreed on the name 'The Critic's Vault' I had the creative name of 'The Rabbit Hole'... but that was taken by a site for people (furs and non-furs alike) to find RP... 'partners' |

o.0 So... Welnis got back to me on how we're going to make our site look. Posted Image Oh, if you're wondering - From left to right: Astro Boy (new one), Logo for Killswitch Engage, Alucard of Hellsing, and the main character from Final Fantasy XIII Versus are what adorn the banner. |

In an RP I'm in, a pair of characters vanished through a weird dark portal. Since I've been playing KH a lot lately, I added as a random OOC comment to the poster 'Shit! They went through the Dark Corridor! Everyone! To the Castle that Never Was!' (KH2, KH 258/2 Days and/or KH: CoM reference) To which he said it's stereotypical for villains to use a dark portal of sorts. I say screw that - I'm gonna make a villain someday who will use a pink portal. If s/he can still maintain an air of badassitude, then I've got one awesome villain. |

So... now I can't wait for Friday. BADLY. Just got back from EB games - they're holding a number of things for me until then (Cause I get paid Friday! =D Bring in the Moneydollars!) The list is: -PSP Core System -4GB PSP Memory Stick -PSP-USB Connector (So I can mod the PSP) -Darkstalkers The Chaos Tower (I'm a sucker for Felicia >.>) -Final Fantasy: Dissida All-in-all, it'll set me back about $300 (SPARTA!) but the Dissidia there was cheaper by about $10 compared to Wal-Mart - and still new. Yeah. Can't wait until friday. |

Whelp, second day on the job, going much better than yesterday did. Allow me to recap - yesterday, I ende dup on one call for almost two and a half hours because some woman's hard drive went kaput on her. Since her computer was having warranty issues, I couldn't send her a replacement, at least not until the POP team confirms anything, and even then, someone else is gonna send her a hard drive. Haven't been able to manage any side sales yet. Most of the customers I get are cheap bastards that don't think they need an Extended Service Plan (when their computers break outside their warranty, it won't be our fault if they call in and are billed, nope nope nope) I had the same problem twice in a row today though - apparently, not only does HP not know how to make hard drives, but they also make AC Adapters that break and fail on us - so I had two adapters shipped off to two people. One of them was a girl that now won't be able to get her college paper in on time because her notebook's adapter went kaput :( I did though ALMOST sell someone a completely brand-spanking new ENVY 15 beats edition notebook - which has a retail value of over $2,500! He declined because the sales team won't let him send in his old notebook as a trade-in to pay a bit of it off. Soooooooo damn close. I was sad when I saw that the offer was 'Closed-No Sale' That woulda made my revgen for the month ._. |

You know what feels good? Knowing that you're the only tech-savvy person in the house. My sister wanted me to hook up a computer in her room (it's a VERY old model, but she doesn't need a computer for much) so, with ease, I was able to get the monitor in place, plug in the mouse and keyboard (with PS/2 ports no less) and then set up her account and whatnot. Then she asked if I could install the Sims - Only one problem. The computer didn't register a CD drive. I ended up pulling the whole thing open, plugging the drive in (the connection had fallen out in all the moving about) and she's currently installing it now. Feels nice to help the sister that doesn't want you to go mad with anger =P |

True enough - but i like flaunting just how much I know about computers =p Heck, I just helped her get her sound working and her wireless internet. Her computer's a biiiiit of a dinosaur though. As a good sign of brotherly love though, while she was taking a nap, I cranked her speakers to max, told the computer to load 'youfail.org' and then BOLTED |

Had another lovely little call just not - thankfully, I wasn't dealing with an idiot. This guy had a real problem - he wanted to upgrade to Windows 7, but his disc drive wasn't picking up in My Computer. I learned just how much of a godsend HP Instant Care is - namely, a remote desktop connection that allows one to control another person's computer. First thing we did was check the DVD drive in teh Device Manager - Code 39. Personally, I had no idea what the hell that meant, so after trying to install an update and failing, we closed the session, checked the BIOS - only to find the drive was there and alive. One of my supervisors looked over my notes, and gave me some quick advice. So, anotehr IC session was launched, as this was an even MORE perfect opportunity to use it - Because we had to do a registry edit. All that needed to be done was a quick clean-up in the registry, but still, it was better that I went and did it, as I knew exactly what registry spot to delete, rather than try and convey 47 different letters and numbers to the customer. Deleted a quick registry thing, and then restarted the computer - drive was detected, exclamation point and Code 39 are now GONE. However, this next part is why I'm sharing this - I had to fight to keep from laughing out loud. He said it still wasn't registering his Discs - whether it be music, DVD, or the HP upgrade disc. I looked in my logic flow, and it was staring me in the face, and I'm thinking 'There's no way this guy can be that stupid... but I have to ask this anyways.' <_<: Alright <censored>, can you tell me which way you're putting the disc in? :o: I'm putting it in with the label facing the back of the computer <_<: Ok, can I get you to put the disc in the other way? With the label facing you? :o: ... Oh hey! It's working! <_<: -hits mute on phone and headdesks, then unmutes- Well, I'm glad to hear that... -conversation then moves on to setting up a callback to confirm drive functionality- Well, least it was someone with a REAL problem this time :lol: |

Know what's worse then being the only tech-savvy person in the house? Someone who thinks they're tech savvy. My dad broke my sister's internet thinking he'd help her by installing USB 2.0 ports. Installing those ports probably took 10-15 minutes. I'm willing to bet he spent maybe another 10-15 trying to get the internet back up. I went in and fixed it in about three minutes. -blows across knuckles- Edit: He spent over one hour trying to fix it |

And all of thios could have been avoided if he looked at your sister's system's specs to find that it likely couldn't handle them. You DID mention that it was a dinosaur |

True enough, but it IS handling the ports fine now, as the internet's moving faster for her now. Regardless, it's fixed now - though I think I should mention that if any more work is to be done on her computer, perhaps I should do it. |
