I haven’t really had much to blog about lately due to lack of things to talk about, that and most of the people who read this blog have been doing a great job of finding me. Haven’t worked on much lately, been actually on a bit of a TF2 vacation and work has been consuming most of my time as of late.
Gonna call it an early night. I have work early in the morning.
Been so hell bent on finishing a project that I neglected to post for the last couple days. I’ve been having fun in Adobe Premiere CS5. Handles ALOT better than CS4. Has fewer bugs and it hasn’t crashed once so far, which is always good when working on a project. Also took some time to make chicken and rice noodle soup and a thai omelet with the pepper sauce I made the other day. omnomnomnomnom.
Tune in for a review of a L4D1 original custom campaign called Dead On Time! Where Tomala has a hard time even trying to make a single joke about it. It’s that perfect…
New mp3 player arrived today. It’s a Sony Walkman with 8 gigs. It didn’t seem to like the front USB port but runs on all the others just fine. Been stress testing it and making sure it works so I can leave good feedback. So far it does everything I want. 🙂 It even has a built in speaker! Finally a new way to annoy people during break time…
Edit
I inserted a smiley face into this post? I must be tired…
Been so wrapped up in writing scripts, work and TF2 that I’ve neglected this blog again… Oh well, I’ll try tomorrow.
I have no words for how painful this is to watch. It was difficult for me to not grit my teeth while watching this and feeling my brain cells reach for the closest noose so that they may hang themselves to get away from the pain and sorrow this video has caused. Burned into my retinas… I think I’m going to have nightmares.
Played a campaign tonight for L4D1 called illogic city. Needless to say there is a mountain of material for me to make a good review…
We watch another video from the past. past Tomala talks about Crash Bandicoot Course and a display of epic nostalgia and comedic adventure.
Today’s scientific experiment was of the Thai variety. I made some chicken and brown rice soup with cilantro and crispy garlic, and a spicy peppery tuna salad in wheat pita bread. Both turned out very flavorful and filling. Didn’t have any fish sauce though, had to rely on some tamari (aged soy sauce) and lime juice instead. I think when I get back I’ll make a pepper sauce for future dishes, then tear right into some video production.
As soon as I get a hold of a couple drives for my Steam RAID array I will be doing a dual installation of XP and 7. Windows 7 does a wonderful job handling tasks and gaming. However, XP still offers more options for sound. I’ve mentioned in earlier posts that windows 7 does a great job neutering my X-FI elite pro. The PAX drivers I installed recover most of that via emulation, but when it comes to soundcard hardware control XP is still superior.
When I use FRAPS to record something I can just press a button and it selects what u hear by default. Pressing the same button turns off recording and puts me back to the device I was using before. Under windows 7 however, you have to set what u hear manually before gaming. Otherwise you will only get either your own mic or game sound recorded. Before anyone tells me that I may have an extremely dated card, let me tell you that I have a SoundBlaster X-FI elite pro. If I wanted to I COULD get a soundcard designed for Windows7/Vista. But then even the newer cards have lower DACs (digital-to-analog converters) than the one I currently have (and a must for voice recording). Thank you Mr Bill…
Of course I have no issue running two operating systems on one computer. It wouldn’t be the first time.
