With the sun out today I decided to detach myself a bit from the digital universe. I went for a walk and decided to take some pictures in the park.
When we were kids we used to call this the Mr Happy tree. Because if you look at it just right he looks real happy.
And when I came home I saw Bobbi enjoying the sun too.
Filmed 3 Left 4 Dead 2 maps straight in windowed mode tonight without any visual failure. Nothing note worthy of putting up on YouTube but I think the problem was solved. Disabling VPU recover seems to have done the trick.
Lately I’ve been having crashing issues whenever I film. I tried updating FRAPS the other day but I still crashed. So I’ve made some tweaks to the system to see what happens.
The problem I’m having is that after awhile of filming the game window will lock up for a moment, followed by it maximizing to the point of the monitor going out of range which forces me to have to power it off or press the reset button. I’m thinking it may possibly related to the Logitech panel software. I did a reinstall of it plus I’ve done some tweaking to the video card. I’ve done a couple tests already (windowed still) and so far it seems to be holding up.
As an aside I may have to enable the FRAPS FPS overlay. My computer records video so seamlessly that I forget that I have it running.
I got GLaDOS (big surprise).
Imperious, highly intelligent, impossibly cruel-you wield your intelligence and wit like a cudgel, bludgeoning those around you into passive submission. Keep an eye out for cooperative test partners with low self esteem and body image issues.
Oddly enough my current co author also took the test and got this:
Funny, high-strung, a bit of a motor-mouth-these are the words people would use to describe you when they’re not telling you to shut up. Your ideal cooperative test partners include people who won’t mind you bumbling around breaking things while they do all the work.
Well, nothing eventful happened today. Didn’t get much sleep anyway due to the really loud wind storm this morning. I did manage to get a nice nap in after I came home and had a bite to eat.
Now to start Overlording for the next 2 days.
Happy Zombie Jesus Day!
Got off an hour early due to the store being extremely quiet and running out of things to do. just the usual cast of characters that either forgot something or think they live there. Plus I pointed out that I would be coming to work at 6am so they were nice about it.
So you won’t really be seeing me until tomorrow. I’ll have 2 days off so even if I don’t get proper rest I can just pass out after I get home.
But I’m all worn out right now and need to sleep…
So here’s a show about ninjas to entertain you while I recover from the pre-Easter festivities…

So, I celebrated my birthday today by working on a friday around stupid people… One of these people was that bum I wrote about awhile back that practically lives around the store. He needed help at the bottle return machines and when I tried to figure out what was wrong all he yelled was “It’s not coming out” I tried asking him what wasn’t coming out, like his receipt? But to no avail. He kept yelling the same line over and over again. Eventually I had one of the guys take care of it.
On a brighter note I did get a few birthday cards, I won a couple of lotto games and I came home to a lobster dinner and red velvet cupcakes, plus a white chocolate cupcake that the next door neighbor gave to me. It was alright.
