Hey! Remember that video project I said i was doing? Then I got distracted by game sales and Portal 2? Yeah… I worked on the project today. Nothing big, I just recorded small scenes so far. I still have a ways to go with it but I haven’t given up on it yet.

Had another short work day, managed to get everything done though. I was feeling pretty energetic until I made a sandwich, now my left eye burns. Instead of napping I think I’ll stay awake. Might sleep better tonight if I just go until pass out point.
Cold day today, so I’ve just been kicking back, doing some laundry. Took a nice lavender shower followed by some lavender white tea, seems almost theme related. it’s not.
Couldn’t sleep
I knew waking up at 2:30pm and going to bed at 9:00pm wouldn’t do me any favors… At best I only got 3 hours of sleep. I sense a nap later today. In the meantime I’m brewing some magnolia pureh for work. I’ve heard it’s great for energy.
Here comes the sun
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.
Problem solved.
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.
Ever the problem solver.
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.
The Portal 2 CoOp Survey
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.
Easter Open Thread
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.
