Purchased and began downloading the 17Gb that is WildStar.

Last night I started building a phantom board!

Hope it goes well for you.

As the title says...
Apart from your daily routine (showering, eating, working, whatever) what have you done?


I start:

After long time I decided to buy some music CDs again, but after listening through em I remembered why I stopped buying CDs back then. Half of the content was clipped and the majority of the other half had some other defects like pops, clicks or stream corruptions, there was even some weird short high frequency pulse in continuous pattern in one track which under closer inspection (checking the waveform) looked like some sort of audio watermarking. Well, long story short... As I really like the music and don't wanna see my money wasted, I spend today and yesterday manually fixing the waveforms  )

So, what did you do today?

LOL wow, I actually found that pretty interesting hahaha. but hrmm, I Worked. slept and now i'm browsing forums @_@:

After work Monday, I had the pleasure of getting to a golf course. Unfortunately before our group had a chance to tee off at the first tee, the bottom fell out. Greens were soaked, course conditions super wet so the club closed down the course. This was upsetting at the time but since this is Florida, we drove 10 miles north to another course which was COMPLETELY DRY and got full round in. The best part is the second club we tried gave our group the 'junior walking rate for 9 holes' which was a whopping $6.95.

Ultimately we all ended up with a rain check to play again on the first course and then to be able to play a full round for 7 bucks!! Glorious

Today I got myself setup to start working on my Sprit 60% board.  Got my panavise head setup and made sure everything is going to work.

Pretty happy with this setup, it looks like it is going to work great.  Thanks Melvang for the rail... 

And of course, some pictures...

Busted.

Tried everything and nothing makes sense. The driver vents blow normal air and the passenger side blower slightly cold air.

Just got it out of the shop and they thought it had been fixed.

Get home and A/C isn't working.

Glad you like it.  I do have to apologize for the square stock not being perfectly square to the round stock.  I did the machine work by hand using a 4" grinder in my garage along with drilling the hole for the stud by hand as well.  If you want to change out the square stock just drill a 1/4" hole for mounting and DO NOT remove the stud.  I glued it in with permanent strength lock tite.  Just take the nut off.

Once the nut is tightened down, no one is the wiser. It functions perfectly, that's all I care about. . Thx again.

[bexleycorona]

Replaced the spark plugs on my car... at 117k miles. They were supposed to be done at 115k but I'm a rebel.

[swill]

Visited a potential house for the second time.  My measuring tape got a workout.  Haha... 

Now I have a scale drawing of the main floor anyway.



Edit: Well, not quite.  This is what it would be after I do the reno.  This place needs a lot of work before it would look like that...

[SpAmRaY]

Yeah went house shopping again today, looking for something we can just move into as is.

[rowdy]

I managed to clear out my in tray (at home)!

Only since like the middle of last year.

Didn't manage to continue with the filing that I started last week though.

[iri]

went to the seaside.

[noisyturtle]

Beat Saints Row The Third

[bexleycorona]

Sat around watching TV.

It's so easy to binge watch. Currently watching House MD.

[rowdy]

I wonder why it is called the sea side.

Why not the sea edge?

Or the sea boundary?

she sells sex at the sea shore

Must be a different sea boundary than the one I go to.

It is actually pretty nice.  I remember commenting on it last night...maybe I fell asleep before hitting post on my phone. )

Anyway, what did you shoot it with and how?  I've always had trouble with sunset silhouettes.

Edit: yup, I found my unposted comment on my phone ) (yeah I GeekHack to sleep)

How about that for a change

[Melvang]

Very nice pic.  And my wife is a photographer so I see my fair share.

I am currently trying to do a 4 strand ring bolt hitch and keep both sides the same length.

bought a new loserbox 360 that 1. doesn't sound like six wind turbines 2. less chance of overheat 3. deals with dust way better 4. is less prone to ****ing dying and is slightly better

the xbone isn't released until winter here in norway
but halo 5 isn't released until late next year so my 360 will do just fine

Watched a lady hold up the post office line for 15 mins because she didnt know the difference between a 4 and a 9. I really need to start "clickN and ShippN"

[CPTBadAss]

I once had someone ask me if seven was spelled with an "E" or a "U". He held up my checkout line, trying to fill out a check, for a literal 20 minutes as he debated this in his head.

'sevun'?  When would that ever look right to someone?   


Today I got the electricity hooked up at my new place!    Also realized (confirmed?) how behind the times government-run utilities (water service) are...

Ugh its the worst. He gave her all new forms and she filled them all out right there belittling him the entire time. Why you would scream at the guy whos job it is to sort and make sure your important papers get to where they need to go is beyond me.

[davkol]

Played Fieldrunners 2 for 14 hours in a row, instead of sleeping. It's an interesting experience, kinda like on drugs.

[paicrai]

i want to skip school and play videogames for two days non-stop

[davkol]

Nah, you don't wanna do that. It messes with your sleep schedule, the brain doesn't really work then, say hello to RSI (TLO anyone?) and you name it.

[paicrai]

how about staying awake for unusually long or strange times

2 year overnights worker here, im a zombie during the day. I cant remember much and often forget driving to places. Humans were not meant to be nocturnal

diablo
starcraft
command and conquer
diablo 2

My personal longest run was 36 hours.  Wasn't working at the time and was trying to keepy mind off my grandfather passing.  When I was in the Navy I could function on 8 hours of sleep every other day.

[HoffmanMyster]

You wanna talk about playing video games for ridiculously long sessions, try playing this game with YoungMichael88 and Halverson for a solid 10 hours straight (pulled an all-nighter for it, stayed up about 36-40 hours).  It might not be as long as you guys are talking about but I guarantee it's just as stupid.  The entire mini game takes about a minute to complete once.

What exactly is the point of playing this mini-game for so long? I'm confused.

No, no, we were up for 36 hours.  Played that one mini game for 10 hours.

I have no good answer to this question.   :-X   We kept playing attempting to all get perfect scores on the hardest setting, and we just didn't give up.  Well, until we did give up after 10 hours.  :(
