Ignite

I bit the bullet on Friday and traded to an iPhone, after all the iTunes bullshit (i’m seriously over it!) the phone has been fantastic, no problems so far and it just WORKS.  The phone just working is a big thing coming from Windows Mobile where sometimes things just dont work for some stupid reason or another, so it’s really nice to just pick it up, press a button and BAM! the screeen is on straight away and everything responds as soon as you touch it, Windows Mobile device manufacturers have alot to learn from this.

I’m not to sure how many of you know this but most of my friends and people that are forced to be around me often, know i love Stand up comedy, theres something about it’s honesty that makes it enjoyable for me, the no holds barred approach.  Consequently, i love to watch Last Comic Standing and so far this year has been awesome.

The arcade machine stands at a huge 13 feet tall and has a 70 inchish screen. By the looks of it, its a custom built PC using emulation software to run an old copy of the game Rampage.

I’m not so much a fan of halloween as i am a fan of random holidays, thankfully no one has knocked on my door trick or treating yet, halloween is a weird holiday it’s fun, strange and unknown.

Did someone say free icons? One of the designers at glyFX was working on a dark halloweenish free set and it just happened to coincide with halloween, so he finished 5 icons up, and put them online for everyone to see and use.

First let me lay down the back story on my plantronics headsets for you. Back in June 2007 i purchased a plantronics audio 550 dsp headset, for half price ($75AUD), 2 months later the headphones died. After realising i couldn’t find the the receipt, i purchased another set at full price ($150AUD) and made sure to keep the receipt, 2 months later (last week), the left headphone cup stops working.

Came home tonight to a nasty sound, my biggest and newest hard drive has “The click” but its still giving me data (be it slowly), thank god! I was down at PLE this morning waiting for them to open so i could get a new one and now i patiently sit back and copy off the 120 or so Gigabytes of data that i didnt have room for on my other drives last night.

A couple of the guys at work cooked up a beauty mini-free-set and we FINALLY got it out today.

Some new things, for my new desk, at my new job.
