Okay, I'm running the test now, but I will need a firewall of some sort for tip.it crew (I've already been denied, and it was because I didn't pass the security check. I need a firewall to pass :P).

Heya :). I've been alerted to some potential gaps in my security for my computer, andwould like to rectify these problems. I have uninstalled all torrent downloaders or streamers, which were Vuze and Frostwire. I have also installed Nod 32, from what I've heard it is quite a powerful antivirus system. That's two down as far as I know. But from what I've been told, I don't have a proper firewall. I have windows firewall running and fully updated (so latest versions and all) but my hijackthis report came back as a big fat no. So,I've posted a HiJackThis! report below. If you see any other problems or know how to fix this apparent "lack of a firewall" than please let me know :).

9/10 see you around a lot :P Not expecting many people to know me here cause I never post on forum games :P.

App declined :(. My security isn't tight enough. Well, I guess I'll just have to keep honing my Photoshop skills and look for some jobs that I can do in the mapping area of things and see if I get picked then :P. And this time with an antivirus firewall and no torrent downloaders :wall:. Okay, tomorrow's challenge; Can I get 9,404 Mining experience (and get level 77) efore my waterskin (4) runs out and I begin to succumb to the heat of the desert? We'll see I guess. Seems I finally reached the stage where one inventory of waterskins just isn't enough :lol:.

If you want to I can get some ideas going :). Just that because I'm back at school and I have to do HSC maths in year 11 instead of year 12, I'm kinda busy studying and other stuff. But once I get some spare time in my schedule I'll send you some rough ideas :).

#-o ^ And grats on 96. If you take a break it stops you from burning out, and besides there's no rush really :P.

You bought 99 Herblore? :ohnoes: :lol: I worded that wrong. I should've said that a person with 99 Herblore came in the quarry as I took the picture. If only I had the money :P.

[hide=76 Mining][/hide] Just as I got the level 99 Herbie came in :P. Okay, so I'll try and get 77 next week, so once I can get to LRC I can take it easy while doing hw :P.

Instead of a logical response I'll just say, sorry :(. My friend just got out of a relationship that he was pretty much set on, but the other girl fell for someone else and he was dumped like a piece of [cabbage]. That feels really bad, considering that he really did like her (a lot, and I mean a lot...) so you're not alone. The best thing to do is just move on, because you'll always have people out there that want to hurt you; just keep going and ignore them. There is always someone else out there, and hopefully she will have the same feelings for you as you have for her :).

Not sure if I'm allowed to say this or not, but... ... My app was (kinda) accepted for tip.it crew :D. I barely know anything at the moment, and just to explain the kinda; I gotta pass a security test before I can get everything else done. So, I'll probably leave it at that for now, and keep you guys posted :). Also, I'll be getting 76 mining either today or tomorrow, just depends how long my maths homework takes lol. I won't be getting as much work on friday, because I won't have any test corrections to do :P.

very nice =D> keep it up!

Then it will all be worth it. Good for you. =D> Don't worry, RuneScape will still be here when you get back. Very true :). I'll still play runescape, but not as much as I usually did one or two years ago :P. Social studies is easy :lol:. I got A's in it last year because I did really good at history. English was meh. Geography is boring but I managed :P. Want hard.. Mhmm.. Try these on ;) Unit 3&4 Physics Unit 3&4 Chemistry Unit 3&4 Biology Specialist Maths Unit 3&4 History. Revolutios, French and Chinese. Literature Psychology. Technically for Year 12 (last year) i was only supposed to be 5 out of those 7. But i chose not to and worked a bit :P That way if i sucked on two, they get wiped and only the 5 best count :D O.O Wow, now I feel like I've got nothing :XD:. Which is kinda good actually, but still less runescape time :(. Ah well, in year 12 with one less subject to get through I'll probably have more time for revision of other subjects or runescape (:D) but we'll see. ------------------------------------ Even with the advent of my new-found maths class, I have time for runescape. Although not as much, I still have time. So, my 99 mining goal still lives on. It will take longer than I planned, possibly two years until I get it now, so that means this blog will get pretty old :lol:. Even though study is important, I still have to allocate time for relaxation, so that means runescape time (and hopefully getting a level or two ;)). PS: Sorry I didn't get the level last night, I was doing some maths work but kept getting distracted, so it took me longer than I thought. And I didn't even get it done :wall:. So once I finish my hw tonight I'll get that level. An easy 10K exp :P.

I know, I felt stupid quitting so close to a level, because now I'm gonna feel worn out after I get it, so that means I'll have to take a break and do... *shudder* ...Maths homework. <3: Added you as well :D. Thanks for the grats as well, 76 in about an hour. Will be explained below :P. ---------------------------------------- Okay, some good and some bad news for you all. I'll give you the bad news first. Okay, here we go. My runescape time will be cut down to around 5% now that I'm back at school, but its only the one class that will be causing me so much trouble. Which class is that, you say? Its maths. Now, I know I hate maths, but that doesn't mean I wan't to do bad in it. So, I tried really hard last semester to turn it around and it payed off, with excellent grades and everything. Problem is, now my workload will be tripled. Yes, thats right, I'll be getting extra work from the subject I hate just because I wanted to do well in it. Well, school's funny that way. Work hard, work harder, lose your life... Anyway, Iit was all explained to me in class. Basically, I'll be rushing through the year 10 course in about a term and a half, then we will be doing the year 11 course (2 unit) until the end of the year, then we will be doing the year 12 course, and trial HSC papers until we see if we can sit the HSC in year 11. So, I'll have to start studying once my year 10 course is completed and we move on to year 11 work. BUT, I still have to do study for tests, because I will get kicked out of accelerated if they think I'm not doing well enough. Basically, I need to get around 70% on my tests all the time, otherwise I'm kicked out. I also have to do all my homework, test corrections, and study, otherwise I'll be kicked out as well. Sadly, it's a dog eat dog situation now, because only 40 out of 90 kids can make it through to year 11. Oh well. Better knuckle down sometime this week and study. Still, once this is all over, I'll have year 12 without maths \:D/.

<3: <3: <3: thanks for the add to friends blogs :D. I like to return the favour, so I've made a section for friends blogs as well :). PS: Very nice off of one task, the most I ever made was around 60K :lol:. EDIT: Don't delete it! Last time I did that I regretted it big time. Trust me, you'll feel bad once you do :P.

Only 10K experience till 76, I suddenly got tired though so I'm gonna go to bed and get the level tomorrow lol.

I was excited at first, but I agree that it probably is a hoax. No pics, info, or anything except this guy and his friends claiming that they saw some woman teleporting around picking stuff out of a square of dirt... And noone else has seen her, and no other threads have been made.

Wow, that was some killer research there. I'm just waiting for some Jmod to hax the forum and remove your information like an American Government conspiracy cover-up :lol:. Very nice research and I love how you joined all the dots together, I can really see this as a new skill :). Looking forward to seeing what it is, maybe not exactly like you put it but from the info here I'd say you're definitely on the right track :). That would mean that I have to focus on combat next... Well, yeah I can do that :P.

95/99 every trip around the arena means a little closer to 99 :D. Keep it up you're doing awesome :thumbup:.

No experience today, I have a maths exam tomorrow so I've being studying, and still am. I'll probably get some rs time in tomorrow, if I don't get too much work/projects. The weekend is better for me tbh :P.

First article was very good, always love tyhose kinds of articles :). Second article was interesting. I agree that all the updates lately have been extremely boring from my point of view, because all they are is Machinima video competitions. Even though I enjoy watching the videos and everything, I didn't really want their major update for the week to be something I don't want to participate in. The Orb of Oculus will be quite interesting as well, but again I feel the same way because all it does is fill up another update slot that could better be spent on developing something else. Clans are a pretty big part of the game however, because they bring people together that enjoy a certain skill(s), boss hunting, PvP, etc. and do what they like to do, so technically they are playing the game because they want to play the game, like you are stating in the article. Clan support is quite overrated, because clans aren't the thing that keeps the game going, but they still deserve the support that the get from Jagex. Sorry if my post is kinda wierd, I am feeling kinda light-headed :P.

Dang, some nice levels there since the last time I checked :lol:. 70 Summoning I could never do... The last time I went out to gather charms I left about an hour earlier than I'd planned because I was so bored :lol:. That and I don't really like combat :?. Anyway, keep it up mate, you're doing really good so far; All 70+ will be pretty impressive :D.

I see you still hate LRC with a vengeance :P. Quick 30K or so today. Not as much as I'd hoped, but I was blue screened by CoD 4 today so I had to fix that up, then I went to the pool for about 2 hours to do my usual laps (usually every weekend) and my other regular duties, so it was a pretty busy day. I'll be mining all week though ;).

Don't plan to quit anytime soon ;) thanks very much for the support :D. Hoping to be in living rock caverns by next week sometime. Possibly, but Iron is a bit too fast for two ores at a time :P. They'd have to lower the mining rate and make it a bit harder to get, probably maxing out the experience rate at around 50-55K an hour. And I'll get around to changing the title :P. Lord, what I wouldn't give for 50-55k per hour in F2P. :pray: Congratulations on 75 Mining. :thumbsup: You'll be in the LRC in no time my friend. :grin: Thanks Kaida :D. Living rock caverns sometime next week I reckon, if school goes smoothly...

1419 for me; I tend to focus on one skill at a time. I predict that I'll quit at toal level 1700 or so, because there won't be any more skills I want to get to 99 :P.
