GottaGetDownOnfriday

I love you <3: You never say things like that to me! You don't have the username Captain_Picard <3: Oh, so you just like him for his name! I see how it is! And perhaps the fact that nobody likes you. [hide] <3: [/hide] Captain's personal log, supplemental. I think I will be stalked by a TIF mod. I am scared. It is time to head on over to the bridge and take command of my crew as they flip burgers like no man has flipped before.

If you have a legit copy of Windows, go with MSE. I use it and best of all, it's free. Other AV's I would recommend are Avast! and Kaspersky.

Today I went with my star-ship buddies and pwned some Borg nubs. I am just chillin before I go to hel... I mean work. I changed my display name today and that's about it. -ballerplaya

Hello folks! It is ballerplaya under a new display Name on TIF. This is mainly going to be an update post about various Runescape and other video game related items. My in game name is Currently JOGL. I decided to go with that name because it is 4 letters and it is the name of the OpenGL Java binding I am using for my game engine. I also have an XBOX live account named "theballerplaya" I currently play Halo3, mw2, and WAW (NAzi Zombies) online so if you ever want to kick my ass in game, feel free too. Well that is all for this blog. In another 3-4 weeks I will have a tech demo showing off my game engine's capabilities. I am building a few more models, designing some textures, and building a custom loader so this will play in an applet like Runescape does. Captain_Picard out!

I broke a guy's hand with a beer bottle last night. My story was several sentences shorter than yours and tells so much more to the reader, I should be a writer or something. P.S the guy was my friend and he's okay now. However, several Canadians still mourn the beer spilled during the act. I worked 27 hours in the past two days. I am [cabbage]whacked tired and I am trippin balls in real life. I should probably be sleeping. I'm playing games with my girlfriend before she goes to work in a couple of hours. Also, Canadians always do crazy [cabbage] eh?

I am going to move out next month. I figured since i pay 300 dollars a month to live at home, I can afford 480 to live on my own. . I will also need to cover my phone and internet bills. I looked into internet packages and I can get a 16MB connection for 45 dollars a month + digital voice (Comcast) for another 35ish. I can get the triple play (phone internet and tv) for 89.99 a month through a family discount. I figured it will cost me 150-200 in food. If i subtract car insurance and gas usage bills, that leaves me with just under 400 a month for savings. If I qualify for any government assistance I will be better off. Tomorrow I am picking up a couple of rack servers from a business which foreclosed. I am scoring me two 1800 dollar servers for 200 a piece. Tomorrow I get to buy a tv, some furniture, and general things I will need for living by myself. The apartment I have a security deposit in for is a 900 sq two bed room apartment with a furnished kitchen, washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, stove, living room, bathroom, and entry way for 480 a month (since I am a college student) . A couple of people I attend college with own an apartment in the same area. I will use my second room for a gaming/tech room until I get a room-mate to share with. I am kind of excited. It is 2 miles from my work place so I won't spend 80 dollars a month in gas driving to work and back anymore. There will be no-one [bleep]ing at me for staying up late.

So after this year of College, I am moving to London. I plan on making a short visit my Winter break to check into housing, employment, and other vital things I will need. If anyone here is from London/Manchester/UK, I would highly appreciate some tips about moving and general life. What is the average cost of living, how much is internet (speeds as well), oh and food cost information would be appriciated. I looked up housing on gumtree.com and it is very expensive (400 USD a week on average for a 1-bedroom apartment/flat). Is there a cheaper way of living housing-wise? here would be a better location near London for me to live? How hard is it to get a job in the UK? I would be very grateful if anyone could answer any of these questions.

I use eclipse for large projects. Otherwise, I normally use command line + notepad++.

Merci, did anyone run around with a sign saying "Free st00f plox"?

They did. In the Runescape Varrock Insider Genesis show. I got some Devious Mud gameplay recorded. ^^ Was absolutly epic, really worth going to. Met Merciful and Calcarb and an Events Team Leader from RHQ I believe. Very cool stuff. Will upload the video's as soon as I get them done, still spending the night in London. :P Was loads more girls there then I was expecting too.:shades: Sounds great, so does the devious mud video. I'll be f5ing youtube till your vid shows up (programatically ofc).

Someone posted my number in the Adult services of craigslist and now I am getting 20+ calls a day :/ Got my blizzard authenticator today. It is cool.

Thank you all very much! I m in TS now under "ballerplaya".

There ya go! :P

How many people worked on this and what challenges did you/they face.

Ordered the g13 gamepad mainly for wow, some cable management gear, some sata cables, a few hdmi cables, and two more 9800 gtx's. Spent $500.00 or so. Next order is 4 23 inch monitors. I might wait a little bit longer and get 28 inch monitors. Dunno.

alcohol plus FEMALE cousin :unsure: Moral of the story. Don;t play COD while drinking with cousin My other first Kiss was like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2nuFRmtBIo

I did the work for you: 198-199-7-61486718 page 68. Yay he answered my question first which was:

My new Wow authenticator comes tomorrow XD. My dad cut all of his funding for my college(which wasn't much anyways). Now I have the dilemma of skipping this year of college and working or settling with an associates degree and a student loan instead of a Bachelor's in C.S..

The first few times I hugged my girlfriend I was like that. I was thinking to myself "Am I doing this right? Oh crap too low >.<". I like smooth skin and nice eyes. I like it when I can see myself in my girlfriend's eyes. Her skin is silk smooth and feels nice.

What's Runescape?

I agree completely. +1 and make it open-sourced :D

I have a dry-erase board for which I can write out things on. I have experience with Lua already (WOW interface add-ons and smaller projects) so I have a good understanding of it's capabilities. All I will doing with Lua is calling methods in my Java classes. All of my files will be organized like: com/enginename/packagename/file

Changed my display name to JOGL which is rare in two ways. One it is a 4 letter name. Two it is a Java openGL library. [hide=image] [/hide] I am starting to play more, mainly to checkout some of the mechanics of the game for my own game.
