A Quick Note

Last Tuesday one of my best friends died. I made a journal post about it but it unfortunately found its way to a younger audience than I intended (MySpace - DUH!). Due to the graphic nature I was asked to edit it, but I decided instead just to delete it. I'll repost it later.

So I went to the gym last nite like I always do on Tuesdays to hang out with the crew. Got there around 10:40 and ppl were already well into working out and stuff as usual. Around 11:30 my friend Jon walked up to me and my best bud Sasha and said "Hey Sash you're gonna wanna see this. Or maybe not.…

Whoohooo! The UPS truck dropped off some early early early xmas gifts for me [grin]. It's unfortunate, but not all my computer parts were able to ship from the warehouse in Edison, NJ.

Well I bought the compy today. Whooo hoo! NewEgg has warehouses here in Jersey so the parts will be arriving within 5 days. That means I'll have the weekend to get this baby set up. I'll def be taking photos of the entire process. Oh yea I also bought 1GB of RAm for my laptop as well. Suhweeeet.

My insurance check for my car (which was totaled a month ago on Tuesday) finally arrived, paying me a cool $3,213.33.

Well I looked and at first I thought that I would have to stick with Outlook because there was no built-in calendar program or task list. However today I did some digging, starting first with seein…

Well after much delay I finally got around to upgrading to the latest version of Firefox, 2 point oh, early Tues morning. I'm pretty pleased so far. I miss some of the features of Tab Mix Plus, but that's about it really. Thanks to Lifehacker I was able to get it up and running all t…

So Torch! is finally released. I tried hard to get the file size under 100MB to upload it to MySpace before I finally said "screw it" and uploaded it to Google Video instead - not that I'm really complaining since I see GV as a perfectly viable platform for releasing my videos. You …

Auurrgh! I had to delay the release of Torch! because for some reason Vegas seems to be missing some of the footage I'm using and so in the latest render there are three black spots in the video lasting 1-2 seconds! When I look in Vegas they show up in the time line as red areas of f…
