I think I've chased people off skype already...

I have been getting into modding my phone. It's stock version of Android is 1.6 (A.K.A. Donut) and I just upgraded it to 2.1 update 1 (A.K.A. Eclair) and I am really happy I did. I also got an app that allows me to overclock

I think it's time that I tell you guys that I'm working on a program. Not saying the name, nor am I disclosing what it shall be used for. I'll leave that a surprise.

Um, let me guess... It writes two words, starting with "Hello" and ending in "World!". Congrats, I thought that was still above your programming level :p

By far, the best Halo. Halo CE is next in line, than Halo 2 comes in last.

[DarkShallFall]

Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo CE, Halo: ODST, Halo: Reach.

I'm hopeful that Halo 4 tops all of the above, from what I've seen on the production side. It seems to be pretty well planned out and developed in line.

Bungies sayings "building a game is like assembling a cathedral out of a hurricane." or "its like jumping out of a plane and sewing your parachute on the the fall", come to mind. These guys seem to have a solid workflow and project vision. I trust Frank O'connor with this game. Kiki Wolfkill seems to know her shit too, shes a cutie maybe just cus she works on Halo though haha.

First day on Vyvanse, I've been struggling with ADD my entire life. I also have a learning disability, and this seems to help aswell.
Starting on 20mg, then 40mg, fallowed by 60mg.
20 is cool. Excited for 40 haha.

Very helpful at work. I work at a architectural/engineering bindery, alot of multitasking and project focus. Now its a bit easier to work.

It just occurred to me that I forgot to mention, in July I graduated from the University of Abertay Dundee, with an Upper Second class Honours Degree in Computer Games Technology =)

Also, I'm going on holiday to Cyprus for a week with my gf tomorrow =)

Just had a call from a telemarketer. yes I know this is the Happiness thread.

He told me he was from <company name here> and that my computer had malicous software on it. I told him I knew because I put it there to study and program a fix for them. <Add some mumbo-jumbo nonsense about opcodes and assembly code> Apparently his book didn't have an answer, so he just continued on. My computer could have horrible results if left unattended "HOLY CRAP!" I said, he responded, "Excuse me sir?"

He would verify my CLSID and then continue from there. So I said that before I gave him my info I wanted to verify who he was so I asked for his IP address. He put me on hold, then a minute later came back with 192.115.138.2 I asked where his company was located; Los Angeles.

http://www.mensus.net/browser/ipis.shtm ... .115.138.2

"Hmmm... So you're telling me you are in L.A., but the IP you gave is located in Israel?"
"No sir, we are in LA. Our company is blah...blah...blah, let me spell it for you S-H-I-N-..."
"But the IP states you are in Israel."
"Pleas hold sir"

That's when his manager came on and told me to stop toying with his employee. I told him I was just trying to verify who they were. After repeating this twice, he hung up on me.

Hmmm.... ...Never been hung up on by a telemarketer before.

*My Happiness*

Went to a dance club, refused entry because of broken ankle, broke in 3 times past security (pot/cast, crutches and all) after 3rd time I say are you going to let me in because I'm making your security look foolish,
Land lady (owner) came out to say "come back in and I will get the police for tresspassing"
"Get the police love I have a ticket and have been refused access due to a broken ankle, are you aware of the 2003 disability descrimination act"
...
Silence, screwed up sour face, 2 mins pass, "In you come"

If this were Facebook I may have just clicked like and moved on, but seeing as that is not an option I'm forced to reply. How did you break your foot?

I'm sure there is a phpbb mod for that. Haha.

Last week my cable modem kept constantly resetting itself and dropping my internet connection. I called optimum, my ISP, and explained the problem over the phone. They sent a guy out Wednesday to fix the problem. After some quick testing, he ran a new wire from the telephone pole to my house, ran a new cord inside the house and installed a new modem, which is triple the size of my last one He also re crimped new connections on all the coaxial cables and installed new splitters for the TVs and modem.

Anyway I'm no longer having disconnect problems, and my download speed has been a steady 20Mbps even during the evenings when everyone else is on.

[CaptainPoopface]

@neodos: Congratulations on leveraging your creativity for profit! Wish I could say the same.
@Troy: Nice prank. Maybe next time upload a virus to them?

I would like to say thank you to JacksonCougar for keeping the site up and running. I always look forward to visiting the forum and seeing what's new. I also sense a modding comeback effort coming soon...

Please drag Demonic back into H2 modding when you kill him at Borderlands. He was resourceful for all kinds of things.

@ jackson, boring story: misjudged 2 steps and landed ankle flat to the ground.
gravity sucks...

[DoorM4n]

I got fucking plowed in flag football last night. I was the center, hiking the ball, and the rusher slammed into my right shoulder at full speed and almost snapped my collar bone. I have two massive bruises on my shoulder and right lat muscle and am fucking sore. BUT, I think I may be a masochist because I love the pain.

[Zaid]

So there I was sitting in the corner of my room lonely and in the dark. I stare frightened at the window across the room and see the demonic face imprint. As the window slowly opens and the screen window slowly starts to rip open I see a dark figure crawling into my room, as it sarts crawling towards me I turn around and look at wall just to hope that it goes away. I see a bright room full of family members and excitement. I stand up and walk into the room and my family members begin to scream and point at me as if I was evil. I run down the hall and enter a bathroom just to see myself in the mirror. I see a dark figure with antlers and a bright orange beak and as I start to cry the reflection in the mirror begins to smile. Not only was the mirror mirroring my emotions but it was also mirroring my thoughts. I exit the bathroom hoping that my family would still be there only to see a dark and gloomy house full of cob webs and broken walls. When the house grows darker and darker I close my eyes and lay down and begin to cry. When I open my eyes I am suddenly finding myself ripping someones screen window open and crawling through it while wearing a mask and fake antlers and see a frightened young child in the corner of the room.

[Gary]

Zaid, I think you need to lay off the strong stuff.

Geez! At first I thought this was in the dream thread. Did this really happen to you?!?!?

Zaid is possessed. Someone grab the Raid.
