20#


It's been almost 11 months since my first paintball gun. I've spent at least 40$ thus far in purchasing CO2. not bad, considering the year of fun I've had. Shortly after I purchased my first gun, I was talking to a friend that had just moved here who was building their house. they said 'when we're all done, you'll have to come out to our place and setup our network for us'. Well, they finished, I showed up, and proceeded to spend about 7 hours last weekend learning the dd-wrt firmware flash for the linksys wrt54gl access points. They have a pretty complicated setup that makes good use of the WDS options, and we setup a little satalite link between to places to push their satalite i-net around their property. They could not be happier. Turns out, they work at OxArc and wanted to say thankyou. You're looking at the proud new owner of a 20 pound CO2 tank, complete with siphen manufactured THIS MONTH and full of CO2. I'll drop a few bucks and get a fill kit for it.

Ok, who has the sandrail I can mount a gattling paintball gun on? I've got the air...

Christ, the Way of Life

After seeing a picture at an evengalistic seminar, I searched for it for a while.
I found
and promplty purchased a print for about $4 from our local ABC (these guys are great). I also found a cool blog entry about the origional engravings that inspired the work. I then took my salvaged picture frame off the wall (dumpster trip a year ago) and found the print fit perfectly in the frame. I think it was providential.

xbox hack, followup

the xbox hack was attempted almost 20 months ago. I've been gathering info, and making a few attempts every few months for a while now. as it turns out, I just had a bad action replay stick of memory - and using a 64mb thumbdrive from a friend, formatting it as fatx, hacking the driver using usbview.exe so the action replay software supported the thumbdrive and not just the action replay device I was able to use the action replay software to copy the hack onto the good media in the thumbdrive, and then use mech asault game to softmod my v 1.6 xbox. worked like a champ. I'm about 2 days from copying a new build of xbmc (Xbox Media Center) onto it and turning it into a head for my movies. Now all I need is some network attached storrage and I can get rid of all the computer noise during movies.
