That method insures that'll get sick of constant buffering and not finish the video anyway.

Still buffers faster than it plays. And of course on my modem I can skip around like it's an mpeg with no consequences (besides being slapped by cocks again).

The guy who made the Metal Wolf Chaos translation patch PMed me on Talking Time to say thanks for using the thing and spreading the word about it.

Just got done hanging with two good friends of mine I've known since the first day of Kindergarten. We had a few drinks, snuck into a closed park, and played on a playground.

Oh hey I got a full time, good paying job with benefits.

Oh hey I called my aunt over to "mediate" for my mom and myself and it seems to have lead to both of them realizing my mom actually pretty crazy, which is huge for future support in situations like this.

Oh hey while I was filling out the final paperwork for the job I got confirmation of payment on a freelance writing job I was pretty sure I had gotten screwed on about a month ago so I was able to put gas in my jeep and get food on my way home.

Fluttershy - yay

Pepper garden finally turned a dark brown. Time to make Sausage bread! :D

I got the best fucking tie today!

Lottel · « **Reply #668 on:** August 05, 2011, 02:36:25 PM »

Please tell me the tie actually says "Best fucking tie" on it.

The best fucking ties cut off your air supply just as reach climax.

I think this fits here too.

Replaced the battery in my iPod.

I've got an old hand-me-down 60GB iPod Photo; I like it. It's way bigger than I need for my music collection, and makes for a good external hard drive. But its battery died some time ago and about a week ago it started giving me the Sad iPod Face. (Near as I can tell this was caused entirely by the dead battery, as it works fine since replacing it and running a chkdsk. Which is stupid.)

Still don't have a smartphone; will probably eventually get one just because I should probably learn to develop for the things. But this thing works fine for what I use it for -- keep my few gigs of music on it, and load it up with videos, codecs to play said videos, various diagnostic tools, emulators, and so on.

I'm also tempted to get a radio adapter for it, now that I've got a longish commute. NPR's just fine but I'm thinking I could switch it up now and again with some radio dramas or suchlike. Ideally I'd prefer to switch out my stereo for something with audio input, but I've done a bit of research and for my car that requires some extra fucking about with the wiring harness, including potentially disconnecting the airbags. So I'm a bit leery of that, but I know dudes whose automotive prowess I do in fact trust with my life. So I'll put it down as a "maybe someday".

Also I'm considering wiping the thing, putting Rockbox on it, and converting my CD's to FLAC. Because I really CAN tell the difference between m4a and FLAC.

Just not when I'm using a radio adapter.

EDIT: Come to think of it, the problem with a radio adapter would be this: most of them are cradle-shaped things that plug into the cigarette lighter. And the only working cigarette lighter in my car is near the floor on the passenger side, which would mean I wouldn't be able to reach my iPod. Not that people should be fucking with their iPods while driving anyway, but it would probably be good to have it somewhere where I could reach the Next button if appropriate.

EDIT 2: $5 on Amazon? That's in my impulse-buy range, but it's hard to tell how long that cable is from the photo.

Free lunch, drinks (ahhhh... drink ticket abuse), and an afternoon cruise. All in the name of departmental whatzit.

The job does have upsides.

Does your car have a tape deck, in which you can use something like this?

Thad · « **Reply #675 on:** August 19, 2011, 11:42:12 PM »

Huh?

No tape; radio.

If I had a tape player I'd use a tape adapter. Probably still have one around here somewhere.

Man having satellite radio is absolute tits.

Sang a little song on twitter today. Wrote the song as I sang it.
Strummed a guitar in time with the words. Felt good and made me happy.
Of course, that could be because I was singing about dinosaurs.

Walls dusted, carpets vacuumed and cleaned, sofa and bed on order and scheduled to deliver on Saturday. Computer desk and TV stand will most likely come out of a box; that just leaves the dining table which I can sort of let slide for a while because 9 times out of 10 I will be eating off the lift coffee table while jacking it to Netflix anime.

Soon, I will be living like a civilized person again. Well, except maybe for that last part.

I hope you're watching something decent and not something awful like Spider-Man Unlimited.
