Zippy

Jin has been named "Zippy" by Mr. Right Wright during History, due to the fact, according to Mr. Wright, 1)Jin talks a lot 2)She started to call Andy "lame duck" for some reason (For joking and laughing probably).

Mr. Wright then showed us a picture of "Zippy"-

Yesterday was anniversary of Fabio's famous phrase

Yesterday was the day of the anniversary of Fabio's previous saying: "If you hate me, kill me". Fabio confirmed that it was Period 2, at the end of the period.

I am back

Hello,
Blogspot works again, and now, I am BACK. :) Just checked just now for no reason (Probably because I seen other people's blogs spiced up)...

And Juliet Benjamyn-I have 95 posts in total. You have 92. Hmm. Wonder what happened there.

-FyreVortex

Hmm. Again?! Stupid...

Blogspot doesn't work again. For some STRANGE reason. And now I predict Facebook doesn't work. Wait, lemme check.

*later*
Hmm. Weird. Blogspot doesn't work but Facebook does. Usually those two either go off together or go on together.

... Blogspot doesn't work. Again.

Animation is awesome

Animation is awesome. Nothing else to write. I have a "writers block" right now so I can't think of anything good to write. No comments from Shinigami saying that my "normal" writings are horrible/junk/useless please.

-FyreVortex

Oh lol

I'm on the car, at someone's connection (I don't know who's, but WOW, it's fast) and I can see Blogspot again. I blame my connection for not being able to connect to Blogspot.

Ok, rejoined.

(That was fast)

-FyreVortex

Quitting Blogspot

Blogspot doesn't work. Blogger.Com does. 'Nuff said.

Science.......

Ok. This is officially the 4th time I forgot to bring my Science homework back home... And this time Jin (the girl) saved me by typing up the questions for me.

Thank you Jin.

BTW, I'm animating something. :) ... 

Update at 8:20 PM-Just noticed that I got 90 posts. :)

MacBook lagging like mad

39 GB hard drive left... (Leppy kindly donated 30 GB to Vista) And my MacBook is lagging like mad. Probably because I was chatting and that chat system is... Junk. Lol.

I'm probably going to reinstall Leopard and remove Windows on my MacBook after I get my new MBP.

-FyreVortex

Oh LOL

Oh LOL. Google is blocked. This is both funny hillarious and stupid at the same time.

They better fix it now. As my friend... Um... What's his online identity name again? ... *Thinks*

Oh yeah. Bob. As Bob would say, "People these days". LOL.

Update: Steve confirmed that Google is blocked on Safari. LOL.

Fire... Fyre?

@Juliet: "I hate fire. I like FYRE. :P

I am Fyre Vortex, the guardian of light and the defender of Water. :P"-(My reply to Juliet's post)

---

There is a difference between fire and Fyre. Fyre is a combination of Fire and Air, which becomes Fyre. It is a better, more enhanced, and easier to use element.

Fyre Vortex is only the current being that has the ability of Fyre. All the other fake "fyres" (Fyre Slasher... *AHEM* Jack) have no ability over the element of Fyre.

Reply to Fabio

@Fabio: Fabio, I think you need to calm down and explain everything.

And I don't like Yvonne, thanks a lot Fabio.

Also, I think that you need to focus on the positive things on life, and I am echoing someone. I have to admit, I'm not a very positive person, who is becoming a Nemo (Just keep swimming, just keep swimming) right now. And I do have some characteristics of being a Nemo fish

Update: I do'nt cut.

Bitter Sweet Symphony

Just finished downloading it legally. Don't read this post. Pointless+Boring. Just reminding myself in the future.

Uhhh hmm???

I sent the Spanish Clothes Roleplay to Mr. Escat's email (Or now, supposed email), david[dot]escat[at]dulwich-shanghai[dot]com (replace the dots with . and the at with @ respectivly) and then it (Mail Delivery Subsystem???) replied saying that it was delayed.

Then it sent another delay message.

Then it said domain name not found? Uhhh........?

Packing Problems? LOL.

Well, there is this problem where I fit my sleeping bag into my suitcase and theres like only 1/2 of the space left. Lol.

And I tried to unravel and restuff in the sleeping bag. Took like 3 tries. My fingers hurt so much now. Typing is like a vacation compared to that. Lol.

If I do that every morning, lol, I wouldn't have enough energy to hike. Lol. Well, I would, like I rested for around 1 minute, but still... Fingers hurt. Lol.

Pictures of stuff...

This first picture is the whiteboard where I write all my homework for the week... And look at what I got. :|

That is quite a lot (Click the picture to zoom in if you want) of homework in 1 week.

Well, next week we're going to Guizhou, so no homework. But I have to write a report for Chinese when I come back and also... Chinese test. *Gasp*. :|

I had the urge to take a few pictures today with my phone-camera... :P I won't forget to bring it to Guizhou this time. :) Well, last time in Yangshuo I didn't really take pictures. This time I will.

... Oh ya. I need to pack. Lol. Packing right after this post. :)


This is another random picture-My little brother's fake dog. ... Plushie. Huggable thingy. Whatever.

Anyways, I lent it my hat-(The red thing on top of it). It's worn backwards, so you can't really see the Ferrari logo. :|

... Well, nothing much to say about it.

Lol.

And did you read my CoD post? Read it if you didn't. :D

And this is my little brother's pet lion. While I was about to take a picture of it, it fell on the floor. So now it's lying on the stair rail, waiting to be washed.

... I gotta go.

And I haven't even finished my post yet.

*Puts back mousepad and mouse*

Last but not least, my rock! It's spray painted with silver paint when I was building this model car for... this thing.

Lol. :|

Ya, it looks cool. :|

CoD-My Experience and Thoughts

I first started playing CoD (Call of Duty 2 on Mac) when I started getting bored of Halo. (I was also told that it was the day Carl started playing Halo and got good at it. Lol.)

I played with Tenshi and the other people that he was playing with, and then I went up to 18 kills. I looked at the score: 1 below Tenshi. Then I got 1 kill, then I was above. Then he went up. And then I went up. And then we started lagging, and we just went off the server. :|

Tenshi admits that I'm actually quite good. :) Brendan the CoD Master says I'm okay. :D

While I was playing today, (I was using trench gun, which has failed me) and any auomatic guns that I can find on the ground of the enemies) and I was able to kill many people while hunting solo (... People kept on following me.) and then I disconnected. I retried again and it worked, but then I lost my 20 kills score. So then I started from scratch, soloing again, and then the Year 8s started invading our sever and started lagging us (Well, it was mainly Tenshi's fault on the first disconnection, because when he joined I lagged. And don't say you can't sit on the floor lol, Fabio sat on the floor, and later, Brendan took over Fabio's computer.). Joshu-*Ahem* I mean Maths Geek kept on being cheap and throwing smoke bombs but I secretly went to the enemie's camp behind the grand piano and assassinated killed them in their confusion. Later after the smoke bombing party, I was ambushed by a group of the enemy and was killed. Lol. (Pff, you guys went the WRONG way!!!)

CoD is awesome. Halo looks like a piece of trash compared to it. Lol.

-FyreVortex

... *Brain yawns*

@James: Lol I developed the strategy for Ananad but then they didn't listen to me until the last game, and we won in the last game. I also nearly scored but ran backward when Fabio was running at me, and I was like :O and then I went off the area LOL.

Ya the trench gun failed me too. I don't know. Maybe the lag or something. I also found that the automatic one is good. :)

I'm probably going to animate something... :)

Comeback: Top 5 computer and phone companies

@Fabio and @Fabio: (This is a reply to the Ground of Fab's post) I think that the Ground of Fab's two posts on the top 5 computer and phone brands are very biased, and are based on people who are biased/have those phones/computers.

Top 5 3 Computer Brands: (UNBIASED, with LEGITIMATE reasons on why I believe that they are the top 5 3)
1. Apple-Innovative design, which started with the MacBook Air, and then the new MacBooks/Pros, which combine the designs of MacBook Air and iMac (Although I hate to admit that it's innovative and awesome, it's still ugly in my opinion), first company to be capable of LEGALLY installing all three major OSes (Operating system) onto it: Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.
2/3. Dell/Sony-Dell has cheaper prices, while Sony have higher prices but the best designs in the laptop/desktop markets. Dell, on the other hand, has ok designs but what you get cheap, what it looks cheap.

Top 2 Phone Brands: (I only picked two, since I only know two brands. I can't really comment if I don't know.)
1. Apple-(Again) Coming with the best TOUCHSCREEN, innovative device, the iPhone and the iPod Touch-It is 1 year more advanced than the phones in today's standards, and introduces multi-touch gestures that have found itself into the trackpads of the new MacBook Pros and the MacBooks. Although it is chained to AT&T, it does not mean that they not have any freedom-They can still dial calls, although they can't switch phone providers. And a Verizon iPhone is coming soon. So that thing you said is false. Apple also has a good interface in them.
2. Motorola-I saw and have one of their latest phones, a touchscreen one, but it'll take around like 2 years if they wanted to integrate touchscream with such flexibility in it.

... Postphone?+New MacBook Pros thoughts

@Justin: Isn't free dress day supposed to be free? Lol. And postpone isn't spelt as "postphone".

Justin's quote-of-the-day:

Teacher: "What system is your brain in?"

Justin: "Organ system."

LOL. :) As the Ground of Fabs said, the new MacBook Pros are quite cool. I attached a picture here:

Well you see, it has the new black edges around the screen and it's only available in the glossy (Glare. Ever met that on a MacBook? I have. :| It's horrible.) The new MacBook Pro is a combination of the iMac's screen where the screen edge area is black, and the glossy display, and the new rounded edges come from the MacBook Air, and the original form factor comes from the original MacBook Pro.

The picture on the right (----->) shows that the new MacBook pro has the latch, which the normal MacBooks have right now-If you don't know what a "latch" is, it's the thing where you put your hands into to pull the screen up. Originally, the MacBook Pro had this button where you push it and the screen will be released and you push the screen up. So it's a magnetic latch, as I heard from other people on forums.

Along with the new MacBook pros, a new MacBook was released. No offense, I think it looks even worse than the new MacBook Pro. The black bordering screen area for the new MacBook Pros make the whole thing look bad.

What differs the new MacBook from the MacBook Pro is that the new MacBook Pros have two graphics card, one for high performance, and one for battery saving, which is integrated, so that it saps less battery (Up to 5 hours).

Also, the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros only have one touchpad, without the thing that you press on. On the new MacBook Pro, it is possible of multi-touch gestures, and also that it has been made bigger.

The new black keyboard also comes from the MacBook Air design. :|

The speakers have been made smaller.

And here's a picture for you to compare it with the keyboard of the new MacBook Pros with the MacBooks-Notice that the white MacBooks, (Previous design of the MacBooks) have a button under it, while the new MacBook Pros and MacBooks have NO buttons under it, allowing more space.

Would I buy it? (New MacBook Pro) I don't know. I am in need of a computer that can animate properly (Dell desktop is too inconvenient, and I will probably have to format it and reinstall Windows again soon-I clogged it up with many projects over the last few years. :D), and if I animate on my existing MacBook, then that means that it will clog up and make my laptop slower, since I only have around 40 GB space left (Leopard kindly donated 30 GB to Windows...). So that means that I will probably have to buy a new desktop, either an iMac, or a MacBook Pro. Personally, I think that a MacBook Pro is better since I can move it around and that it has better graphics... And it looks okay horrible. :| Will I still get it? Probably. Bring it to school? No. :| A bit too heavy, since it is a third (1/3) more heavier than the previous model.

Images courtsey from Apple. I decided against hotlinking them, because then it would use up Apple's bandwidth and then they might sue me.

But all the credits for the pictures in this post goes to Apple.

Update: I hotlinked all of the pictures except one-I hope Apple likes the links, since if people click on them, it goes to Apple.Com's version. :)

New MacBook Pros here!

The new MacBook Pros are here! Very disappointing-Matte screen, which means that if I get it, I will still get the glare from the screen... ... >.<

Latios, be careful.

@Latios: (@ is the reply symbol for Twitter.) I suggest you not to talk about Bosskeys on your blog, since other people, including teachers can see it. Personally I have nothing to hide, so I don't need a bosskey. And anyways, Apple has the preset "bosskey", if you would like to say it, which is Apple+H which automatically hides the program.

I"m sending this post through an email which redirects it to Blogger. :) So I'm actually not on my Blogger, and I'm sending this after I have sent my homework to myself to print it.

The Imaging Campaign

(I am setting this post to be published at 7:00 AM on my desktop so that when it's, 7:00 AM, it will click the orange "publish post" button-Originally written on October 14th, 2008, around 9:35 PM)

The Imaging Campaign. Am I doing a photographers campaign? No. Sorry. I don't own a camera at the time of writing, but hopefully I will get one sooner or later. (Depends when later is. :P)

I first explained the word "Imaging" in the computer terms to some friends on Skype today, when they didn't understand what it meant. (The post where my definition is, is here: FyreWhirl.)

While I don't actually mean "the cruelty of the binding of laptops", it isn't quite nice. I tried installing something for a friend today and saw the "authenticate" thing when trying to drag an application to the "Applications" folder. I don't get it-Why didn't they bother to put the option where they let the person/student who is using the computer copy/paste/edit the Applications area? It's not like they're going to drag everything to the bin.

I first received this letter a few days ago (Sensitive details has been removed. It's actually a good thing that I uploaded this picture instead of someone else, since I sniped away the email, addresses, the phone numbers, signature, and name that was on before.)

I think... I also heard that *some teachers* have not imaged their laptops because they think that they do not need it. Well, I think that I don't need to image mine, because I want control of my computer. Although I understand that they want to "configure everything, install the printer drivers, the programs that are needed, and 'let the servers see the mac address'", I also think that the control of the computer should remain in the student's hand.

I find imaging also very inconvinient on the school side also, since imaged computers cannot receive bluetooth files. That is probably why many teachers and students have problems with sending and receiving files over bluetoth and saying that it's horrible, it doesn't work, ... I first also thought that at first, but then realized after I brought my unimaged laptop that I bought from the school to school, that bluetooth was in fact, really useful, and powerful. It saves a lot of time of sending files if you know how to use it. (Opening up your browser, and thne typing in the username and password for the Dulwich network, waiting for it to load like a snail, then go to your email, then log in, then wait for even more as the network is suffering under the amount of web requests that other Macs are sending, then you get to the mail interface, then you click "compose mail" or something similar like that, then you type in the email address of the recipents, and then you attatch it. Now, depending on the file size, it may take from seconds to minutes to hours to days. And then after it has attatched you send, then you log off, and then you repeat the procedure with the other person.

Also, I think that I have found out why that the school Macs are so slow-It's because they imaged it and paired it up with the network and then because, I predict, that the network isn't capable of syncing with so much macs and having them log on and log off, is why it's slow. And also that they have pushed in a lot of "unnecessary programs". Well, not really unnecessary. But some unnecessary settings. :| These are all my opinions, so don't take it as if it's CNN.

Today, I received a letter like this.

I'm really wondering if this is necessary or not, since I'm sure, MANY people are aware of passwords, what a password is, and how to change it.

And even if they didn't change it themselves, their parents changed it for them through the imaged admin account.

Looking back at this, I think that its unnecessary but it's also useful for some people who don't know how to change passwords.

I also think that this ties in with the whole "imaging" thing, because I think that they really want you to image your laptop.

It's also really funny that the person who wrote it (Name sniped off, due to privacy reasons.) put "Version 1.0" under in the footer.

I think that people should be aware of imaging, what it is, and what's happening in it.

I will be posting more on imaging when I have time during the weekend.

Also, why did I snipe off the names? First, I don't want to get in trouble for putting the images online with the private details, second, I am aware of the privacy issues online, third, I think that it's just RIGHT that their privacy is not... Like disrupted.

If I wrote an article and put up MY private details into it, I wouldn't WANT someone to upload it and show other people the details.

So thats why I took away the info on it.

Comments appreciated. No swearing, flaming (That includes hate messages), or any offensive language please.

New MBPros coming in...

3 hours and... 40 minutes until the Apple Notebook Media Event!!! Which includes new redesigned MacBook Pros, aluminum MacBooks, ... :) :)

Note to Juliet Benjamyn: Actually getting a refurbished MacBook is better then getting the new, possibly aluminum MacBooks. Why? Since the MacBook that you got refurbished was tested, it should be better, and 1st generations of everything are usually horrible and are the ones in the product line/s that suffer the most from bugs and problems.

Update: 3 hours and 38 minutes left! WOOT! :)

... Yes, I have to agree with Shinigami James on this one: This post is kind of pointless. But I just posted since I'm so hyped up about it.

Should I call Lee? Or should I not?

Should I call Lee right now? I want to ask his opinion on something... :| But he's not on MSN or Google Talk. >.<

Should I? Or should I not?

Message to Shinigami James: If you don't like this blog, stop following it then.

... Ok, whatever, I'm calling him now. I hope I"m not disturbing him. :0

Update: This is my 70th post! ... No, James, don't post here and say that I post useless stuff and thats how I filled up to my 70th post. If you would see all my posts then it would fill many pages in Word. :) As I said on Juliet Benjamyn's blog (Funny, I think the warning-notification message disappeared. :|), "Random?! Useless?! What about YOURS? Random killing spree. Ya. 1 and 2. 3 and 4. Oh no. I hate my life. My wii was taken away.

What is Imaging?

Byzone Definition of Imaging:
Imaging is the extreme cruelty of the binding of laptops. They take away your admin privleges and spy on you...

They also claim to "install software for you" and "keep you safe". Unfortunately thats the opposite. It clogs up, and thats why last year everyone hated the Macs because it was slow. Why? It was imaged.

They also can view, spy, and control your computer with specified paid software from Apple. By taking the admin privledges away through imaging, they make it so thating your computer to be spied on. And you can't change that. Why? Cause they take away your admin privledges.

By doing that, you can also not install software without your parent's approval. Double bonus for the Apple staff. :|

Also, I see a BAD layout, ... What else? Ok picture, bad poll, since there are too much options, categorize it, and random fonts...

So much homework... :|

So much homework! *Looks toward planning board* Art, D&T, History, Math, Music, Chinese and Geography. Whether it's revising for a test or answering the questions for Spanish, it's still homework. :| I'm doing Art right now and I'm going to put live updates below.

Live updates starting from 10:53 AM-
10:53 AM-Doing art right now. So far I have done over 1/3rd of it and spent 12 minutes and 45 seconds before I paused it and made a post on DCS Bloggers, and now, FyreWhirl.
11:34 AM-4/5th of the art thing done, spent around 33 minutes. :| Back to work.
11:43 AM-Done. Just finished putting stuff back and washing the green marker ink off my right hand. Total time spent was 46 minutes and 09 seconds. :) It is over the 40 minute time though... (The 46 minutes do not count the rests...
11:44 AM-Switching accounts on Mac to do a picture for Charles. I hope he pays. Lol. :)
12:12 PM-Finished. I did it the hard way... Oh yes and LOL, I don't think Charles will like it. LOL.
12:13 PM-Checking Spanish out now. Lee says that it's quite hard. =O.
12:33 PM-Back, going to do music now. :|
3:33 PM-After failing to animate something SO simple for 2 hours and it just flys around, I give up. :| Time to do homework again. Well... I just finished the last of DT.
3:34 PM-Wondering what homework I have left.
4:05 PM-So far I only finished Art and had one class and failed at animating something. I really need to do something now. Time to do... Music.
4:06 PM-Getting music, starting to do it.
5:24 PM-Another class, finished music at 4:29 actually. :| So I hve History test, Math test, and Chinese workbook to do. :|
6:30 PM-Finished dinner, finished a bit of Chinese, playing a flash in-browser MMORPG right now with Latios (Don't ask-Tenshi, Shinigami James, you'll say it's horrible. So I won't mention it. :P) Can't believe that Latios said that it is better than RuneScape.
8:33 PM-Yes!!! After going through many quests, I have gotten a wolf! ... And it took me 10 minutes to find where to upgrade it-Swordhaven helm shop.

-FyreVortex

Not much to say...

Not enough time, not much to say. Just posted on ByNews. Or I'm GOING to. Like right now. :|

Update at 7:20 PM-Oh yes, this is my 60th post. :)

Ok, I'm doing live updates now, to see how productive I am.
Starting at 7:30
7:30 PM-Starting to do Chinese.
7:40 PM-Finished Chinese homework. Looking for something else to do now.
8:00 PM-Finished Spanish roleplay script. Sent it to Lee and Latios. Hope they print it out and memorize it well.
8:05 PM-Turning desktop back on. Apparently I turned it off while doing Chinese so 1)It wouldn't produce heat and noises 2)Distraction . Well... Now I have to print Spanish stuff. So I have to turn it back on again. :|
8:24 PM-Finished fruit, printed Spanish, looking for what I'm going to do now. Art is out of the option, since I didn't bring my book back, DT... I finished it, except for 2 questions that I couldn't find online, Geo... I might research it later, History is studying test but we haven't gotten what to study yet, Math... Well, didn't bring that back either. Music. :| Brought it back. Yup, I'll do music now. :)
8:25 PM-Starting to do music.
9:10 PM-Well I actually didn't do music. I have nothing to do right now. I still feel like I have something though. :|

-FyreVortex

Wow...

Wow, these two devices are sweet-... Well, thats how Jack would say it. I would just say they are cool. Lol.-4 port USB charger, and a WIRED mouse... Well, I personally don't like wired mouses, but Fabio does. :)

I wonder if the 4 port USB charger explodes/makes the power socket explode though. :0

Well, nothing much to say right now. Doing Science. :| Also found out that there is a homework/test-preparation for each period. ... :| I guess the disease that was noted in the DCS Bloggers was correct.

-FyreVortex

... Helping Fabio right now

Helped Fabio invite Ben to his rumor site... *Ahem* I mean it is NOT a rumor site.

Ahhh! Oh and I did three posts today.

Post 1-3 of my blogs flagged.... No reason?! Link.
Post 2-Debate with Ben. Link.

Annnd... This is my third post. I usually don't do three posts, just one, but... You know, exceptions are here and there, and of course, these 3 things are equally important.

Oh yes. I nearly finished the D&T questions but I couldn't find links/information for 2 of them. :| I think Science is due tommorow... And I forgot to do it since I forgot to bring it back. Probably this disease. ... I like forgot everything today. Nearly my locker combo. Lol. But instincts did it for me. :P

Note to myself: Always bring back all stuff that I have homework for. No matter what.

Oh yes, and DCS Bloggers, cmon, follow my blog!

-FyreVortex

Pff... Ghost?

@Leez- (@ is the reply symbol for Twitter.)
Pff, Ghost? And oh yes, ofcourse isn't a proper English word. It's of course. :D Ghost is that awesome vehicle in Halo right?

... Oh, you talking about the horrible Symantec Ghost that you *ahem* pira-I mean "aquired"? I personally think that it's useless, and a waste of space, because Symantec always bloats up the security suites and overcharges them...

Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 is so much better. :) It has Kaspersky live CD. :P And it comes FREE with the... Oh wait. You didn't buy yours right? But KIS runs awesomely fast. Check the reviews on CNET, PCMag, ... Oh yeah, and :P.

UPDATE: Oh, and you're using Avast?! Seriously? ... Use AVG if you're going free, Be-Lee.

-FyreVortex

3 blogs flagged... For spamming?

It seems that Blogger is taking like... Security precautions or something. Maybe they're trying to reduce server space, or trying to weed out spammers. They have flagged... ihatestandardform.blogspot.com as "adult content" for some UNKNOWN reason...

And they flagged 3 of my blogs, BySwirl, ByProjects, and Fire Water Ice Earth as... Spamming?! Whaaaat?!

I'm currently submitting and waiting a review right now...

And no, James, I don't spam.

-FyreVortex

Apparently I don't know I'm dead yet

Apparently I don't know I'm dead yet. It's 9:31 PM right now and I'm on my 3 3/4 page for English, done the ending, but haven't finished yet. And I'm still blogging and commenting. :| ... I really should start working now.

School starts tomorrow! That means more news for ByNews! If you haven't followed it, follow now, as you will get updates to the exclusive news, only at... ByNews! :)

-FyreVortex

FyreVortex is NOT BEN! Lee is NOT Fyre Vortex!

Due to the recent confusion, Fyre Vortex is NOT Ben, Lee is NOT Fyre Vortex.

I am NOT addicted to Doraemon. Lee is NOT addicted to blogging.

Period. :| I did NOT do the Doraemon post on DCS Bloggers. -_-

-FyreVortex

Gah!

... Bored. Homework?

English-Nearly done.
D&T-Done.
Spanish-Done.
Chinese-Done

What else? :|

-FyreVortex

50th post mark celebration!

Yes!!! I have reached the 50th post celebration! ... Well, I don't know how to celebrate that though. Lol. :P

Well, I think that its quite a achievement... Although if I blogged everyday since March, I would've gotten... *Calculates* Around 247 posts! WOW! ... Lol.

I may be closing down this blog soon for renovations or something... Or maybe I could just hang a sign in the picture area. :P

-FyreVortex

50th post

This is my 50th post... Wait, really? *Checks* Oh WOW! This is my 50th post! YES!!!!

... Bored. Nothing much to say about.

-FyreVortex

... Nothing much to say

Nothing much happened today. :| Starting to get bored since yesterday, just like Shinigami James. :|

Join Twitter! A Web 2.0 revolutionary product! Join now!

-FyreVortex

Woah I nearly forgot that!

I think Spanish is the only subject that I mention on my blog (Except for History once, and probably Science, Art, ...), ... But Spanish gets the most mentions!

... Yes, I did nearly forget to do the worksheet. (This a reminder to all the people in the DCS Blogosphere!)

... Firefox just crashed. In case you're wondering, on my PC. DELL pc. :|

12 hours ago...

12 hours ago I started the challenge of not using the computer for ... 12 hours? Lol. Well, I did succeed, and what came out was drawing 6 ... Drawings, making a paper silver cube, reading until the part where the story started getting stupid, ... I'm uploading 2 of the drawings right now and also a picture of the silver cube. :)

... Silver cube picture taken. With a background of the famous Windows Blue Screen of Death. :P What did I make it out of? ... Like hard paper. :) ... Did I spray paint it? Sadly, no. I don't have spray paint any more... Nor do they sell it at B&Q now.

... *Gasp* I used up 2 MB of precious storage space on Blogger! :P Too bad they don't have an option of buying more space or anything. :|

... Actually they do. :) But it's kind of like a waste of money. Lol. Pff. Funny how they only let you have 1 GB of pictures while the other rest 7 GB (At the time of writing) is reserved for Gmail. ... Well, the storage is shared IF you buy the upgrade. I think the 10 GB ($20 USD) is reasonable, but will I buy it? No. Funny how I used 0% of my storage in Gmail.

Coming next... The DCS Bloggers promotion and a picture I did of Latios, Lee, and I. :) ... Why does Fyre Vortex look weird? Well, Latios and Lee both had things to refer to, but Fyre Vortex didn't... So I had to make it up.

... Well, actually I'm going to put something onto the pictures to make it more... "FyreWhirl". Lol. I'll upload it later. Like in... 5-10 minutes?

Update at 8:06 PM-Here it is. :) Message to LatiosBlue and Lee: It's my first time drawing both Latios and Doraemon, so it was quite hard. I still have like 4-5 more pictures like these... :) Maybe upload them sometime later.

Separate message to Latios: Hope you don't get offended by this, cause it was kind of hard to draw Latios (First pic) standing up so it kind of warped. And the second one, the head became a bit too big and the rest of the body... Well, I couldn't look at your blog picture because I was doing the October Challenge (Read my last post) and I did the picture while doing the challenge... :)


Oh yes. And a random fire picture I did online. :)

Update at 8:22 PM-I think Doraemon looks awesome in the second picture. Note that I kinda hard to warp Doraemon from the first picture (Since I was referring to it while doing the challenge), and I added the cap, remembering the Doraemon movies with him and the flying cap. Note that... (Didn't I say that already?) I designed the cap out of my imaginations, just remembering the idea, so it might look weird: *Ahem* Lee, please don't critisize me on the propeller cap. Lol.

-FyreVortex

The first of October... A new challenge.

Today is the first of October... Well, I'm prepared this blog post yesterday so I could just copy and paste and start the challenge.

Since this is a new month, obviously I'm going to post more stuff into the blog posts, tweet more on Twitter, and... stuff. Lol. But I'm going to start off with a new challenge: Don't use the computer for one day-October 1st, 2008. And you're going to say: "-_- Hmph, it's so easy, unless you're addicted. Well, yes, it's easy, but I'm still going to try. :P"

I'm going to look back at September: Many new DCS Bloggers joined Blogspot, including the rejoined Lee, the new Shinigami James, Juliet, rejoined Latios, ... Too much to mention. ByNews was also setup, Byzone received more and longer posts, DCS Daily was set up by Latios, ...

I'm going to go for a day without Firefox, without reading news, without socializing online, without tweeting, ...

It doesn't really matter though. Things I might do today: Listening to music, planning, doing the new project/series, reading (1/6 through), ...

No James, it isn't the mogo disease. :P

-FyreVortex

Romeo? Latias? Water Vortex?

Romeo? Latias? Water Vortex? In case you don't know what I am talking about, refer to this post: LatiosBlue. :P

... Gah! I just tripped over my charger wire and my whole charger went on the floor. >.< MechQuest. Lol. It's too bad that Fabio is off and Shinigami James isn't on MSN right now... :|

Update at 7:19 PM-(Probably last update) I didn't do much today except for sleep for a hour or so. Played with Thomas and Fabio, but Thomas had to go, Fabio couldn't connect and blamed it on the wireless, I started lagging in the other games, ... I tweeted much though: My Twitter. Too bad no one uses Twitter...

-FyreVortex

Lol. Shinigami James posted his blog post 13 minutes ago. :) Considering that he lives right next to me... Yeah. Lol.

Ok. I think I'll have to go to the doctor for some medicine or something, but I don't have fever, but then again, if I don't go to school next week, it would be a disaster, and... :| It's hard to catch up if the teachers don't know how to follow the homework timetable and just start chucking us homework and saying that "Finish the classwork." ... According to the timetable, thats not an exception. :| "Follow the timetable"

Did I mention no fever? ...

Oh yes, and I owned Fabio yesterday with James (The same person) in Halo. Lol. Fabio called it "cheap". I call it a "neighbor team". :P Well, James did ask me to join his team.

... I'm like trying to drink the medicine, but like the straw won't poke through the plastic or whatever it is. *Poke poke poke poke*

Update at 10:00 PM-... I think I just heard the Halo startup theme. Remember the *awhhhh hhhh ahhhw* singing thing? ... Is it from the nearby school? ... *Hears more* Wait... That's my little brother watching TV... LOL.

Update at 10:39 PM-Just now there was this quick burst of wind going through the trees...

-FyreVortex

I have flu?

I feel sick yesterday and even worse today. Flu... :| I really shouldn't have went out yesterday during lunch when the wind was like going crazy.

... I feel quite sick. It's good that more people blog now in DCS. I know FyreVortex (Me lol), Latios, Literature Forever, Juliet, Lee, James, and his brother.

Replying back to Shinigami James' post, yes, it seems that the backboard has disappeared...

Update at 12:13 PM-DELL mousepads are a DISASTER. My mouse somehow goes really trippy when used on it. Wood is even better than it! ... I only have 1 "good" mousepad that I have right now so I probably have to custom make one. :|

... Oooh! I have a mousepad from my old school. It's not as good as my "good" mousepad, but it's so much better than the DELL one! Probably DELL's one is for trackballs and stuff... Well DELL, it's 2008! We use LASER mouses! :P

Update at 12:32 PM-No fever right now. :| I think I might'll play RuneScape for now. Not a lot of energy for Halo... :| ... Or maybe I'll just not do anything at all. :|

... There's this weird sound coming out from my Mac. I think it's the CD drive. Or maybe the hard drive. It's coming form the left part of my laptop.

Update at 12:59 PM-Yup, the weird noise is still there... :| Funny that I haven't noticed it before. Also, my fingers hurt, since I peeled a boiled egg while it was really hot. Lol. *Ow ow ow ow!*

Update at 1:27 PM-... Seriously, my internet is like... Slow. It takes so long JUST to load a MMORPG online! ... Stuck at 84%. :|

... Finally, it loaded. I turned off all my chatting programs and all the things that might be taking my internet bandwidth. :| Or maybe it's Safari. I'm going to use Firefox next time.

Update at 1:35 PM-I feel like turning off my Mac now. :|

Update at 4:30 PM-I woke up a hour ago I think. I'm playing MechQuest right now. It's so much better than 4 months ago. 4 months ago in MechQuest it was insane to buy anything good. (For your information, it's a RPG-Role Playing Game. A story, enemies, ...)

... On a side note, I became level 20 in it. :)

Update at 6:21 PM-It's weird how I checked my temperature a while ago and it was like this: 36.0 for both ears. I checked it again: 36.0 for the right, 36.1 for the left.

-FyreVortex

Fabs... The Mousebreaker

I'm currently creating a photo right now for my blog in paint. It's kind of hard to make so I'm going to take a rest.

Update at 12:56 PM- It's really stupid how Fabio took my mouse and decided to drop it. Now it feels weird. If anything is wrong with it, I'm blaming Fabs.

Update at 5:39 PM-In case you're wondering, yes, Fabio likes the name Fabs. I asked him once and he said ok. I also created my profile picture for Blogger. Yes, I am FULLY aware that it can be copied on my "lookalikes", aka, name copiers, and I'm going to brand it later. Like NOW.

Update at 6:04 PM-Finally things are going! I finished the branding of my profile picture and now it looks good. :) I kinda messed up on the X though, but I cannot fix it now... Lol. I'm probably going to make the FyreWhirl intro animation sometime later. I wonder where I would put it though after I'm done. :)

Update at 6:09 PM-I have a really good idea for the animation... ... Actually I don't. :P

Update at 6:18 PM-I'm off to watch Kung Fu panda on my MacBook. Why? For inspiration. What inspiration? Movies, animations, music, ...

... Ok... When I insert the disk a weird humming noise appears... And after a while it got rejected and went out. Let me try again... *Push* *Sounds* *Hears the "healthy" disk spinning* Oh noes... I think I hear the weird humming noise AGAIN.

... Ok. Third time the... Whatever. *Inserts and waits* Yes! It works! :P Off for some inspiration. (I like the sound effects and some of the music in it.)

Update at 7:34 PM-Gonna play Halo with Lee now. Read this important news article: Yahoo News. Also watching Counter Striker Trailer on YouTube.

Update at 8:29 PM-Stopped playing Halo with Lee, since I was lagging. Went on Mac Halo and played with Fabs. I owned him in both matches, and the later one, he said he had to go. LOL, probably because I was owning him really badly in it? LOL.

-FyreVortex

... I guess it was ok.

I don't know if I failed or not. But it was better than I expected. What I expected was a whole stack of papers, each with 50 questions on it. :|

Update at 6:19 PM-Lol, translate runs funny while typing. I either type it wrong, or suddenly stop typing in the middle of the word... Or probably that my typing's weird today. :|

Update at 6:39 PM-I would like to think that I'm an avid blogger. An enthusiast. I just LOVE blogging. It's awesome. :) Over this month I have seen many that I know join legion of Blogger. Latios (Who used to be called Lucario), Literature Forever, Lee (Previously Leez Shadowing) and more coming.

I first started Blogging as an experimental thing. ... Well, not really. I loved creating websites, wikis, blogs, ... and I tried Blogger. It was AWESOME. Blogger is so easy to use, but so customizable. Yeah yeah, some people may say, it's NOT customizable at all. Well, it's easy for novices and experts who just want to blog. People who REALLY want to customize their ultimate blog can build it out of scratch. ... Na, that's a waste of time for me. No offense, but thats my thoughts on it.

Update at 7:11 PM-I was chatting to Lee today, and we were talking about Warcraft when he suddenly said he wanted to get music for the trip. :| I don't mind listening to the same music... I'm probably going to buy some albums... Hence the word BUY. I dislike pirating... A LOT. I'm probably going to buy 1 album and probably some extra songs. ... Probably 1 or 2.

Update at 7:32-Some people just DON'T get the point of blogging. I blog because I do it for fun. Not for money. Look at FyreWhirl. Ads free. Why? Cause I don't see the point of dragging people here for ads. Some people *ahem Lee* put ads on their blogs. When I ask him, Lee, the reason why he puts ads on his blogs, he says that the whole point. Ok...

Let's take a look at Literature Forever. I like how the content is in there. Original. ByNews. Original. Thats the whole point of blogging. Communication. Not money making.

I hope people understand now. And even if you put ads on your site, it's wasting space. Why? Cause you earn like... Nothing. It's better to work in McDonalds in US instead for $10 an hour if you're in for the money. :)

-FyreVortex

3 hours... No, make that 4.

It is 5:04 right now and I currently have 3 hours left... No, make that 4. (9:00 is when I will stop.) We, the Spanish students in the school, have around 118 new words to study (My friend says 180)

The 4 hours doesn't include showering, eating, ... I estimate all those other-than-studying stuff will take around 30 minutes. So that means that I have 3:30 left. So thats 210 minutes. And I have around 150 words to study. So i have to study 1.4 words per minute... :| Thats really hard.

I dont' think I'll make it.

-FyreVortex

My Goal for Today

I'm redoing my art right now.

Live updates today:
4:39-Starting to do art.

Update at 10:07 PM: I actually didn't do live update. :| Oh yes. Please take a look at this article: By ByNews.

When is the iTunes Music Store going to Hong Kong? And it better support Paypal...

When is the iTunes Music Store going to Hong Kong? I really need to buy music... Like right now. And the last rumors of the store opening was at 2006. :| Thats like... :|

And it better support Paypal, since Amazon doesn't, and has its own 0_0 Amazon Pay junk...

I finished most of my homework today, doing D&T right now. :|

Update at 7:23-Just encountered a Blogger conflict. :| Should I start using Wordpress? ... :| I'm so used to Blogger and the ease of uploading the posts though. :| Maybe Wordpress for something else. :|

-FyreVortex

New Byzone branch, organization is not for me, ...

Ok, a new Byzone News branch is coming up... Like right now. I'm making it right now. Bynews. :) Sounds very familiar, hmm? Byzone, Bynews, lol. Bywhirl? No. Not going to make that. :P

9/20/2008, 11:09:38 AM-ByNews is officially live.

Organization is NOT for me. I seriously mess up things, do the thing really horribly, don't focus on it, or something like that.

Ok... You're probably thinking what-in-the-whirl is ByNews? Isn't that a replica of Byzone (Which has tech news, reviews, thoughts, ...) and another waste-of-your-time projects?

No. Byzone News, or ByNews for short, features news from different people from... Anywhere. We cover news that are not already on other major news organization. Well... It's all user submitted, so yeah...

It's also very funny that I prefer posting on FyreWhirl more than on Byzone now. Back to By-Zoning! :D

Lol the new Microsoft campaign post went accidentally on ByNews. What, ByNews and Byzone looks so similar!

Update at 4:15-I'm playing AQ Worlds right now. Pretty good, just finished the new chain of pirate quests but don't have enough money (50K?!) to buy the new water sword. :| Also, I am experiencing lag on AQ Worlds now. Maybe because of their servers or something, or maybe on my side.

Tommorow, I'm also going to talk about Amazon, MP3 stores online, DRM, and my opinions about it.

-FyreVortex

Flipbook animations

I was searching for inspiration today... Well, not really, but through curiosity did I find these videos:




I think Post-It notes are not enough for making flipbooks. We should have official ones. :D

-FyreVortex

Spanish (Again?!)

I'm doing Spanish again. New video ads on Byzone coming soon. Those video ads are from antivirus companies-Nod32, Symantec, ...

I just had an addition to watching antivirus ads from the AV vendors this morning... So I'd thought that I would save the bookmarks and share it with the readers of Byzone.


Live updates from 7:24 PM
7:24-I did the back of the Spanish page but I didn't understand what to do on the first page. I'm going to do History right now then waste hours on figuring out. (In case you're wondering, I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do.)
7:32-On question 10 on History. :)
7:40-Found this cool video on YouTube. Back to Question 10.
7:41-To question 10!!!

... Fabio is really violent, hmm?

Fabio is really violent, hmm? I don't know how the blame shifted from Charles to me today, when Charles didn't borrow Fabio his eraser. Fabio started getting angry at me and glaring at me... What is his problem?

7:22-Doing spanish right now. Around 1/2way finished.
7:33-Checked email. Still 1/2way through. Going to go speed now. :)
7:35-Spanish is giving me a headache. Time to go down and drink water. (This is called calling a break in an indirect way.)
8:00-4 sentences to go for Spanish. Just returned back. Going to have a quick check at something and then back to work again.
8:01-Computer is lagging. :| Time to go to the Mac then.
8:12-16 minutes of battery on my Mac left. In my rush, my bag accidentally closed the lid of my MacBook. NOOOO!!!! (I'm downloading something, in case you're wondering. Wallpapers.)
8:17-Argh! Everything is messed up now!!!
8:21-LOL... Watch this. This is awesome. Video on YouTube.
8:31-4 sentences left. ... It seems that I miscounted at 8:00. Tempted to use Google Translator for doing Spanish homework? Don't. It will fail you. Do NOT use it for homework, I repeat. I use a dictionary... A paperback dictionary. That's why it's taking so long.
8:37-Tip of the day: Do not use the built in (As Jack would say, Intel Intelgrated Graphics card... 0_0) Firefox downloader. It has a high chance of cutting off when downloading something big. Always use a resumeable downloader. Flashget review for Byzone coming soon.
8:50-Yess!!! On my last word of my Spanish translation!!!
8:54-Done a while ago. Packing up my Spanish stuff... Starting History. Again.
8:55-Oh yes. Thanks Leez Shadowing (Lee), for typing in the Spanish translation sheet... I didn't bring my Spanish things back home this weekend. (... Last weekend was a disaster. I forgot to bring Spanish and Chinese back.) I don't know if he'll continue his old blog or start a new one.

Who is more paranoid?+Argh

Lol. Jack is paranoid, hmm? Lol. So am I. Hey Jack, do you wash hands while switching between operating systems? Lol. Actually I don't, but I just did that once. Unintentionally.

This morning at 11:00-I feel horrible. Very horrible right now. And I also had a weird urge to play Millsberry, a virtual online 2D world (Game based on clicking.) for some reason.

Guys, also please visit Byzone, my tech blog.

Update at 3:03-I spent 4 hours and around 13 minutes outside today. :| And I just checked the Spore website. My MacBook can run it. :)

-FyreVortex

Hmm... I feel... Normal... (Used to be called Think-I-Got-A-Virus)

I think I got a virus called Freegate. Do NOT, under ANY circumstances, download an application called Freegate on Download.Com, no matter how good it sounds like. 1)It does not work how it sounds. 2)It is a virus, according to some virus vendor's website. 3)I am full scanning right now to see if I got rid of it yet.

-FyreVortex

Negativity... Is the way to go.

From now on, I will be posting extremely negative news on this blog... And any other of my blogs. Because of course, I feel horrible. In the way of frustration, sadness, etc.

First frustration news of the day: My XP failed and cannot activate. I blame it on the DELL reinstallation disk. :( On a side note, I have just activated. But just feel sad. Ok?

Just had a fight with Leez Shadowing. Our friendship is torn apart. Do you want me to explain? Contact me in real life. What do you need before asking? A very sad feeling.

Sad. Frustrated. Feels weird. Negativity... Is the way to go. :(

Update at 7:17-I still feel very negative. And Leez just messaged me a while ago. I wasn't there. If I was... Something bad would happen.

Anyways, I just looked at the EA website and looked at the games there. The two games that I might want to get are Spore and SimCity. Problem: No money. Period.

Also, in the future, I'm sure all posts are based on negativity, so I better let you know the signals and codes. At the end of every sentence, there will be a face (For example, :( or :|). :( stands for negative at the time of posting. :| Stands for neutral. D:<

Update time lost: (Read 2 paragraphs below for more information)I talked with Jack today... It was a really interesting talk. Anyways, my mood became better after talking with him. :) Slimblade FTW!!! Also, Jack bought a ~$100 mouse.

Update at 9:22-Weird. Mac OS X said that it was 2 o clock in the morning at 9. And I also forgot what I was about to do... :( I kind of got used to using Windows. I may use Windows more than Mac now. And I also had this weird contact adding me and messaging me... And apparently this was a spammer... And spammers are virus givers... And that person was wierd. Blockage. Also, there are two links I want to share: The thing we nearly died (The Hadron Collider thing) at... 's network has been breached by hackers. *Gasp* Forsythe reports. Airline loses corpse.

Woah. My posts messed up. I don't know what happened. The paragraph that I did about Jack disappeared. Hacker? And also, I do not know how my email went to that person... I suspect that someone's computer has been compromised (Viruses has infiltrated their computer/s) and the MSN contacts have been retrieved. :O

Talking about getting used to Windows, I now use Ctrl- things instead of Apple- keystrokes... Weird.

My user privacy is disturbed by Gregory

I got in contact with Gregory today and went to his blog... And my privacy was kind of disturbed when his blog had a stat counter, IP counter, ... I can't post his blog here without his permission, so if you're in contact with him, ask him. Also, before going to his blog, use some anonmizer before going. You don't want your privacy disturbed.

He also told me that there was a rubber battery stealing prevention on the laptops. What? I never heard of a battery stealer. I only heard of battery charger stealers but never heard of battery stealers.

Also, my friend (Gregory) uses Norton Internet Security 2007 by the way.

Backing up, installing Windows, ...

First of all, I would like to encourage you to read the blog post below this post about how Windows XP is a virus... :|

I kinda like to update my posts now for what I'm doing (I started one yesterday.), so I'm going to do it for today, but not as precise... (I'm trying to install Windows today so I'm backing up... :D)

Also, quote of the day by me-A "modern day excuse" (Do not use it. If you do, anything that happens is not my fault. Do not blame me, or my blogs. Well, anything that happens that you read on my blog is not my fault. :|): "A virus ate my homework!" Well... Only on PCs... :D For now though... Viruses may come to Mac OS X soon.

I also do links to my friends' blogs when I mention them the first time in posts, for example, Latios below.

5:34-1/2 way into backing up my MacBook. Also introduced Tower Defense desktop to Latios.
6:05-Latios is idle on the messenger, finished backuping. Posted a comment on his blog, installing Windows now.
6:30-Hmm... Finished converting and now downloading my Boot Camp guide online. :|
6:44-Printing out my shortened boot camp guide. So far the text is not off the page. :)
6:55-I have started installing. I see a blue screen, configuring it right now.
7:04-Installing now. :|
7:20-63% of formatting the disk to NTFS right now. I suppose I'm using the normal formatting since it's quite slow, and not the quick formatting, which I do not want to happen. :|
7:36-Around 70%. Either time is going really slow, I'm not focused enough, or I'm not doing enough work. On to History!
7:38-Just heard my Mac reboot. How could 70% jump to 100% in two minutes? Something better NOT be wrong...
7:39-Windows XP booting up, looks very weird though. :| Might try minute by minute update or 5 minutes by 5 minutes update/s now.
7:40-It says it's going to take around 39 minutes. Man.
7:51-Installing now. 33 minutes now I think.
8:00-28 minutes left. How? There was this new window asking about some other settings so I had to click it for it to continue. Wow.
8:05-14 minutes left. I suppose there wouldn't be any more confirmation boxes to click, hmm?
8:08-Heard Mac reboot again. Going to check whats going on.
8:13-Adjusting resolution right now. Going through the tutorial right now. :) Good experience for me, hmm?
8:16-XP installed successfully. I'm off now. Going to get some new "Windows Experience". :D
8:26-Scratch that. Installing drivers using Leopard disk right now.
9:36-I'm off for the night. Everything ok.

Windows on a Mac?

Just wondering guys, is it possible to install Windows on a computer with a reinstallation disk? My guess is no. :|

... Spanish homework, science homework, 8 'o clock, ...

It is 8:00 right now, 8:05, to be exact. I still have Spanish (... 2 pages, 25 questions each side) and science homework to do. ... (FyreWhirl is catching up to Byzone, with 21 to 24.)

I'm going to post updates.

8:05-On question 6 right now. (Spanish 2 sided 50 question total worksheet.)
8:08-question 12.
8:11-Question 15.
8:13-Question 21.
8:16-Question 25 done. I'm not going to take a break until I finish the second side. Then rest, then on to Science. If I have time... Random stuff. Byzone reviewing, probably.
(Found these random links while taking a short break (not the "real break): Postman hoards letters. Rubbish bin polices coming to your nearest bin? Lol. ~1650 RMB. Wow, for overfilling your bin! Well... That's kinda true though. But think of what that could buy! People killed in an ice cream shop?! Wut?!)
8:24-Starting now.
8:26-4 questions done. Actually taking the "real" break now. Yes. It's the -->Real<-- one. Be back in 10-15. 8:41-Back... Hmm. How much time did it take again? 17 minutes. :| Oh well. Off to work again! 8:48-Actually haven't started yet. Look at this: LOL Symantec thinks that Windows XP is a virus! HAHAHAHA!!! And I was about to buy Spore, but not anymore. DRM...
9:02-Staring again, Latios said that he would be back in 10 but so far, 10 minutes (exact right now) has passed. On number 5 now.
9:05-Number 9. May install Windows later... Or it's too late. I'm going to also need to finish the Science homework. :|
9:10-Finished another mini-break. Now back to business... :)
9:18-Whoa. Latios came back, and I didn't do a thing. Speeding now. Question 14 now.
9:24-Took another short break. Speeding again. Question 19 now.
9:27-Yess!!! Finally done! Around one hour, including 1 break, and 4 mini breaks. Time to go get Science now.
9:57-Wow? How did time get by so fast? Still on question 3 of science...
10:09-Ranting with Latios right now. Doing science. Ranting.
10:14-Still ranting. Question 8. But it's Latios who is doing the ranting. I am merely listening. (And replying back... Whaat, you expect me to not reply in a chat?!)
10:19-Finished Science, going to put stuff away, draw a picture of Latios.

Microsoft makes virtualization product, the world may not end right now, and more...

First of all, Microsoft has made a virtualization software (And if I'm correct), it lets you allow to run other operating systems without third party applications such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Link from CNET and CNET.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! The Atom Smasher may end the world!!! Or it may not. News.Com.Au.

Hmm. Let's wait until it happens. Tommorow. *Gasp*

Page (iWork '08) Confusing...

Although I appreciate how simple iWork '08 is, I don't think it's as user friendly as Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, because of the first experience that I had when I began typing numbers. It began spewing out 1, 2, 3 when I made each sentence, and I had NO idea how to turn it off. I tried to look through the inspector pane and it only showed me the options of 1, 2, 3, i, ii, iii, ...

In the end I just used - instead of numbers to "confuse" Page and not make it go automatically. (Yes, I tried backspacing and deleting it. Backspacing just went to the line on top of it.)

What I don't like... Well, from what I heard, is that Microsoft Office 2008:Mac slows down your computer really much, and that is what I do not want it to do. I'll use Pages for now, or download a copy of OpenOffice online.

Also a news article that I found on Chrome about how it won't kill Windows? BusinessWeek.

iLife '08-Whaaat?! I have to pay for i?!

Just bought iLife '08 for 850 RMB. So expensive. And it was their Leopard that wiped my hard drive. :| Well, it is kind of my fault for selecting the clean-install option though.

I bought it at the iStore retailer near school, and I had a horrible shopping experience there. Very horrible. Well at least I have it now, and the disk looks pretty cool. :)

Installing iLife '08 right now. Post back later.

Later: iLife '08 is installed , quite quick and god right now. Going to post my thoughts on it later.

Also please visit my friend's new blog: Latios.

Leopard

My experience on Leopard so far... Very good. Except for the slight malfunction of the Safari's WebClip where it either didn't update, wouldn't update, or messed up and showed the wrong area, it's quite good.

Although I haven't counted the startup of Leopard, I estimate it to be around 20 seconds. My shutdown is 5-6 seconds, and is much faster than Tiger.

There's nothing much today... I'm off.

Sony recalls TZs, Windows 7 15 second bootup speed, Space station laptop catches virus?!

Lol, Sony is now recalling the ultraportable laptop TZs (The one that Mr. Gavin has). Possible overheating? Solution: Don't bring your TZ to vacation, and definitely, adding to my last post, do NOT, under any circumstances, put a TZ on your lap. Article from The Blade.

Windows 7 achieving 15 second bootup? Make it a 45 second one. Also by The Blade.

Got an iPod Touch or an iPhone? New blog featuring app reviews set up right now.

Space station computers use Symantec's Norton?! Kaspersky is way better!!! PC World.

How to make burgers+Leopard

Here's a link I found randomly on the web on "How to make burgers", in case you're interested: Click here.

I also got Leopard on the first (9/1/2008) and did a clean-install over my copy of Tiger. Unfortunately I did not think about my iLife '06 so now it disappeared, along with my Big Bang Board Games and Comic Life. :|

Additional links: Patent for keystrokes page up and page down?! Microsoft.

Halo Is AWESOME!

I just downloaded Halo Demo for my Mac and it's awesome! Although I have to admit that I'm horrible at it, (I once died 30 times in a game), but it's so fun going on what-are-those-planes-called-again and crashing people on top of the enemy bases!

Halo is AWESOME!

My friend... Let's call him TechSensei is awesome at Halo. :)

Jack The Time Waster?

The Game Is On! (Continued)

This is FyreVortex reporting from the Pocket Tanks Deluxe Season 1 Week 2, with the score currently 9 for Leez Shadowing and 6 for Bob!

The second shot from Leez with Water Balloons missed but one of the balloons hit it's target. After a while the plastic hit Bob. Now Bob readies his Bouncy Dirt and then it misses and hits the Tar, which Leez is trapped inside. An explosion happened and a way is clear for Leez to fire at Bob.

A whole lot of mud is piled on top of Bob but he retaliates and fires a huge hole through it. A hair-

This has been interrupted by Kayzar so we cannot continue.

The Game Is On!

A Pocket Tanks Deluxe contest is currently on! This is between the well known RTS "Specialist" Leez Shadowing and Bob (He doesn't have a Blogger name yet so I'll call him this for now.).

Current Statistics:
Leez Shadowing- 5 games won so far.
Bob- 7 games won so far.

In Game Highlights:
-Bob just used a Gamma Blaster and successfully hit Leez Shadows while he was hiding under a pile of dirt.
-Now Leez Shadows is currently trapped under a pile of dirt and snow. Bob is currently activating "Shelter" right now then Leez did a mega reaction... The whole pile of things just BLEW UP!

Now... The contestants are preparing their weapons and entered the field! The Game Is On! The area looks really peaceful... Then Bob activated fireworks and attacked and did Tractor Beam... The effects are stunning! Leez is currently winning right now but Bob is catching up using his array of weapons!

Next contest results are going to come in tommorow...

Ahh... Tech News is going slow right now, so instead I will do some game reviews on my other blogs.

Did I Press That Button?

Lol... Today my friends were playing Pocket Tanks Deluxe and then when I walked there... Leez Shadowz, one of my friends did a suicidal move and rained missiles upon himself... At that same time, I walked there, seeing that he had done that, chuckled. Now he blames me for "pressing that button that made him lose points."

Besides that... everything is ok. Except that I wanted a new pepper shaker. The one from Masterfoods has holes too big... I shall upload a picture to this blog someday...

*Later...*

Speaking of games... I am really, really, really, annoyed at a game I play and enjoy-MechQuest. Overall, it's quite good if you're on a lunch break or something and don't have time to boot up a full sized game and connect to servers (Rakion, for example, by Softnyx), but their new update is HORRIBLE. I'm sorry to insult you, MechQuest, but I have to say that this horrific update goes on the list of one of the most HORRIBLE updates ever... (Well, in case you don't know... Energy Weapons 101, and Mysterious Johnson Part 1.)

The problem is, that you have to get "100" reputation. Yes, yes, that's straight forward. The problem is, that it uses a completely random "dice roller" (Yes yes, people who play BattleOn and DragonFable (Especially in BattleOn) HATE the dice roller. Well... I do and have plenty of people that hate it.) to get the "reputation points". I finished 8 ultra hard 4-5 mech battles (Each at 300 HP at least) and haven't got any reputation points. (That's the "Rescue" quest.) And the "Defend" Quest, I did it 6 times and only got 10 reputation... Wait a moment! Theres some problem! We start with 10 reputation. That's back to square one. Gah... Plenty of players on the forums complained about that issue. But then now, there's no more threads about it. Because they all got deleted. :|

*Later*

Ahh... Now I "feel the satisfaction" of getting 20 Reputation Points... After 8 Rescue Missions and 13 Defend Missions, I finally got another 10 reputation points. (10+10=20... :D). Gah... 70-80 more to go. (70 if the 90 reputation points thing still work.) ... :|
