A Dolphin’s Journal of Events

I just noticed my mail server was bouncing all the local mails. -.- I fixed it for my domain and NDC now. Generally I turned on spf and mx checking to help reduce spam [and it works], just it did it to mails sent from the server too. It’s all fixed now.

Anyway.. For christmas I got Ratchet: Deadlocked [for PS2, Online I'm known as Orca], and random stuff. I also got around $400 total from people in the family [yay0rz for the only family member who can fix computers. -.-], And with the $170 I had, I went out on a shopping spree on newegg.com.

Netgear switch acts as a wireless to ethernet bridge [sorta], and also will work as a print server. I’ll be able to setup all my equiptment in my office with that.
The ide to sata adapter is for my new mainboard, as the one I had for my pc build [Transphin] was old and impossible to find a processor for [hey.. it was only $30, why I got it originally].
Memory is DDR2 for the new board as well
New wireless router as mine is being really annoying right now and doesn’t natively support WPA, as I’m crazy about security. >.< It’s 802.11g and u [?], and all the cards in the house support 802.11g anyways, so we get a speed boast. Old router was just a 11mbps 802.11b, so it’s all good.
Floppy drive to replace the faceless drive I currently have, woo woo.
Y power splitter for mini-molex [floppy power] so I can power the ide to sata converters.
Card reader, why not? Includes extra usb 2.0 port. Now I can read that silly sony MS card stuff for my mom’s camera
Headset, to use with the on-board sound on my mainboard when at lan parties, as well as replace the broken headset for my ps2.. hopefully [probally incompatable.. but I have my tricks]
The new mainboard! Supports Hyper Threading, up to 2.6 GHz and 2 meg cache intel processors, 1 gig lan, 4 sata, 1 ide, 1 floppy, onboard full fan control, pci express 16x, 2 pci express 1x, 4 pci slots, some other random stuff you may not understand, 8 usb 2.0 ports, etc. It’s awsome, and not cheap. I’m a intel guy so I stuck with a intel motherboard, I don’t trust those other brands. Also comes with onboard video, which is excellent for onboard video. I got a ati all-in-wonder anyways I use.
And… 1 cpu. This processor sports 3.0 GHz with a 800 MHz FSB, includes 2 Mbs of L2 cache and even sports 64 bit processor directions!

Yep. So lets see… with this stuff I can..
-Complete Transphin
-Fix and Stablize network
-Get the PS2 back online
-Have a desktop pc again

I’m going to be putting the server [MIB00x] in my office, where I can access it more easily… possibly.

And etc.

Total cost of that random stuff [including 2 day shipping], $525.33 USD. Thanks to my family! I love you all!

Ok, bye.

’tis the season to get presents.. Yay yay Yay yay-yay, yay yay, yay, yay.

   (And a Happy Holidays!)

Yeah, I play video games sometimes. The only online games I’ve played was Microsoft Ants, and Ratchet & Clank 3. I’m waiting for Ratchet deadlocked right now, getting it for Chirstmas.

Anyway.. me and my brother are pretty hard-core when we actually are playing, my brother is able to start out pretty quickly, I take my time learning at the start.

So we were doing a deathmatch last night on R&C3, 20 kills to win, all weapons, unlimited ammo, etc. I’m blue, he’s orange. 1 on 1. Hoven map.

He started off pretty fast, 10 kills while I had 3. After that I begun to drag things out a bit and have him chase me. I’m a pretty good sharpshooter [or hip-snipper as they call them], and I loved mines. So while he attempted to figure out where I was I would snipe at him a bit, and plant mines. Closer range was the shock blaster and occationally more mines. I also used the mini-rocket a bit. Anyway.. After a bit I started to get the upper edge.

After 42 minutes, and 10 seconds, it was finnally over.

Close up:

Wow that was close, he won 20 to 19.

Yeah.. I need to get some more online games.

Anyway.. lunch now.. Done. Bye.

If you think the Internet Privacy Act 1995 (431.322.12) is real, then read this:

Ok, thanks.

spling decided to move his irc channel to a new server. On the motd [or really, irc news] it had that randomness on it. The server is used for botnets. The irc admins are friendly though. Anyway.. meh. I don’t really like the net much. But ok, woo woo.

Bye.

Doing Homework…

..done!

Spent all day trying to do it, and the past 15 minutes actually doing it. -.-

Anyway… some random code for today..

object object (object object = object) {
object -> object(object);
object = object[object];
object();
}

It’s not valid, just made it to make fun of objects. :> Objects can be anything. …because they are.

A function is a object
A varible is a object
You are a object.
Etc.
