Need to start working on it!!

July 3rd, 2009

I need to start working on my Fanlisting for the HTC Dream. But my heart doesn’t seem to be in it. I think I will tell them to never mind it and stick with what I have or adopt. Somehow It just doesn’t seem as cool

MoonStruck Chocolate

June 21st, 2009

Today I was assisting a guest who was down in California visiting but left her charger for her digital camera back home.  I found another charger for her as a replacement and as a thank you she gave me a chocolate bar.  The bar was from a company called MoonStruck Chocolate Co. up in Oregon.  Its kind of like Starbucks but thier focus is chocolates, cocoas, and the like.  So I flipped the bar over and found the web address and the site has so many wimsical and fancy chocolates all over it and they are available to be shipped world wide.  Fortunatly I am down here in Southern california so thats no big deal.  So I will taste this chocolate and see if I like it.  Whats great is that I had been looking for an online supplier for chocolate.  Since I have a reputable supplier of tea online.  I wanted someone to get all my chocolate products from.

New Fanlisting, Tiny PC woes, and impending upgrades

June 11th, 2009

In the fanlisting world, I got approved to run the fanlisting for the G1/HTC Dream phone.  I will be calling the site Something Dream related and refer to the phone as the HTC Dream.  Because 80% of the world knows it as the dream and only people in the US call it the G1.

I am building a new PC for a client and for the first time I am using a small form factor box.  This thing is adorable but when I powered it up for the first time yesterday I noticed that the vga output was not giving any output.  I am assuming this is directly related to the fact that I put a IEDE drive in for the harddrive as I do not currently have a spare SATA drive.  I may have to pull a SATA from another client’s computer to get this one working.  It’s not so hard because the Client’s who’s pc is currently harboring the only SATA drive is a non paying client.  So when i make my big order next week I shall have to place for a couple of SATA HDD, in addition to a couple of DVD-RW drives.  Once I get success with this tiny form factor pc I will get onto the other puter.  That will be one less giant tower in my workshop.  Hopefully This current client needs a printer also. 

Video card upgrade is impending.  I am not having issues with mine, as a matter of fact its fine but I need to update it.  I am considering a new case also.  Probabaly not a barebone but I wanna put an Athlon AMD Phenom Quad chip on this board I have and a Dual DVI video card in.  And my case has no card reader.

about the sims 3

June 3rd, 2009

I decided to put in my two cents. 

I hate it and I love it all at once.

What I hate?  Well its not like the Sims 2.  guess what IT ISN”T the sims two.  Its A game that has the essential building blocks created by people who want to try new things at our expense.  I don’t feel like this game is even finished.  The speed controls are so obviously off they have to know.  They just want to see what we thing.  Then there are the little things.  I LIKED being able to CALL a taxi.  Not magically have one show up.  I LIKED seeing my cars back out and roll off.  No appear in the street.  All this high end technology and you can’t make a car back out of a driveway?  Whats really going on.  Yes, there is a major limit on hair and clothes and furnature.  Guess it really is all about the Benjamins?  Its kind of like they went.  We don’t NEED to put all this stuff in, because they will buy it, because they are hooked on the franchise. I was going to drop 70 bucks for the platinum version on pay day. But as if it was a sign, i got this game as a gift.  And you know, I like it enough to play it, but if I had to buy it i wouldn’t.  But There are somethings I do like.

The Nuances.  No one’s really mentioned them and to me its the wee details that make me want to keep playing.  Like watching the Light of the sun Move across the ground.  Its cool that they took the time to make moving shadows.  The trees sway in the breeze but at what cost?  The butterflies are missing.  Meh. they were dumb.  the birds are awesomely realistic and I have seen sims watching them.   The waterfall and the movement of the water in credible. I sat and watched that waterfall for 10 minutes.  YES im not joshing. The first thing i did was turn on all my settings up and man, its nice. The shape of the leaves in the shadows on the ground.  But you know what I love the most,  The way thier eyes move, like human eyes.  Its all those little nuances that they focused so much on, they totally forgot the obvious stuff.  I could go on forever about the wee little nuances that make this new game like a Train Wreck.  I want to be disappointed but theres just so many things to see.  im not done even looking around yet. 

So like i said. I love it, and I loathe it.  But I can run them both (not at the same time. even on an SLI’ed system that is a stretch).  Although why the pinegulcher cheap table made it into this game I will never understand. About the sims

Recyled fanlisting

June 1st, 2009

I adopted the Chocolate truffles fanliting and i have it mostly set up.  All i need now are the members and affiliates list.  In making the listing I also learned how to make my own truffles and how STUPID easy they are.  Also That what we know as truffles like from see’s and stuff aren’t actually original chocolate truffles.  They are actually ganache rolled in irregular balls, and then rolled in a second hardened layer of chocolate and then in cocoa powder or nuts or sprinkles or what not.  So I am going to attempt to make some later this month.  I will post pictures on how they turn out.

Taking the Plunge

May 21st, 2009

I have always adopted out my fanlistings Via email and never via the adoption centre on TFL.org but today will be a first.  I have about 3 I need to unload because I am no longer as big of a fan As I was when I got them.  One of them is an Original to me.  that would be the ipod Classic fanlisting which i started as the iPod video fanlisting.  I have since gotten over the whole apple mind fuck and have even shed my iTunes skin.  So here we go.
