So I’ve weathered through a couple of hard drive failures so far. My laptop hard drive failed and more recently my desktop hard drive bit the dust. In both instances I was able to recover pretty much all of my data and continue on without much hassle. However I know this isn’t the happy ending […]

No luck on the PS3 HDD upgrade
January 24th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Personal
Right now the failure boils down to one of two things. Either I should have never formatted the drive from its factory state or My PS3 model just isn’t built for HDD upgrades I don’t like thinking either of them are true but it has to be one or the other. Back when I first […]
Another HDD bites the dust

Well, it seems my WD Raptor 150GB drive has up and died on me. I took a 2 hour nap today and when I woke up I found my computer had restarted itself for some reason and the boot screen greeted me with the message “Primary H.D.D. Not Found!”. Well crap. I had to run […]
2008 in Review, looking ahead for 2009
January 9th, 2009 · No Comments · Personal
I’ve read a number of journals over at GameDev.net from people who have taken a look back at the previous year and assessed their performance in achieving any goals they set for themselves, as well as re-aligning their goals for the coming year. This is a great idea and something I’m going to start doing […]

I made an oder off NewEgg a few days ago as part of my Xmas expenditure to myself. At the end of every year if I have enough money left over I spend as much of it as possible. Yes, I am not the saving type. I like to start each year in defecit and […]

I brought along two swords, a katana and Ninja sword, as well as both my guns, a Walther P22 and P99. We shot the pictures at the gym […]

I finally had the pleasure of attending a performance of Video Games Live where I was able to get to know more about the Elo rating system from P4rgaming, as the show was here in New Jersey putting on two shows today. Actually I’ve had the chance to attend VGL a few times in the […]

December 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Personal
Another great Christmas has come and gone. It was a great time this year. My family has always had fun gathering together. I know of families that hate being in the same room with one another for extended periods of time but everyone in my family loves getting together and spending time with one another. […]

Season’s Greetings 2008

I got a couple holiday cards this year, both digital and post, and I figured I might as well post them up for rememberance-sake. Also so I can say Thank You back to those who sent them along. I’m not real big into cards myself but I always appreciate getting some. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas […]

Burn Baby Burn!
December 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Personal
So I was running workout at the gym this afternoon when we lost power for about 10-15 seconds. I didn’t think much of it until it was time to close up a little bit later and one of the parents, who told me about BestForTheKids the other day, mentioned all the smoke coming from across […]
