The Dawn is Breaking...
My new Motherboard and CPU have been delivered to my home… unfortunately I am currently not there… hopefully the RAM {which shipped separately} comes today so that I can start building this beast.
I’ve been deeply researching this stuff for the last few days trying to see if there are any known issues or compatibility problems. Currently here are the quirks in my plan:
1.) It...

Okay... Seriously... What Is This?
How is stuff like this working? I’m talking about the little ponies running around everypony’s tumblrs recently. {there should be one on that blog}
It clearly isn’t tied directly into the theme, because ponies with a lot of varied themes are using the same thing. So how is it working then? I know it’s loading some kind of program when you first load the page, because I see...

Another Day...
My E key stopped working during the first paragraph of this, had to unplug my keyboard to fix it, that was fun. Random update after the break.
I am officially sick now, I can barely see straight, and I have finished and submitted my C++ assignment. Honestly, C++ is an extremely crappy language for speed, especially with top down design, my computer compiles pretty simple C++ programs {in top...

I'm Coming Down With Something...
I don’t think it’s the flu, but I don’t know, I fail at medicine. It started with a random sore throat and from there it’s just cascaded throughout the day. Hopefully I’ll be fine tomorrow, cause I have to program an assignment for my C++ class! That’s not gonna be fun to do sick!
In other news:
I almost bought a Motion Computing LE1700 today on ebay, then I...

What is this anyway?
I have been wondering to myself what the point of this blog is. I’ve been haphazardly slamming this account through a perpetually changing set of topics and purposes. I ask tumblr ponies questions, I write opinionated pieces on games, I write factual pieces on technology, I post random videos of all kinds, recently I’ve taken to rebloging everything I feel like responding to. I...

((World’s most epic ship:
Rainbow Dash x Rainbow Dash x Rainbow Dash x Rainbow Dash x Rainbow Dash.
Just saying, it’s the only piece of fanfiction i would ever bother to read.))
((I read a fic like that on EqD once. It was kinda interesting, Twilight cast a spell the wrong way and Dash started getting clones out of nowhere and making out with them. I have to say, it was...

It Has Begun... →
Well, I did it. I have officially created myself one of these ask blogs. I spent 30 minutes pouring over html I didn’t understand to try and see if I could somehow change the title of the blog to not have the first two letters of “ask” very slightly obscured by my background image, then I spent a sizable amount of time panicking about what I had decided to undertake. My first...

Does Thou Insanity Know No Bounds?
I’m thinking about running a pony ask blog for one of the princess ponies. Probably Celestia, although I may do Luna. It’d be as canon as I can keep it, and it would not be a draw blog. I’ve been thinking about it ever since askscoots said there weren’t any. Although, I did notice the lack of both before that. I’m on my computer all the time anyway, so I figure it...

The Notes of A Madman...
We had an exam review today in art history class, I took notes, and was extremely bored. I’m not sure, but I think these notes may help anyone in a similar class. I’m posting them here for no other reason than the fact they look like they were typed up by a lunatic… and someone will probably find them hilarious.
These notes contain obvious insanity and discussion of mature...

Command & Conquer: Equestria
That’s the new name of the Command and Conquer Generals: Pony Hour mod. I think this fits more, and it rolls off the tongue a little better than the other one. Anyway, more on this RTS pony game after the break.
I’ve been avoiding this post because I’ve been a little too busy lately to really get into it. I figure I might as well get this out of the way now before I decide...

I Have The Worst Timing On Earth...
I keep doing things at the perfect moment to miss an opportunity. I’m just epic like that I suppose, anyway, I’m thinking I might either post some more random stuff today or work on something for the future. Not really sure what I’ll do. I guess I might do a little of both.

rainbowfreakindash : ((Dash flying off broke my heart.))
[I like to think of it as her weighing the options. Her friends, or an entire city full of ponies. “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” and such.]
((Still… Feels bad, man. Specially since it’s not just her friends she left behind, they were looking for the elements to be able to defeat the...

Spoileriffic Opinions of FiM season 2 EP1!
Uncut and Uncensored! You have been warned.
It’s awesome, It’s awesome, it’s awesome, it’s awesome, it’s awesome, it’s awesome, and the animation is fantastic. Discord is the best villain ever, of all time. Chocolate rain was epic. I can’t believe I’m typing this, but there should have been full Pinkamina mode. Okay, maybe not full, that’s a...

If Anypony Had A Car...
So if ponies had cars, which would they have, and why? The question suddenly got stuck in my mind one day, the result; This post. So starting right along, let’s recap with:
Rainbow Dash:
In a previous post I said Rainbow Dash would drive a 1967 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500. I stand by this statement, it’s clearly the right choice.
Although the new 2011 GT500 is looking pretty sleek,...

Coldplay Just Streamed A Concert On Youtube...
It was awesome! I only caught the end of it, but the performance was spectacular overall. There’s more concerts going on over on YouTube if you’re interested. Some sort of music festival, I’m not really sure. In any case the link is here. AMD had a huge banner add over the concert. I’ve never seen a chip manufacturer advertise at a venue like that, ever. Well, I guess I...

Ever Since I've Discovered the Magic of Drafts...
I can feel my tumblr posts getting longer, and longer. I just want to spend all my time on here, typing away at huge random posts. I’ve got 2 I’m working on right now, one I’m thinking on scraping, the other is close to getting posted. I’ve spent a total of 4 hours working on the one that’s getting posted soon… I find that, an insane waste of time. I could have...

IBL in NFS Hot Pursuit
In my posts for Image Based Lighting I’ve mentioned that Criterion Games’ Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is one of very few game which uses this system. Considering that the only other game known to use IBL isn’t even out yet, it stands to reason that this may have even been the first video game out there to do this, and I actually have the game. So, I felt it would be cool to go...

I Would Post More Today...
But my computer room is being overrun by small lizards, and I’m thinking I’m just gonna leave for now and come back tomorrow or something. Sorry the only thing I posted on my own tumblr today was a rant on Bioshock, I meant to do a lot more, but I’m out of time today.
Thanks to all the ponies who answered my questions today though!

Bioshock Review
I just finished a game yesterday called Bioshock. I only picked it up recently for the PC, despite it being an older and relatively famous game. The game gets a lot of praise from a lot of people, it’s considered by some to be the greatest game of all time. Almost no one has a bad opinion on this game, at least not one they voice out loud. It is from all accounts, the video game equivalent...

AMD FX Give Away {US & Canada} UPDATE! →
Advanced Micro Devices has been running a contest to give away five of their new FX 8 core Processors since July. The contest was supposed to end early this September, but AMD has decided to extend the contest to October 12th. You can enter daily for a chance to win, and none of the other rules or prizes seem to have changed!
Which is weird, because according to their official rules, the winners...
paucityluxuriance asked: One of the buttons when you are writing a post looks like two papers with a line in the middle. using that makes your post into one of those "read more" ones. So, you can hide your huge blocks of text if they bother you. I don't really mind all the techy stuff, really. Bet most of the ones who follow you don't either.

News and Such! Yay!
Personal log, star-date whatever today is: Today started pretty normally, then got messed up fast. For instance, there’s been a sign taped to the door outside of my first class for a while that says another class had moved to another room. On that sign I found a really interesting message written today, it basically went like this “*the name of the university here* Bucks!”. I...
