I have spent a little under twelve hours over the past three days beta testing Star Trek Online. It has been a very interesting experience to say the least, with its ups and of course downs as well.
This is Gidon, a Trill male Federation Lieutenant (and should I muster more time to play, maybe even a Lieutenant Commander one day). Want to know more about his adventures in Star Trek Online beta? Read on. More
Good god, this is just so typical television. I mean what the hell? Seriously, just kill me now.
Sir Ridley Scott? Yes you, how could you let something like this take place? How?!
Here’s a short video from Scofield Editorial which is about how some clients behave to freelancers (and others) transposed into other situations.
Personally I’ve experienced all of these already. So one has to wonder why they think they can do it to us, but not at say restaurants, hair dressers, or movie rental places.
What about you? Have you experienced such behavior from your clients as well?
Few months ago MaximumPC published a list of 9 Skills Every Nerd Needs. Soon thereafter Gizmodo posted their list which had 50 skills that every geek should have. And of course, this made them feel all womanly, to be one-upped by Gizmodo.
So they have come out with their own list of 50 Skills Every Real Geek Should Have.
Why Checklist in the title? Because I want to see how many of those things I’ve done/can do. And maybe even update it from time to time, if I don’t get all lazy again and start doing something else, which seems to happen quite often lately. Without further ado, let us begin! More
As I already informed the world yesterday, my 3D card crapped out on my main PC. So I was basically more or less forced to buy a new 3D card, and while I was at it, I also picked up two 1024MB ram sticks, and a present for my brother. Totaling for almost 400 EUR, which is basically the X-Box 360 price. So a forced PC upgrade instead of buying an X-Box 360.
I don’t know yet if it’s for the better or for worse actually. On one hand side I really wanted to get an X-Box 360, if only for Mass Effect (no, I’m not one of those people who have to have an X-Box 360 for Halo, because quite frankly I don’t even like Halo). But on the other hand side, these new PC upgrades should mean I that I should be able to play Crysis, and other hardware hungry game titles that are coming out soon.
Oh yeah, before I forget, anyone interested in two 512MB matched sticks of DDR RAM? If not, I can just always keep them in my PC for nice 3GB of RAM.
