My Video Card Just Died

February 7th, 2010

God damn! My HIS 4870 just died on me and I can’t fax the RMA form since it’s Sunday right now and I can only do it on a specific day! Gah. I hope HIS gives me a working one a.s.a.p. since I need my desktop to review games. Sigh…I’m posting on my netbook right now.

ADSDAQ 2010 Sucks

February 2nd, 2010

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve changed Ad Networks and I’ve always stayed with ADSDAQ since I can set a high CPM and still get a good fill rate. But lately, my websites have been bombarded with weight loss/teeth whitening ads and trust me on what I am going to say right now…they’re scams. I mean seriously? Come on. Not only are they scams but the ads look so ugly. It’s time to move on…

“libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work” Error

January 29th, 2010

Here’s another error I encountered (I forgot where and when). The problem was that I had the x86_64 or 64 bit version. I fixed it by installing the i386 or 32 bit version as well.

[root@leaf01 ~]# yum install libgcc
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package libgcc-4.3.2-7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[root@leaf01 ~]# yum install libgcc-4.3.2-7.i386

“You’ve run a full marathon with Nike+”

January 24th, 2010

Ooooh yeah baby. Look at my first run, it was a measly .78 miles. I’m doing a constant 5 miles now and the current improvement that I want to do is to make my pacing better. AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGAAAAA. I just want to run guys…that’s all I want to do now on my spare time. Parties? Get out of here. Slacking? Not a chance. Beer? No way. Smoking? Hell no. Drugs? Are you kidding me? I can safely say that I’m slowly getting there.

First Run

January 9th, 2010

I am not a runner…yet. I will be in a couple of months.

Just how fragmented my HDD is?

January 2nd, 2010

I got a free license for O&O’s Defrag 10 Pro last year and I intend to use it! I’ve always had this perception that for Vista…’home users’ shouldn’t worry too much about fragmentation since Vista does a good job about it. Here’s O&O’s 1st test.

It Took Me 10 Years to Move On to CSS

December 10th, 2009

Yes, it took me 10 years to move on from Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero to Counter-Strike: Source. Why? Because even though I have CSS on one of my older Steam accounts (2003) and I don’t really like using it. Why?! Why don’t I like using an older account and hence having a ultra low SteamID as compared to today’s higher SteamIDs? Well I don’t like the username I used on that one, hahaha. Yes that’s the only reason. Plus most of the newer games that I’ve bought are on my slightly older account (2006). I like TF2 and CSS to belong to one account (Probably another reason for my OCD of some sort). So yes my folks! It’s time for me to move on…

Proud Legit FRAPS Owner

That’s right pirate scums! I’m a proud legit FRAPS owner! Wuhoo! I finally bought FRAPS once I saw that it can record your desktop. That means no more 3rd party apps, it’s just FRAPS now! You know how awesome that is? That means I could make a ton of tutorials now if I want. I’m $37 poorer now though, but still! Go me!

Google’s 2.0 Effect

December 3rd, 2009

Have you guys noticed lately that Google has a ‘new effect’ when you go to http://www.google.com/? The old homepage simply displays all links as fast as possible or upon load but this time…it feels web 2.0’sh. I like!

Little Experiment for the PGN Community

November 23rd, 2009

Ok, so I’ll be doing a little experiment…yesterday I started seeding version 4 of the PGN client for CS 1.6 and so far we have a steady line of 15-20 seeders and around 20-50 leechers at any given point. So why am I doing this? Why not just let the users download the client off the website this way they get to go to the website and see the advertisements and all. Well I guess making them go to the website and download the client (version 1) ‘was’ a good idea. But seeding the client is better…and here’s why.

“Failed (upload aborted)” on YouTube Right Now

November 22nd, 2009

Looks like I’m not the only one with uploading problems right now in YouTube. And damn! I have a ton of new gameplay videos to upload for PGN! Maybe it has something to do with YouTube’s new 1080p feature. All I can say is…finally! At least I don’t have to resize the videos now and this gives me that extra “reasoning” to buy a new monitor, hehehe.

My AMX Bans Isn’t Like Your AMX Bans

November 16th, 2009

Many game server admins are asking me why is it that the AMX Bans that I’m using is different from their AMX Bans and the new AMX Bans Reloaded. Well the simple answer is even though we basically have the same AMX Bans at its core, the front-end (website) part of our AMX Bans is pretty different especially if you take into account the different enhancements that Luis (SquarePants) and I did to it. And as far as I’m concerned, you can call it pretty much a fork of AMX Bans.

Google Wave

Thanks to bbranigin from [H] I was able to get in Google’s new web service called Google Wave! I’m so excited to test this new web service from Google since I find myself moving more and more to the cloud from both Microsoft and Google.

JavaScript Benchmark: Google Chrome vs Mozilla Firefox vs Internet Explorer 8

November 15th, 2009

I’ve been wanting to try Chrome ever since it was released but I was hesitant because I got used to Firefox’s (awesome) extensions. But since there are a couple of Chrome extensions now I decided to try it out.

Before I installed Chrome though, I google’d for benchmarks where Chrome is pitted against other popular browsers like FireFox, Internet Explorer 8, Opera, Safari, et al. Most of the benchmarks focus on how Chrome handles Javascript so I decided to try one of these online benchmarks myself. And here are the results…

8 Site Links For JoinPGN!

October 20th, 2009

Yes! Finally! I JoinPGN.com get’s to have 8 sitelinks! I remember the first time my website had site links. I was happy about it but I was a bit disappointed because of how the site links were generated because it did not have the forum link. So I did a couple more rounds of SEO and then bam! I checked the SERP today and look what I found!
