So tomorrow I'm going to my first non-furry con, which is going to be weird. Fortunately I know some people that will be there (mostly furries :P) as well as a few RL friends going with me. Hopefully it will be fun!

I haven't posted since FCN! So, since AC is approaching, I must ask. Who's coming? I need to fill out my list of people to run into!

| Netflix |
[13 Apr 2009|09:16pm] |
I subscribed to Netflix a little while ago, and am rather enjoying the abilility to rent Blu-Ray movies from them. It's funny, because at first I thought I'd get it and just watch Instant movies, but it turns out there's only a few on there I want to see, whereas most of my queue is avaliable on BD and not for Instant Viewing. But all the better for me, as video stores want $4/5 for a two night rental, and if I watch a movie on Netflix and send it right back, I'm playing ~$11/mo. for 6-8 movie rentals a month, and whatever I want to watch Instant on top of that. Sounds like a good deal to me!
Anyway. Anyone watching me on here on Netflix? I'd like to add some more people to my Friends so I can find other movies, and stuff.
Add me! (and give me your link so I can add you back!)

| Philadelphia: In and out |
[12 Apr 2009|11:07pm] |
So, since I was laid off for the past week, I decided to take a trip to Philadelphia, to visit ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jouva since he just moved back from Wisconsin. Had a rather nice drive, actually, despite it being about 12 hours each way, putting a total of like 1.6k miles on my car. Had a good week, saw giza and omnibahumut on Wednesday, and went down to Maryland Thursday to see ferian. Now I'm trying to put all my tweets on a Google Map to see how I did timewise.. but I can't find a location of all the tunnels on I-76 in PA :(

| Year in Review (er, 2009, so far) |
[16 Mar 2009|08:00pm] |
So quite a bit has happened so far, I guess. I got a new laptop (Eee PC 1000H), a new phone and my own phone service (HTC Fuze on AT&T), and started my co-op job full time. Everything is working well so far.
I'm most likely going to Wisconsin over a week layoff period in April, I'm going to FCN a couple weeks after, and since we already have work off due to plant shutdown, I want to go to AC if I can find someone to stay with. MFF is also likely, as is FC next year.
Not too bad, so far.

[27 Jan 2009|09:11pm] |
I know either nobody who can help read these, or nobody reads my journals, but I figure I might as well ask anyway :P
I'm headed to AC this year, and for once I think I'm actually going to end up going by myself. So! I need a place to stay :3 I'm good, I swear!

| Back home from FC |

I'm finally back home from California and FC. FC was awesome, and I definitely want to go back next year!

I'm in room 758 for Thursday and Friday. See everyone there! :3

| Off to California & FC |
[14 Jan 2009|11:35pm] |
So I'm headed off to California! Yay. Where the weather isn't 4F. Out there for about a week and a half, including FC, then back to start my new job. Going to see a bunch of fuzzies while I'm out there, hope to have a good time and stuff. I think I have everything packed >.>
Flight leaves at 3pm, but the airport's two hours away, so I have quite a bit of traveling ahead of me.

|
| Looking for a phone |
[08 Jan 2009|07:06pm] |
So here I am, finishing my co-op position. Two weeks off (mostly going to be spent in California as vacation) then back to work in the same position, as a contractor. It's likely that I'm going to move out, and since I'm going to be able to afford it I'm going to get my own phone service.
I have a Motorola RAZR2 on Verizon right now, and it's not too bad (far better when flashed with alternate firmware rather than Verizon's own crap) but I want to consolidate some of my electronics, so I'm selling my iPAQ 111 (and probably my current phone, too) to get a proper smartphone.
Now, I've been wanting a smartphone for a long time, but now that I'm serious about it, I've been looking directly at plans. Finding a model isn't too big an issue, but the plans are. This is what I have so far:
| Service | Home coverage | Upstate coverage | Monthly costs | Phone | WANT rating | Phone cost |
|---|
| Verizon |
Great EVDO |
Decent 1x (good data roaming) |
$30 for data
+ $10 for 500 texts
= $40/mo (Family plan) |
HTC Touch Pro |
2/5 (VZW suckage as usual) |
$250 [Amazon] |
| Alltel |
EVDO |
Unknown, possibly all EVDO? (At least 1x) |
$70/mo for 500 minutes + my circle, and unlimited data
+ $8 for 400 texts
= $78/mo |
HTC Touch Pro |
2/5 (Too expensive) |
$280 [Direct] |
| AT&T |
Good EDGE |
Probably GPRS |
$40 for 450 minutes
+ $5 for 200 texts
+ $30 for data
= $75/mo |
HTC FUZE |
5/5 (The phooone) |
$99 [Amazon]
$200 [Work/AT&T] |
|
|
|
|
AT&T Tilt |
3/5 (not as nice as the FUZE) |
$-50 (you read that right) [Amazon] |
|
|
|
|
Developer G1 |
3/5 (Phone, but no 3G anywhere) |
$425 |
| Sprint |
EVDO |
No data coverage :( |
$70/mo for 450 minutes and unlimited data, txt, everything |
HTC Touch Pro |
4/5 (Plan and 3G is a plus) |
$250 [Amazon] |
|
|
|
|
Palm Pre |
4/5 (New and shiny) |
$? |
| T-mobile |
Spotty EDGE vs GPRS |
Probably none |
$40 for 300 minutes + myFaves
+ $25 for data and 400 texts
= $65/mo |
G1 |
4/5 (Phone, but not service) |
$180 [Amazon] |
I'm tempted to go with Sprint due to them being all-inclusive at $70, which is just about the going rate for only voice and data on other carriers. I don't like that there isn't much data coverage higher north, but I doubt I'll be traveling that way much anymore anyway. I'd like to get a G1 but T-mobile sucks around here.. so I'm kind of tossed up between a HTC Fuze on AT&T or (basically the same model) HTC Touch Pro on Sprint.

| California bound (Read: FC) |
[15 Dec 2008|05:46pm] |
So, I just booked my tickets to go to Cali, from Jan 15 to the 26th. Visiting some friends just in time to end the trip with FC! And as soon as I get home, I'll be starting my job as a full time employee instead of just a co-op student. Yay!
I do kinda need a room, though! Help would be appreciated.

Yay, I get to go full time with my current job! But I don't start till late January, so.. I'm going to FC over my "vacation" :3

I'm trying to develop for my iPod Touch. Does anyone know something about working with the Interface Designer in Xcode? I can't seem to wrap my head around it.

| MFF and iPod Touch |
[25 Nov 2008|09:56pm] |
Back from MFF! Not a whole lot to say about it, unfortunately, but it was nice meeting those that I got to run into. Photos are available on Flickr.
Also, Best Buy was selling 1st generation iPod Touches for $200.. so I got one :3 Will have to play around with it more.
