FC 2010!

2009-12-11T01:38:24Z

So, instead of taking two full weeks off unpaid over Christmas shutdown, I ker-wrangled working six of the ten days, and two of them are paid holidays anyway. So what does this mean? I'm going to be able to take the time off to go to FC again this year.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to go for a week and a half like last time, just Thu (or Wed., am debating) till Mon., but I'm going!
Still need to find a room (several prospects, so I'm not too worried) but I do need to figure out how to get from the airport to the hotel, and such, since it's not 'attached' anymore.

So! Who's going? Who can get me to and from the airport? :3

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 just realized I'm going to another con this year - an -anime- con no less. Gah! And MFF is only a month after :)

At Anthrocon!

2009-07-03T02:01:55Z

I'm at AC, in the Westin. Room 1901! Message me if you need my phone number or somesuch :3

Anthrocon!

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!

Will It Blend panel

I've mixed together and uploaded my video of the Will It Blend panel from Sunday.

Netflix

2009-04-14T01:18:37Z

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

2009-04-13T03:10:54Z

So, since I was laid off for the past week, I decided to take a trip to Philadelphia, to visit 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)

2009-03-17T00:03:12Z

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.

Looking for a room at AC!

2009-01-28T02:16:10Z

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

2009-01-27T06:53:01Z

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

FC09 Room

2009-01-23T03:27:03Z

I'm at FC, finally! I has silly roommates :3
I'm in room 758 for Thursday and Friday. See everyone there! :3

Off to California & FC

2009-01-15T04:39:52Z

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

2009-01-09T00:50:15Z

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)

2008-12-15T22:46:17Z

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.

Work and FC

2008-12-12T04:46:36Z

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 testing out an LJ app for my iPod Touch. Not too bad.

iPhone development help

2008-12-02T04:31:39Z

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

2008-11-26T02:57:20Z

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.

At MFF!

2008-11-20T22:38:33Z

I'm at MFF. Yay!
Find me!

I swear

2008-11-17T23:13:26Z

I swear I'm not managing a room for a con again >.> I've lost two roommates in the past week, and fortunately made up for one. Ugh :P

Use Firefox and FurAffinity? Try FurAffinity Extender!

2008-11-13T21:59:08Z

It's been a long time since I started the project, but finally, my Firefox extension, has gone public. What does that mean for you? That means anyone who uses Firefox, can install the extension from addons.mozilla.org without having to be signed up! So I can finally get my extension to the masses.

What does FurAffinity Extender do?
* Adds a download button to image pages
* Adds an 'open folder' link to image pages to open the folder it's saved to
* Adds an open gallery or submissions page in tabs link to open up all images in a gallery or submission page at once (with optional delay to avoid timeouts)

There's more features to come, I've been busy with work and school but I keep making sure FA's site changes and Firefox upgrades don't break the extension.

Interested? Download it from the Firefox Add-ons site, or, from inside Firefox 3, go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons and search for "FurAffinity Extender"!
If you're curious how to use it, there's a tutorial at the project's webpage.

If you find a bug, please file a bug report! The link is available from the project site. And if you use it, tell your friends!

Twitter

2008-10-22T05:00:44Z

I finally started using Twitter. I don't expect to post to it much but I figured I ought to subscribe so I can keep track of stuff with it easier.

Also, I'm on FriendFeed (which I forgot about until just now)

MFF - Need a fourth roommate, and more

2008-10-21T05:40:04Z

So, I'm back to looking for a fourth roommate. It's looking a little late in the game but it never hurts to try.
Also, if anyone in the lower Michigan area needs a ride to the con, I'm driving by myself at this point.
And.. who here that reads my LJ is going? Just curious, so I don't miss anyone like I did at AC!
