It not everyday I blog about personal issues or conversations I've had. Most of the things I bring up are business or tech related as I try to maintain that fine line between my personal life and what I care to share. However I had an interesting conversation at the bar the other night with a friend of a friend. The conversation was related to relationships and how most men and women are looking

During the normal course of browsing this week I ended up stumbling across this post. The post goes on to explain one companies struggles and how they recently took Venture Capital money despite the fact that 75% of CEO's are forced out of their own company at some point by these Venture Capital companies. In any event it got me to thinking and I figured I'd post my thoughts for you all to

First off, I know it's been quite a long time since I've posted to this blog but that's about to change as I have integrated this blog with my new website GameGamer43.com. Now a lot has changed since I last posted a story to this blog so I'll give you some quick bullet points below: Relationships have come and goneI've worked for HSBC Bank as an Internet Banking Customer Service Rep, E-Mail

Well if your not one to want to read someone ranting and raving, I'm warning you know that this may be what this post turns into. Anyways, seeing as it's my birthday and all a recieved a pre-paid gift card issued by Citizens Bank from a relative. Great, as I've had past experiences with pre-paid gift card, especially ones that are usable just like a regular credit card and can thus be used

Here is the first article in a series of many more to come based on "Running a Business Is Not As Easy as it's Made Out to Be!"Originally when people create businesses they don't just jump out of nowhere and say, I'm making a business today? Well for most of us it's not that easy. In this article I plan to explore the ups and downs of creating a business and breifly touch upon the planning it

Ok, I know that this isn't exactly the post I promised to write next but that post, isn't quite finished yet. So without further ado, I bring to you this post....Ok, enough with the fun and games and on to the content. Well my old 1.67 AMD machine has been with me for quite a while and I figured it's about 5 years old and time for an upgrade. So I went to Newegg to browse around and ended up

Well, not too much has happened lately. I have added Google Adsense to RockyRoad Entertainment's website just for fun. I'm pretty sure that RockyRoad Entertainment won't get a lot of revenue through Google's Adsense program but I guess we will see. In fact I've had this on the RockyRoad Entertainment website for at least a couple of month now, as well as Google Analytics. And suprisingly the site

Ok, well back when I ordered ViaTalk Service I was given a free Linksys PAP2 for being a beta tester of the service (basically, all we did was get everything before it launched, we still had to pay for it and all although I got like 2 1/2 months for free for doing it). Anyways when I received the package a while back, I noticed that the box the VoIP adapter came in said Linksys PAP2-NA. And after

For those who don't know, I will be attending my second semester at Erie Community College - North Campus starting on January 23rd, 2006. During my first semester I had no gripes or complaints other than the fact that some of my teachers who will remain unnamed, lacked the knowledge of the course material and was clearly not prepared to teach the class in which they were assigned to teach. But of

After two years of having Verizon Wireless out here in the Alden area I've made the switch and it couldn't come at a better time. My contract with Verizon Wireless ends on January 17th, 2006 so instead of renewing it I decided to try Cingular Wireless out one more time. I previously tried it when it first rolled out service in 2000 and was less than impressed. Back than I had dropped calls in

Well it's been a long time since I posted here, so I figured I'd give everyone an update. The past few months have been somewhat a RockyRoad. I left the Erie County Home where I was working due to problems with their management. And have been unemployed. Recently I was hired at GameStop in the Eastern Hills Mall where I am a Seasonal Sales Associate. On another note for all of you that have been

Well I've been having some problems with Mozilla FireFox lately wanting to print out websites to my printer. So what did I do? Of course, being me I uninstalled FireFox all the extensions and installed Deer Park Alpha 2 with the minimize to tray and sessionsaver rewrite extensions. To my amazement after taking time to get everything setup correctly, it very stable. So far it hasn't crashed once

Ok, so of course as you all know my wireless keyboard and mouse came into today. I must say I was impressed, as the product was suppose to be OEM but came with everything. This included the keyboard, mouse, reciever, instruction booklet and even batteries. Although it did come in a box label that it should only be given out with new computers. But other than that it works flawlessly and is a

Well, I must say the plan is forging ahead to start RockyRoad Entertainment as a game development company specializing in porting applications to Mac OS X and Linux. Dave and I have decided that we are both buying Mac Minis as soon as the money is available. Which for me mean that I'll have one by the end of next week or it will at least be ordered. And since the Mac Mini is the headless Mac I

Well, a lot has been going on lately at RockyRoad Entertainment. So of course it's a little past spring, but I began my spring cleaning. So as you may or may not notice the Technology page and Partners page got cleaned up a bit. Here are some of the links that didn't make the cut:Nutch ClustyKodersSourceforgeSkypeOther than that Dave and I have been doing a lot of talking lately and it may be

Well, I did it again! I added another piece of equipment to my Computer Arsenal. This time being the much needed Printer. I decided I look at PriceWatch first and it turned out to be a great decision. I found a LexMark Z515 Inkjet Printer with a USB Cable (not including Ink Cartridges) for $20.99 from a company called Legend Micro. At first I was skeptical and then I did my research on the

Well after ordering my Hauppauge WINTV-GO TV Tuner/ Video Capture (OEM) from TigerDirect on Monday using the $10 Ground Shipping Option, I finally Received it today. Having never delt with TigerDirect before, mainly due to my love for NewEgg, I have to say I'm quite pleased. Not only did my card come within 2 days after being shipped but it's packaging was superb. I don't think I could have done

While I was reading a funny article over at PCGameWorld I began to realise that this really is what the game industry is shaping up to be if it isn't already. The article while focusing on VU Games and Irrational Games follow-up to the Tribes Series; Tribes:Venegence, hits home on a lot of nessecary points. For the most part it's wrong that a publisher such as VU Games would publish a product and

Well I figured I'd update you all on the canges that will be happening to this Blog VERY soon. First off, I must say that the Yahoo banner will be getting replace (somewhere in the near future, hopefully). TextAmerica's Moblog will be phased out as I will phase in Mafia, an opensource Moblog, to which I will be trying to contribute to. Plus I will be restructing the links on the side. It seems

Long time no post. That is mainly due to the fact of school, work, and hanging out with my wonderful girlfriend. So whats happened in the past few week? Quite a bit! First off, I finally got my AT&T 6800G Router to function as a Wireless Access Point. Why and how did I do that? First off, if you look at the pricing for a router and wireless access point, you'll see that access points run about $

Ok, so the title is a little off. I guess the two don't have anything in common but it caught your attention didn't it? Anyways the past month has been a very busy one. I got ahold of a new Delphi Roady 2 to get my daily dose of Opie (Gregg Hughes) and Anthony on XM's Satellite Radio Service. I must say that it's great. It was easy to hook up and within two days I found myself buying the home

For those of you who don't know, I'm the founding father of RockyRoad Ent. and SecretOp Studios. After almost two years of envisioning a product RockyRoad Entertainment has finally decided to forge ahead and get some work done on it. The title comes as no suprise to those who may know me. It is a simulated sports title involving my favorite sport hockey. The game which has yet to really enter

It has come to my attention that a new internet game has just been released on the internet. This game although is not your oridinary game but instead comes to the shock of may. In this game you try to recreate the assination of JFK. I don't know about you but I certainly won't be playing this and really hope that the family does something about this, as these people need to be stopped. More on

Well the girl I have known for a while might finally be breaking up with her boyfriend. I know this might not be good to say but because of this I see it as my chance to go out with her. So in all I think after a year and a half I may finally ask her the one question that I've been afraid to ask. Wish me luck!
