All Things

That Taste

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 02:12:00 +0000

Take a deep breath.

Let it out slow.

I realized something today. That we're all interconnected, and I mean really interconnected. Just look at the beauty of something so simple, the sky. I was walking my dog in the country today, something I haven't done in a long time, since I moved from home, and I realized.. just how at peace I felt, how happy, how I didn't have a care in the world. When was the last time you felt like that?

Take a deep breath.

Here's some things that have been annoying me lately.

EVERYONE should have their own political opinions. for example, mine is that bush should be cast out of office.

Everyone, should have the right for their own religion, You're not going to hell just because you're an atheist.

Nope Not gonna post it!

Midnight oil...

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Fri, 04 May 2007 05:12:00 +0000

Burning that midnight oil. I have 10 papers due for psyche 213 tomorrow(later today more correctly). Taking a break from it so I can write this... 1:12 Am and I'm not nearly done.

Thats what I get for slacking off...

Lifes pretty darn good, got my canon digital rebel XTi finally.

http://yial.deviantart.com (check out my pics there, I'm not very good.)

Doing some research on lens, I own a Tamron 70-300 macro zoom and the standard... Considering buying the ef 50 MM F 1.8 for "low-light" work. After all it's only $75.

Looking at this new "cap" powered airsoft gun.

http://www.kapowwe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=m4-cap-airsoft-rifle&Category_Code=&Store_Code=R

It's really cheap but 3rd party reviews say it actually shoot's at that high of an FPS... Gonna buy it as a fun item.

I also am buying a leather messenger bag on ebay, gonna fill it with memory foam and make a custom camera bag with it. I'll post a "walk through" and pics when I'm done.

AIRSOFT! (again)

Working on my Samurai Edge custom mod. (can't post much at the moment as I'm lazy about it and don't post pics, not to mention that the one piece killed my drill press... (and it almost killed me, I went to fast and the drill bit snapped.... it's still embedded in the wall.)

FAMAS project is not going to well, but it on hold, trying to track down a GITS conversion kit by Poseidon.

P90, semi-auto return spring broke... so If I'm firing up-hill I can't stop untill I aim the gun towards the ground..... pretty funny if you get a surrender. I can fix it in about 5 mins, but I'm too cheap/busy to go out and by the spring.

SCHOOL, (again.)

As some of you know, I'm involved with the SGA at my college. I'm now the president of the SGA, I ran and got elected. (YAY ^_^) I'll actually post some about what the SGA does...

Look me up on myspace for some more information... you should be able to find my profile pretty easily, it's public after all.

-Yial, out.

P.S. I'll keep you all posted about more interesting stuff in the future.

Solaris

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 02:24:00 +0000

Ah, once again I switch to yet another OS in my neverending search for the perfect server system. This time I tried Solaris having to burn 6 CD's before I could even install was slightly daunting (but considering my system burnt each one in about 60 seconds, it wasn't too bad) Labeling them all with lightscribe was what took some time (Hey, I have an HP workstation, gotta try out some of the features!)

Based on the screen shots the OS seems similar to most of the UNIX and LINUX OS's out there. With one key difference, this was orig. marketed for money.

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 19:35:00 +0000

Ah! The horrors of setting up Gentoo On a non-AMD 64 based computer thats 9 years old are many... TOO MANY. First off, it appears that the distro I want is not available for the type of PC I'm gonna be running off of (A old k6-2 550 MHZ processor with 2 8 GB HD's) It seems I may just get stuck running Ubuntu Server (as I am just using it for a server application...)

Currently, it seems to be...Interesting but as Gentoo is supposed to optimize itself for the system it seems that it would be the better choice.

Overclocking Compaq Presario 5441

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 21:02:00 +0000

Okay, I have an old Compaq Presario, 5441 with a socket 7 type AMD k6-2+ processor @ 500 MHZ. Now last night I tried to overclock it (finally got it to 550 MHZ and the heat because of all the dust blew it up) Most of my overclocking settings put it betweem 300 and 475 MHZ or lowered the bus speed using the second setting.

leave the FSB setting at default for this. ( _ _ -- ) and set the processor setting to
- _ _ _ _ _ -- this will overclock it to 550 MHZ this is on a 05c4h motherboard.
logically, setting it to -_ _ _ _- - - will set it to 600 MHZ. NOTE I am not responsible for any damage this may cause; remember this blew my processor.

the default settings on my motherboard for 500 MHZ are - - - _ - _ _ -

350MHZ is - - - _ - - - -
or

- - - _ _ - - -
or

- - - - - - - - all up

- - - - - _ _ - got me a no boot and windows bios error... possibly too high MHZ.

_ ------- No boot nothing

- - - - _ _ - - nothing

and many more combinations feel free to Email me with any questions.

Airsoft

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 22:02:00 +0000

Okay, as all of you know I'm really into airsoft.

Anyway, why I am in the process of modding my FAMAS, I'm also modding my Samurai Edge Custom Mod by TM, I am putting a threading barrel adapter on and adding a mock silencer (so it'll look coool!) anyway, I'll post pics as I update it.

Currently my FAMAS has:

Systema High-Speed Helical Gears

M120 spring Guarder

509MM mad bull tight bore barrel

Systema Aluminum Piston

Systema Bore-up piston head

and some other small stuff.

My P90 is STOCK

My Samurai Edge is in the process of being upgraded.

Also, I'm currently going nuts in my speech class so if I post some random stuff here....well it's the professors fault :P

Best Firefox plugins of all time.

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 19:17:00 +0000

Okay, we almost all use Firefox now, but most of us don't use plugins. Why? Because most of us don't know which ones to use. This is the list of plugins that I have found most valuable over the years why not infringing upon system performance (as some of the more graphical ones use too much RAM.)

Number one, if you don't have Firefox, get it.(there's a link to your right)

After that, lets start with Gspace and Gmail. Gspace is a plugin for firefox that allows the user to use his or her and Gmail account as an FTP server. It's great for storing all those embarassing baby photos, after all, you wouldn't want to lose them (plus, only you can access it.)
Also, Gmail allows you nearly 3GB of space and POP3 email access (which yahoo charges $20 a month for)

Next is UnPlug is a media download tool that allows you to "unplug" media. Best of all it allows you to download .swf(flash) files which most other programs charge $20 for that feature.

Another great little plug-in is Scrap Book This allows you to save an "image" of a webpage to your Harddrive it also allows you to download WHOLE websites (for those of you who want to take wikipedia with you.) it also takes the images and can be set to accept and download outside links.

There are many more important and great add-ons and plug-ins for firefox, these are just a couple, I will be updating this list periodically.

Stupid "Get Rich" Programs

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 17:36:00 +0000

In searching for blogging information (basically, how to set up and use one as my incompetence is over-whelming in that aspect) my google searches turn up more and more ads, for guess what, 'Get Rich' programs. Of course, they're all rip-offs and no one in their right mind woulf buy one (Though, I'm highly tempted to buy one that claimes to let you make $500 USD a day without doing anything.)

Why am I posting about something that annoys everyone? It's simply because it annoys everyone, you know, that guy who has his (smug) picture next to an eBook for only $49.99 don't you wanna just (not) buy that book? I know I sure do!

What I find really funny about this, is that these people actually make money selling something that rarely works if ever! It pisses me off.

Mission Statement

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 07:16:00 +0000

Why am I here? I am here to make this blog a for-runner for sites that give you information on all things that you may be interested in.

Whether it be fencing, airsoft, computers, software, gaming, xbox, snowboard, swordmaking and much more!

I do quality research on what I am interested it, whether it be where to find "hard to find" items, the newest tech, or classic and unique games!

I'm going to do this, for a long time, helping anyone and everyone to do what they want on the net. Even if it is finding manga, anime, and other media! This blog is for it all!

In search of a Classic Airsoft Pistol

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 06:20:00 +0000

Okay, as all my Airsoft buddies know I want a Marukoshi Sig p210 spring, and as such I've looked and put ads...everywhere I even went to EndoShoji but appear to have scared them off after I told them what gun I wanted.

The Marukoshi Sig P210 is a very old gun, thats hard to find, even searching google turns up very few results.

I emailed them asking if they could get me a Marukoshi Sig P210, and they replied with this:

"Dear Kieran H.(I removed my last name),

Thank you for choosing Endoshoji as your quality
on-line dealer.

We are not sure what item that you are looking for?
Replica model gun or airsoft type of Sig P210, Thanks.

If you has any questions, please feel free to contact
us and we will be happy to assist you.

Best Regards
Endoshoji sales department

EEndoshoji Inc. <>
Ewebsite: http://www.endoshoji.com/
Ee-mail: info@endoshoji.com"

I responded with

"Dear Endoshoji,

I am looking for the Marukoshi Sig P210, Spring airsoft gun (the push-cocking model from the '80's). Thanks.

-Kieran H."

Still, now a week and 1/2 later and still no reply, I just thought this was amusing and wanted to share.

My Links for Gaming!

noreply@blogger.com (Yial) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 05:05:00 +0000

Okay, I love gaming and some games are just amazing, but owning a quickly aging laptop makes it rather pointless for me to buy new games, so I have found playing freeware games to take up most of my time, whether it be for that 5 min break or hours on end, there are dozens of games I like. And sites.

The site I must say I check at least once a week is

www.gamehippo.com

this site is a must for any freeware gamer, containing many good games (sadly, I think it was better several yeas back..or maybe it was that I couldn't download most of the games as I had 56k then...)

At second place for freeware and other games that have been released for free is HOTU

http://www.the-underdogs.info/

Sadly, it's changed it URL several times and has now sunk into the background as a place to just find certain older-titles as it now has not been updated in one year today (at least not a large update, possible smaller titles have been added without the home-page changing?)
If I can "blame" any specific site for getting me into gaming, I would blame HOTU, it will always hold a "special place" in my heart.

My favorite game of all time to play in my spare time (shamefully, of course) is Madness Interactive. published by www.flecko.net this game can be played for hours or 5 minutes without getting bored... This is increased by the fact that there are -literally- hundreds of fan-made modifications for the game, check out matix rayne and madness v2 in your spare time after you get bored of the orig.

Also, if you wanna make some money easy, check out the link below.
