God dammit. I just spend 20 minutes dicking around and yelling at realtek drivers since my right front speaker wasn't working but then after a driver update it started working but everything else wasn't.
Uninstalled it all and threw in my old audigy2zs card, went to check the back of the speaker hub to see which coloured plugs went into front, rear, center / sub. Noticed the front plug was half sticking out.
Oh well D:

If you're so close to the office, why don't you walk or ride?
The wife is 3km from work, and she still drives daily. 2.6km if she'd walk or ride.
I have finally acquired a PS3, marking this as the first generation where I have had all three dueling competitors under one roof
Immediately traded in the included games for Vanquish and... uh... Hyperdimensional Neptunia for reasons I'm not really clear about other than the fact that SoTD is already on order.
Technically I guess I need a PSP but the Vita's so close now!

PSP. Haven't turned it on in ages.
Yeah, not worried about the Cats. Given that second place on the ladder is impossible to lose (and was so before this match), I'm guessing they were probably resting players (or not trying). I'm saying that not knowing anything about the match, but if their spot is secure then there's no harm in them taking it easy up to the finals.
Just bought a Lenovo laptop. Valued at $1100, but has a $300 cash back so it has a lot of value.
BUT two things which I'm annoyed at. No HDMI and no numpad. The latter I can live with but lacking HDMI?! Dissapointing
Has a i5 2540m which is apparently a very good CPU, though it also has a Intel HD 3000, so I guess no Dolphin emulation for me.

HDMI was one of my major wanted features of a laptop when replacing my old Eee 900. Thankfully I found out about the new AMD Fusion chipsets which all do hardware-decoding on high-def stuff and most have HDMI as well. It's like a portable media center with a screen!
Gotta do your research pretty thoroughly as far as laptops go. I had to get one imported from the 'States just to get an 11.6" that didn't have a fucking glossy screen.

Yeah, shouldn't have assumed HDMI is standard in laptops today. I mean, this thing has impressive hardware and an impressive screen, but it looks like a fair bit of corners were cut to make it so cheap. Ugly casing and not many ports.Shaneus said:
VGA to HDMI cables look pretty expensive too.
The Nerf thing I went to was really fun, and surprisingly tiring. We went to Knocklofty, which is a nature reserve a bit past West Hobart. We had about 14 guys show up, I think, and about twice that many guns. We played some CTF for a bit, which wore most of us out by the end because the two bases were quite a distance apart and the terrain between the two was pretty rough and hilly. I think we were all surprised nobody got seriously injured - a few falls and cuts, and a whole lot of possum poop on our clothes.
After CTF we played some regular death match, and to finish it off we did a Zombie game type. Being a public area, we did encounter a few other people who quickened their pace and averted their eyes when they saw this platoon of nerds with plastic guns running up and down the forest. One woman was walking down a path into the area we'd set up as a base - an abandoned shop or something. Once she saw the 5-6 of us defending the area, with guns set up all around the area, she turned right around and started walking the other way. That was kind of funny.
I recorded one of the final deathmatch games we had after I'd been taken out. It's super stupid and I didn't pay much attention to how well I was holding my phone.
General nerd stupidity
Probably spent a bit too much calling people today to keep contact with everyone, too.

Hmm, the ones with audio are also fairly expensive.Shaneus said:
Found this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Xtreamer...973?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa8fefc7d
I'll be willing to buy one < $100, but what I'm really considered about is the lag.

I support Geelong.
(because my house is on Geelong Road )
I used to support the Western Bulldogs first, because their stadium is right next to my house. But alas, the dogs never win.

Principal Skinner: Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouth-watering hamburgers.
Superintendant Chalmers: I thought we were having steamed clams.
Principal Skinner: Oh, no, I said, "steamed hams." That's what I call hamburgers.
Superintendant Chalmers: You call hamburgers steamed hams.
Principal Skinner: Yes, it's a regional dialect.
Superintendant Chalmers: Uh-huh. What region?
Principal Skinner: Uh, upstate New York.
Superintendant Chalmers: Really. Well, I'm from Utica and I never heard anyone the phrase, "steamed hams."
Principal Skinner: Oh, not in Utica, no; it's an Albany expression.
Superintendant Chalmers: I see.
[Chalmers takes a bite of the "steamed ham"]
Superintendant Chalmers: You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger.
Principal Skinner: Oh, no, patented Skinner Burgers. Old family recipe.
Superintendant Chalmers: For steamed hams.
Principal Skinner: Yes
Superintendant Chalmers: Yes, and you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled.

Geelong will drop out if finals. Woo! Engagement party!
Well shit. DreamSpark does not work with Melbourne Uni anymore. It's still registered, but it looks like DreamSpark is still looking for the old @ugrad.unimelb.edu.au email and not the new email address when they migrated other the summer. Getting an invalid email address erro...
