Where Do You See Yourself Twenty Nine Weeks from Now?

It's a little funnier when you try to predict what you would be doing slightly over half a year from now. Where do I see myself 29 weeks from now? What would I be doing? 1. Playing GTA4, Halo 3, Devil May Cry 4 (I hope) and many other games (here's hoping for a Starcraft 2 beta leak :P).

2. Completing several assignments that will probably be due while preparing myself for several midterms that should be coming too.

3. I will probably be sleeping a lot too while doing nothing.

4. I should have applied for some jobs and stuff that'll could alter my future from then on.

5. I might know what I'm going to do for the rest of my life by then.

The Abandoned Blog

Heh. I've had to run around quite a bit over the last week over some red tape, rules and regulations and so on over the past few weeks. I got pretty worried so I sort of abandoned the blog for quite a while. What did I run around about? Plenty of things. Somehow, all this worrying and stuff also brought back a few less than desirable alterations to reality. For one, several of my old abilities are slowly returning, some wanted (like my 6-hour sleep pattern) and some unwanted (like my ability to game for hours on end without stopping).

I'm probably not very suited to blogging, what with my sparse updates and all, plus there's actually a lot more less believable rubbish I'd actually like to put here, but I believe it is in my best interests to keep them to myself. Sadly, that also means quite an amount of self censorship, and a lot less for you to read.

At some point, I suppose this blog will die permanently, but I'm quite fond of keeping it around for a long time. It sure as hell is going to be around for quite a long time.

(I think my brain is slowly regaining what it used to have 5 years ago, but hopefully not at the same cost as it was 5 years ago.)

Eight Simple Things - cfgt version

I decided to tag along chewxy's tag.

THE RULES 1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 3. People who are tagged write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. 4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Random Facts about cfgt: 1. I have no issues remembering 10-digit hexadecimal numbers, what the price of an XBox 360 Controller is in Myer Melbourne or how much it costs to buy 30 cans of Coke Zero from Safeway. However, I cannot for the life of me, remember to take out the garbage.

2. I have a habit of getting things to do things the manufacturer's had intention of me doing. Softmodding my XBox, replacing the hard drive on my XBox, replacing the firmware on my PSP, realigning my PS2 laser, and running homebrew on my Wii - this also entails that I happen to open plenty of the stuff I own, from keyboards and mice to entire gaming consoles.

3. I believe I have the capability to warp small bits of reality to my liking, although so far it's been really small bits. T_T

4. I love Coke Zero.

5. I have a habit of collecting mice, keyboards, trackballs and miscellaneous computer input devices. I happen to use all of them some time or another, including getting Wii controllers to work with my PowerBook.

6. My PowerBook owns your Windows PC for everyday life any fine day. And it's going to pwn even harder when Mac OS X Leopard comes out. :P

7. I'm addicted to Lucky Star. Konata FTW!!!

8. I have a Windows PC borrowed from a friend, a PowerBook laptop for myself, a set of Logitech speakers, a Microsoft XBox hacked to run Linux, and two keyboards, two mice,... (the list would take a pretty long time, so I'll truncate it here.)

I don't have 8 people to tag and I'm just doing this for fun. :D

It Is a Sad Day for PSP Homebrew

Nothing much to talk about I suppose. A great developer has left the PSP homebrew development scene. Being quite the avid PSP homebrew user, this is quite a piece of news. Excerpt from Dark_AleX's website:

Bye, scene.

I've decided to cease OE development, and leave PSP scene. The reasons are various. One of them is the time it consumes, which i'm losing from other things. The other is related to my security. I didn't like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers. I think it is better to leave now rather than end paying the consequences.

And so, the next stage of the cycle has begun.
