OS let down...and another day
Well lets start with my attempt to make another live flash drive with an operating system. I still have my ArtistX but ive tried to make and OS drive using Ubuntu Studio. Needless to say that didnt work out to well. Actually it didnt work at all. I downloaded it and followed the instructions just like i was suppose to and well it didnt work.
Well enough of that. I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. Here we had a great feast made by my mother. And we had my well socalled sister inlaw over with her kids and my niece. I really dont like one of her kids. Hes a pain in the fucking ass. Shoot him. LOL just kidden. Anyways. After we were done eating and Jinnefer had to take two of her kids to there dads house. And her oldest stayed. When she got back i pulled out my ps2 and we had some hella fun playing some games. First we played Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero 2, Then we had a bad ass tournament with Mortal Kombat Armegedon and then they all got tired of playing games so i pulled out madden10 and i was kicking some ass. Lots of fun
Then everybody decided to leave at around 5 and the day was over. And time to clean up. it was the best thanksgiving we have ever had.
Now for the robotics. My teach had recorded several videos of our robotics and he edited it to change the audio and transitions and all that and this is what he came up with.
And the last thing i finally got my check from my accident So now i got a $1400 check in my name and im getting paid from work today which is another $300+. So im going to do some christmas shoping. But what ever i end up using from that 1400 im going to have to replace it with my paychecks. Although i know i wont need all that money to repair my car. But i will make sure that i have it when i need it. There is one thing that i want to buy for my self that i know no one else will get me as a PSP package they have on sale at best buy for only $169. And it include a memory and a game and the charger of course. But i want to get it because orginally this set is $200. Well thats it for now so ill talk to you all later. So peace out.

ArtistX Is bad fucking ass
Well if any of you may have remember from a long time ago I had my computer setup to Dual Boot with a second open source operating system called Ubuuntu. Although It is not the best open source operating system out there it was cool. But there is one other that im absolutely insane about and that is the OS called ArtistX. This system is loaded with hundreds of and i do mean hundreds of media editing software. that are just insanely awesome. Ever since yesterday Ive only had the .3 version. But i spent the time in downloading the .7 version. The newest and greatest. And I love it. Now my downfall is that im not that good at makeing a live CD work. But ive done research and found on a site called distrowatch that i can install an entire operating system onto a flash drive and i can run it on any computer no matter where i take it. Just like a live CD but its on a flash drive and it will run alot fast. Now if you look on distrowatch these flash drives cost money. Now i dont want to spend money on a free operating system. So i did more research and i mean hours of research on how to manualy program my flash drive to make it a live operating system flash drive. And i came up with this site. boot from USB and scroll down to method number 6. I found that would be the easiest considered that im really good with using DOS....awwww good memories from those good old hacking days...any who...I decided to use this method. And guess what after i extracted my ISO image of ArtistX .7 onto my external HD. I did all the steps and i was done in around 20 minutes. Yes it was really quick and easy. Now i worn you if your interested in trying this stuff out make sure that you know the basics in working DOS. (command prompt) Because if you make one mistake it is possible that you will fuck up the entire flash drive that you are trying to configure. And there is a possibility that you may mess up the source where your pulling the ISO image from. Now after I was done i had to test it. So i did and it was fucking awesome. It loads up on my computer so much faster then my ArtistX .3 live DVD and the Ubuntu Live DVD, and my SLAX live DVD. I was shocked. I just cant believe how successfull this work came out.
Now lets take a breif break about my nerdy tech stuff. And this is all about the Chiefs Vs. Steelers game. And sorry warweasel. but i was betting for the chiefs. When it was half time the chiefs where way down. but when it came to the third quarter the score was tied. And i announced at work that im going to bet $10 that the chiefs will win. Anyone want to take me on. And so many people where going against me. And no one wanted to challenge me. But i finally got someone to challenge me in my bet and man it was tense. cause when it came to the fourth quarter steelers where 24 17. and man i was getting nervous. And then it came to the end tie and going into over time. Now at ab out 8 minutes left in the over time there a big pass that was intersepted. but i believe it was challenged or something and it was determined that it was incomplete because they had no control over the ball. That save me then the chiefs won by a fieldgoal. man i was jumpin in the air and going crazy. Now i know that it was only $10 but it was the fact that the Chiefs choke 90% of the time especially in this situation. And from what ive herd theyve hardly ever been able to beet the steelers. Well thats all my good news so ill talk to you later and now its time to get to work on my school work and mess with my new Flash Drive Operating system.

So much yet so little time
Well there has been so much stuff that has happened since my last post. But thats not to be expected because its been a long time. Im not going to go over everything but i am going to tell you about the past week or so. Lets start with school. In my robotics class I am now working on my final project and its going pretty good. Its a navigation robot that uses a ultra sonic sensor, Light sensor, Sound sensor, and a magnetic compass. Im programming it to navigate between two class room that has lots of obsticals but im programming it so that it will maintain its course going a certain direction such as East. Cuase with out that particular set up using the magnetic compass it will just choose any clear path no matter the direction. Heres a video of the basic programming of what i got so far. What it does is i run the programm it loads up and it waits for me to snap my fingers then it start it will go to the farthest object that is measured by the ultra sonic sensor then when it approaches the object within less then 10 inches it will stop back up turn the front wheels where the ultra sonic sensor is located you can see it in the picture. below the video.
Thats the basic with school The two most recent things thats happend is that i finally got a new bed and im working on getting my room picked up witch i havent cleaned for almost 2 years. The other thing is that I got hella fucking wasted at my girlfriends roommates birthday part. I even threw up on her bed and passed out twice. The first time i passed out got back up and had another bottle of beer. Heres what all i had. 4 coronas, 4 fuzzy navel wine coolers, 2 jello shots, 4 shots of tequila, and a crazy watermellon mixed fruity drink thats made with vodka and some other stuff, And last but not least i had 2 Bud Light Lime. I got so messed up. LOL. Heres a picture of me and my girlfriend....her name is deborah.
And heres a picture of me and her roommate Ellaine...
Well thats all i feel like typing up theres so much that i just dont feel like taking the time but im going to try and post blogs more often.
So i guess ill talk to you all later so peace out homies.

It was short lived
Well I got my new phone yet again. Although i got it two days after i got my first one. No the other phone was not defected it was awesome. But no where near as perfect as the HTC Hero with google phone. This is my new phone it is fucking bad ass. There is only one down fall which is the battery. The coolest thing about this phone is that there are thousands of free apps and growing that are free. And not only are there free apps but there are free ringtones. Not so much as music ringtones but as in sounds. But there are free apps from goolge that will allow you to edit a mp3 on the phone to transform the mp3s into a ringtone. And theres another app that will take your mp3s and search for the title in an archive and make a duplicate of that ringtone based off of your mp3. Hopefully that makes since to you. I can go on forever on how much this phone kicks ass there is no other phone like it. Minus the Google phone with tmobile. But this is the exact same thing its just made by HTC but alot of the hardware is by google and all the software is by google. Well thats it time to get back to my phone and also get to class.
Oh yeah the last thing. This phone has a 5megapixel camera on it beat that bitches. LOL
