Need a few good....people.

I am asking for the unqualified and those without a clue, to aid me in my blogging. Any person that wishes to help me please contact me via 1 or all of the email addresses to the right. I want some fresh blood, in a non literal sense of course. (I gave that up a while, jk). Anyway. My only qualification is no swearing. That is absolutely no foul language, except for words that I use. You can always ask if something is acceptable.

Anyway, just keep in mind what this thing is all about:

"I ramble on about something or other... People don't really pay attention to me.... We die..."

(This is what it says, (right now), to the top right of the screen).

Almost anything can be posted as long as, again, it is clean in nature.
Anyway, I hope to hear from someone, with in the near future.

Also, if chosen there is a good chance I will make fun of you often, possibly to the point where you may wish to kill yourself and/or me. Just so you know.

All went well....

Well it seems that everyone did what they needed to.

The shuttle went off without a hitch, or so it seems.

Tons of video to go through now, checking everything, but I am sure all went well.

Good to know, Great to see, Hope to see more....

An oddity I stumbled upon:
Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.

The words to the Original Star Trek Theme, never used...
I wonder why?? Not really, but anyway, back to real life now...

Pre Flight STS-114......Again

As I write this it is a little of 1h20m to launch and I hope to God it all works.

From NASA:

Mission: International Space Station Flight LF1
Shuttle: Discovery
Launch Pad: 39B
Launch: July 26, 2005
Landing: August 7, 2005
Duration: 12 days
Orbital Insertion Altitude: 122 nautical miles
Orbit Inclination: 51.60°

Space Shuttle Discovery is ready for liftoff atop Launch Pad 39B. Approximately 500,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and hydrogen now fill the vehicle's orange External Tank. The propellants will drive Discovery's three powerful main engines as the Space Shuttle rumbles into orbit. All systems aboard the ship are functioning normally and ready for launch.

Launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-114, NASA's Return to Flight mission, is set for today at 10:39 a.m. EDT.

The chance of Kennedy weather cooperating for the launch is now at 80 percent.

Bad luck? Baa Humbug...

I don't know why and/or how, but I break things a lot.

In the time span on 1 week, 7 days ladies and gentleman, I managed to fry 2 power supplies. And now I may not have my PC up and running until the 27th.

Now you may be wondering, "How did you manage to 'fry' two power supplies in the span of 1 week?" Well Let me tell you.

The first one was sort of just a weak power supply, sure it may have had 400W, but it only had 15A on the 12 volt rail, it was only a matter of time before it would fail me, it was extremely unstable. The 5v would frequently dip down to 4.75 and the 12v would frequently dip down to 11.3. Though my other PSU is only 200W and only had 11A on the 12 volt rail, it was much more stable. It never fluctuated more than .15 either way. I just happened to pull too much juice from the sucker.

Using my handy dandy multimeter, I found that absolutely no current was entering the molex connectors on the 400W PSU and it hissed when plugged in. That is it made a high pitched whining noise. Very disturbing. The 200W PSU, akwardly enough, gives me .4mV on the 12V line and 9.8mV on the 5V line, so I don't think that will ever start up again. Though I may have blown that one, I may not have fried it, I probably just killed the overvoltage protection and it won't start anymore because of that.

Anyway, I ordered a shiny new 460W PSU from where else, but Newegg. It was highly recommended by the moderators and my friends over at the Motherboards.org forums. Go Motherboards.org Folding Team 33258. Anyway, this new PSU is an Enermax and has +3.3V@35A; +5V@35A; -5V@1A; +12V@33A; -12V@1A; +5VSB@2.2A, so I should be able to power everything without any problems.

Well that is all for today, sorry for being so technical and boring, but who really reads this crap anyway? So until next time, don't do anything I would do, especially if it deal with your computer.

Turning a new leaf?

Now let me ask you a question.

Is it wrong to do something soley for money?

Though it may be benenficial to you, would you still only do it for the money?

I just don't know.

It doesn't sound like such a bad deal.

I just don't know.

Beam him up, God!

Well, If you don't already know, James Doohan, Star Trek's Scotty, has passed at the age of 85.


Quite sad a day this is.

How naive can one man get?

I mean seriously? How come I didn't realise it before. The sheer stupidity, of my own thoughts and actions, it is just so insane.

To think that something like that can happen, and not realise it. Oh the humanity.

I shudder to think what awful truth I shall uncover next.

I can't stand to think...

Fracking A!

WOW, that was one HELL OF A GOOD Scifi Friday!

Did anyone else watch? Come on, admit it. Fine, be that way....

Anyway, I was so, just, taken a back at everything.

Now for my two cents:

Personally I think Claudia Black will be great on SG-1.

Atlantis keeps doing these dead end scenarios and they pull something out of a hat and its fixed. It amazes me, every time.

AND FINALLY:

Battlestar Galactica, First is going to win an emmy, they got 4 nods I think. Second, What the hell is gonna happen? Well actually I know, I read some spoilers, but I want to see it unfold. OMG, this season is going to rock!!

SCI-FI FRIDAY (SHAMELESS PLUG)

OH YEAH! IT IS BACK!!

SG-1
ATLANTIS
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

WATCH: Starting 8/7C

IT'S GONNA BE GOOD!

okay, good I can stop yelling now....
anyway, watch it, ok.

Scrubbed?!?

OH well. Just have to wait a little longer. Annoys me so...

Pre Flight STS-114

If you can: WATCH THE SHUTTLE'S RETURN TO FLIGHT on any reputable news network, possibly even Fox News, or check out Nasa's website.

What could be more appropriate?: (And please check out the link in the title GOOD SHTUFF!)

She packed my bags last night
Pre-flight
Zero hour
Nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then

I miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a time-less flight

And I think it's gonna be
A long long time
'Til touchdown brings me
Round again to find
I'm not the man
They think I am at home
Oh,
No
No
No
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here
Alone

Mars ain't the kind of place
To raise your kids
In fact
It's cold as hell
And there's no one there
To raise them if you did

And all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job
Five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man

And I think it's gonna be
A long long time
'Til touchdown brings me
Round again to find
I'm not the man
They think I am at home
Oh,
No
No
No
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here
Alone

Why so much complaining?

I mean seriously? All those people (check title link) do is whine and complain. Not that their counterparts are much different. Though it makes me sick to see that this is all they waste their time with.

Seriously, the whole political process of this country has become so bitter and disgusting. I just wish for once they could remember that they are people themselves and can be easily replaced. They preach from their pulpits like Gods and think all is well. It isn't. It gets me so steamed.

Anyway, just because I haven't done it in a while a song:

Is this the real life-

Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a poor boy,I need no sympathy-
Because I'm easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he's dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn't mean to make you cry-
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-I've got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the Fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,Galileo,
Galileo Galileo
Galileo figaro-Magnifico-
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
He's just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! No-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-Can't do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows...

Poor ol' Cavendish

It seems the banana is ill. We may only have a few more years with the current staple, but what do I know. Maybe they will genetically modify it to make it immune to the disease. Just thought you should know.

Terror

What can you really say? I dunno, not a good thing though.

Well, it happened again, but really the news sensationalizes this crap too much. I mean MY GOD! You can say stuff, but then not talking about anything else all toghether is too much.

There are other things happening in the world you know.

And then there are people who say things that are so racially insensitive and disgusting that it makes me want to do horrific things to them.

Anyway, that is my shtick, sorry no song, still...

Your mother is a whore, Trebek.

This is a shameless plug, but a good one none the less. If you like SNL clips and want to relive some of those hilarious moments go to the link in the title.

They have Celebrity Jeopardy, The Ambiguously Gay Duo, and many more...

So funny....

Go...

Have a god 4th of July by the way, and if you aren't American....well you know exactly what I mean right now don't you. (that is I am German myself). Anyway, Ciao...

About that....

How about that.... hmmm....

Well, for those who know, and those who don't know... I have been sending "fake" emails to you telling you about the blog.

Obviously some of you realised this and others did not.

What is wrong w/ you? Like the FBI would ever send you a real email.

Think about it. Now I on the other hand do apologize, because I got an email from the company I used saying they no longer want me to send messages with the FBI as the sender.

Anyway.... now we can all look back at this an laugh....

Ha HA HAA HAAA HAAAA....LOL....ROFLOL.....ROFLMAO....okay that is enough...back to work everyone

I'm so very tired. It's almost all the time now.
