Now although my convention was the beginning of June, I didn't get to thoroughly enjoy certain portions of the Sunday program due to FNBS*.
Yesterday I had a second opportunity to check out the drama. I need to say how AMAZING the drama was and as an ADDED BONUS I knew almost EVERYONE in it! I took a lil' video and a lot of pics!

GREAT JOB!

superhero #240.1 superheroOG 2004

i want to be in a drama so bad

superhero #240.1.1 superheroOG 2004

i could be a young, muscular Moses

originalsnob #240.1.1.1 originalsnobOG 2004 informative

Hahaha! You totally could!

superhero superheroOG 2004

i have marked this post as "highly informative" since "flattering" was not an option

#240.1.1.2 alexOG 2001

more like a late twenties, doughy, judas iscariot.

forrestina #240.2 forrestinaOG 2002

Nice drama cast! I hope someone videotaped that.

originalsnob #240.2.1 originalsnobOG 2004

I think Tammy C. did, I was thinking I'd ask her for a copy. If I get my hands on it I'll try and pass it along.

fivezero #240.2.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

I taped the one at Turnersville last weekend. It was fun to do, but I felt weird doing it, even though I used my smallest camera and my smallest tripod.

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

This years and last years are the first time in a while that I haven't filmed the drama.
I've found it less disruptive to nix the accessories, get comfy, and just stick the camera in front of my face. The sister I mentioned is heavy into videography/cinematography but, she opted to just film it freehand.

englandkid englandkidOG 2003

yeah, but as long as no one asked you why you were recording it, you were probably ok

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

haing?

englandkid englandkidOG 2003

what does that mean?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

sound it out, lol. it just means "huh?" as in, 'i'm not sure what you mean' elaborate so that i understand.

englandkid englandkidOG 2003

i meant like since you got caught filming the flight attendant and she got mad at you....

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 englandkid

oh, haha! yeah. normally i'm not that slow. sorry.

originalsnob #239 originalsnobOG 2004

So I popped outside to get the mail a little while back and the door to my placed slammed shut behind me, needless to say it was super fun!
I have this one set of neighbors that always lounge outside so I asked them what we do if we get locked out.
Next thing I know, this dude picks my lock with a credit card. I've done the credit card lock picking before but, I was picking MY OWN lock back at home. Kind of awkward to know this dude could just pop in for a visit whenever he wants.

Haha only NOT =/

Right?

flomojopoanode #239.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

wow. That IS scary! Time to get a deadbolt!

iwz #239.2 iwz

hrm, not cool. Time to get a suitcase nuke!

superhero #238 superheroOG 2004

Ian, sorry about last night. I was on a date with my ex-girlfriend until late.

iwz #238.1 iwz

oh dude i totally forgot and fell asleep at like 9 o'clock anyway. didn't get your text until like 11.

superhero #238.1.1 superheroOG 2004

haha ok then i don't feel bad. Todd was too busy too. We still gotta set this up!

I'm going to ask all the little kids in the hall to find me other little kids in other halls who have it. I think Muffy has a friend named Nadapott (real name!) who has it.

fivezero #237 fivezeroOG 2003

made a quicky. i visited my cousins a couple weeks ago. They live like 4 blocks from the beach and instead of making good use of the summer weather they spent the afternoon watching fight videos on youtube. so, i made this to make fun of them.

juicymango #236 juicymangoOG 2003

Ugh kill me. The 12 year old side of me is kind of excited about this, haha.

originalsnob #236.2 originalsnobOG 2004

A part of me was psyched to because I was a 90210 fiend in my day AND Dylan was my husband so, yeah.

I heard the characters are gonna have the same names as the originals but, I don't quite get why they would do that or HOW they would since certain people will be making cameos.

originalsnob #235 originalsnobOG 2004

Does anyone know if there's a general hotline/800 number for Grisoft??? For whatever reason there seems to be a UK hotline ONLY

=(

Many thanks in advance!

¡Ciao!

iwz #235.1 iwz

what's the problem?

iwz #235.2 iwz

they only have email support.

superhero #235.3 superheroOG 2004

AVG 8.0 = not good

originalsnob #235.3.1 originalsnobOG 2004

What about AVG 7.5? It's been pretty good until now. All of the sudden I can't get my updates... and I see that updates are available. JERKS!

iwz #235.3.1.1 iwz

I believe 7.5 has been discontinued in favor of 8.0. You should upgrade.

And what's wrong with 8.0??

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

I just saw this!
It would've been nice Grisoft had told customers in the same fashion that the reminders harassed people when they were initially going to NIX free AVG. *breathing*

I backed up all of the important stuff that I need so, if it is absolutely necessary I will start from scratch.-last resort-

stuff like that aint even worth reading.

thefunkyfresh #233 thefunkyfreshFounder

New Song, maybe we'll get some audio or video of this up here soon -

"19"

So long going on, choosing not to feel
but a cold dose of reality has suddenly made this real
and it's not too cool
staring at a bloody pool
there's no going back now

no - they'll never get what they deserve
justice - will not be served
judgment - doesn't even feel worth it now

no explanation, no way to justify
no easy answer to a one word question - why?
and all that's left to see is a chair leg in an empty alley
my son, what have you done?

no - they'll never get what they deserve
justice - will not be served
judgment - doesn't even feel worth it now

Was it worth it,
Just to feel tough and important?
this isn't the playground anymore

no - they'll never get what they deserve
justice - will not be served
judgment - doesn't even feel worth it now

and their fathers have no wisdom,
they have no real hope to give them
and they'd all give anything for just one more minute with him
they have so many questions
they wonder - was it fate? or was it just wrong time, wrong place?

19 - what a waste.

iwz #233.1 iwz

can you post some happy lyrics now? kthx

thefunkyfresh #233.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder funny

k here they are -

I'm happy!! everything's great!
i have absolutely no problems and i just love life so much!
i have absolutely no heartache or feelings of self doubt,
and my mind is constantly giddy with happy thoughts!
your life may suck, but that's not my problem
cuz im just so overwhelmed with amazing awesomeness!

iwz #233.1.1.1 iwz

thanks, matt! 8D

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

i have it all ingrained in my memory i could record myself reciting it

*kidding

** my convention is next weekend

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

where's it at Jersey City or Turnersville, NJ or are you at Reading, PA?

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

Reading. We are actually going with our old district, so we will be there August 29-31

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

I figured that cos Doylestown was there one of the times we went out to Reading

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

Yep it was I think the first weekend of August

juicymango #230 juicymangoOG 2003

fivezero #229.1 fivezeroOG 2003

yeahhh! me and co-worker were brain storming this stuff 5 years ago with some 3-D architecture software and now i see it around a lot. really, really awesome stuff.

juicymango #228 juicymangoOG 2003

Western leaders engaged in intense diplomacy Friday to persuade Russia to pull troops out of Georgia, but regional tensions soared after a top Russian general warned that Poland could face attack over its missile defense deal with the United States.

OH NOEZZZ NOT POLAND

superhero #228.1 superheroOG 2004

i feel like i have a totally false sense of security, living where we do. ahhh the US will be fine, we just go about our lives, same as normal.

that means that if anything ever happened, it would be much, much, worse.

juicymango #228.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

yep. Katrina showed that already. The government will not help you, heh. Especially if you are poor and/or a minority.

But then again all those rich people's homes burned down in SoCal and no one did anything for them either.

B

Some people were jealous. that's why.

iwz #227.2 iwz

that's lame.

what happened to the old boss?

B
#227.2.1 brothermanOG 2004

He was moved to another division. this new guy doesn't like people working from home.

fivezero #226 fivezeroOG 2003

Figured some people who would wanna know...

Comedy Central's new Michael Showalter/Michael Ian Black pilot is titled “Michael and Michael Have Issues.” The duo previously worked together on "The State" and "Stella" and a million other things. The Hollywood Reporter describes the proposed series' premise: a half-hour project with segments addressing issues that the two men have with themselves, each other and the world at large.

When I came into work today, there was a Wendy's commercial shooting on location.
I walked right through wardrobe and make up to get to my office...the actors actually looked fairly bored.

juicymango #223.2.1 juicymangoOG 2003

well of course but jakey doesn't look too shabby, his muscles will distract from the terriblenss

ilikebirds #222 ilikebirdsOG 2002

maggie gypyslalawls definately looks like Donatello the ninja turtle if donatello the ninja turtle was 80 years old and had a cane.

juicymango #221 juicymangoOG 2003

oh wow really a commercial from the 80's that was on tv nonstop is too racy for redsweater?

alright

haha

fivezero #221.1 fivezeroOG 2003

well, it is "something real personal." lol

i also commented on how that word has had a major resurgence in recent years. it's pretty wild. who knew such a cleansing device could be taken as a dirty word?

juicymango #221.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

haha yeah

and the other commercials for it too are hilarious

theremin #221.1.2 thereminOG 2002

Reminds me of the time when I was explaining to Toga Tweeter Peter, that the German language in German is called Deutsch, and Germany is Deutschland and and then he got up in arms: "Deutsch? ...land? Deutsch? Isn't that a bad word!?"

superhero #221.1.2.1 superheroOG 2004

oh man what happened to that guy?

one day i was talking about him (in 2004) and Lauren says "my parents brought his parents into the truth" and i didn't believe her

theremin thereminOG 2002

I haven't a clue what happened to him.. I'm curious as well. Last thing I heard was he was gonna go to school but I forget for what and someone from Lincolnshire was coming over and was gonna be housemates with him.. Someone I happened to talk to online. Yeh, that's pretty amazing.. the bringing into the Truth thing. Small world. No idea about his whereabouts tho. Did a disappearing act. Seems like one day he just went cold turkey with eZabel.

iwz #221.2 iwz

sorry! not that's it's too racy, just a bit inappropriate. i'm a nazi, remember?

Last week, Cheye Calvo, mayor of Berwyn Heights, and his family found themselves unknowingly tangled in a marijuana smuggling ring — their home was stormed by plain clothed Prince George's County police who proceeded to shoot the family's beloved Labradors, Payton and Chase, dead.

No evidence of illegal activity was found at the mayor's home by police.

THIS STORY IS BEYOND UPSETTINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ugh

theremin #216.1 thereminOG 2002

Actually I can top that Mayor/Marijuana story with a... Mayor/Marijuana story.

originalsnob #216.2 originalsnobOG 2004

That is NOT cool. Even a formal apology wouldn't make up for that.
Did they make a statement after their findings or obvious lack of?
=(

forrestina #215 forrestinaOG 2002

I'm not trying to get customers for my job, but I wanted to let you guys know that we convert VHS to DVD ($19.95) and LP/Cassette to CD ($9.50). Might be useful if you have old things that haven't come out yet on current media or some sentimental family movies. However, the quality of what we produce is definitely not comparable with a digitally remastered anything.

superhero #214 superheroOG 2004

theremin #208 thereminOG 2002

If anyone knows...What are the Convention dates for Staten Island and New Brunswick (don't know if there's a NB Cong. but wherever they go to)?

superhero #208.1 superheroOG 2004

i think they already had it ...? that's just a guess but i think so.

theremin #208.1.1 thereminOG 2002

Thanks. Both had it?

superhero #207 superheroOG 2004

you guys ever run into copy protection when taping/DVR's something?

Lauren watches The Wendy Williams show ... and there is copy protection on it, so you can't record it (whether through the cable box or not - I tried both ways). The commercials before the show starts work fine, but then the show is garbled, blocky, and unwatchable. I called Cablevision about it, and they said the copy protection comes from the network, not them (I think this is a lie. I also think it's unfair that I shouldn't be able to tape something I'm not home to watch, yet I pay for.)

As a possible work around, I set the sleep timer on the TV before I left for work, so "the network" will think someone's watching TV, and let me record it. Maybe that will help.

juicymango #200 juicymangoOG 2003

fact

some people look like birds

flomojopoanode #200.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

I concur.

Sometimes people look like Sam Eagle from the Muppet Show.

Years ago, my friend Jarad and I went out in service with this girl who had been obsessed with me, and she brought her friend. Her friend was a super tall, super skinny blonde with a big schnoz. Needless to say, she quickly got the nickname Big Bird. I think she may have even been wearing tall, striped socks. I imagine her that way at least.

superhero #200.1.2 superheroOG 2004

I sincerely hope this is not my friend Stacy, who may somewhat fit this description but is an extremely nice, wonderful person.

forrestina #199.2 forrestinaOG 2002

I might have been upset about that in the 90s when a bunch of the 20 somethings in my congregation worked there and gave us free food.

thefunkyfresh #199.2.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

maybe that's why they went out of business

if that's the case, I wonder how Outback survived?

tesoro #199.3 tesoroOG 2001

Hm, i'm slightly upset about this. We don't have one nearby, but would usually go on the road if we saw one. The Monte Cristo is an amazingly sickening sandwhich.

forrestina #199.3.1 forrestinaOG 2002

the one in my town is always poppin. probably because it's the only chain restaurant aside from denny's. I don't like to go there too often because there are many ridiculous bar fights going down.

Yay and I are now the proud parents of a Bonjour Coffee Press and I am enjoying currently the most amazing cup of coffee ever

I have been wanting one for a while and I got reminded about it yesterday watching the movie Kicking and Screaming when Will Ferrell gets addicted to caffeine and in one part he says, in true Will Ferrell fashion, "Did you know that in Europe every home has a coffee press.. IN EVERY ROOM"

that movie is surprisingly kind of funny

fivezero #198.1 fivezeroOG 2003

strangely enough, i thought this was funny. my favorite line in the whole movie is one that i can't get anyone else to agree with me on. he's yelling at the kids and one of the moms says "hey! ease up on him!" and he yells back "you ease up... on that corduroy jacket!" i just completely fall apart. not sure why.

juicymango #198.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

yea we cracked up at that one

superhero #198.2 superheroOG 2004

i've had a french press for a while, and love it. I actually have two at home, and one for work that's a french press/starbucks travel mug. As a result of having two at home (one small and one large), our expensive coffee pot we were given as a gift when we got married is unused. We will give it away free to anyone that wants it!

For work, I bring ground coffee in a ziplock for my french press. I leave it on my desk sometimes, and people a lot of times think it's drugs. I can't wait for someone to tell HR about it - I'll have to get drug tested for coffee. haha. Good fun.

juicymango #198.2.1 juicymangoOG 2003

people think coffee grounds are drugs?? there are brown drugs? hmm something I did not know haha

Yay, new question..
Assuming you may be using Buzz on Vista, like me, and therefore may be using ASIO4ALL as well, what's an appropiate ASIO buffer size, you reckon?
I haven't a clue what's appropriate...I got to install ASIO4ALL just now, and made the buffer size 160 samples. If you're set up in the same situation... what's a good figure? Is 160 good, or too high or too low you think? Latency seems to be corrected now, but is this pushing the limits of my computer or can I push the limits further?

If you're set up in an entirely different way for your music.. sorry for all the questioning.

#196.1 brothermanOG 2004

Why don't you PM him with this nonsense... ;oP

theremin #196.1.1 thereminOG 2002

Because, it's an open question for anyone that happens to know. Only directed it to someone specific.. cuz I think he has experience with it. But anyone else could as well. Don't have to rip on everything I ever start a discussion about... or do you? I don't care if he answers or Zoe down the docks answers. Or maybe every now and then you can just as well ignore a musing instead of talking down to me on every little thing that I post, and that I happen to not think is nonsense. I can take a negative opinion here and there, and a bit of fun and a laugh... but where do you draw the line? I try to be respectful, please do the same for me. Thanks. All you had to do was glance at the post and move on if you're that bothered by it. Can't be that impossible for you, can it? I eventually worked this out myself yesterday... but, yeh, so, whatever. Bye now. Thanks. From now on, try your best to ignore something you don't have anything beneficial to say about. Coo?

But what fun is that? I like to hear your lengthy responses to my childish comments. LOL!

*does moon walk*

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

wow.

yay #196.2 yayOG 2004

The simple answer is.. whatever sounds good. Every sound card is different, so you're best off just trial and error. If it's choppy, go up by 25-50. Rinse repeat. This is where you see a big difference between a generic on board sound card and commercial sound card, the buffering is usually way better, and latency (mainly caused by converting analog to digital and vice versa using buffers etc) is virtually non-existent. HTH

Oh and P.S., haven't used buzz machines in quite a while. They really need to make an alternative, way too buggy.

theremin #196.2.1 thereminOG 2002

Ok, coo, thanks.

Yeh, it is pretty annoying at times.

Did you hear that the creator of Buzz is supposedly working on a new Buzz tho finally?

But, if I could justify the expense at this time, I'd probably buy either Reason, Ableton Live, or Native Instruments.

..Maybe eventually.

fivezero #196.2.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

Ableton Live? Who are you? Thomas Banglalter?

theremin #195 thereminOG 2002

Question for yay..

Still using Buzz these days?

I started using it again.
Have you ever used it in a 'live' sense?

I need to correct the latency.

My laptop is running Vista
And I'm running Buzz, to basically take advantage of the Midi
I have a Keyboard connected to my computer via a Midi-to-USB
And this way I can trigger VSTs, etc etc, among other things
And my Keyboard synth becomes virtually anything I wish it to be

Problem is latency..
The sound output is delayed.

After a lot of hours reading forums, etc... about the known problem with Vista's audio latency... I came across ASIO4ALL.

I wanted to ask you if you know whether it's gonna work or not.
I might try it tomorrow, so I can get some much needed sleep.

But, have any experience fixing latency for a similar or exact setup?

Again, the particulars:
Vista
RealTek High Def Audio Sound Card
Keyboard connected (MIDI OUT) to laptop via M-Audio Uno USB adapter
Buzz (MIDI IN)
3 GB RAM (stupid audio latency & Vista... I have 3 Gig!)

I'd post in a forum but figured you'd see it here first.

I downloaded ASIO4ALL but haven't installed yet.
Have you used it yourself? And does it work in this type of scenario?

it gets all bent out of shape when you spill grey goose inside of it

theremin thereminOG 2002

It's Grey Goose that would probably improve it. Well, Belvedere actually, if you're really serious about improving it.

Belvedere is good. so is Effen.
