someguy63- Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) This will be my journal log for things about me and things that happen. First off, I think I should give some starter details about myself. 1. I am attending a polytechnic university in Pomona, a city between Los Angeles and my hometown. 2. I am a third-year Computer Engineering undergraduate student. 3. I own a N64, a PSOne, a PS2, a GameCube, a Wii, a PS3, a PC, and a Xbox 360 (but my brother uses it way more than me). 4. I live next to the city that's the birthplace of McDonald's. 5. I do not believe, no, have no faith in the "significant-other" type of love. 6. I am a cheap person, or to be more detailing, I am more of a penny-pincher though I have a lot of money for a 20-year old who is also basically getting paid to go to college (with no work experence too). 7. I am inexperenced in online gaming. I am good offline but it goes differently online. I want to improve myself in that category. 8. I have learned a little German, and a considerable amount of Spanish. Those are some of the things about me. I hope to come back here very often. Also, how do I post images on a post and not a thumbnail? I want to post my image of my PC wallpaper on a corresponding topic. P.S. Watched Blade Runner in its fullness for the first time. :mrgreen: Edited February 29, 2012 by someguy63- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 One thing I really like about you already: your honesty. I look forward to hearing more from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the complement. Anyway, I had purchased a DVR/HD Capture Card yesterday for $160 dollars yesterday. I want to make youtube videos of me playing games soon, but my current capture card doesn't record in HD (currently a Dazzle Capture Card, which would not be satisfying to record). Also, forgot to mention about my life: I been on a weight loss since Thanksgiving of 2010. As of now, I have lost more than 40 pounds and am now at 176lbs. Need to go to microeconomics now. Back soon. and... I am back. Edited February 29, 2012 by someguy63- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 nothing happened yesterday However, I am done with my one-page outline for my econ class. Going to join the SFO server after i return from school today knowing that i will continue to die more than killing or assisting. Still no comfirmation about my Capture Card order being shipped. After next week, I shall enter finals week (i go by 3 quarters and not 2 semesters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Got word that my DVR/HD Capture Card is shipped. The earliest that I will receve it would be this monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjrathbun812 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Also, how do I post images on a post and not a thumbnail? I want to post my image of my PC wallpaper on a corresponding topic. You put [ i m g ] and [ / i m g ] on both sides of the link. The one with the slash goes at the end of the link. (No spaces, though. I only did that so that the text would show up.) It has to be a direct link to the image, too. You can upload images from your computer on places like photobucket and imageshack, and get the direct link to the image there.

someguy63- Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 ok, i will try that. However, do i have make an accout on either website to get those links? Anyway, i am getting a new bed and nightstand. We had to move my old furniture out of the room and that was why i did not play on the TF2 server as much as i had hoped for. Forgotten that I had a photobucket account: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someguy63- Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 School week 10 of winter quarter 2012 has just started. Next week is finals week. Finished with my beginner C++ class Have to go to economics soon. should get my HD DVR/Capture Card when i come back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 After a hiatus, I went back to playing Assassin's Cread Brotherhood for my PS3. The multiplayer now seems more empty. I then went to the singleplayer to finish my DLC [at full synchination (sic maybe)]. I finally did that, making the entire game at 100% synchination (with DLC) since buying the DLC last year. After that, I manage to get more trophies from the DLC that I did not even attempt to achieve before because of making 100% as previously stated. With the new free content on Playstation Plus yesterday, I spent a large amount of memory (about 8GigaBytes). Despite that large purchace of memory, I still have 132GBs left (out of my 250GBs system that I have since Christmas 2009). With the 40 dollars I have spent for six months of PSPlus, I got almost 3 times as much worth of free content by now. After a full day of testing my new HD DVR/Capturecard, I have been able to record some PS3 and Xbox360 footage in 720p. However, when it came to try it on my Wii, at first the image didn't appear while the sound came out. Then I reduced the console's resolution from 480p to 480i and the video came out. I mean, WTF! If it can record Xbox and PS3 at 720p, why can't it record 480p Wii video footage? Other than that, I have also been able to make it record future shows and reruns. By Saturday at noon, I will be watching the France vs. England Six Nations rugby match from my computer. Just got back my outline of Keyes' thesis for my economics class: Got nine points out of ten (which is 25% of the total assignment, bringing the total potential points to 40) The other thirty will come form my two/three-page answers.

someguy63- Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 With PlayStation Plus, I was able to download Sly Cooper 1 for free. Because I had played it at 100% before with the physical copy of the game, I quickly breezed through the entire game and get the Platnium trophy in fifteen hours (because I stared late at night and went to sleep). I am currently uploading some recorded videos of another game on YouTube made from my new HD CaptureCard (after converting them to WMV format). Maybe soon, I will make my own topic board on this website for my video works soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Basically, I have started my unofficial Spring Break. Although, my break officially starts next week and my last final is on Friday, I start with a three-day break. At least I have a very easy final for my economics class considering that I am "aceing" that class on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Going to take my last final for the quarter (or trimester if you want) now. I hope to join the SFO server today and try to improve my kill-death ratio. Spring Break, Here I come! P.S. My rubgy recording last week was actually Wales vs. Italy. Will record tomorrow's match. Wales for the Championship! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 After basically two weeks of doing absolutely nothing, I am going to start my spring trimester tomorrow. I will start my classes at 8 am and end depending on the day. On Mondays, class will end at 1pm. On Wednesdays, I will leave at 9pm (a 3hr-class with 5 hours between classes). Finally, I will leave at 10:20 am on Fridays. I am ready for school to come and go for summer vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I saw my grades for the previous quarter. My beginner C++ class ended with a solid C because my instructor's tests are somewhat vague and incomprehensible to understand for us (but it seems as if she was teaching a more advanced class). I got an A in elementary (sic) Spanish, but again, I took the class for full-time student status. Finally, I got an A minus for my microeconomics class. This quarter, I will be learning French. That's basically my fourth language and the second to learn within a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Finished with my weekly classes just right now. Going to tonight's server TF2 game and other than that, I have nothing better to write about. If anyone would reply soon, would you ask me some quetions about almost anything?

someguy63- Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Almost an entire month has passed without a journal entry. Anyway... Yesterday, I had revieved my disc copy of Wipeout XL for the PS One and recorded some footage. Since the game disc is also programmed to be played like a music CD, I imported the soundtrack from the game into my PS3's hard drive. I also did the same for my copy of Wip3out. Today was my short school day. I left college at 11am and went to the gym in order to lose MORE weight and gain some muscle. Keep in mind that I went from 210 lbs. to 175lbs. in the past 16 months. Also, for some bizarre reason, my left arm is way more muscular than my right even though I am right-handed. It was the second week since several months of absence of going that I decided to return to the gym on Fridays. Anyway, after that, I realized that I did not have my house key because I gave it to by younger brother on Tuesday. So I waited for an hour until my sister came from her college to unlock the door, which was just 25 minutes ago. Still, it was a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 My laptop still crashes uncommonly, but the ultimate question is WHAT program, when triggered, causes the crash? I have already done many systen restores, defragments and startup repairs, but did little at all. I am now doing anit-virus scans to see if the crash is virus-based, thought very unlikely since I use both Norton 360 and Avast softwares. I might have to use a registry cleaner to fix it. However, I do not know much about them and do not want to be scammed. Which one would be recommended? which online version can be used reliably? How much could such a cleaner cost? PLEASE REPLY ASAP! P.S. : We may create a thread for fixing many PC issues if there isn't any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 It turns out that my laptop needs a new component because of overheating. The repairs will be fixed by Thursday, so in the meantime, I am using my mom's until then. All of my data such as videos and pictures are going to be safe, except for my Steam games that have to be reinstalled after. Soon, I will return to the TF2 SF-O Nights.

someguy63- Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Just got my second midterm for my Combinational Logic class: a poor 9 out of 30 because 1. combined NAND gates with inverters, making them ANDs. 2. converted ex-3 inputs directly into grey code instead of using the BCD to get grey code and 3. had no idea to use multiplexers at the time. The 9 pts with the 15 pts (out of 25) of the first midterm and the 5pts for the homework puts my current grade at 29pts out of 60 for a 48.33% That means in order to pass the class with a C-minus at least, I would need at least a 36 out of 40 (A-minus) on the final (65pts out of 100 for a C-). Seeing that of my poor scores on the midterms, That's just a Hail Mary for me, but I am still going all out on it. I will be retaking the class (with the same teacher) in the fall and given that I actually know much of the stuff from the class, I feel good right now nevertheless.

someguy63- Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Finally, I am finished with my Spring Finals and thus, my summer vacation starts now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy63- Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Haven't posted entries on over a month. I am going to Tacoma and Seattle next week on Tuesday during my vacation. I have also checked my grades for the Spring quarter: A "C" for Combinational Logic for engineering, an A- on Elemantary French I, a B+ on Mass Media research, and an A for my lab for said engineering class. I have also just made a Skype account some days back and I was hoping to get some contacts from the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
