Story Time? Soon...

I have been writing some stuff recently. It's nothing too important, just some more fan fiction for CoH, but the fact is, I've been writing. When I do get it finished, I'll make sure to post that story, and the rest of the Feline Fellowship stories that I haven't posted yet, on to my blog. That way, non-SG members can read what I write too, and hopefully I'll get lots of comments... =)

Besides CoH stuff, I do have a few ideas for other stories, and a paper. The paper would be determing the effects of H.P. Lovecraft's works on modern day culture (no, I don't have to write something like that, but I think it would be fun.) The stories would largely be horror, with one exception. I plan on writing one about some sort of future where mankind has created a human/machine neural interface thingy. I'd try to have it have a similar tone...

I have given my two weeks notice to the lab, leaving my schedule with the IT stuff I do, school work I do, homework, family, friends, and misc. projects. I'm hoping that the time away from the lab can be used writing, either stories or code. Maybe with the extra writing time I can become good enough to actually publish a book... hopefully. Maybe.... please?

One of my friends had her 20th birthday yesterday. Although she asked for no gifts, I did give her something. I had a lot of film that hadn't been developed, and most of it is from when we were still in high school, such things ass Prom, grad night, ect. So anyways, I got the pictures developed, and then I gave her a set of prints. She liked the gift, so... =).

I picked up a G router today. For those who can't read my mind, that's a wireless 802.11G access point, that's compared to the Wireless 802.11B access point we currently have at home. I'm hoping that the increase in speed with result on an increase in my internet download and upload time, but that's probally just crazy talk. If someone doesn't know the difference between B and G, their speeds are 11mbs and 54mbs, respectively. Soon, they'll be releasing 802.11n, which will have a 600mbs throughput!!! 600mbs!!!!! That's really really really fast! Of course, it's probally cost way too much for my paycheck, but it is out there.

Nvidia has done something terrible!! There newest video card is about as powerfull as my pc! =( (ok, maybe that's exagerating it a little...) it has 512 MB of RAM! 512! That's what my computer has! I use to have 1.5 gigs, but then gig card went bad, and I haven't had time to go to Computer's Buyer's Warehouse to replace it (or go to HP.com to figure out the specs on my mother board... hehe.)

Picked up a new game today, Heretic Kingdoms. It wasn't too expensive, for it seemed to be an older game. As in Baldur's Gate 2 graphics. But it seemed intresting, except for one tiny detail. They had a drawing of what the main character looked like, and I doubt they could have leagally had her show more skin... I mean, I understand that the major target of the industry is the hapless teenage male who, outside of internet photos, probally hasn't seen a girl in his life, but does the industry's marketing need to focus soley on that client? I mean, it just escapes me as to how a person in a medeval setting, relying on melee combat would dress in such a fashion, and hope to survive. It furthermore escapes me as to how a programmer expects to attract new people into buying industry products (new being people who normally don't buy from that industry), by doing such things. And before anyone says anything, I realize the hypocrocy of this paragraph. And before anything says something else, I realize that hypocrocy is problaly spelt wrong.

Anyway, I need to be logging, so night!
