Guts of the PS3

If this is driving the PS3 it will be hacked so fast you wouldn't be able to blink. And exporting will be a big no no I am sure.

Rise of nations

|

They have tanks and bombers I have bows and arrows.........This is not very fair at all.

teach who what?

|

Now i sit in a bio class that is being taught by video, not a bad way to make a little money. I rented Prince of Persia the Warrior Within and it seems to be a fairly ok game that relies pretty heavily on jumping puzzles (bah the bane of my existence). I once again stayed up till 2 am and once again the school calls me to work, but they fail to call me if I go to bed at a decent time. One day I will learn for now I will be tired and hungry as I left the house with no cash. bleah.

The begining of another story

|

I finished off Metal Gear Solid 3 the other night which was of course why I was up so bloody late so the school could call me after 2 and a half hours of sleep. The graphics were good and the game play was smooth. You don't have to be quite as sneaky in this one it seems or maybe that was just me. The time is 1964 cold war era and for those that don't remember the second game was set in current times so this third game is the beginning of everything that is metal gear, if you have played the other two i recommend playing this so that you will have all of the story line from beginning to end. If you haven't played the other two, play this one first then metal gear solid and then metal gear solid 2, then you will get it all in chronological order at least. I guess I will take this back to pocketbuster and try to pick up resident evil 4 and see how good that one is.

Change

I am thinking of redesigning the main page of my blog and eventually building a website at this domain. Anyone who reads this has any ideas for a theme color scheme etc. drop me a comment or an email. If I get no ideas then I suspect the domain may become the home of the bittermatt psyche. Later All.

Teach the Heathens

Wow its amazing the unprotected wifi access points that you can find while substitute teaching a class. Today is Business Law, Career Tutoring, Programming, and Website design. These are mostly geared towards the upper level students at this 2 bit school, but still I haven't managed to figure out what language they use to program in. As far as Career Tutoring goes these kids are coming from DeSoto schools and as such will be at the bottom of any list that could be hiring and going to college is beyond sooo many of these children.

I also can't help but notice that like every useful port on this network is blocked so if anyone has vnc setup so i can at least use ichat drop me an email as I still can manage to use the web client on this very closed off network.
