September 2011 Facebook update

Or how to put it back to the way it was at the beginning of the month, temporarily.

Easy fix, no idea how long it will last. Simply go to the bottom of your facebook page, and click on the language setting link (mine was set to English (US)), and change it to something else. Most english speaking people will more than likely want to use English (UK), which is what I set mine to. And Voila, back to the facebook we all know and love :)

To all the Rioting douchetards, who made my country look like shit....

This lady gets it. She does her job. She is the complete anti-thesis of you. She actually does something that makes a difference. You, you cost people time and money.

Time, because there were several platoons of caring citizens who went and cleaned up the mess you made, all over a hockey game. If you want to riot, go riot about some of the injustices that are being done in our country.

Money, well that one is a bit more self explanatory... You busted up innocent businesses, you took said businesses stock, without paying for it, and you burned cars... Police cars, no less, which your taxes helped pay for at some point.

So next time you feel like rioting and looting, look over your shoulder before you go to bed, because I, or someone like me, might be coming up behind you with a clue-by-four to knock a bit of sense into you, and send you legitimately to the ER.

An itch I have started to scratch

Well, after wanting something to fill the time when I am at home, and need something to do(other than work on my new house). I have come upon a new idea for a mobile application. It has something to do with a relatively new hobby of mine, tabletop gaming. More specifically, Dungeons and Dragons, 3.5 Edition.

This is my first real foray into Java programming in some years. I have been C# and .Net programming pretty much since I got out of university. This is also the first real Android project I am committing to, with plans at a later date to port it over to iPhone/Pad and Windows Mobile 7... Blackberry can go screw themselves, as I do not see them as worthy of my attention. Who really buys those anyways, except stuffed shirts?

But back to the project... I see it as a bit of a massive undertaking, as there is a lot of material to go through. But hey, I figure I have to try. This guy, Torsten Wiederkehr, created this awesome d20 character sheet app, and I love it. It is what has inspired me. So, Mr. Wiederkehr, I salute you, and thank you. I am in for a lot of pain, but I will get this done.

Happiness!

Yay, my RMA'd board is back... the power/wireless bracket is a little bit bent, but I can deal with that... The Maniacal laughter and abonination construction continues tonight, perhaps for a few hours...

Testing will be done to ensure that this thing starts up... Windows may even get put on a spare harddrive, just so that I can start getting it setup.
