i was going through my screen shots of Guild Wars, I was bored.

and i came across this one and it still cracks me up.

No F'n Way

its a long running joke that in my guild my character is the least lucky out of everyone .. it seems and this is an inside joke among my guild mates but if you group with me and decided to do some runs its guaranteed you will get some great drops especially dye drops because normally how it goes, my character gets nothing. well one night i was on fire i was able to get two green weapon drops and salvage a ruby from a weapon a ruby is a rare crafting material in the game and this screen shot still cracks me up jsut read the convo window…

To living in a small town….

One is that DHL does not deliver in my area although they deliver in the town not 30 miles away heaven forbid they have to drive 30 mins south to deliver a package.  I was suppose to get my laptop today, however since DHL doesn’t deliver to La Crosse what happens is everything goes to KC and gets forwarded to USPS … which in and of itself isn’t all that terrible except now ive no way of tracking where my package is. it could be on its way to Alaska for all i know.

next is the USPS itself in La Crosse does not deliver to street addresses. They only deliver to PO Boxes which is a problem alot of merchants wont ship to PO Boxes, so in the case of my situation with my laptop is i have to go in and tell them that there is a package being sent to my street address. then i have to hope that the someone thats working that day when it does finally arrive will kindly still deliver my package … ive noticed that in small towns Government workers dont care. if i get the wrong person they will send my package back because it was address to my street address and not my PO Box.

I dont understand the issue of delivering a package that doesnt have the PO Box address … it has my name, city, and zip on it and my name is assigned to the PO Box so you know i live here. what possible harm can come to delivering the package to my PO Box?

this is the only beef i have with the town i live in and every small town seems to have this problem … my home town had this problem..i would rather live in a small town over a larger towns. they are cheaper to live in, alot quieter, and a lil more friendlier. i can enjoy being my self without ppl harassing me telling me to turn down the music, telling me to keep my dogs quiet, or just telling me that im somehow making your life miserable. ppl in larger town, now i know not every one is like this, seem to be alot more rude and have alot less patience. they just have to keep moving at a much faster pace not have the time to just sit back and relax.

Again i dont know why i keep going back ….they never make any sense…

You May have noticed that you computer might be running slower than usual also it not responding or jsut take for ever for it to start up. More than likely its cause by spyware or adware this is where Spybot Search & Destroy comes in handy.

Installing Spybot – Search & Destroy

The first step for spyware/hijacker removal is to download and install Spybot – S&D from the link below. .

Spybot – Search and Destroy

When you have downloaded the program, double click on the downloaded file to start the installation. Follow the default selections, agreeing to the user agreements, and pressing the Next button until you get to the Select Additional Task

you can put a checkmark in the last checkbox labeled “Use system settings protection (Tea Timer)”. I normally do not enable this but you can. Before you continue with the next step, let me explain what the permanent protection settings do.

SDHelper – This program will integrate into your Internet Explorer browser and block your browser from downloading “bad” programs from known malware sites.

TeaTimer – This program will constantly run on your computer in the background and notify you of any changes to system settings on your computer before they are allowed to happen.

When you are ready you can now press the Next button

you can finish this tutorial over at my tech site http://chipsncircuits.wordpress.com

well my poor lappy is going to be offline for a few days the ac power adapter finally died

this thing has had some history when it first quit working i had a friend fix … since then i have re-soldered the thing 5 times …. welp tonight i found out it broke from where it was soldered to the circuit board and no way of fixing it!

so i have downloaded and install google chrome and this is what i have found….

I’ve been testing Chrome for about a week, trying out all its features.

Chrome is a smart, innovative browser that, in many common scenarios, will make using the Web faster, easier and less frustrating. But this first version — which is just a beta, or test, release — is rough around the edges. Chrome’s interface has some bold changes from the standard browser design. These new features enhance the Web experience, but they will require some adjustment on the part of users.

One of the new features of Google Chrome is application shortcuts. This cool feature allows you to create an icon on your start menu, desktop, or quick launch bar that will open directly. these can also be set to offline mode so that you can open them up and work on then with out the need of an internet connection, a feature i have not use or tested out because i dont have chrome installed on my laptop.

here is gmail running in chrome from an app shortcut

now from what i have played around with it, its a neat browser, but without the ability to use extensions and the fact it is slower that firefox .. i wont be switching anytime soon.

heres the tutorial bit ….
