GhostInTheShell

I actually missed this one. It will be shown next month (explained below) here in the US but it actually came out in Japan earlier this summer (June)–and it never crossed my eyes. GitS (Ghost in the Shell) is a fun collection of both series and movies, generally with a deep storyline as well as a fun score (OST/soundtrack). In my opinion, the original movie is in my top 5 list of classic Japanese animation (anime) films that no anime fan should ever miss.

It’s hard to believe a new one came out without my knowing of

Looks like life just hit the reset switch. What I consider to be my “main” job, announced last week that we are all going to be laid off in December. A great Christmas present to everyone to celebrate the new year with. They decided it would be best for us (aka cheaper for them) to outsource to a 3rd party company for labor. Of course we all have the option of joining the new company at 1/3 or

Simple Syndication version 1.2.6 and phpBB 3.1.x support (download)

simplesyndication

To start off, the link is available below–I took over this project from wouterv simply to upgrade it to work with phpBB 3.1.x since it had lost functionality due to troubles such as deprecated php. I insisted on getting it to work and there was no reason it couldn’t be shared with the rest of the world as it is such a useful mod for phpBB. Although I’ll keep an eye on the Discussion/Support screen when possible, I don’t plan on maintaining it past that unless it loses functionality again. It already has all of the features you would expect to find in it (outside of getting crazy with things).

If you would like to take the project over, message me on phpBB’s forums and we can discuss it. I am sure people would like

Vizio-M-Series

There I go again, not posting something for….forever. I seem to have lost my muse a little for this site. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not going anywhere. It’s just, at the moment, I don’t plan on saying much until…I get the muse back….or bug….or urge….or grammatical twitch…..etc.

In the meantime, somebody buy me this TV! It looks amazing. It’s huge, it sounds like it has quite the image and would fit so very….very well, on my bathroom wall, right above toilet. Or maybe the master bedroom……..or the great room, whatever….:P

Very “grammatical”…right? All these periods I always speak with. As well as

Newsgroup/Usenet company with the highest retention and lowest price

Newsgroups

There are many companies out there for your anime usenet downloading needs (or…whatever else it is that you like to download). I have used many over the years, both here in the US and areas around Europe. Of all of them, the one I like most (and always brag about) is Newshosting. There are many things you have to look for like retention (the amount of days their servers can go back to find a post/file), the speeds they support and how much do you have to pay?

Newshosting no only has one of the fastest backbones (meaning your only speed limitation is your own connection), but they currently have a retention of over

No excuse for the slow downloads on Xbox Live

XboxLiveSlowDownloads

So we have a scenario here! I have an Xbox 360, hard wired to a gigabit network running through a house, riding on a cable connection of 120+mbps (varies usually between 120 and 130). Everything else connected makes use of the full connection. The Xbox 360 takes about 1 minute+, to download 16.89KB? A file so small, it shouldn’t even be a thought (and barely a memory for the console). Yet here we are in 2015, downloading at speeds that AOL in 1999 would have laughed at. What the heck is going on Microsoft?????

I understand that networks can be stressed down, but when you have millions of fans not only paying you for the console and games but yearly on top of that just to be able to use it…you have no excuse for cutting back. Especially that badly. Microsoft needs to step up their game!

Mumford_and_sons

I haven’t posted much lately yet (again). Been far too busy with work and climbing the ladder of life. Haven’t given much anything else a thought other than getting outdoors for hikes and exploration to clear the mind in between, and spending time with friends and family.

I figured I would share this. I came across it by chance and when clicking on play, I planned to only watch the first few minutes, but wound up watching the entire thing. Mumford and Sons is a great band filled with talent and solid mixing (they put out some great albums, always ready to take on the audiophile world of things).

Pebble CEO choses NOT to team with Microsoft due to personal bias

pebble-watch

So Pebble reaches out to Microsoft with a partnership in mind, to favor Windows devices with their smart watches. They challenged Microsoft to develop a prototype app that proves the phone could support the watch. If so, they may be interested in partnering with them–including the option of highlighting the watches at Microsoft stores and offering them as part of bundles with Windows Phone devices.

Originally, the relationship between such devices and Windows devices was limited due to the fact that Microsoft hasn’t allowed access to certain APIs/features within the OS. This limited access prevents a company like Pebble from fully developing an app. However, if Microsoft helps, then all of those problems are history.

Microsoft not only agreed to play ball, but they
