Holiday Weekend

Jody was over last holiday weekend. It was a nice change from heading over to the Island. Spend the weekend playing D&D, playing video games, working on some of my projects. . . but mostly D&D.

I've been thinking of getting a set of good surround speakers for my gaming PC for a while now. Of course, I haven't been using that PC for video games much (it's been more of a DVD/CD burning station as of late). Plus, when I had the house, I had my surround receiver connected so it wasn't much of an issue. Well, I've started playing Guild Wars and GT4. This weekend, tried to show Jody this short animation and I had to switch over a set of speakers instead of using the fancy headphones I usually use. While at Futureshop, saw a set of Logitech X530 speakers on sale. . . they are now connected to that PC.

I've been working on modifying Jody's XBox for a while now. He had to get a brand new one which has made the job a pain in the ass. Got a modchip, but the company I got it from didn't send me the correct adapter. Then I had problems formatting the flash on the chip. Finally got that working. Ordered the adapter I needed from another company. Figured I'd might as well get something else to offset the shipping costs. So I got a flash card for my GBA.

While writing this post, I've noticed a pretty bad spending habit of mine.
