iPod FUNKit DJ

This little accessory for an iPod is pretty interesting; only though if it has modes for normal playback of music and then the fun ’scratching’ and DJ announcing. It’s different and to me different is intriguing.

Flock You!

Like YEAH BABY! See when there is variety in software I get super silly excited… well let me explain; when there is 20 different browsers out there all competing to offer the best of the best feature set it gets me all warm and fuzzy inside. Why? Because they strive for excellence and placement.

My excitement is steaming through on this new browser dubbed: Flock that seems to have some very serious potential that interests me immensely! Currently I’ve had to switch back and forth between Firefox and Safari for use and blogging. It sucks! Wordpress’s Admin back-end doesn’t function properly for who knows why the hell not, and Firefox, though topped with stability secured tightness. just doesn’t feel usable for anything more than blogging.

Sooooooo…. will this Flock be an ends all to browsers? They sure seem to have some very bright ideas and features in the spotlight! I do hope it can be my 1 and only :)

Mindless Threats or Serious Business

Seems that the air-strike that took out one of the Al-Qaeda leaders, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has seriously caused some angry retaliation to be boiled up. Threats that state:

shake the enemy from its sleep…

I’m not a real political person and who knows why this damn war has been going on for this long in the first place… I do know that the havoc that had devastated us back on 9.11.2001 can’t ever be forgotten. Surely these terrorist can devise a plan that can cause some more anguish! It honestly horrifies me of what these people might be planning for counter-measures.

XBox 360 Dashboard Update

Woohoo! Microsoft is flaunting some integrity with this update due out this morning stated by Major Nelson and Joystiq!

A whole slew of new features is set to grip our kick ass media centers with some of the very highly demanding features to finally be addressed. My only concern is the update is being released today… which is being dubbed 666 because of 6.6.06 — coincidence or just silly superstitions? Hopefully the update wont flash some satanic message on screen to be followed up with some sort of melt down of the hardware.

Oh my silly imagination has run wild…

***UPDATED***
Come to realize that a hidden memory maintence is now available -
To perform the function, access ‘Memory’ in the system blade in the 360’s Dashboard, and then highlight the hard drive or memory card. Now press: Y, X, X, LB, RB, X, X

Monkey Chow Boy

Wow… simply just wow!
Where in the crazy world did this guy ever conjure up this idea… it’s simply hilarious. Really it is. I highly suggest that everyone that needs something senseless to laugh at to watch Monkey Chow Diaries 1-7. I really would like to know how this whole experiment was even considered? In his famous ending words, “Monkey Chow Out…”

Comments and Higher Traffic

Hey everyone…
Just curious if anyone might have any suggestions on a good method to drive more traffic here to FrakyTJ and possibly get people intrigued enough to comment on posts? I know most of my postings are ramblings, odd things, or links to various things I run across on the web I like to share. Does my blog just virtually suck to the people’s appeal out there in this generation of cyber goodness? Probably.

So can anyone please enlighten me as to drive more traffic and feed the masses to some goodness to get my blog out there? It would be greatly appreciated.

Breaking the FFXI Addiction

Since Xbox360 users were bestowed with the privilege to play FFXI I’ve been hooked! It’s quite comical also because when actually launching the game there is message that “reminds” everyone to not disregard their personal responsibilities such as family, work, friends, spouses and etc… well hello now, doesn’t that seem to tell you that this game must’ve affected several people by now, in a majorly serious way?

So, I’ve haven’t been playing for about a week. I don’t want to be engrossed into a game that makes me feel out of control of my life. Playing it hardcore for about 4 months was plenty; besides the game doesn’t seem to have an ending. On-top of that they charge another monthly fee above the normal XBL subscription, which I believe should be reduced for being a Microsoft Gold XBL member… yea guess not.

So everyone wish me strength to leave this damn addicting game alone, please!

New Wordpress Plugins

Ran across a few plugins that seem very useful to serious and even casual bloggers that use Wordpress! One is an Admin Panel theme but still groovy, the other two are pretty useful; one is a ‘toolbar’ addition to the regular layout of the site. if you are logged in as Admin, that gives access to the familiar links such as Dashboard, Write, Manage, Links, Presentation, ad etc… the second plugin, which I’m toying with now, and mostly excited about is an Edit in Place!! I’m still in the process of configuring and setting up so not sure how it exactly works.

Though by it’s description it would be ideal for any blogger using Wordpress!

EditnPlace - Headzoo’s EditnPlace
SpotMilk - Ceprix’s Spot Milk
Easy Admin Access - 100yen’s Easy Admin Access

***UPDATED***
EditnPlace is now properly running and working just fine from what I can tell. Clean instructions got my theme up to requirements quickly and I made a couple of simple adjustments for my own taste; overall it was well worth the effort for what this plugin offers for ease of editing posts.

New Cocktail 3.7.2??

Update claims it addresses Apple OS X 10.4.7 compatibility issues. No official word on 10.4.7 released yet? Well it’s not in Apple’s Software Update yet… think it’ll hit release later today?

Cocktail 3.7.2 - MacUpdate

***UPDATED***
Might want to be careful with this update! I installed it and it oddly asked for my serial to re-register the program; now this wouldn’t be an issue being that I have a paid serial number, the kicker is it tells me my serial number is invalid!

I emailed the developer in hopes of a fix real soon…

***UPDATED***
Developer quickly responded with what was the issue and simply corrected it. Seems to be that somehow an algorithm was released that allowed for several serial numbers to be cracked, needless to say one of them just happened to be mine.

Like Riding a Bicycle

It’s very intriguing how the brain retains such complex memories on broad subjects! I’m marveled at my skills, after putting in a video game I haven’t played in so long, just to instantly remember the complicated map lay-outs, highest desired weapon placements, and other enhancing power-ups. I’m referring to Halo 2; though the game can get to my anger nerves fairly quickly, it’s just an extremely addicting game! Well with Bungie’s Statistics exceeding 500 million games played… I would say that is some addiction. A genuine impressive accomplishment if you ask me.

I pop in Halo 2 and I’m in awe at how well I can snipe. It’s not easy to properly do, yet I can fake, as if I’m a pro on most :)

New Banner…

So what does everyone think? Thought that maybe a new banner would look good… this is what I came up, though now I’m beginning to question why lizards?

Maybe I’ll re-do it over without lizards. I suppose it’s just one of the creatures that comes to mind that I associate with “Freaky”. Maybe I should create a rotating banners: lizards, tarantulas, snakes, etc…

***UPDATED***
Decided to update the self-portrait as well!

Headaches from Hell!

Last night at about 4AM I started to get a slight headache that I believe was from lack of sleep. Laid my head on the pillow to wake-up at roughly 6:30AM and the headache had evolved even worse! I thought I was gonna cry it hurt so damn bad… the pain was crippling.

Went back to sleep, and woke up at about 10AM, it was gone. Thank goodness for small favors! The puzzling factor in this all is that I rarely ever get headaches so this really worries me…

Being Ignored

Like seriously what the flying all hell is going on…
I recently created a profile, descent nonetheless, and responded to a couple of placed ads for roommates needed. I got back one response that might’ve had someone taking the place, but wasn’t sure. So I nicely asked if they could please let me know… after about a week still no answer. That really pisses me off because the location to the school and price were perfect for me damn-it!

Then I found another similar roommates site, which I signed up on and sent a request out to never be responded to period! What puzzles me is why even post searching for a roommate when you won’t respond…? On top of that you have these pricks that prefer only a female roommate?!? Prime example, a profile with a guy that was 46 had preferred a female roommate between the ages of 18-32… hello, can you say I’m a perverted-dumb-ass that can’t go out and find a girlfriend?

So this has been my duties for the past two weeks or so… trying to find a roommate to share living expenses with and getting the hell out of my mom’s house because I really can not take the crap she dishes out anymore.

Running Smoothly

Upgraded Wordpress to 2.0.3 and so far all seems fine as far as I’ve seen. Haven’t really read the documentation for security fixes and what not, but I figure there are good reasons to release an update…

Will keep updated if there are any issues I run into.

Searching High & Low

Life is filled with some very unique, amazing, and extraordinary experiences. I believe the saying “once in a life-time” is widely used without true meaning or appreciation. When I slow down to look around and view my outer activity, it’s only then I can feel how special life is with its’ intricate cycle. Needless to say this beauty and complex isn’t admired nearly enough due to the hustle and fast-paced society we’ve all adapted to in this generation.
