Earth Day at Google?

Posted on2008/03/29AuthorTruXter2 Comments

“We’ve turned the lights out. Now it’s your turn – Earth Hour.”

Looks a little black.

I know everyone requested it a couple years ago, but really.

I don’t much care for it. It’s a false statement to say it uses less electricity to make the screen black. Your frickin’ monitor is still on!

jPod Goes Download

Posted on2008/03/28AuthorTruXter3 Comments

jPod, the television show based on the novel by Douglas Coupland, was canceled; all the fans like me know this . If you do not know this already, see what Kam Fong wrote.

The question is, ‘who is their advertiser?’ and what kind of server.

Joost could end up the host of this, but i have my doubts, since the advertisements have been reduced to near none on jooost these day. wouldn’t be much profit in that means of distro. Rev3 could really use something like this and the attention that comes with it.

With a show like jPod you really couldn’t expect anything less than a “Hey we do not need mainstream media anymore, there is plenty money in the internet now” kind of mind set.

We shall see what comes of this.

Working On “Her” Computer

Posted on2008/03/26AuthorTruXter

Well it seems the lady has come into a few cooties.

She has an xps m1210 laptop.

Since neither of us know just how long the stuff has been on her machine or where or how they all got there, I believe it would be in her best interest if we just back up everything that is important and whip out the reinstall discs. Easy? lol. Newp. No chance. Seems back when she got the computer she lived elsewhere with someone else and obtaining the drivers discs and o/s and all teh bundled software discs had to include a spy. Her little sister had to sneak the border and play friendlies… Now she snuck out with the baggy thing that all the discs are in which of course no one there claims to have seen. We have done some searches and find that one disc on the bag, is not for this laptop that we are about to work on. Ok. Now we have all the discs.

The hard part is deciding what to do after we install everything and well, does the sister go back and act like nothing happened? ( I mean this is a close as family issue, I am not in the family so I have to step back) I am thinking of burning the discs as a back up and bundling some jacked up progs with it.. but will they hate me for it?

well whatever

Ok So now the back up is not going so well. I have been to virustotal ,virscan.org and jotti’s a million times and man, I keep finding malware in everything she wants to backup. I am half tempted to just format and cross my fingers and lie like a dog. I am getting sick of each time they find stuff in the files I end up having to delete them anyway because they are beyond repair. Meanwhile I have a million more files to scan…one by one….. It’s hardly worth it. Then again she is fricken hot and I know what I am doing.
Well I also looked around and saw that ubuntu installs pretty good on this particular model. If I can assure her that open office is just as good as microsoft office/works then I got it made! I wouldn’t have to delete anything!
Tell you what, I will do something with this pretty machine and post it here later ;)

Gas Money Saving Gadgets and tips

Posted on2008/03/22AuthorTruXter2 Comments

I am so upset with gas prices right now, Heck I even made a bumper sticker.

As you can see, I wasted a little bit of time while at work today. But the main goal was to see if I can find a mod for my car that would allow me to reduce my consumption of fuel. Everything is getting so frickin costly these days and the value of a dollar is down so dang far. why are people not getting paid more yet? You hear of these stupid monster sized oil companies who report extreme profits. Go to the nearest gas station that you know has an employee working there that has been in the cashier spot for more than two or three years. Ask that cashier if they are making anything better than what they where making back when gas prices where less than half what they are now. The answer will be no. Clearly it will be no. The place where you sell the most price rising necessity and the c.o. group does not even lay some relief on their cashiers.

Sure you can tell yourself “it’s their fault for getting a crummy job”. That statement or thought makes you a worthless piece of $%^& !!!!!! Do not judge someone by your standards, your standards are not what make the world. And if they did, no one would be standing there to sell you gas or listen to you cry about it. Now leave the cashier alone before the word “postal” gets renamed.

Ok enough with that rant. Let’s see what it is that we need.

In my theory if we could increase horse power without a physical modification other than software or a simple trick Then we are in the right direction. I drive a 40o+ v8 car that gets me to work three days 18 miles away, per tank of gas. So I need a simple trick to try that makes it less fuel bogging to increase my power. See I figure if I can do that, then it will not take as much gas to get me going. Getting going is the roughest part.

What I found
How To Save Money on Gas

FUEL Alternatives
Break Through?
hybrids dooshmobiles
Very Well stated methods to saving gas
Use water not gas? are these dudes mental?…. we can live without gas!

more stuff to read -This thing looks retarded

“The Elektro-Karb is a high-performance electronic device.

Its precisely-made parts, the Frequency Generator,

Harmonic Resonance Cavity, Waveguide and “Elektrol”

Economizer all work in close harmony to produce powerful

and efficient sonic vaporization ” <— bs useless mumbo

jumbo. harmonic resonance cavity? means it’s hollow… right?

saves gas?

“Tight supplies and high prices for natural gas are

likely to boost home energy bills for air conditioning

and electricity in summer and heating in winter”

Gas saving rules to live by

“Always have your car tuned-up regularly.
Maintain a steady rate when driving you car.
Schedule buying your gas during the cool hours
Close you car windows when you are driving on the highway.
Minimize the use of air conditioners
Lessen your car’s load.
heck if tires inflated accordingly”

There are a million and one links when you do a search, but nothing really worth using except I think two so far and they just tell you to take off slow and steady and not go past 60mph. To me that is the best advice out there I guess I was looking for some magical metal thing I bolt on somewhere that makes my gas mileage better. I do not see that, no where. But I do look. I do not want to downsize anything I have or restrict anything infact I would like to be less restrictive so air and fuel flow easier, hopefully causing less need for use of at least one of those two resources.

There does not seem to be any legit techy device out there as of yet.

Hasn’t happened yet, guess I will park the machine and get a ricer fart car dooshmobile.

A Letter To Comcast- You Blocked My Site!

Posted on2008/01/14AuthorTruXter9 Comments

I am the owner of iworkwithpeople.comI have not been able to connect to my website now for nearly a week, I have seen that I can connect while at work on a t3 line, and I can connect on my female friend’s computer that has a dsl line, and a few friends from live.Pirillo.com have helped me and checked the connection from where they are and they all connect.. except the people on comcast . My site’s address is iworkwithpeople.com and the service I have is through 50megs.com. i assume they took it upon themselves to block 50megs.com for what ever reason they saw fit. in the process of blocking 50megs, they blocked me.. This reduces the number of page visits considerably. Considering they monopolized the cable industry, it looks more like a 20’s gangster bull crap “ehh mugsy don’t let no one connect to them until they pay me 50% seeeeeeee” .I am not happy with this .

The letter I wrote is to follow…

Comcast Houston blocking my domain.
I own a website, through 50megs.com
I can connect to my file manager on sbc dsl, I can connect through sprint dsl and I have connected at work with a t3 line, but when I get home or to any of my friend’s houses with Comcast I can not connect to 50megs.com . I am near time to re up on my domain name and hosting bills and getting really frustrated that I can not connect from home where i feel safe. I want to connect to my service and it appears you are blocking me. Please look into this and solve this issue.

Kinda looks like they sent me a bunch of nothing from comcast.. feels like I am trying to teach my cat how to pee in the toilet.

************update****************

Someone sent me a link to a proxy thingy for myspace
and it actually worked, just typed in my web site address and bamI whent directly to my site. I did not type in my password or anything though, I really do not know if I trust a third party site like that… ya know? so if you are on comunismcast or any service that can not see my site right now, gie that a try. see for your self that you are actually blocked.

************update***********

50megs.com is down

Posted on2008/01/12AuthorTruXter4 Comments

They host my stuff and for two days now I can not log into my account or even see http://iworkwithpeople.com

which is hosted at 50megs.com .. heck i can’t even go to 50 megs. . this is killing my visit count.

You know, I am starting to think comcast is blocking my host’s i.p. address.

No one can go there that I know of, who are on comcast.

I mean my buddy in another city on dsl can go there

I can go there from my job just 4 miles up the road, and my job uses a whole nother service.

if you can go to 50megs.com or iworkwithpeople.com please leave a notice as to what service you use and which of the two sites you can access.

Mods on motoRizr

So far the best one I have used is the browser add on, the opera mini, isn’t super smooth and takes for ever to load but it lets me actually browse the web instead of pages that will not display and or just seeing the news and weather sections.

most of the games I have found are in other languages or come with so little instruction you get stuck on screens that are moved all the way to the right or all the way to the left out of viewing area.

But as a media player… excelent. all of teh media player addons are quite useless, I did find one that was a streaming radio player but again, wrong language and barely did anything once i bumped my way around in it .

The camera, good for 2mp.

video camera, damn good for 2 minutes max.
