My take on ISP volume caps and surcharges

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Both Keen and Tobold have opposing views on the recently hot e-topic, ISP volume caps and surcharges. To quickly bring you up to speed, some major US Internet Service Providers (ISPs) want to introduce a pay-as-you-go method for their customers' Internet usage. They want to introduce several tiered volume packages (e.g., ...

Warning - Hell Hound Invasion!

Photo on demand - the star of ChaosCast episode #1: I'm sure this will make Keen weep. All right... no more personal pictures on this blog ever again. Promise! :)

My New PC Update!

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

You should see my new PC, seriously... it's awesome! Right now, all the parts are sitting in individual boxes, wrapped in bubble wrap, encased in a single giant cardboard box with my RMA number written in bold, black Sharpie. Why? Well friends, there's a fun story behind it all (unless you're ...

Upgraded my PC

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

I did a budget upgrade on my PC yesterday and I hope all the parts arrive before the weekend! After taxes, shipping, and rebates, CAD $420 (CAD $1 = USD $1.01 atm) gets you: DFI B.I. P35-T2RL LGA 775 Mobo Intel Pentium Dual Core e2180 2.0 GHz CPU 2GB OCZ Platinum PC2-6400 DDR-800 RAM BFG ...

The Challenge…

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Okay, so this is probably as far off topic as you'll find on this blog but I just had to share... Five minutes ago I received a phone call from my band-mate (we're on hiatus atm-long story...). He tells me that he's been asked by his brother's best friend to record ...

A Song Inspired by Orcs

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Admittedly, not the Orcs of Warhammer, but from Lord of the Rings... That's why it's Off Topic! :P Here's a little tune my band put out early last year inspired by the battle of Helm's Deep. Talk about white and nerdy, eh? And yeah... it's been a slow weekend for WAR-related ...

A Casual Gamer’s Despair / Addiction

Friday, January 4th, 2008

I really enjoy reading Tobold's blog because he has an interesting perspective on things. Recently, he wrote about his current situation in WoW, similar to that of MANY people who play(ed) the game, myself included. WoW has been so immensely successful because it appeals to the casual gamer... that is, ...

Merry Christmas, and all that rot!

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Happy holidays folks! I ended up taking a bit more time off this site for friends and family than I thought this Christmas, so I apologize for the lack of updates. If you must blame anything, blame Team Fortress 2 for gobblin' up the majority of my free lately. ...

Off Topic: Want $30 off Web Hosting at Lunarpages?
