  1. That's the cold hard truth right there. Back a few years ago one of the websites I run got hit with some hackers that took the site over for a short period spamming it with Japanese porn, which involved women...and snakes, I'll stop right there
  2. So do they know exactly Who did it?
  3. Fish porn is the only porn that cam will ever see Doc.
  4. Dave or any of you techie guys, I need a suggestion for a good smooth video webcam. What I want to do with it is to extend the usb cable through the floor so I can set the webcam up in my basement so it is focused on my big aquarium. That way when I am not down there I can run the live feed on my 2nd monitor. So obviously I don't want a a webcam that is going to have a choppy feed. Don't want to spend a ton of cash on one, but wondering is anytone has any suggestions on a decent priced one that will provide a smooth video feed?
  5. It's not too bad. Usually about once per month I will take a day where I spend about 2 hours and do a good cleaning in both the shop & office.
  6. Just got around to making a short couple min vid of the 265g aquarium as well as a brief tour around the work shop and office where the tank is located
  7. Found this guy at the local shop the other day. Been looking for one of these Livingstonii for awhile now.. Only about 5" currently but has some nice blue already showing in his face. He's still getting settled in so not showing the same color he was in the shop just yet. He'll spend the next 2 weeks in the Q-tank then go into the 265g after that.
  8. You just summed up the entire movie plot in less than 10 words, that's my point lol. There is absolutly no build up of characters, the movie starts with them in space already, there's no build up of who they are, where they really came from, people in their lives, things they did before they were at the point of being trapped in space. The whole thing about Sandra's daughter dying almost like a writers afterthought and was just a weak attempt at a quick backstory that they summed up in less than 30 seconds of the movie. So there's no connection for the audience to actualluy care one way or another about the main characters. The whole plot is she's trapped in space and has to get back, IMO it's lacking in plot because there's nothing else to go along with it. I'll give you an example using another space movie, Armagedon. In Armageddon the first part of the movie was building the characters by showing their backstory of who they are, why they are there, the people in their lives, the relations between Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck, how and who would be affected if they died, the relationship betwen Bruce Willis and Ben, even the smaller parts like Steve Buscemi's character and Micheal Duncan had character build ups which added to the plot which in turn makes you as the viewer feel a connection to the character, which also in turn makes you care about what happens to them in the movie. In Gravity....it's two people in space with no story other than "oh we're trapped and have to get back".....And? lol. There's just nothing to make you care about them. Plot just seemed really really thin to me man, almost like it took no imagination to come up with. I felt they tried to rely way too much on CGI and really put no actual thought into the script or plot if you ask me.
  9. Just got done finally watching the movie "Gravity" because I heard how it was so great etc etc. Am I the only person that thought it pretty much sucked?? No real story, no character building, very thin plot, nothing but a display of special effects with not much else IMO. One of the most overrrated movies I have seen in years if you ask me.
  10. Really liking it. I'm getting close to the last episode I saw during the initial airing of it. I'm on the 3rd episode of season 3 right now.
  11. Managed to get the old one back up and running yesterday. I have them both side by side hooked up now. My old one has both DVI & VGA ports on the video card so I'm able to run both the new PC and the old PC off the same monitor. Now I can do all my personal & business stuff on the new one and have the 2nd one dedicated to free porn..errrr, I mean other stuff Between the two PC's, two laptops, and the 2TB XHD I think I have around 4+TB of storage now.
  12. Funny you posted this because I got the entire Breaking Bad series on DVD for Christmas and not even 10 mins ago I finished watching the 2nd season episode where Saul comes into it. I use to love Breaking Bad but after the 3rd season I missed a few episodes and stopped watching it, so now that I have the whole series I am watching it from start to finish.
  13. I've seen a few of the temp monitor download programs but never downloaded one, I'll look into it though. Right now I'm replacing the Power supply, CPU fan, and a few other things on my old PC, I think I'm gonna get it back up and running and then hook it up to the 2nd monitor that way I can have two systems side by side
  14. It's got a AMD Radeon HD8670D video/graphics card in it Tommy. I don;t game on my PC but I do some video editing with my Go Pro and such so she suggested this video card for that over the first unit I was looking at. Your lucky you didn't use Windows 8 at all lol, I do not know a single person that likes it. My Mom has it on her laptop I bought her two years ago and I can't find anything on it, it's such a terriable OS. So are you saying you keep Windows and other things on a different storage to save space/speed? Because I have a 2 TB Seagate XHD that I pretty much just keep pics and such on which I could move stuff over too. Haven't booted into bios to check any temps or anything yet.
  15. I've been getting to the point of having to think about getting a new desktop PC soon. Mine was a good machine and served it's prpose well but turned 7 yrs old this year which in terms of computers is getting into it's golden years My old system was good for the time I bought it with dual core, 2.71ghz and windows xp. But have been having issues with it lately with having to replace the power supply, then overheating problems with a fan and heat paste going south, then the other day just out of the blue it reset itself to the welcome page like the day I first bought it. So that was the nail in the coffin for it IMO. So went out yesterday and paid a vist to the shop I buy most of my computer stuff from. It's a mom & pop store that is owned by a really nice Asian couple that build custom assembled PC's and sell then for a decent price. I came home with this.... Quad core AMD A10 6800k 4.4Ghz 8GB DDR3 / 1333 memory 1 TB hard drive Asus A55BM-E Motherboard DVD+ / RW drive Windows 7 64bit system So far I'm liking it. Taking a bit of getting use to Windows 7 coming from XP but seems like a nice operating system. I had to pass on a few other systems they had at other places because I did not want a machine that ran Windows 8.
  16. Good day today, picked up the 2nd 45g wheeled can for storing/aging water so now I can do 90g(30%) water changes using aged water. I also added a few more fish to help get the aggression down and it is fully under control now, almost to the point of being down right mellow now. Added my big male Dimidiochromis compressiceps and Dragonblood I had from a 55g tank. And a buddy stopped by and gave me a really nice bleekeri and a trio of 4" male Venustus so they are currently in the tank for the time being. Adding those really helped settle things down in a hurry. Thanks again Wayne 8) Monitoring water parms very close still and they are right were I want them with 7.7ph, 0 nitrite, 5 Nitrate, do have .25ammonia but that is because it comes out my tap at that level (still waiting for a reply from the water dept on that one because chloramine is not listed as being used in my city but with ammonia out of the tap I think they must be doing it so I'm treating for chloramine now in my water) 90g of water storage area And a few more pics of the tank / fish in it now
  17. I love that song! I bought the soundtrack CD years ago just for that song
  18. Places like Alaska have more problems with substance abuse because they are so desolate. Many of the local inuit tribes there live on the verge of poverty and don't have actual 40hr week jobs, live in a village that has no stores or businesses of any kind, and have an over abundance of non productive time on their hands because of the area being so remote. So that is one of the main causes of the alcohol problems in places like Alaska. 18yrs old IMO is too young for someone to drink alcohol. Almost all studies show that your brain is not fully developed until 23-25 yrs old. Adding a substance like alcohol to someone whom is only 18 simply has no upside to it.
  19. Some people you can consider "friends" even though you have never meet them in person. You're a good guy Jay that we have all got to know and care about so we just wanted you to know we're there for you when you have problems and want to see you happy.
  20. LOL I think I just found my new signature
  21. Spent the past few days finishing up the 265g tank. I will still be stocking a ton more fish slowly over the next couple months but I have finally finished up the tank and room itself. Stocked the 10" Venestus as well as 11" Champsochromis today. I didn't plan on adding them so soon but because of moving other fish in the other tanks they were getting pretty aggressive so I had to move them to the big tank. I'll just have to stay on top of daily water changes for the next few weeks since I added them now. Some of the last things I finished over the past few days were finished up all the lighting work, and finished up the jungle/rock wall. I had some wood limbs that I had been drying for awhile out back which I stripped of bark and cut to fit into the wall so it looks like the branches are coming out of the wall and going into the ceiling as well as side wall. Added moss, vines and leaves and now have the full effect I wanted. Once I get a chance I'll take some video and upload to show the fish better as well as to show the nice shimmer the big LED spotlighting gives off, but here's some finished pics for now. Nearly two years of work but well worth it now that it is finally finished!
  22. Had four Hydor 1" LED spotlights leftover from another project so decided to put them to good use by mounting them in the ceiling so that they light up sections of the rock wall to give a nice dramatic lighting effect for evening viewing
  23. First batch of stocking is complete. In this first round of stock there are- 6" OB 4" yellow lab x2 5" Yellow tail Acei 5" Williamsi North (Blue lip) 4" to 6" Synodontis multipunctatus x 6 5" to 7" Synodontis eupterus x3
