    ...ahh, once again no longer in the PC. Forgot that my 3 month membership expired this past weekend and I don't currently have the cash to renew. When I looked at my account page it still shows the 7.95$ monthly renewal as an option even though it no longer exists. Pity, I actually have enough in my bank account to cover that. Guess I'll have to wait until the end of the week. Hopefully I'll be be able to renew before Monday as this week's freebie is a very useful one.

    I remember there used to be a short grace period of a couple days. Guess not anymore.

    Odd that I'm still getting the newsletter though.


    Don't know if this will be enough to help, but PC+ memberships are 25% off today. :)
    So $18 for a quarterly.

    ...yeah got that newsletter last night. Account balance is over a few $ shy. Wish they would have waited until the weekend.

    Seems to always work out that way for me. If I want it, I don't have the money. If I have the money, there's nothing I want.

    ...March Madness was like that for me. Put aside what I could and really didn't find a lot I wanted to spend it on until DogZ store went on sale where I picked up all three of the Old Railway sets that had been sitting on the wishlist since they were released..

    Was expecting Stonemason to release Urban Sprawl 3.

    I think I will try it when I get home. Hopefully it is free.

    It comes at the low cost of $0.00 to use. It does have a commercial license that's only just slightly more expensive, but most people can make do with the Free version since it does what it advertises just fine in the free one :)

    Complaint #1 - I just got my HD Capture device in the mail, unpacked it and read the instructions... Then took out my WiiU console (Still a funny name by the way) and began hooking it up... Only to realize I left its HDMI cord on my shelf before we left ><

    I'm not sure if I need both HDMI cords however. It says to hook up one to the console and the HDMI Input, and then the other into the HDMI Output and then into the monitor/PC you intend to use... But I'm wondering, can it still work with just one? Will it still record and yadda...
    My guess is it will record, but you'd be playing blind so to speak.

    This won't matter much for Mario Kart 8 or Super Smash Brothers 4, since those can be played on the WiiU's Gamepad screen just fine. Don't need to even have a TV hooked up at all!
    However, all the other games I have the actual gameplay takes place on the TV monitor - as is tradition for videogames I guess %-P
    So those at the very least will have to wait until Sunday earliest when I head back home after work days are over.

    Complaint #2 - There are fleas in my room I'm staying in :blank:
    Cat brought them in when I would let her out at night, then they got into the carpet, and we weren't able to get the room cleared last week... And we forgot this week. I only got a personal reminder from the fleas about their presence after I got back >_>

    Be sure to get it straight from the manufacturer piriform.com not some 3rd party questionable freeware distribution site. I've seen it at other sites but when getting software especially freeware I always try to find the original manufacturer's site or one that they clearly authorize.

    Fleas. I hate fleas. I wouldn't have a dog now if you paid me. I love cats but only indoor cats or outdoor cats, none of this please come in but leave your fleas outside arrangements. They just don't seem to understand. And the idea of forcing them to wear carcinogenic poisons around their neck kinda turns me off too. Come to think of it what the heck am I doing living next to a farm? There's all sorts of critters over there and some of them have parasites that fly and bite and the animals bleat and crap in front of my kitchen window and they all smell like animals. Ah yes, I'm remembering why I hate spring, it's the beginning of the stinky season. Winter may be miserable and cold but at least it doesn't stink.

    I am now off that stupid medicine but waiting for the symptoms go away. I want my good vision to come back, my mouth not feeling dry and not be so clumsy.

    What company sells the domains the cheapest but still good to use on a server that is controlled by someone else?

    I use DomainDiscover (www.domaindiscover.com), not the absolute cheapest ( think GoDaddy is cheaper), but customer support is fantastic.

    FREE LUNCH! :cheese: :cheese:

    Our factory reached a safety milestone, so it was burgers and hot dogs and chips and a drink for everyone!

    I had one hot dog and one double-beef burger, bottled water, and sour cream and onion chips.

    I'm TOTALLY stuffed. :sick:

    I need a nap now sssssssssnnnnnnnnnnzzzzzzzzzzzz...

    When the waitress keeps coming by your table and warming your half drunk cup of coffee it's not called a "Refill" any more. It's a "Java Update".
