  • There goes my bandwidth... 2002-05-27 09:33:26 3 Days Ago... Bandwidth usage of zeroverge.com: 3 GB
    Good thing I finished my video just before the month ends. I only burnt 3GB of bandwidth this month.

    2 Days Ago... Bandwidth usage of zeroverge.com: 6 GB
    I shouldn't have encoded my vid at such high quality. I bet the downloads will drop after today.

    1 Day Ago... Bandwidth usage of zeroverge.com: 10 GB
    Oh no, I forgot tomorrow's a holiday. Nah, who would d/l AMVs on public holidays?

    Today... Bandwidth usage of zeroverge.com: 15 GB
    Please don't call, please don't call, please don't call, I don't want to look for another web host. 
  • Star Trek is BACK! 2002-01-13 07:18:46 Time passes. Emotions settle. At least I hope so.
    My friends played Star Trek CCG overnight at my place yesterday for a tournament. Long story. But i'll try to explain. The thing is, we started playing Trek like since we were 14 years of age. We were classmates and schoolmates. Kinda burned our allowances and ruined our grades but that's not the point.

    We did our own 'expansion' for personal play, catalogued every person who mattered in our school life, putting them into cards. We even had our own affiliation in the game.

    Two years later, at age 16, I left the group to erm, spend my time trying to understand girls. Note that I was in a boy's school since young until junior college. Then I found out girls were not meant to be understood. I learnt some lessons about matters of the heart, even though I had like no experience.

    Now I'm back, playing Trek, burning more cash and squeezing in time for AMVs and some card game concept to call my own. But I no longer feel frustrated.

    For some time, I searched for the elusive one whom I can give my heart to. I didn't realise the friends I had, nor the family that cared. (Hey, that rhymes! :P) I guess some things were meant to be, and not something we can all control. I still like her, and sometimes I can't control myself. I probably won't ever find someone like her ever again, but I'm sure that when the right one comes along, at least it will be a mutual feeling.

    Every now and then, someone special comes along and changes our lives, just like she did to mine. And I don't just mean simple crushes where you don't know why you even like the gal. I just hope I will realise that I can't hold on to some hope forever and that time will not pass each time that happens. Things happen for a reason and not everyone has the wisdom to figure out why.

     
  • Alpha and Omega 2001-12-28 04:48:10 Yay, I got the Alpha system working, but I have yet to get Omega running. Damn screwy computers, and damn Microsoft. If only they sold their stuff cheaper.

    Tried to find a number of backup programs but to no avail. Guess MS Backup 98 is the only option left.

    DVD ripping and conversion is a tad more difficult than I thought, there's like NOOOOOO software that converts DVDs straight to a nice *stable* format in which I can edit files in. Gordian Knot is probably the only one that comes close to ease of use, but my choices of codecs are limited. Cos uncompressed format is not working, and the rest just plain reduces quality. And AVI is not particularly the most stable format for Premiere.

    5000 dollars on equipment and I get an editing comp and a backup comp, sheesh.

    I'm beginning to feel demoralised, it's going to take a whole lot more HD space than I expect.

    Ad I can't believe I'm going to church. Sheesh, 11 years in a methodist school not once I even thought about Christianity. 
  • Finally up, but finally out 2001-12-22 00:03:34 Some guy must be using download accelerator on my site, because I get two hits and the next thing I know, I can't even access my website anymore. I wish people din't use DA to establish like 8 connections simultaneously because, well that really sucks and pisses me off.  
  • Stupid Account 2001-12-19 06:55:51 My account at my webhost has to be reset for the increase in webspace/change in account. So they had to change the password.
    The only way to send the new password is to my email. Unfortunately, my email is also managed by them. So when my account password is reset, so is my email. Now that my email password has been reset, I cannot get the email that tells me the password to get it. chicken and egg thingy. And I was so hoping to get the You're Under Arrest AMV up today.
