I want a cat! in Cats JoeUser Forums

I've grown up with cats all my life, I remember the first one we got when I was 3 years old, and just this past week my parents got another one, a wee little kitten they named "leelon" (after wee-one, I don't know how it is spelled). My mom is a crazy cat lady, haha. She opened a yarn store and named it after one of our cats, MewMew. But because he was older and she wanted to take him to the shop with her she got a new one and named it MewMew as well, which she trained to come and go to the s

Looks awesome! It took me forever to convince my boss that it would be way easier to rewrite to .net 2.0 then continually update a 1.1 app. Cant wait!

Reply to How old is too old for Trick or Treating? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

psh! your never too old to go trick or treating... some of us went out last year when I was 20... it was a blast... people thought it was funny and we kept hearing "arn't you too old to be trick or treating?" but they still gave us candy! Yea, we were in a college town though and the houses we went to were mostly college houses.... plus a lot of the time we ended up just going insi

Reply to Total Gaming and Parallels Desktop in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

What graphics care you have? I've got a macbook with the gma 950 and when I run parallels with dx on it crawls! If I turn of dx is runs fine so I just run parallels w/out dx and then if I need it I boot up into windows with boot camp. I think its awesome I can run the same windows on parallels/boot camp. I'm wondering how well multiplicity would run with coherenece, something I should try out if I get the chance, cause that could be awesome

Electropy limited beta available! in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Well we did it, we are finally releasing a limited beta of our first game, Electropy. It was a very long night and we learned a lot real fast about creating installation files, saving settings in users' settings and getting pissed at our web hosting for not allowing dmg files to be downloaded(for the Mac version). Electropy works on Windows and Mac, we hav

Reply to The Importance of Lists in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I came up with the exact same realization this week! At work, I get tons of e-mail requesting so much stuff, so I just flag it for follow up and if there it is *really* important I put a date on it and might add it to my calendar. Its been working really well for me at work, but I'm trying to get the same motivation for keeping track of school work and other things outside of work, the only problem is no one e-mails me asking me to do that st

Reply to 5 Mistakes Microsoft made with Windows Vista in Windows Vista JoeUser Forums

Ohh, I've been using Vista for so long now, we deployed it on some of our computers in my college's computer lab(where I work) when it was in beta(we like to be ahead of everyone else with all the new stuff)... we were some of the first to deploy it like that in a lab enviroment with people coming and going and spent a lot of time on the phone with microsoft, especialy with the roaming profiles. I'm losing this weekend trying to get permissions fixed

Reply to My Body is My Beaker in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Oh I know how that is, I have to take 10-15 pills a day and I'm only 21 due to crohn's. I used to not take anything, even pain killers, but now I have more drugs in my medicine cabinet than most 80 year olds... haha, I can't imagine how many I will have when I'm that age! I couldn't stand those fish pills, they made me burp all the time, smelled like fish!

Reply to So you want to make a game for the PS3... in Game Developers JoeUser Forums

My dad bought a PS3 just so he could play around with the processor... I don't think he has done much with it other than install Gentoo but I rented Oblivion once when I went back and he liked it so much he bought it... haha. I'm going to get a chance to do some programming on it when he sets me up an account on the network, should be fun!

Reply to Life as an Intern Game Developer at Stardock in Game Developers JoeUser Forums

haha, I have your terrain book, I havn't read it yet though, just used it mostly for reference... that's pretty funny about the English major... I was computer science but switched to Applied Computing Technology which is still computer science but has a lot of journalism and business in it... I just got tired of the way CS classes were taught and found I could learn much more and much faster on my own or while at work, so I might as well use

Reply to Why does an Atheist do what they do? in Religion JoeUser Forums

I think most atheists are actualy agnostic... I'm agnostic... I don't beleive in any certain god or think that any religion is correct... but I have hopes that there is something greater out there that hopefuly has a plan or something for existance... but its only a hope. I also really respect people that can have faith in their religion and arn't trying to impose it on others... I just can't do it, and I've seen friends go through so
