Tuesday, May 31st, 2005WoW Screen Shots & Family Pix
Tuesday, May 31st, 2005I’ve finally managed to get the “image gallery” part of my site up and running. I’ve spent the last little bit uploading mine and Farrah’s pictures from our wedding (June 11, 2004) and our honeymoon in the Bahamas.
I’ve also made a section for World of Warcraft screenshots.
Stay tuned, I’ll be adding more pictures and images as time goes on. 
Remove OCC URL Redirect
Tuesday, May 31st, 2005I started playing around with JavaScript today for the sole purpose of creating some OCC related UserJS files for Opera. Since I’m new to JavaScript, what better way to learn than by example. 
I found a “No Middle Man” script which basically removes all URL redirect, including the one used by OverclockersClub.com. Well, I didn’t see a reason to remove all, though I suppose some people would, so I took the script, modified it to work with only OCC, and posted it back on the web.
The whole purpose of the script is to remove the “http://www.overclockersclub.com/link/?” from the beginning of all URLs.
Since the “http://www.overclockersclub.com/link/?” was added to external URLs, I’ve seen a few complaints about it. I’ve seen both sides of the fence, the reason LinuXProX added the redirect and I’ve also seen the problems caused by it. So, I created a fix.

God of War
Tuesday, May 31st, 2005I picked up God of War for my PS2 the other day and have hardly been able to put it down. It’s more than just a kick ass Action/RPG game. There are a series of puzzles and quick moves involved as well.
If anyone remembers the arcade game, Die Hard, there were places in the game where you would have to move the joystick or press a button in order to avoid certain obstacles. God of War has taken that to the next level.
Blood, guts, daemons, boobs, and Greek mythology, what else do you need? :p

The Contender
Wednesday, May 25th, 2005When I first heard about the new contest being created by Mark Burnett, the guy behind Survivor and The Apprentice, I thought that The Contender was going to suck.
I didn’t watch the first episode of it, but heard a lot of good things about it on the radio the next day. Intrigued, I decided to watch the second fight. That’s all it took, and I was hooked. This show kicked ass.
Last night was the season finally, live from Las Vegas, NV. The two televised fights were great. Though my pick didn’t make it to the final match, or even win his bout that night, it was still very enjoyable.
Congratulations to Sergio for becoming the first contender.
Now word yet if we’ll get a Contender 2, I’m hoping there is one.
