For the past few month’s there has been one major project that I’ve been working on. I’m proud to announce that everything went without a hitch. There were a few power issues and the record high temperatures outside made it a little less comfortable than many would have liked. But overall everyone had a great time. There are some photo’s of the event after the break

This morning was going to be such a great morning. My allergies were not bothering me yet and sun was out. The drive to work was enjoyable. Even the first few minutes of my day had been going well, that is until my boss called me to the conference room. It did not take me long to figure out what was going on. People usually only get called to the conference room for one reason and this time my card was up.
Alarms were set, Agenda’s cleared. I had plans for a sat night and not one of them included going out. Last year Microsoft announced the new Xbox Primetime service. The service would be included for free to all Gold subscribers. After missing my opportunity for the first US beta on June 1st I would not forget this one.
Let’s face it, Social media has overtaken every aspect of our lives. Ever since I joined the Twitter drones It’s been a very active part of my life. Even as much as I’ve become addicted to the hundreds of would-be internet friends, for the most part social media has been a toy. But today I’ve set out to correct that. My good friend Zac sent me an invite to LinkedIn. I will have to admit that the first thought to cross my mind was “oh no, not another social networking site! I can barely keep up with the ones I’ve got!”
First off. We will not delve into the reasons one would want to play this game over hamachi. Only how to do it. You will need to know some basic computer knowledge such as how to edit your registry, copy and paste. and what an IP is. If you do not know this much. Perhaps hamachi is not for you.
I just wanted to post a quick note and thank everyone who made last week’s #tulsatweetup possible. Thanks goes out to @ibspoof for organizing it. @MarshallBrewing for hosting it, as well as @JoeMammasTulsa for hosting the after party. I brought my camera along and was able to snap a few photo’s. Also if you have photo’s of the event and would like to share feel free to link them in the comments.
Have you ever wished that you could turn your PC into a DVR without all the hassle of messing with a TV tuner, setting up timers to record your favorite show, or worse of all this time of year, having your favorite show interrupted by a local weather warning? If you have answered YES to any of those questions then you are going to love this.
Set in the endless depth of space X3 Terran conflict is filled with many interesting possibilities. You are given the opportunity to get behind the helm of a space fighter or should you choose to take the slower route, pilot a lumbering freighter. Depending on your temperament you can lead an action packed adventure of dogfighting and survival or nerd it up in a world of exploration and trade. X3 is a dark world filled with with human and alien civilizations each with their own personalities. To make matters worse a deadly technology has once again been unleashed upon the universe.
For those of you who do not know the history behind the Red Alert series, allow me to recap. In the first game, Albert Einstein constructed a time machine so that he could travel back in time to murder Adolf Hitler, and as a result prevented World War II. An unexpected outcome of this action was the battle between the Allied Nations and the USSR, though the end the Allies won and the USSR became a vassal state. In the second game, the USSR is hell-bent on reclaiming its former status. To make a long story short, they fail to do so. The third installment begins as Premier Romanov is captured by the Allies and two of his leading officers decide to use their own version of the Allies time travel technology. They travel back to the 1920’s and kill Dr. Einstein, meaning the events of the previous two games never happened. Hitler could not die because Dr. Einstein could not kill him. If World War II were to have gone on as normal without Einstein, there also may not have been an atomic bomb, so it comes as no surprise that the Japanese became the third superpower in the Red Alert universe.
Everyone has his/her game, For most its shooters, for many others role-playing, and for a brave few it’s all about turn based strategy. Civilization 4 is definitely not everyones game. The game is slow paced, and possibly to the average gamer a complete bore fest. I have spent quite a few hours playing shooters, and role playing games, so I thought it was time for a change of pace. What else is there to do but try out the latest Civilization game? I had been hooked on the series since I played CivII on one of my first computers. The gameplay is addicting, and at times utterly frustrating.
