Fated Strife

Can’t stay but a minute cause I need at least a few hours of sleep.
Got call from doctors office yesterday afternoon telling me that instead of my iron shots and picking up B12 shot stuff today I am to instead be there at 9am to start an iron infusion.

I knew about the infusion for awhile but they showed no signs of scheduling it until yesterday out of nowhere.
So hopefully this will help get my iron reserves filled back up and keep my anemia away. Possibly also leaving out any nasty allergic reactions or such.

I’ve updated my blog and some other software on the server past few days. New look (which isn’t final still), upgraded the blogging software, also updated the contact page above as the old script I was using well was old and outdated so just used one of the WP plugins available.

Same stuff on FFXI as always. Xbox 360 is nice, puts out some heat though in the back (measured up to 108F, need to find laser thermometer and see what its getting) planning to put a small fan back there anyway to keep that part of equipment area cool. Xbox live is nice, the xbox live arcade though… I have become addicted to hexic and a few other games on there. Basically puzzle like games but they are awesome.

I’ve had a few people related to microsoft/xbox breeze through my blog too apparently so thats always a plus, never thought that would happen.

That’s all for now, must get 4 hours sleep. Zzzzz

New update to the dashboard today, had just finished playing some games and noticed I wasn’t logged on. So signed back in and saw it had a new update.

According to the Xbox.com news it does the following:

Well I found this via Major Nelson’s blog. Looks like something I’ll have to pick up.

Xbox 360 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

Well it arrived today, was a pretty heavy box at that too. Here is a picture:


I went out this morning to Best Buy over in Johnson City. Was looking for a hard drive for it but they were sold out (alot of places are for some reason) and didn’t want to spend the money on the component cables for it so picked up a memory card so that I can visit the kiosks to get new features and stuff on it. Went by Toys-R-Us but they had no kiosk, they did though have 2 hard drives on sale but couldn’t get as it was $100. Then to Barnes and Noble and got some tea and looked around. Finally got back to Kingsport and stopped by Gamestop and got some downloads from theirs. Picked up that blue faceplate also that you see in the picture.

Came home and setup system and playing FFXI.
