Well this weekend wasn’t too bad, Amor, Angel and myself did some assaults, specifically Golden Salvage. I got 1100 twice then 1000 assault points on the last. The ??? spoils were pretty crappy did get a fishing rod but still blah. Got some hi-pots and tanks also. Please be sure to check out the FFXIclopedia, I contribute to this site via donations and articles/corrections/etc and think its a wonderful idea. I also think it’s probably a better source for information as it has more sources than the other sites so it can be confirmed quicker than the others.

I also came across this which looks pretty neat, it changes to look of chests so that they’re more visable and all that looks pretty cool but probably risky or something.

I’ve also got a GeForce 7600 on the way to replace the ATI x700 that I’ve been using (which had been in my Dell that was my original FFXI machine which is typically my only game I play on pc). So hopefully it’ll be a good card, I’ve always liked nvidea stuff since voodoo stuff went away (and wow I think I still have my old voodoo 3 cards around here somewhere). This is the exact card actually, I had thought it was one of the Xfx but was wrong so hopefully the Pny cards are ok.

Two good House episodes were on tonight. First up was “Hunting” which I missed out on the first 10-20 minutes of but it was pretty good. Second episode was “The Mistake“. Both episodes were good though the 2nd lost half a star cause it just really didn’t do much for me. Focused more on the sue the shit out of House and focus more on running around playing mind games about whos telling the truth and what is really lies and what isn’t.
According to Fox, September 5th all new episodes of House will be starting so can’t wait, hopefully I’ll have some sort of Tivo then (I already have Tivo on my Directv but I don’t get local channels on there but I may have by then but if we dont keep directv then I need to get a tivo box for just cable by then but whatever).

Mother, Adam and myself went to walmart earlier and I had a check from grandma so I could pick up some printer paper and some other things so got to checkout and such everything was fine etc but the check wasnt reading right which happens but then I got asked if I was either of the names on the account which occasionally happens but then they said I couldnt do that, my mom IS on the account so she is authorized by the bank to use the checks but walmart said no though the bank says YES. The stuff these stores are doing now to “prevent” fraud is really starting to piss me off bad… first of all, according to studies if checks are stolen and going to be used they are going to try to be used in places where they wouldn’t need an ID OR if they need an ID the person is going to have an forged ID that MATCHES the name on the check. Well my name is NOT the same name on the checks but my last name is the SAME. The Memo area on the check has my name in it though in handwriting of my grandma which is very very different from mine. As for credit card fraud that can be different from retailer to retailer, some have where you swipe the card and sign and you’re done, others they take the card may notice the name if its a female name and you’re a guy they might get curious or soemthing. Some places want an ID to confirm and such. Easiest way to pay for stuff to avoid this hellish hassle is cash.. plain and simple cash. Even then there’s a minor problem sometimes but that takes few seconds to rub a stupid pen against the higher value paper to make sure its real but thats about it.

I’m also going to be doing more work on my Wiki so please go and register and play around please :) and go and play on the forums too :)
