Movie Review / Zero Dark 30
« on: March 10, 2013, 07:59:44 PM »
Two thumbs up! 8)

I wasn't quite sure what Zero Dark Thirty was about prior to watching it. I thought it was going to be a horror movie...

I almost turned the movie off during the first two minutes because it's hard to sit through but I'm so glad I didn't.

Anyone who gets the opportunity check it out!

Just found out about Open Hardware Monitor this evening and thought I'd share for those who don't know about it.

Nice little program! :)

Hardware Design / Home Theater Projectors
« on: January 21, 2012, 08:52:28 PM »
Greetings Gurus and fellow Geeks! :)

I have come once again to ScriptUO seeking to find the answer to life's mysteries. I know if I am to find an answer it must be here at ScriptUO where the brightest minds gather to contemplate the mysteries of the universe.

So the big question....

Has anyone dabbled with Home Theater Projectors hooking up to a HTPC?

Do Home Theater Projectors blow the doors off a HDTV or what?

What's the verdict?

Pros & Cons?

How do you hook it up? HDMI?

So many questions...

 ;)

Off Topic / Anyone ever had a root canal done?
« on: November 15, 2011, 05:30:49 PM »
I've been in agonizing pain the past 3 days with a toothache that's become infected and spread to my jaw. I was hoping the tooth would just fall out and I'd be done with it but such isn't the case.

After doing some research on the internet it looked like a root canal is what was going to be needed and my visit to the Dentist today confirmed it.

They want to do it Thursday...

I might have to shop around for a better price since I'm an unemployed student and everything will be out of pocket.

Has anyone here ever had a root canal done? Did it hurt like hell?

They also want to pull my wisdom teeth...

Things to look forward to.

I imagine it can be much worse than the pain I'm in now. Once a tooth becomes infected it's hurts like a mother let me tell you. I don't know how much worse it can get. ???

Script Debug / Fish Cut Up Sub ( Please Critique)
« on: October 08, 2011, 12:12:16 PM »
This is the code I incorporated into the FaFer to cut up the fish. It's working 90% of the time but it hangs every once in a while for some reason. I could have make a mistake with one of the FISH IDs or it could be the 200 ms Ping that is creating hiccups.  Sometimes I get the message "Use this on corpse to carve away meat and hide".

I'm happy with it but it's not 100%. It could have to do with where I placed it in the script...

I pieced it together looking at some of C2's code. Anything stand out at first glance?

Code: [Select]

finditem %knife C_ , #backpackid
    set #lobjectid #findid
    event macro 17
    target
    finditem %fish C_ , #backpackid
    set #ltargetid #findid
    set #ltargetkind 1
    event macro 22
    wait 8

Television/Movies / Iron Clad
« on: September 29, 2011, 10:49:25 PM »
Watched this the other night streaming on netflix and was pleasantly surprised. Some graphics battle scenes and Siege warfare which is how I like my movies.

No cheesy flying in the air scenes like I'm seeing in all these movies coming out the past few years since Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

That's why I really loved John Milius's Conan the Barbarian and John Boorman's Excalibur (Which I consider the 2 greatest Sword and Sorcery Films Ever) because they weren't phony in their battle scenes. Iron Clad while not quite on that level of those, nothing is, was very good and worth watching.

Brian Cox was in the film if anyone is a fan of him (Troy, Braveheart)

Based on an events surrounding the Magna Carta.

Television/Movies / To Blu Ray or not to Blu Ray!? Is it worth it?
« on: September 29, 2011, 10:27:02 AM »
Over the past few years I've lost alot of movies and programs I've had recorded on my DVR's due to hard drive failure and just recently having to return my DVR to Direct TV when cancelling the service. So I want to start archiving movies onto an external HDD and have been researching the process. If I start arching the question is should I go with  the latest technology since Blu Ray won the 'war'?

Is Blu Ray worth it? Is the picture quality that much better (I've never been able to compare).

What's all involved in the process?

If we have any experts here willing to offer up some advice I'm all ears. I'll continue to do more research on my own but I always come to ScriptUO to consult with my fellow geeks and nerds first! ;)

Here are some questions I have from the little research I've done it seems it's not a simple process.

1) Windows 7 Media Player won't run Blu Ray because it doesn't have the proper codecs but VLC will? Is that right?

2) Once you rip the blu ray you have to convert it to be able to play it back? Is there any software that rips the Blu Ray and allows you to watch it directly without converting?

3) If I'm ripping or playing back Blu Ray are HMDI cables a must have?

I'm just looking to be able to play movies off an external HDD from time to time.

Script Debug / Blackrock in the trash.
« on: September 23, 2011, 06:24:42 PM »
Trying to code a script to pick Blackrock off the ground into a trash barrel but it will only pick it up not toss in the trashcan. As you can tell by the looks of it this is a very complicated script:

Code: [Select]
set %trashcan BKF
finditem UVF_GWF_FWF_EWF G_2
if #FINDCNT > 0
{
  event Drag #FINDID
  wait 15
  exevent dropc %trashcan
  wait 15

What am I missing? Something very simple I imagine. ???

Hardware Design / SSD Drives
« on: August 24, 2011, 06:47:49 PM »
Has anyone upgraded their hardware to include SSD drives and if so what type of performance boost or enhancements have they noticed if anything?

Does having an SSD improve gaming experience in any way?
