Another Week

May 17th, 2004

So begins another work week today is going to be one of those days. You know how sometimes when you wake up and get ready, you just know that it is going to be one of those days where the shit seems to pile up. Anyway so far so good here it’s a pretty quiet morning. Yesterday was a relax day, mostly just hung around the house drinking bloody marys (they own). I also spent some time working on PSU, as well as some pictures we are sending north to Jenny’s family so they can get a sense of what it’s like down here. This afternoon I am headed north to New Hampshire for a few of my calls, maybe they will be quickies so I can get home early :p

This morning I saw ANOTHER Ferrari on the way to work. I swear there is far to much money in this town I work in. I’ve seen a bunch of Ferraris in the past couple weeks. In any case this week is going to be an eventful week. I have some things lined up on PSU as well as “real life” that are going to be interesting. Until tomorrow, this is Hamma signing off :P

Ugh

May 16th, 2004

I love Sunday and I hate Sunday on the bright side its a day off. But on the flip side it means the weekend is almost over and its back to the grind tomorrow. Anyway yesterday was a great day Jenny was roasting alive because she is not used to this heat at all lol. I was right in my element however I love the warm weather and I wish it was warm year round. We went out and took a walk around the local lake, and even took some pictures.

Then we went out to catch Troy, I must say I was a little skeptical going in, I wasn’t really sure if they would do the story justice. But I was pleasantly surprised as it turned out to be a really good movie. I am no critic by any means but they did a good job with the story and squeezing a 10 year war into 2.5 hours or so. So if you are thinking about going to see it, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Well worth the admission price to check it out!

that’s about it for today, I am catching up on some PSU admin stuff, and I am also working on some things to make PSU a more secure and better place. This week is our big dev interview, one year since the release of PlanetSide. Can’t wait for that show I know it will be a great one!

Weekend At Last

May 15th, 2004

So its a warm humid Saturday outside today. Myself and Jenny are planning on going out to see Troy at 1:15PM, I can’t wait to wade through the massive zerg of people! Last night was quite an adventure, we went out and came back to my cable being down. This was perfect timing because AGN community night was supposed to be starting. So began the tug of war with Comcast tech support. Finally after some time yelling at them I was able to get back up and running for the end of community night.

This evening we are going up to my cousins to hang out, eat, and drink. My cousin is a huge nascar fan so he is having a shindig for tonight’s race, and who am I to turn down a BBQ and beer? Anyways, be sure to check out the forums as I have a new sig and avatar courtesy of martyr and Ouroboros. Also Jenny and martyrs blogs are now online so go check those out!

Friday Ranting

May 14th, 2004

Well it’s FINALLY Friday here, I can’t tell you how much I have been looking forward to the end of this week :p Still no big news reguarding PlanetSide out of E3 however I suspect that we should hear something today since Spork is going to be there. Yesterday was a semi blah day not a ton happened in the world of Hamma Time. We caught the last episode of Survivor where they gave away one million dollars to someone America selected. As I suspected it ended up being Rupert. Man that guy needs to shave his head and face he looks like a wild animal. I was hoping for Boston Rob myself the good home town boy who played the game the best of them all.

Anyway, I figured I would get to a quick rant this morning. As many of you may or may not know there was a hot girls forum on PSU. I closed this forum last week due to angry emails from porn sites. There is this one site who has persisted in emailing myself and other members of the staff (Right up until last night belive it or not.) complaining that his content was being “stolen”. I’ve got some news for those of you out there who host a porn or picture site. If you haven’t noticed by now people think that everything on the internet should be free this includes pictures, software, etc. So if you are running a site that has pictures that people want They will be linked. There are ways to disable linking from outside servers, that would be my best advice to those who are angry. Either way, the hot girls forum is gone and will probably never return. I don’t have the time to deal with angry porn site administrators.

So Close Yet so Far

May 13th, 2004

Well its Thursday – Friday is so damn close I can taste it. Another day at the grind today, probably driving all over Northern Masschusetts. Last night a bunch of DragonWolves got together to continue discussing the CDL Rally 2004. Last years rally took place in Orlando, FL and this years rally will be at the same place. We had a blast last year meeting everyone we had been gaming with for several years and this year promises an even larger turnout. This year Jenny will be coming along with me, she’s never been on a plane so it should be a fun and interesing experience all around :P We hit up the major theme parks usually Orlando is a pretty crazy city. It’s amazing how many square miles of hotels and theme parks there are down there.

Well, that’s about it for this AM. Hopefully today we will start seeing some PlanetSide news come from E3!

Morning Ranting

May 12th, 2004

This morning I had to be to work a half an hour normal than normal. It usually takes around 30 minutes to get to work, so I figured I would leave an hour early and I would be fine. Well that wasnt the case and it took me almost 50 MINUTES to get to work. The traffic started backing up no more than 5 minutes away from my house. I can’t wait to get a job closer so I dont’t have to deal with this bull anymore :P

Yesterday afternoon was rather interesting I got home to a flooded basement. So myself and Jen busted out the wetvac to get rid of the water. Apparently when we take a shower the water just pools in the basement rather than going away like it should. Anyway, the wetvac sprung a leak at some point and just started pouring the water out on the floor as fast as it was vaccumed up. After supper we decided to go have an ice cream, this plan was thwarted however when there was no parking at the ice cream place, and the line was to the road. This tends to happen on the first hot days of the season around here. Everyone and their mom and their moms mom decides they want to go get an ice cream.

Finally, today is the official public start of the E3 Expo. There is always some great annoucments that come out of this, I am really looking forward to it as I do every year. Sporkfire even hinted that there would be some PS news coming out. If I was to venture a personal guess I would say we can expect to hear about a new distribution of PS, that includes the patched up to date client. This would be a good move as when you buy the game now you are in for a looong patch process. ;)

Hot as Hell

May 11th, 2004

Well its Tuesday and I really don’t want to be here at work. Its hot as hell outside for this time of year – around 80 degrees expected to bump to around 90. To add insult to injury it’s also humid as hell. Been a so-so day so far here nothing exciting to report other than the fact that I have to drive all around today on work calls. I don’t know how some people can do all this driving I know it isnt for me.

I’ve also appointed the new moderators at PSU, Ouroboros, Ivan, and Onemanarmy. So keep an eye out for those guys :p last but not least I have put up a link to the other staff blogs on the main site. Marsman and Strygun have setup their blogs.

Stuffed

May 11th, 2004

Another Monday draws to a close. Myself and Jenny went out for a bite to eat at the Texas Roadhouse. Man they have some great ribs and chicken :p We could barely move when we left.

On another note I have selected the night shift moderators for PSU. I think we made some pretty strong choices, you guys will be hearing about that later tonight or tomorrow.
