The ducks are planning something. You can see it in their beady little eyes!
*edit*
This duck is version 4. I learned how to do little animations in Gimp today. It was fun. I am actually quite proud of myself for having the duck sit on the wavy water like that. It was difficult to figure that one out at first.

Triple post. Haven't done one of these in a long time.
I got the job. I start August 4th. Its a good raise, MUCH better benefits. It should be a must less stressful environment. I hope it will be fun.
I sort of also applied at Blizzard Entertainment in Austin. They are looking for an Analyst for their center there. Its totally my mine of work. I wouldn't mind relocating down to Austin either. I am sure it is a lot harder to get on at Blizzard but OMG I would LOVE to work there.
We shall see.

Oh that would be neat, working at Blizzard. I applied for a job as a game tester for BioWare here in Edmonton but I didn't get a call back.

Way to go Kik! Blizzard would be a dream, but it would mean relocation. Would mom be ok with that? how bout bryce? I am so happy you will be in a job that is less stressful. The money will help, but less stressful will be the key item in that job.
Me? nothing. I am up to nothing. I rarely play any games. PC, or PS anything. not much Wii either. Just been living RL, and going from one task to the next. Maybe its time I tried to pick up a controller. I had dreams on a PS3, but if I am not playing...what is the point of spending all that money? Maybe cause its a blu ray? Lets see what Santa brings. The weather has been wild here. Cold and rainy one day, and hot and humid the next. Loads of folks are sick round here, and I have been avoiding most of um. At least my garden looks good.

Thanks Steph, Thanks Dejibo! Had a great birthday. Dad fixed a great meal (one of my favorites-chicken fingers, potato sald) and had a great desert (chocolate cheese cake! mmm). Also, got plenty of books for my b-day and watched tv (saw the excellent show Burn Notice). So, ya, I'm pretty happy right now. Not much going on, but you know, thats ok with me. Its nice. We are going to see the new Harry Potter next week though! Looking forward to it. In other "news", still playing Animal Crossing: City Folk, though maybe not as much as usual. The folks are still very addicted to it, but, I don't know. I love the game, but I want to play something else too. Definitly looking forward to Tales of Monkey Island for Wiiware on Monday! Nothing else to report. I go back to college in August. So, not much more vacation time left. Thats ok though. Should be an interesting semster coming up. Plus, got some games I gotta get this Fall. Like Scribblenaughts (DS), New Mario Bros (Wii), and Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time (PS3). DF2506

Guy called me yesterday and asked me to update a website I did for him early last year. Quick, 15 minutes worth of work for $20. Can't beat that.

I need computer help. I am pretty freakin pissed right here.
Windows did an auto update this morning which is normal. It kept pestering me to restart my computer. I was going to wait but since my computer was already running a little slow I figured it couldn't hurt. Well when it restarts the resolution is lowered big time. I usually have it maxed 1900 x 1024 I think? I can't remember the exact res. I think that was it. Anyways, my computer restarted at 1024 x 768 and its stuck there. I went to change the rez by right clicking the desktop and going personlize etc. but the little slider bar does not go higher than 1024 x 768. How do I get it higher?
EDIT>> OMFG, even WoW won't let me go higher. THis is fucking pissing me off

I would say find out what your graphics card is and try downloading the latest drivers for it.
I have never had this problem, but that would be my first guess. Somehow Windows haa messed your display drivers up and is now not recognising that your graphics card can support a better res.
Try that and let us know how you get on.

If the drivers doesn't work, you'll have to contact MS's tech help and have them lead you through uninstalling their most current update. Unless you have the computer save backup states, and just do a rollback. Always look at what windows wants to update. If it's not a security fix or a malicious software removal tool, I don't let it install. It does eventually get pissed off at you for doing that, but now you're learning why people turn Windows updates off entirely.

Yeah well you all remembered what happened to me, I got pwn'd by a hardware update from Microsoft. I have it set to tell me when I can download, then I review the updates.
Can't really suggest anything that hasn't already been said to fix your problem...

Microsoft will try to update your video drivers by itself. NEVER LET IT DO THIS! IT updated my dads video to drivers that were 4 years old.
so it basically wiped your drivers and now your monitor doesn't know how to resize it.
Just simply download new ones. I suggest guru3d.com to get your latest drivers. Just don't get Beta drivers.
I can find the specific link for you if you tell me what your video card.
