That won't do, I guess I have to try harder then.

Finally managed to get that stupid "Vista Home Security 2012" virus off my computer last night. By downloading a registry file from the internet on a (hopefully) safe computer away from home and adding it to my computer, I was able to begin executing programs again. I booted to safe mode and the virus did not execute this time. Previously, the virus loaded even when I booted in safe mode. After attempting to run System Restore several times, it finally loaded. I traveled back in time to yesterday and then ran a full virus scan.
Jeremiah came over here yesterday. We've been trying to forward my ports for months but with no success. His parents (he still lives in a cabin separate from their house. He's 21. I guess he just likes the free internet) recently downgraded to the same internet that we have, so their internet "totally blows" now. On the bright side, he had to figure out how to port forward with pretty much the same modem/router setup as we have. So it should be easy to do it again at my place right?

Wrong.

It took him from like 6:00 pm to nearly 3:00 am to figure it out. A few hours after he began...
"I don't understand! I'm configuring this using the same process as when I configured it at my house and it works there!"

a few hours later...
"o my god wat the **** is this ****!?"

a few hours later...
"i'm gonna go outside and smoke a cigarette"

a few hours later...
"I don't think it's the modem. I think your computer is just being a total *****."

You get the picture. no matter what he did, uTorrent said the port was closed. port forward checker said Hamachi's port was also closed.

Eventually, he connected the modem to his laptop and configured it on his computer. uTorrent said the port was open. He forwarded the port for Hamachi and checked it with the port forward checker. That one was open too. But when he connected the modem back to my computer, both ports were closed. I believed he disabled a bunch of programs that ran on startup, and that was how he eventually got the ports to be open. We don't know which one was screwing us over but it's fixed now.
While he was over here I finally managed to get USB Loader GX to work.... somehow. All I know is I screwed around with the cIOS's some more. But I don't think I could do it over again even if my life depended on it.

Came home. Slept. Wake up. Work in two hours
My demeanor is slowly starting to degrade to the point I might snap and legitimately kill someone

Work less hours. (If you need the money, actively try and look for a better paying job you'd enjoy more.)

Or take a vacation, most jobs should offer you some sort of vacation time.

Just saw that new Sherlock Holmes movie.


Meh.

Entertaining, but not what I'd call good. Just "okay".

My game engine is too slow

I want to be able to fight 100 bugs at once, without the framerate getting too low. But right now, I get 4-7 fps when there are no ragdolls, and worse when there are. I'm thinking about ditching Bullet physics

Just resolved an internet connection problem. Woo.

Hey, British people, a question for ya:

How much does a season boxset of Doctor Who cost over there? Because the ones available in America are ridiculously expensive.

I'd like to work less hours, but unfortunately, I'm one of two people (the second person isn't a permanent dishwasher either) who work in Hobart for closes
This is a six day work week for me, luckily I get a break Tuesday promptly following the worlds most ridiculous weekend. I was very close to stabbing someone in the eye with a fork, getting myself fired, and going to that crazy house next to the hospital for a few months

Anything from £7 to £20 depending on the store and if it's in a sale or not.

... which based on exchange rates the past couple years would seem to come out to about $10-to-$30.

Yeah, we're getting hosed over here. It's like the stamp act of '65 all over again, guys. We should really dress up as racist caricatures and commit piracy against British-flagged commercial naval vessels. (They'll never see it coming!)

I cannot say more.

That's what you colonials get for breaking away from the loving bosom of great Britannia. No one to blame but your tax dodging selves. *Trolface*

Should be a way to use the OS clock to time your functions, so you can figure out where the trouble spots are.

I really don't think the bullet physics are something you should ditch... maybe your having issues with the rendering engine i.e. not culling efficiently.

Hm... I'ma make a topic in the "Programming" board and link to it once it's posted.

Edit: done

[Firstdragon34]

I'm just about finished with Inheiritance by Christopher Paolini. I hope at the end Eragon kisses Arya! GAH! Do it man! DO IT! 

[Klaustrophobia]

winter classic was a good game.  even though the players were kinda being whiney douches.

[Dark Hunter]

$10-to-$30.

I figured as much. I just bought Series 1, the only one I was missing from Nu Who, for $55, and that was on sale.

Even anime purchases aren't usually that ridiculous.

[Klaustrophobia]

TV box sets are always insanely expensive.  i don't know how the hell they sell any of them.
