I've been... around. Hanging around my deviantART more often :)

I'm doing quite well, thank you.

Last week, my brother gave me a PS3... a broken PS3. So I went on eBay and bought a $30 power supply replacement, and it works again. Only problems: no games, no controllers. So a few hours ago, I hopped back on eBay in search of a controller (pretty tedious to sort through the 3rd party Chinese stuff), and found a Buy It Now for $41.98, free shipping. The best part wasn't just the price ($1 lower than Amazon), but the fact that it's Ceramic White [link], which is only available in Japan. They fetch for ~$60 elsewhere.

It's being shipped from Asia as we speak :)

*bad grammar*

Yay! I loves the ps3!

*end of bad grammar*

Cheers to your ps3!

*edit*

Madjiks back! yay! hi Madjik! i remember you! ...godd times

You should get the Win7 theme for XP. Then get the rest of Win7. Then uninstall XP. Then it'll really look nice. ~ David Atwell

haha, the ruddenet

and im an australia high school student.

you know, in the 58billion dollar deficit times of aus, k rudd i DOUBT will keep his promise.

its going to take years to get rid of the debt.

anyways, it was a modified ubuntu; "EDUbuntu" >_>

lenovo took the contract for 50 million dollars, to design the notebooks, which are basically netbooks.

so lenovo + 500$ that its worth + edubuntu + locked into DET network + since its det network, mosy sites will be blocked. = fail

dont have high expectations for the crappy lappys from the government, because they probably wont come, and even if tehy do, they wont be very useful other than actual schoolwork D;

Wohooo hold on a second!

unbuntu = sheer awesomeness.

edubuntu = well... i never tried it, but probably sheer awfulness.

that said, I give it a week before someone finds out how to format it or at least unblock it. for all I know, booting on a simple live CD might just do the job (i sense backtrack CDs) and then format it to whatever you'd like.

The primary goal of Edubuntu is to enable an educator with limited technical knowledge and skills to set up a computer lab or an on-line learning environment in an hour or less and then effectively administer that environment.

The principal design goals of Edubuntu are centralized management of configuration, users and processes, together with facilities for working collaboratively in a classroom setting. Equally important is the gathering together of the best available free software and digital materials for education.

It also aims to allow resource-poor environments to maximize their available (older) equipment.

You scare me sometimes...
Wait until you see me wielding a trowel...

I read that and thought you had said "towel," in reference to Towel Day. :-P

 

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

Due to the half-term holidays being quite boring, I think I may dig up some of the web-based creations from the former Monthly Skinning Competitions and turn them into workable themes :)

----------------------------------------

I'd either do the winner from the "Rick's Blog" competition, http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii14 ... ogskin.png ;

or do a forum skin from the winner of the forum skinning competition, http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z2/x ... umSkin.png

----------------------------------------

Either way, it allows me to learn something new to do with web design :)

The Zune HD has been officially announced! Soooo sexy, I'm getting it! :shock: :o

Yeah, I heard about that from both Lifehacker and Gizmodo. It sounds very cool, but I don't have an Xbox :( I wonder if Sony will be making a new mp3 player to compete with Microsoft and Apple. :?: If so, I hope it can share stuff with the PS3 ;)
