Curt’s Basement

Well, for anyone interested in collecting armies for Warhammer 40k, here is a nice little site i stumbled across. The bonus tot his one is it is a Canadian based site, which means it is nice discounts on Canadian prices! Their prices seem to be on par with Le Valet although i am not sure what the shipping fee’s will be like.

Example: Battle for Maccrage originally $85, on this site it is $63.75

The site itself is very well done. It has some nice flare and design to it in the form of a fun themed medieval bazaar. Well worth the look. Just head over to the shopping section and click on the “Miniature games -> Warhammer 40k” sections.

Enjoy!

They have a store in Burlington Ontario!

If you’re like me and have an inordinate amount of MP3s sitting about, and alot of them have wrong or missing ID3 tags; then you’re in luck. There’s this nifty little application called Picard made by a site called MusicBrainz. You tell it where your music is, then let it loose on your collection. It’ll go through and find all the stuff that isn’t tagged correctly then it’ll query their servers and find out what artist, album, track number, etc; everything is. All you need to do after that is approve it’s suggestions and tada! A cleaned up music collection.

Check it out here: MusicBrainz Picard

I need the next expansion for Dawn of War…sigh.

When things start going well that is when you should start worrying…or atleast that is my experience, and once again it is proven correct. On Saturday i was shooting a wedding, my very first! I do not think i did a superb job or anything, but i don’t think i entirely sucked either. No matter how i look at it though it was a good experience. I did it for free as a favor, i mainly wanted the experience so i could get an idea of what it was like.

That being said, of course this means that during the reception my camera breaks. Not sure exactly what happened to it, but i have theories. One being it over heated and maybe it was a defective sensor/chip or something, but the sensor/chip fried…go me go!

Now i need to scrap something together while i wait the 4 weeks for the repair team to receive it, examine it, and then give me their verdict on what happens next. I am hoping i can somehow manage to swing picking up my Canon 40D…either way if i don’t get a camera soon i will end up failing my course! I have the worst luck. The shit is hitting the fan and i forgot to duck…

I realized much too late that I’d missed the Monday Music Video for last week, so I made sure that I had it ready on time this week and even set a reminder.

This one, while not usually my kind of music, is pretty catchy. Moreover, the video’s just plain cool.

So this is just incase you did not see my post in the shoutbox, Carl. I forgot that on Sunday i have a fundraiser bowl-a-thon to attend with Angie. I agreed to this last month, this is how i forgot about it, so i will have to postpone our outing to Le Valet tomorrow.

Maybe we can reschedule it for next weekend. Seems everytime i want to go something gets int he way!

I’ve updated Wordpress to the new version 2.5.1 and so far so good. The only issue we’ve got so far, as you might’ve noticed, is that the shoutbox isn’t working. I’m aware of the issue and am working to fix it. If all else fails, I’ll just have to find a different one to use or *gasp* we can communicate solely through posts!

Update: After poking around for a bit, I’m beginning to think I should just leave the Shoutbox off. It hasn’t been updated since last year and has some unaddressed vulnerabilities. Added to that, it seems to have some issues with Wordpress 2.5, so I’m beginning to see a pattern here.

All that said, I think I might see about finally updating the theme that the page is using and maybe finding some other nifty plugins and widgets that might be handy.

Oh, also before I go, I’ve changed the permalink structure so it’s in semi-plain-english rather than using the ?p=123 structure. Some of the older inter-page links might bust, but I don’t care too much.

I wonder if it will be as good as The Evil Dead musical. Seems like it could be some good old toxic fun.

I think I missed the boat back in the day when this game came out and while the concept is interesting enough, I find the gameplay less than stellar. That said, there are a number of people with a soft spot for the game. Well, their collective days have come! Splatterhouse is remade!
