New theme! Bugs fixed! Things changed! lol

First of all, the most obvious is the new theme. It looks completely different from the previous skin (obviously.. :p ) Its a vista like theme.. lol I quite like it, and I think thats all that matters.. hehe. However theres a catch… First time users will see a white background, you can pick a wallpaper from the selection under the logo.. :p or you can change it (wallpapers are cookie based, which means when u reset your cookies, the wallpaper resets back to white.. :p )

Second of all, the bug fixed. previously we had problems with the anti-spam image not showing up hence people werent able to post because it kept bugging about the damn security code not being entered when you couldnt even see the damn thing.. lol It turned out to be the rating code thats causing this problem.. and hopefully its now fixed.. hehe.. if you notice any problems.. contact me about it. :)   So now this site should be spam free. hopfully.. lol.  Though users are now required to enter a security code when posting, its quite easy and its visible (at least it should be.  its been tested on 2 computers and it worked perfectly fine) :)
Last but not least. the gallery. Its using a new gallery script.. instead of Lazy-Gallery. its not Lazy-K-Gallery. lol.. Its much better haha

One thing that needs to be done now is the emoticons need to be transparent to black background and not white..  hehe
Thats all for now!

Laptop finally arrives!!!

Well, it actually arrived on Friday afternoon, but I’m just posting this now cause I had 2 days to play with it.. :p

The laptop I got was a Dell. (yes ITS A DELL!!) the Inspiron 6400. a 15.4″ Laptop which weights about 5-6 pounds.. it features Intel’s Core Duo T2050 1.66Ghz CPU with 2MB L2 Cache and 533Mhz FSB, I believe this model does not feature Intel’s VT, tho I could be wrong? The display was upgraded from standard 15.4″ WXGA to WSXGA+ UltraSharp with TrueLife (whatever that means.. lol) but the resolution is changed from being 1280×800 to 1680×1050, it features 60GB Hard Drive (it’s mainly for application files, documents and files would be located on a removeable 120GB notebook drive I got today @ Tigerdirect (for the enclosure) and CanadaComputer (for the drive). Memory wise, it features 2GBs of RAM (promotion of that time was free upgrade from 1GB to 2GB.) It comes with a DVD Burner, wireless (obviously). and unfortunantely. it only features Intel’s GMA950 video technology, upgrading the laptop with a video card like a Mobility X1300, X1400 or GeForce’s Go 7300TC wasn’t worth 100+ so yeah. I’m using Integrated Graphics Card, It can handel old games pretty well. Playes CS @ 1680×1050 without any lag, plays UT2004 at that resolution with settings @ normal without lag.. and plays CNC Generals Zero Hour without lag as well, so at least I have a few games I could play during my break in between classes.. :p
With a DVD Burner, I can not only play DVDs, I can also burn DVDs too.. :) The laptop comes with 4 USB ports, and a firewire 1394a (firewire 400). have yet to see a laptop (besides the macbook pro with firewire 1384b (firewire 800). it also comes with a slot known as the “ExpressCard” slot, audio and mic jack for headphones. and Media buttons located at the from of the laptop.

School Starts Tomorrow…

Its that time of year again when the summer holidays end and the time to education resumes. Except this time, its no longer High School but College. First day of college and it’s in the afternoon!! :o I’m going into Computer Programming & Analysis at Seneca. The campus is located at York so I might see some old friends.. :p

If your curious about my timetable its located here.

I’m not ready for school, I didnt even go back to school shopping for school supplies!! Besides the laptop (DUDE! I got a Dell! :o ) Its a Dell Inspiron 6400 with a Core Duo with 2GBs of RAM.. an upgraded 15.4″ display and 9-cell battery, and lets not forget the DVD Burner. Though it comes with Integrated Graphics (Intel’s GMA950). Oh well, its good for school useage and playing movies. Possible play some classic games.. :p If a Radeon Mobility 9000 IGP with Celeron D 2.8Ghz and 512MB RAM can play Counter-Strike, I’m sure the Inspiron can do.. :p
