In like water

Torrenting works this way... It's MAGICAL.. I don't exactly know how it works completely.. I get the gist but couldn't fully explain it to satisfy those who might actually know but let's just say when I used to torrent (pnp file sharing) it was set the torrents to be gotten and then go to bed and in the morning everything was here on the computer.. And now I do it while looking at things in the morning and then watch what I got in the afternoon.. Unless it was a box set type of thing like the recently acquired walking dead season three, That took seven hours to get.  Today I clicked a show that is an hour long show to try to watch, I've only heard of it and it is also on a  roku channel, thought I'd give it a shot.. Two minutes after starting the download I check to see how far it has gotten and it was halfway done.. Like I have said the show Justified I've only seen two episodes of that show on tv, the rest has been torrent.. Same with Archer and Legit.. Pretty much everything on FX and likely FX2 will be the same way when it starts up.. We do get FX west feed, I just forget to watch for these shows.. Streaming from the network sight would be just as easy as torrent and .. Probably safer but you get the commercials as well.. The hulu site can be downloaded from which is nice now..

Last nights music night was Alice Cooper at the O2 arena this past holiday season.. You couldn't tell it was a Christmas time show, he got his head cut off like usual.... WHAT A GUY!!  I'll always be a fan of this guy..  I read something on a site that Bob Ezrin was producing Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse.. album and wanted to have them do rap in one of the songs and Dave (Gilmour) flat out rejected the idea.. I always said Dave was smart, it would have been the end of me being a fan of theirs right there.. No need to try to recover with another album.. It was like when KISS did a disco song on Dynasty, turned me off of KISS for a while... 

Tomorrow is the music entry from the Infinity project phase two the entirety of phase two.. Phase three will have one entry only and right now I have to decide which videos will be on that.. I did enough for five entries (actually more but was planning on five) but will hold it to one, why go overboard??  The next project called Worlds Collide is shaping up to be more concept and leaving the shapes and acid like video concepts that the infinity project was seemingly about (computer generated visualscapes)... The video I had been wanting to do since the end of the summer I finally did for the song Sunset Alter.. Turned out well, but might try another version.. I can't seem to satisfy my vision fully for the video..

I was looking at some of the pictures that I had acquired for the possible final entry on PNOP in December and this one was there.. Flipping The Bird as it was entered in the search engine and this picture came up.. When you see this at the end of an entry, you will know that will be the final entry for that site.. Still trying to decide if the December 27th "final entry" will be that or if I will continue on.. Decisions decisions..

Friday fieldgoal

I will admit to one thing that has come out of the situation that happened this past August, I am uncomfortable around Lucy.. That may never change.. Truth is today I was hoping mom would say let's go home without going to the hospital but  ..  She needs to see the new baby boy.. No problem there.. I took my camera in and if Ryan would have been in the holder thing I would have taken a picture of him.. No big deal I will likely get a picture of him some time sooner or later..

Looked at sprinklers today.. I am still torn on getting a mechanical (gear driven) one.. Looked at Walmart and they have one on a stake for about ten dollars.. Then checked at the Bomgars store and saw about the same kind that is on it's own plastic thingy doo.. It was nearly twenty dollars and is a brand I like so.. I might get it or the other.. Not sure which to get..  Then I thought I'd get the one at walmart and then decided to get it maybe Wednesday.. Maybe.. Maybe not at all...


On the Roku I've added a new channel to check out.. From the page of the channel itself : 

Sound Reason

Developer: JFXIA
The long established patterns of faith are changing, not just in the USA, but slowly across the World; traditional religion is increasingly finding itself being challenged by skeptical thinking, secularism, and atheism.The Sound Reason channel makes accessible on the Roku a representative sample of the best internet audio podcasts from the skeptic and freethought movement -- the funniest, the most thought provoking, the most educational, the most lively...The intended audience includes non-believers wanting to listen to a wider range of views from within the freethought community, and believers wanting to test their faith against counter arguments. The included podcasts range in style from panel discussions, to debates between believers and non-believers, to phone-in shows, to opinion pieces. Episode topics may include such things as counter-apologetics, philosophy, morality, politics, and education. Because occasionally content may include controversial subjects (such as pro-life / pro-choice debates), parental guidance for young children is advised.

My views towards religion started to change way back when I was still in high school..  This channel has some interesting subjects..   I like the idea of freethought..  Open up your mind and think outside the mainstream box of religion.. Think for yourself.. I like that..

Made thursday

After watching The Walking Dead on Netflix I have to admit I kinda got hooked on the show.. It comes on AMC and I didn't watch this season and thought I'd wait until it is on Netflix to watch it, but..  I really miss watching that show and was gonna get it via torrent then decided to wait and watch it on Netflix.. Then today i am checking the listing on the torrent and there is the latest episode of Cracked and set to get it.. Then for the S&G's I checked for a torrent of season 3 of Walking Dead just to see if a single torrent were available with all of season 3 on it.. I thought I'd get it in individual downloads before but decided against it.. There it is a single torrent with the entire season 3 on it.. Five of them as  matter of fact.. Which one to take?? I hope I tagged the right one anyway.. Should be watching episode one of season three this afternoon..

On Sulia they had the news of the new Arrested Development that is coming to Netflix next  month and I wasn't a fan of the show at all..

Trying to decide which radio "app" to have on the Roku.. I liked Pandora and the remote has that site with a dedicated button all it's own, but... And I liked Pandora when it was first out on the computer, I got into  a lot of music using it, but with the Roku it isn't quite the same to use.. So I have i-Heart radio, Tunein and Shoutcast as well they have slacker radio, rdio as well as others but I wanted to only try these others.. It was a tossup as far as i-Heart and tunein are concerned.  I like to listen to more talk radio now than I ever have before and use the computer (i-Tunes program) to listen to what music I listen to because I don't have much tolerance for radio programers ..  Tunein has a  great number of stations from here in America as well as around the world.. i-Heart seems a little limited so I for now have eliminated it from my channels section.. Shoutcast has a huge number of channels mostly internet exclusive.. rdio is about the same as shoutcast except is pay more than not..  To each their own taste wise.. i-heart has the Bear from Greeley which I like to listen to when we get to Cheyenne.. Kind of the reason I like i-heart but not enough reason to keep it for now anyway.. 

Then there is the North Korea situation and except for the threat being more local to Americans in that region, it seams fairly hallow for a strike on American soil.. That being said I wonder what would happen if the U.S. decided to strike them first??  Slap them hard.. Probably world war three..  Oh well it was a nice go of it..  Happy hunting Ung   you little twit..

Project three

 Back when the XL Pipeline was first announced that it would be cutting a trench through the Nebraska sandhills region I was against it.. I didn't like the idea of this pipeline going through this area mostly because if it leaks (it would never leak) it could taint the water supply for everyone who uses the water.. Truth is it would screw up more than that.. And this week we had a pipeline burst in Arkansas and in a residential area.. I read the comments on it and there were those who said "I'd go out and pick it up".. With what exactly would you pick it up with and do what with it once you did??   There is no good that would come from the pipeline going through except it would cause a spike in employment for a while and not very many jobs.. The jobs created would be specialist positions such as those who already know how to install a pipeline and these are people who know what they are doing (I would hope).. You wouldn't want cheap labor guessing  they are working on it right..

The three sisters project.. A few years ago we got a seed set and idea to try this three sisters.. And then just yesterday we got another set in the mail to do this again.. I was going to plant pumpkins and still plan to.. But the three sisters project will be done as well.. Should be interesting.. Last time I did this the corn grew great but the beans were sparse.. The squash ended up being fairly good as well.. Took me a while to remember it.. So I'll get things going here in May..

After the fools day

Just a little note here.. I got the video from Sundays visit completed and edited to upload to YouTube by about seven and started the upload right then.. The first part there was some of the scenes were out of order with where they should have been, I've explained that with this video camera the files aren't in running order.. When they are watched from the camera to the tv (disc recorder) they are in order, but when I load them to the computer they aren't in order..  they run all over the place and there were a great number of scenes, I don't push record and let it go until I am done..  The second part (in the kitchen) was set as the second video on it's own.. Though they could have been put up as one complete video I decided to have them be two separate videos..  Set on Facebook in opposite order so that part two would be lower in the timeline with part one being above.. Makes some sense I guess..  I started the upload at about seven last night and checked at a little after ten and it wasn't even a quarter of the way done and I thought it might take all night to upload.. It was done by three this morning, because I happened to wake up and turned on the Roku and checked and the videos were there on my site.. Anyway, the full video that was shot was well over an hour with the kitchen part being over twenty minutes or maybe even half an hour..  I want to  edit more, but it was tough to do and gets harder to cut stuff out as the girls get older.. It would be nice to get a video about once a month.. Watch them get older, develop..

The cat is out of the bag.

A lame tame April fools day thing at the PNOP site.. Tame I say because what I was planning was to take all of the entries down, and have only one "HACKED" thing on there for the entire day..  Then I was going to have some writeup about the "video" per each entry which was instead pulled because of restrictions but that seemed really involved and a heavy lot of fun to do so I did this instead.. Very mild compared to what I was planning.. I did mention on Facebook that I didn't understand what was going on with the PNOP site, why was everything I posted being taken down and being replaced with that crap, but it was me that did it.. Kinda lame but you know.. Oh well...
