After all, major labels haven't been interested in new talent for a long time. Let's face it, if it's not something that can be made with a compu... http://my.afterdawn.com/vurbal/blog_entry.cfm/2137/scammers_suck Lately I've been getting a lot of email from scammers and it's really been pissing me off. I'm used to ending up on a bunch of mailing lists, and I used to spend at least 10 minutes every morning removing my name from them. To their credit, most of the li... http://my.afterdawn.com/vurbal/blog_entry.cfm/2127/ So Sony finally announced a price drop for the PS3. What I find much more interesting is how Sony president Ryoji Chubachi was able to lie about it with a straight face.

I bought the PC used from a co-work... http://my.afterdawn.com/vurbal/blog_entry.cfm/1486/ It seems like there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done that I told myself I would. I have three guides in the works and at least half a dozen more I plan to work on eventually. Of course this can only mean one thing - it's time to find ... http://my.afterdawn.com/vurbal/blog_entry.cfm/1465/ Now that my basic DVD-RB guides are done (and should be up soon) I'm on to the really challenging part. Within the next 2-4 weeks I hope to get an entire series of guides for DVD-RB that cover at least most of the bells and whistles, as well as some (or m... http://my.afterdawn.com/vurbal/blog_entry.cfm/1439/ After a couple of days of hard work my basic DVD-RB guide is almost done. Actually it's 2 guides now - 1 for the free version and one for Pro. The first drafts are finished and all the screenshots have been prepared. Just need to go over it when I get hom... http://my.afterdawn.com/vurbal/blog_entry.cfm/1428/ Have to keep my nose to the grindstone. I have a bunch of guides that are way overdue for revision. Right now I'm hard at work on the DVD-RB guide. In the process of preparing some DVD files I realized just how much software I have to update. Fortunately ... http://my.afterdawn.com/vurbal/blog_entry.cfm/1423/ I'm back after several months away.
