Its been too long…

Wow, 5 months since my last post on here. I think thats the longest I have ever gone without posting on my blog in the 5 years I have had it running. I do have a very good reason though. Usually my blog posts are about holidays or events I have been on/to or some funny picture I have made or found but all those activites ceased when I started playing Starcraft 2. I mentioned a while back, my love for Starcraft and my excitment at it impending arrival so when I received the beta key, which I was honored to be included in, I did not really have any spare internet time! And then the retail version which came out a few weeks ago. Basically all my free internet time has been dedicated to either playing it or watching it! I say internet time because this time around I am not going to let it take over my life! :P The original Starcraft, which was released in 1997/8 was such an amazing game that it led me to ignoring my college responsiblilies and spending all my time in our college labs gaming! The result was that I had to reapeat a year in college! :( So I am going to try to control myself a bit bettter this time and hopefully not get fired from work for taking days off or something silly like that! Nooo wayyyyy hosééééé!

So here is my new Starcraft 2 signature…

Tracking svchost.exe in Windows 7

Just noticed this in Windows 7′s Task Manager…

Under the Processes tab if you right-click a process one of the options is “Go to Services”,

and it goes to the Services tab and highlights all the services using that process! Nice for tracking svchost!

My best of 2009

Another year down and another “Best of” post to do as I have done in 2007 and 2008 . 2009 was a year to be forgotten, judging by a lot of the Facebook status’ I saw in at the beginning of the month, and after recession hit full whack and the unemployment register met new heights even beating out the 39% spike in the 80′s I could tend to agree. All that on top of the fact that I turned 30! :( But this post is not about the bad things that happened in 2009, rather the best of what did happen for me personally. And so I will begin with a few pictures that defined the year 2009 for me, as I always do.

Monkey Island: Special Edition vs Original Edition

I just recently completed the special edition of The Secret of Monkey Island and took a couple of screenshots to show the difference. I had great fun completing it again after about 20 years ( I was 11 years old the first time) with my 8 year old son who also enjoyed it. Fingers crossed they will bring out a Special Edition of Monkey Island 2 as I think that Le Chucks revenge was the best of the series.

Original version


Special Edition

And a funny clip…
