War is coming.
The weather is really nice, so, I guess it’s time to go brave the Evil Day Star and do some fighting. Saturday, October 2, 2010 is the Nerf War. Bring your Nerf guns (and clones) to Laurel Park in Conway, AR at 10:00am.
Leave the Nerf swords, maces, etc at home. Only weapons compatible with Nerf ammo are allowed.
I’ll will be bringing my Lazer Tag guns along too. If it’s too windy we’ll switch to those.
I’ll be bringing 3 of the Kwadkades home this week. To make room for these, I’m getting rid of a bunch of computer parts, books, and misc other things that are in my way. I will also be getting rid of the Mark III Kwadkade cabinet as it’s too big & heavy for where I live now.
Here’s a few things I’m getting rid of if some one in interested:
Free:
If there’s no one interested in the Free Stuff, I’ll be putting them up on CraigsList and/or FreeCycle.
For Sale:
If these aren’t sold before too long, they’re going up on Ebay.
I’ve shutdown several of my websites, mostly due to inactivity and lack of interest from other people.
Pretty much just have this website (Kwadroke.com/AEBates.com) and Kwadkade.com still running. I’m also stepping down from HSALUG & CARLUG. I am not leaving these groups due to a person or a group of people. I just feel I need a break and to remove some of the pressure I have placed on myself. There were some groups that did not have any outside input or involvement.
I have been contemplating this for a while and I doubt anyone will miss these groups or my involvement. In fact, I have a feeling most groups of the continuing groups will prosper from me stepping away.
It is possible I may return to some of these groups in the future. I very seriously doubt I will be taking a direct role in any of these.
I am also stepping away from working at Conway Gaming Center. I may be there occasionally as a gamer, but, not as anything official. Again, this is not due to anyone who owns CGC or works or is a customer there. I just need a break, and, I do not feel like I can contribute anything to help improve the store at this time.
This is why I build the KwadKades:
Seeing the cabinets being full reminds me why I do this.
I’m also working on a website for another blog. Yes another one. Still using WordPress. WordPress makes it so easy to set up a blog. I can have one setup in a few minutes. Tweaking a theme takes the longest time. Anyway, this is another Arcade themed blog. I’ll have more details in the near future.
For those living in a cave, Apple has released the new iPhone 4 as well as a new update to the iPhone OS. I have an iPhone 3gs, most of the features I’ve seen so far for iOS4, I have on my jailbroken OS 3. I really have no desire to upgrade the OS or get the new iPhone. Now getting a new Android on the other hand, sounds much better to me. Only problem is AT&T’s Android selection sucks compared to Verizon’s Droids. The Droid X looks pretty sweet. HDMI out, 720P video recording, and of course runs Android. It could use a front facing camera though.
Why do I like Android so much? It’s running on top of Linux and doesn’t lock you down like the iPhone OS.
Maybe some time soon, I’ll be able to put Android OS on my iPhone.
Apparently there’s a problem the reception with iPhone 4. If you hold with your left hand, the signal plummets. Why wasn’t this tested?
I’m starting up the Central Arkansas Anime Group meetings again. This time we’re meeting the 2nd Thursday, 6PM of the month at Conway Gaming Center. We watch anime every Thursday at 8PM at CGC, so, I figured it would be a good time to start up the meetings.
I’ve created a ARLUG Identi.ca Group to help spread the word about Linux in Arkansas. Post your Arkansas based Linux dents to the group using !arlug.
For those who don’t have a clue what Identi.ca is, it is a Open Source implementation of Twitter. I prefer Identi.ca over Twitter due to it’s based off of Status.net, and can be run of your own server. I run Status.net server over on GameSqueak.com.
