Lineage II bot PKer gets arrested. Nice. A little bite back on the people who make a living off games like Lineage I guess =P But then again I'm thinking he wouldn't have been arrested if he played the game properly (ie: no bots) but still managed to PK everyone in sight, take their stuff (not "steal" as they say in the article) and sell em on eBay. Unless of course, you shouldn't be selling on eBay anyway. In any case, found it interesting.
back to work :(

Not too much new to report (despite the lack of posts). However, lets recap the highlights shall we?
On Saturday, there was some fun in the sun for YUBC Beach Day...er....yes....i'm doing a lot more stuff with YUBC than I do with the UW Baddy ppls >.<>:( that's not cool. Went for dinner at Kelseys back up on HWY7 (and Woodbine) then Donna and Kevin came over to shoot some pool & watch the Food Channel. *WHAT? You don't know what white fish is?? . . . wait...I don't know what white fish is either :S* Wooooooah...Donna's quite the interesting girl when she's tired ^^ But the fish thing wasn't enoough, as we ended up being on the phone til 2:30 in the morning >_< *Me: Yeah, I've never been to kareoke with you... Donna: Yeah I've never been to kareoke with you either* >_____<*
LOL okay, enough of that before Donna comes kill me =P
mmmm....Yesterday was badminton after work at York :D It's good to play again, ugh, this playing and not playing on and off is very bad....haha can't stay consistent! It also doesn't help that my arm was still sore from Volleyball -_-" yes I suck. Oh with the Roger's cup at York, it also meant parking far away from the gym (even tho there's a lot RIGHT beside the gym). For those of you at Wat, it's prob equivalent to...err...walk from MC to PAS or. . . V2 to PAC...not all that bad i guess =P
That's all for now, but hopefully, this wkened will be lots of chilling and a little of wrapping up the work report. ^^v

Happy happy news. I got out of Concurrency and will be taking DB next term :) Whew, concurrency would've sucked in a very BIG way. This also means Tuesdays and Thursdays off...SCORE!
I know, lacking updates :S haha maybe more later ^^

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :) Fun weekend to be had.
Last wkend was SOTF which meant more badminton fun =D Drove up to waterloo on saturday morning like last time, but was a little late this time since I left home a little late, drove with a rev & speed limit on the new car, and had to pick up Brian from his cousin's place in loo. The competition was fun, again we didn't win =( but the games were fun this time. Got some good rallys in. Didn't like the fact that Brian and I had to play *ahem* someone twice. -_-" ARGH....Also picked up my new racquet....pretty good :D control not as good as my 88, but power is better ^^ I want to play MORE badminton now....MORE MORE :D need to get back into shape first tho....but how long have I been saying THAT? XD
After the tourny we went to Leung Yau to have Hot Pot....was there any time we DIDN'T have hot pot after a badminton tourny the last few tournies???? After Hot Pot, even tho we were heck full, Kevin and I needed to pick up some bbt to keep us awake enough to drive back out to TO. We drove one behind each other all the way back to Kevin's place where I dropped off donna and took a bathroom break (from all the watermelon juice and bbt) before trekking home :) I was dead tired...ended up sleeping around 1:30 . . . SOOOOO TIRED.
It's so damn funny when ppl are so tired that they're not making sense, or just laughing at everything under the sun. If people didn't know better, they thought we were all drunk!!! :D Brian's laughing fit =P
This wk is deadish again.....not much work dunno how my supervisor's gonna meet the deadline next week......argh. I've decided not to return after he made an offer last wk. I don't see the point....I also don't see why I should put myself working with someone whos methods i don't agree with. ^^ This means I'll be looking for another job =S Something I'm not looking forward to. First must get rid of this last work report.
On other news, my supervisor asked me and the other co-op to look up ways to "hack" into one of the servers from the internet...:O yes...Hack. -_-" Well the nicer way to put it is to ensure that all backdoors have been closed and filled in against potiential attacks. =P Lol, any one wanna give me hacking pointers?
I believe that's enough to be highlight of the week. =P

wheeeeeeeeeee lots happened and i haven't posted *hangs head*
Lets see....there was the pointfore tourny up in Waterloo, played with Donna and Kevin. It was an interesting compass draw with 3 player teams. We did...er...not so well haha but we had fun ^^ lots of videos were taken. We all got draw prizes as well. Donna got some grip. *coughwhichsuckscough* kevin got some wrist bands and i got..........a new racquet of choice!!!! =D Nice now i got a nice spare ^^ well i mean I WILL have it by SOTF which is a week away ^^
hmmm....oh we also got the pool table. ^^ or rather my dad got his pool table =P haha our basement isn't so empty any more =D Haha i keep getting my ass kicked in pool by my dad tho :'( that's not so fun.
The other major thing which happened issssss.......we had to return our MP5...but we also got......a Subaru Impreza RS Sedan to replace it!!! ^^ It's nice and silver. Now, considering if i should drive it to work (slowly...since the engine needs some breaking in) or drive my dad's car until it's properly broken in. But since my dad doesn't have to drive much to get to work, it will take a lot longer to break it in. BUT if i drive it to work, I'll be driving...SLLLLOOOOOOW which means I'll have to leave the house much earlier >.<
Currently thinking...drive dad's car to work for a week, drive to waterloo with the Impreza next wkend (at my own pace) and see how much mileage is on the car at that time. But I wanna drive it =( i dun like the big car....it's so....BIG >.<>
Neway, going for BBQ tomorrow, and have some fun in the sun =) Fun fun. Hopefully I'll update more from now on... (how many times have you heard that one? =P )

Might start listing out interesting finds on the internet =)
i don't know.....just be think twice when acting noobish in online games =S

argument against the RIAA =) Honestly, something needs to change. The IPod catalog itself has different releases for different countries. One CD you can find in US, you can't find here in Canada....well you can always buy the CD with US funds....but....why all the hassle? RIAA needs to grow up.

kay, so i'm doing roughly monthly blogs =S SORRY >.<
Well the warm weather is finally steadily here and I'm getting tanned....no not from being outside, but from all the driving. My arms are going to BURRRRN =\ Another side effect of all the driving is my knees are finally starting to give me problems. I say finally only because I've been playing badminton for so long that I'm surprised it didn't come sooner. Well driving was one of the reasons, jumping in badminton was the other =P But knee is doing better now, after some exercise to strengthen the muscles around it and well, the getting used to the driving helps too i guess. Dispite all these sideeffects of driving....I must declare that I still DO love driving =D I don't, however, like paying for gas ever 2-3 days =S THAT is not so fun. Driving everyday I'm also learning to tolerate a lot more of the stupid driving that happens on the beautiful streets and highways of Toronto. I'm happy that I got this job where i have to drive during the summer and not during winter. Must make a note of that when deciding to return or not.
Also, playing a lot more badminton this term. Well....a lot more than the past few terms. Perhaps ever since first year I dare say =) I'm still in terrible shape tho....need to work on that one. I got my memory stick duo for my camera now, so we can record ourselves playing =P to check out our form and stuff....hehe 20+mins, not too bad =)
This term is passing by so fast. Both the co-op i'm working with and I see that. The weeks are just flying by. Not because we have a whole lot to do....just.....we can't believe we already got two paychecks and have been at work for more than a month! :o
neway, i hope the next time i post it won't be a month later =P REALLY i TRY and post. HONEST! =P
