Rise of the Nations

Bowy…. after how many months of finally getting back a PC and playing some PC games i haven’t been able to play. I have come across Rise of The Nations (ROTN).
I played a friend of mine, Profound, the other day and he basically handed me my ass in a platter; but alas i guess that wasn’t enuff for me. Tonight, actualy just a few minutes ago, he basically ddid the the same thing again… but like the MAN i am.. i ran so I could fight back another day.

I have done a little better this time around…. i’m learing more of the hotkeys. I would say what I need to brsuh up on but my ENEMIES out there might use ANY info they have to kill me faster

Lightning….is a BITCH!!!

Friday we had some rhattid lightning and thunder…. first the rain just came out of nowhere!!!! when it came IT CAME. While it was raining i was sitting @ my PC as usual doing everything and nothing at the same time. Then I heard a roar from the thunder outside and like just seconds i saw some light which i assumed was lightning. Just seconds after that….. swishh…. light gone. First let me just say this wasn’t just ur run of the mill thunder this bad bow was LOUD!!!! As violently as the thunder/lightning came it took my ADSL modem… an later on i found out it took my network card on my linux server … in its wake. Here I was planning on buying a UPS for my machine den look deh i have to buy a new ADSL modem which is the same price as the modem.
I’m not sure how many of you guys reading this know how it feels to have a linux machine with NO NIC!!!!!!! it’s liek taking a bath with no water. My fren Dale was with me when i discoverd the problem… and he can tell u i was utterly distraught. After bitching, yea i admit it I was bitching, I wasn’t too happy at all at time. I was here contemplating like hell how i’m gonna get this machine to get back to working state. To make a long story short i ended up using a USB -to- ETHERNT in the machine and guess what di rass WORKED!!! ……. IT’S ALIVE!!!!
Now i just need to get a USB-Ethernet adapter for myself and away i go…..

New ZoomX5

Ok i had to buy another ADSL modem yesterday… mainly because of our lovely JPS grrrr. I had a X5 before i didnt really have any problems with it so i went back for another one; the other reason why i took the X5 was that i never wanted the Speedtouch. I think with this firmware update they gave the modem they have made it even more configurable Yipppeee!!!!!! But LAWD…….. looking at some of screens will hurt ur head if u don’t really understand networking.

I had to do some searching on how to open ports; here is what I found:

To open ports or a port range for unsolicited incoming traffic please follow these steps:

• Go To Advanced Setup
• Click on NAT
• Select NAT Rule Entry from the drop down menu click on Add
  • Rule Flavor: Select RDR
  • Rule ID: enter 5 (by default there already 4 rules, so the next one is 5) Note: Rules 2, 3, and 4 close ports 21, 23, and 80 respectively. If you need one (or more) of these ports open you will need to delete the respective rule. Under no circumstances should you remove rule 1.
  • If Name: Select All
  • Protocol: Select the specific protocol required or ANY
  • Local Address From: (IP address range) example: 10.0.0.5
  • Local Address To: example: 10.0.0.10 (gives you a range of 5 IP addresses) if you want all IP addresses from your network, Type in 0.0.0.0 on both “From” and “TO”. For a port to be opened on a single LAN PC type the same LAN IP address in the “From” and “TO” field.
  • Global Address From: 0.0.0.0
  • Global Address To: 0.0.0.0
  • Destination Port From: Enter single port number or the starting port number in a range of ports.
  • Destination Port To: Enter same single port or the ending port number in a range of ports.
  • Local Port: Enter same single port or Zero (0) for port range
  • Click on Save Changes
  • Click on Write Settings to Flash

Samba… Here go again

I basically have my Samba PDC working EXCEPT for 2 things:
1. Proper share of samba shares
2. SSL

So while ihave the whole day today… i’ll see what I can do

Single…. REALLY?!?!?!

Why is it so hard for a guy to be single for approx 2 years?!?!?! I know no one is really going to read this but still. i have to ask.
A fren and i were talking today.. and she made a comment that for some reason alot of married men seem to cheat even more than the single men. I think i would concure that it is that not ALL married men are like that… a good portion yea, but not all. Truth be told alot of us have roaming eyes.. and a number of men out there run with the urges and think of the consequences later. With that said though WOMEN aren’t that much better.. IMHO neither of use are better that the other.

SO my little fren out there (you know who u are) you can’t dawg out GUYS alone… ur gender is just as rotten.
