Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Wait a bit, it'll show on both.

yea had to log in/out for it to work lol

he does get around :I

;o

Take that back!

All you guys with your XIV pictures and talk making me want to play XIV...

I know exactly what would happen if I actually did find a copy for PC though. I would play for like 3 weeks, not make any friends and try to solo everything, get annoyed or bored, and then just never touch it again D:

Stop making me want to play you ***.

2 girls on a chocobo ?

It's days like today that remind me of why I read Romantic literature as I slip deeper into melancholy.

I've heard of people using ITX and fitting them in the dash. Apparently they're a bit bigger with a custom case than a radio.

Another option would be to use something like an HP USDT as they have a dc input, but you'd have to up it to at least 19v, I think they're rated at 19.5, and then check the current, whether or not that's the better option than just an inverter depends on the quality and your skills. an ITX build would probably be cheaper.

Zero-G Juggs isn't exactly romantic literature.

I haven't been called in to work on a night I had off in... forever...

and of course it would be on a day that I stayed up all morning. x.x

Nap time, I suppose.

i have a friend who's dad is a long time mechanic who was trained in the army to do electrical work. i'm gonna go to him with my idea to determine the feasibility of what i want to do. then, have a professional place do the audio install and run the wires through the car. planning on this taking a few months since i'll get components separately. i'll probably gonna make a thread once i actually start.

*edit* it would probably be cheaper and easier to just get a laptop and put it in the glovebox or something.

It would be rather easy to calculate the wattage needed to power a small computer and a small little screen. I'd honestly get the screen as 12v dc input as they're rather easy to find. You should be able to run the PC off a small inverter, now as far as hooking a second battery to your alternator, I'd speak to a mechanic first, as I am not one.

I do know however that you'll probably want to hook it up close to the battery, as pulling that much current through the length of the car would require rather thick cable, and make sure to put a fuse in, decently under the cable rating, just in case. You don't want a fire.

Not sure exactly how elaborate you wanted to take it, but also might want to check your state laws to see if it's legal to have a screen that can be viewed by the driver while in motion, may not be, may get a ticket.

I thought about spending $200~ On a computer, and about another $200 on getting it installed, maybe a bit more if I wanted to increase the size of the screen. Get a usb gps, and bluetooth.

Pretty much get a $1000+ system in the care for under $500. Not to mention could put a ssd and a mechanical disk in, one for OS/speed the other to store music on.

Could even get elaborate and have a flip down keyboard on the passenger side ^.^

oh would you look at that :o

what?

verified my 14 character :|

chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga



please tell me someone made a character named chugga chugga?

my chocobo is named chugga chugga

I still can't reactivate /wrists

So fun financial aid fustercluck story time.

This year I applied for TAP and qualified for $1500 per semester (YAY!)
The day classes started my TAP showed up as cancelled in my financial aid package (WTF!)
After visiting the financial aid office twice, I was given a "best guess" that it was because I was getting 100% GI Bill benefits, I was okay with this.
I learned that I am not getting 100% GI Bill benefits so I contact the school again!
They tell me that sometimes they "temporarily cancel" TAP with GI Bill students until it can be confirmed that they qualify and at which percentage so that the values displayed aren't inaccurate and that they are investigating the situation for me (this was the department head at this point).
Today I get a letter, this is the third week of classes, from the registrar office. "This is just FYI since you don't have TAP (because it is 'temporarily cancelled' the registrar thinks I don't have it), but we noticed you took ENGL 101 before and you are taking ENGL 102 now. This would have DQ'd you from TAP just so you know blah blah blah."

So now it looks like the ENGL 102 class I am taking is going to screw me out of $1500... maybe $3,000 total, and on top of that I am no longer even sure if it will count as an additional GER credit or not.

I am really glad they waited to catch this until 3 weeks into the semester instead of 3 months ago when I registered for the classes.

Looky, I have an FFXIV character, too!
