Posted by TheChrisD on Monday the 29th of June, 2009 at 12:59:00am UTC

I would go to bed, only I've had an abnormally large sugar intake over the course of the NASCAR race… Maybe some new Platinum videos? #
Now playing Halo 3 – not that you'd care… http://raptr.com/TheChrisD #
Wow. This Halo 3 Mongoose racetrack would be brilliant as a rollercoaster! Must find RollerCoaster Tycoon on the Internet somewhere… #
@bsangel Almost like last night thinking we were on offense when it was defense… in reply to bsangel #
Nummy brekkie: Big bowl of Frosties with almonds, hazelnuts, pecans and walnuts #
I wonder if Google would ever release a desktop client for Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Reader – i.e. Windows Live Mail, but Google. #
@komplettie But all in one proprietary client? I'd rather not have to have three programs open for mail, calendar and feeds. in reply to komplettie #
What the hell is with random people on YouTube now messaging me, attempting to "personalise it" by adding my username, to try and get subs? #
Feel like making chilli tonight, but just realised that despite spending €130 on food yesterday, I didn;t buy any kidney beans :/ #
@psneeze It seems to take a while to take effect. I did a follower cull a while back and was a few hours before my numbers dropped. in reply to psneeze #
Dammit, camera just ran ou… Wait… @iambabybear will you stop saying what I'm going to say? #
How did dinner suddenly turn from chilli to Haribo Goldbears…? #
Yay, found Top Gear on YouTube that the BBC haven't torn down yet! #
@Cianmm What image? in reply to Cianmm #
@Cianmm Fine, but then I can't help. in reply to Cianmm #
@Cianmm I'm not an admin or a sysop, but I know how to go about an XfD and actually have it being about results. in reply to Cianmm #
Right, to the recording of more Platinum shenanigans! #
Ow. My feet may be totally numb and my back sore from arching over more, but at least the latest batch of Platinum video sees epic progress! #
Think I'll have to leave the new video importing overnight. I blame the slow connection between computer and external HDD >:( #
Yay, Gears 2 finally arrived #
Now playing Gears of War 2 – not that you'd care… http://raptr.com/TheChrisD #
I can definitely say that tonight's dinner of fish, roast potatoes and sweetcorn is definitely more healthy than last night's! #
@bsangel I know it's not much, but do you want to throw a 48-hour code in there as well? (I've already used the Flashback Map Pack one…) #
Hmmm… do I want the Caramel Chew Chew or the Strawberry Cheesecake? Or will I forego the ice-cream…? #
I unlocked 32 Xbox achievements on Gears of War 2! http://raptr.com/TheChrisD #
Oh god… everything wants to interfere with me trying to record another Audiosurf run. First twhirl, then Messenger, and now e-mail! #
@WillKnott http://www.davidmaybury.ie/journal/ in reply to WillKnott #
@darraghdoyle It's a 50/50 – but I must say that shit like that does tend to happen in the US when it comes to online gaming in reply to darraghdoyle #
@AceyBongos You'd be better off murdering a Ben and Jerry's. Speaking of which… *runs to freezer* in reply to AceyBongos #
I love how even though I have a double-height taskbar that shows the full day/date/time, I still hover over it to check the date… #
Now I remember why I told Xfire to save to desktop when recording the last video… :/ #
Right, latest Audiosurf video repalyed, rerecorded, rerendering and soon to be reuploading! #
@TrustTommy Quit yo jibber-jabber! in reply to TrustTommy #
FFS @YouTube, what is with you and all these crappy "unknown errors" that you throw which make me have to restart long video uploads… #
@monaghanpenguin But I thought you were the bottom of the league team? How is that possible? in reply to monaghanpenguin #
Two minutes until YouTube upload completes. Bet it's going to complain about an unknown error again >:( #
@mieows Since when do you have to get dressed after a shower? in reply to mieows #
Oh wow, it actually uploaded *shock* #
I uploaded a YouTube video — Audiosurf Ninja Mono – Generic CAW feat. Raocow – Stupid Horse http://bit.ly/VfWC3 #
Now playing Gears of War 2 – not that you'd care… http://raptr.com/TheChrisD #
@EA_APOC What the…? Half price super-weapons? I'm gonna have a field day against the AI… in reply to EA_APOC #
Well well, @TimCAD linking to @bsangel. Angel, I think you need to quickly tear down all the posts that make fun at CAD! #
@bsangel Really? I always thought it was you making fun at him. Maybe it was Penny Arcade… :/ in reply to bsangel #
Wow, they're making Avatar into a film? Please tell me I'm not the only one hoping the movie tie-in game is another easy 1000… #
I really need to start properly cooking… All this meat and stuff around me and just not being used. Maybe I need to get up on time :/ #
@Cianmm For a second there I thought you were saying you could record for so long without your computer throwing an error in reply to Cianmm #
For the past 3 hours, bots have been playing 1-min rounds of Gears 2 Execution. Top guy has 45 downs and 26 kills. I still have no deaths #
@twentymajor Ummm, what is what? The whole Gears of War 2 thing? in reply to twentymajor #
Ohhhh… feeling not the best all of a sudden :/ #
@dailydreamer Not entirely too sure, but it's not a pleasant feeling. in reply to dailydreamer #
I think this computer definitely has some problems with USB drivers. My external hard drive stalls the booting up of Windows :/ #
Ugh, all this shit bloating this computer, particularly software that came pre-installed is making me want to put Win 7 on it… #
The epitome of laziness – since I can't find my phone or a pen anywhere, I'm sending my Win 7 product key to myself in an Xbox message… #
Or I could just send it in a direct message to the bear's account #
Think I'll go to bed while this backs up and this downloads. Hopefully in the morning I'll be able to put Win 7 on. #
Oh wow, FAT32 comes and bites me in the ass… #
@darraghdoyle No, I just never have anything decent and culch related to write about. in reply to darraghdoyle #
A good morning for being awake early methinks, what with parcel containing long overdue Ctrl-Alt-Del models. #
Oh lord, I've answered the door to one person already, now the floodgates are open apparently. #
I need a network drive with at least 30GB of space that isn't FAT32 so I can backup this comp and put a better OS on it :/ #
@darraghdoyle Do it! in reply to darraghdoyle #
What? I'm now being forced to use AIB's new shitty Internet Banking? Fuck off. I liked the old one as it was, #
@themaddhatter Haven't even opened 'em yet. I'll get around to it soon. in reply to themaddhatter #
Ow that's a large credit card bill… Methinks getting a new laptop hard drive from @komplettie may be out of the question for a while. #
How on earth does Ryanair, Lego, Xbox Live, Gamesenders, pizza and Steam add up to over three hundred quid?!?! #
This is going to be one expensive August #
@komplettie If I'm upgrading my laptop's hard drive to a WD Scorpio 320GB, should I get the €59 5400rpm or the €78 7200prm? in reply to komplettie #
@coollike White wrapper on white background looks a little off… in reply to coollike #
@komplettie Grand then. So is there really only one WD Scorpio Black 320GB 7200rpm (SKU:358193) coming on the 30th? in reply to komplettie #
@coollike I think it's just more my personal preference, the whole "everything floating in middle of page without visible wrapper" thing. in reply to coollike #
Filezilla likes to take it's sweet ass time in loading… >:( #
@coollike My screen size sucks, FYI: http://stuff.thechrisd.com/pics/charlieyoutubechannel.png in reply to coollike #
@komplettie Hmmm, either way I want. May as well wait a few extra days rather than paying 3 quid less and losing 70gigs! in reply to komplettie #
Half a tub of Ben and Jerry's probably does not constitute a good lunch… #
@Marriland You still heading out to those VG championships? How many of those things are there over there? in reply to Marriland #
Hello! I just checked the limited edition numbers on my CAD maquettes. I have Ethan #6 and Zeke #7! Loyal fan, eh @TimCAD? #
I just realised that my blog didn't post the usual Twitter update collection post this week. Plugin broken with 2.8? #
Hmmm, apparently it just "missed schedule". Why does WP keep having this niggling error? #
@darraghdoyle Thanks for standing still, wanker! in reply to darraghdoyle #
@stephenfry Going back for another shot at it? Was it as mildly moist as when you went in the Liana? in reply to stephenfry #
@alancostello Who said any of those things were bad? in reply to alancostello #
@alancostello Go beat some sense into it in reply to alancostello #
Should go make dinner now. Only just realising that the packets of mince I got were 750g! There's gonna be quite a lot of bolognese mix :/ #
Win 7 will only ship as a full version but with upgrade pricing? While that makes Home Premium a tasty pick, Ultimate seems very expensive. #
Bolognese mix done, now to wait on the pasta to cook. Who'd have though so much stuff would fit into such a small frying pan… #
@JonnyPaula I take it Comcast got their asses in gear then? in reply to JonnyPaula #
Internet has gone to shit here :/ #
@NiallHarbison Are you entirely sure the bath was the best place? I know it's where you had the time to do it… but still. in reply to NiallHarbison #
*hurries along an RPP for the MJ Wikipedia page* #
Wow, full protection applied fairly quickly. Thrown on when he was admitted. Thankfully not a sea of IP edits to wade through… #
@Cianmm A reliable source that isn't TMZ or reporting based on the TMZ report? in reply to Cianmm #
@liliesarelike Paragraphs of text to go with the mysterious voice from the side of Charlie's videos? Isn't this interesting in reply to liliesarelike #
@Kevism All those sources are right now just reporting the original TMZ report. A reliable secondary source is needed. in reply to Kevism #
@prendio2 Wikipedia cannot and will not mention his death until a reliable secondary source has been found. in reply to prendio2 #
Methinks Twitter's slowing down from the landslide of MJ-related tweets. Cool it, people. #
So, how big is the relevant @boards_ie thread already? Ah, over 300 posts. :/ #
@JonnyPaula Have you not seen that ads will still show up beside and on your videos on the channel page? in reply to JonnyPaula #
I think I'm going to go to bed, so that when I wake up the Internet will have calmed down and I can go back to using everything properly… #
A BBC report page contained an embedded player of the BBC World News channel, but I can't get it anywhere else online?!?! WTF BBC? #
@mongey91 You better be putting these into a blog post… in reply to mongey91 #
Right, time for shower and then to bed. When I come back in the morning I will continue where I left off in twhirl collecting your MJ jokes. #
Just out of the shower, got a glimpse of myself in the morror – and holy crap, I think I look like MJ (before he died of course) #
@robnubis Do it. DO IT!!! in reply to robnubis #
@stroughtonsmith I don't have my glasses on, so I can't exactly make out what I type too well… in reply to stroughtonsmith #
@bsangel I can definitely think of things I DON'T want to win – mainly since I already own it/most of them. in reply to bsangel #
@daraghmcg Enough so that two can crash together and we can have a NEW top story. in reply to daraghmcg #
To bed for reals now. #
HeartGold and SoulSilver September 12th! Damn, now I need to get my Platinum LP done before then :/ #
Great, the jokes have died down… #
@bsangel Well I do kind have a lot of the stuff in Pool 3, plus I don't own a Wii and I pirate all my DS games. in reply to bsangel #
@AceyBongos It's all about the surf shorts, Acey. Finally something stylish that still shows a bit of leg #
@feylya Do it… DO IT!!! I wouldn't mind a mining/PvE buddy when I do eventually get a computer capable of running it properly again in reply to feylya #
@feylya Then just login to add really long skills to your skill queue? That's what I've been doing… in reply to feylya #
Oh god, please don't tell me that my Xbox Live inbox is filled with MJ tribute messages… #
Ah phew. Out of six messages, three were pointless, one was an RIP, one was a joke, and one was someone complaining about the joke. #
Now pointlessly wasting more time playing Gears of War 2 – not that you'd care at all… http://raptr.com/TheChrisD #
@niall_quinn1 I only wish it was next week, since I'd be around Dunboyne then. Got the newer A1 car this year? in reply to niall_quinn1 #
@HowsoJoe Fajitas. Really spicy ones in reply to HowsoJoe #
@EmzWesker *makes sure to bring the tazer this year* in reply to EmzWesker #
@niall_quinn1 I'll definitely be there for the main event, that's for sure! in reply to niall_quinn1 #
Nobody on for a bit of Horde? I don't like having to do it myself… #
@donncha Wimp! in reply to donncha #
@HowsoJoe I told you to have fajitas… in reply to HowsoJoe #
Off to make dinner, once I clear up after last night's… #
Now pointlessly wasting more time playing Halo 3 – not that you'd care at all… http://raptr.com/TheChrisD #
I unlocked 5 Xbox achievements on Gears of War 2! http://raptr.com/TheChrisD #
Sudden change in the end-of-video "menu" system on YouTube? #
@kylesellers Not going to get many bricks out of him though… in reply to kylesellers #
May as well hurry up and write this idea for an article that was running through my head last night before I forget it… #
@monaghanpenguin Niall McClave has a blog? in reply to monaghanpenguin #
@AceyBongos You… want… rain? Seriously though, WTF? in reply to AceyBongos #
A very quick question: Are more people available this Wednesday night or this Friday night? #
@Raptr Does it only come in US-layout? in reply to Raptr #
@feylya There's a movie that mixes the two…? in reply to feylya #
@Distantrambler Not really staying at home anymore. Wasn't particularly "healthy". Am in @WillKnott's place for summer. in reply to Distantrambler #
@BCPT Wait… why did Silverman go? And what's he doing now? in reply to BCPT #
@Distantrambler Everything's going grand. Alone for most of the time except when Will comes down every other weekend in reply to Distantrambler #
@aarondonohoe It's always the kids – never the Burger King goodness in reply to aarondonohoe #
Ah, now I understand why editing the last batch of Platinum LP videos was so quick – I was running directly from the memory card… #
@phoenix2000us I see your JTV channel got pulled. Bummer, was looking forward to hopefully enjoying the IRL at Richmond with you tonight #
Time to cook these sausages before they expire soon. Hmm, chilli sausages with salsa in tortilla wraps… Sounds interesting #
@Cianmm Must you drag it out and bloat our twitter feeds…? in reply to Cianmm #
Salsa may have gone furry, but I'd still say a successful experiment. Now to air out the kitchen from all the burning cajun spice mix smoke. #
@duggan Not worth wasting time trekking to the cinema for then? Better off torrenting? in reply to duggan #
Blarg, @bsangel's forum down again… #
@NiallHarbison About sweet fucking time. in reply to NiallHarbison #
@TrustTommy I think there's a way using your functions.php file. I know I have mine set to not post stuff in the feed until after a delay. in reply to TrustTommy #
@thejetset I think it can, the closer you are to the Hub or Library the better. Signal might not be great though. in reply to thejetset #
Rahal finished third at Richmond. Great result for the McDonalds NHL team! #
@Igiggles Technically I shouldn't be, seeing as how I never went to bed… in reply to Igiggles #
If you ever come across player Znite on Xbox Live in Halo 3 – teabag his corpse everywhere and tell him it's from me. #
@Igiggles Let's just say… I could very easily write an article on online griefers for Shoryuken based on tonight. But bed is needed badly. in reply to Igiggles #
@mattfinucane Irish and UK users can downloads films from the video marketplace, but the selection is quite limited. in reply to mattfinucane #
@darraghdoyle Ummm, *rifling through* 69. #
@jpmontoya Would the track be better green on Monday? in reply to jpmontoya #
@darraghdoyle You do tend to get a *little* carried away when it comes to social networking in reply to darraghdoyle #
@darraghdoyle It makes dealing with comments and things like that so much easier. Except when places make you change your main email for it. in reply to darraghdoyle #
I sense this will be a very slow and uneventful evening. That and NASCAR. #
@imLOSTirl One number and two lucky stars? in reply to imLOSTirl #
I don't particularly feel like making food tonight. Think an order from the Humble Kebab is needed. #
@icedcoffee Nope. I really wish you could too, so I can import my posts from several different blogs in reply to icedcoffee #
@cloudsteph You don't need to be guilty over Indian. Just pretend the sauce isn't all that saucy in reply to cloudsteph #
Good start for @jpmontoya at New Hampshire! Now back to watching men drive around in circles #
I uploaded a YouTube video — Platinum LP – 17 – Wheeeee! Downwards! http://bit.ly/iO2YJ #
@thejetset Ah shite, Top Gear's on now? Feck it. I'll have to find it on YouTube tomorrow. Too busy with the NASCAR in reply to thejetset #
@thejetset No TV here. Had planned to watch it via a stream, but didn't realise NASCAR would overlap. in reply to thejetset #
Wow, major wreck at New Hampshire. Thankfully, @jpmontoya cleared it before it happened! #
Oh what the fuck? I go to refresh the stream because I was lagging, and not Justin.tv's giving me a 503?!?! #
Oh wow, really fucked up calling the race at New Hampshire. Being a flat track they could have easily finished on rain tyres. #
@jpmontoya Still think it could have gone back to green eventually. Picked off a few more spots and solidify the spot in the Chase! in reply to jpmontoya #
WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THESE FOUR-HOUR @YOUTUBE VIDEO UPLOADS GIVING UNKNOWN ERRORS WHEN THEY FINISH UPLOADING?!?!?! #
@thejetset I know, that's exactly the problem. My upload said 3 minutes to go, came back 10 minutes later and it had said it failed… in reply to thejetset #
