I got my wheels back
Tonight I decided to hit the Rollerdrome for my now usual fortnightly skate. I sat down tied my skates up then hit the rink. The first thing I do when I get on the rink is to check the grip and holy shit — my wheels did not stick to the ground. This is quite awesome because it meant one thing. The last times I’ve been skating I haven’t been able to powerslide properly; powersliding is where you put all your weight on your wheels going the opposite side to where you were skating, it also makes loud noises and sometimes sparks (if you’re lucky).
This was so great. It meant that I had pretty much the best control I could have. Reminded me of back when I used to skate at Rolloways as a teenager being able to do freaky skate shit, like diving in between clumps of people who are slowly skating around. Catching that half a second window you get between people and sneaking up to someone and letting a massive sounding powerslide go.
I’ve been skating for a pretty long time, ever since I was 13. I took it up because I really slow at running and I needed something to do in my spare time; skating seemed pretty good. Started with the learn to skate program, did all the star classes and ended up pretty decent at skating. (I will not mention that it was a figure skating class either… then again I was one of the few people that figure skated in speed skates)
It’s just so exciting feeling the air rush through you, knowing you are in complete control and you can recover from any slight slip-up with mad balance control.
I’ve been going road skating a fair bit. My recent and longest skate going at a constant speed (mostly because there was NO ONE at all on the foot/bike paths) was the following RunKeeper entry: http://rnkpr.com/a5rhfd. Of course, this skate might of effected my wheels as I was using rinky wheels instead of road wheels. My axels are fucked okay.
Looking forward to some more skating. Considering being a referee for the upcoming roller derby games. I think learning a massive rulebook to see girls beat and trip each other up would be well worth it. 
And that, is how I roll.
This is a test post
No really. I’m testing twitter-tools integration. What up.
Zone Warriors updates
As a few of you already know, I’ve been slowly working on a secret zone stats projects. It’ll be hosted on zone-girls.com until I can afford a new domain name and hosting.
The data will be collected by Torn XML files and it will also be manually entered if data is pre-Torn. You will be able to select a tournament, or a competition. The interface will show a table of the teams (leader board style) where the user can click on a team for a certain to break down into the team’s scores over the season, bested colour as well as other stats. Then it’ll have links to the players on the team then bring up stats for that player, in that certain tournament. It will also link to the players “global” profile, listing their achievements, teams and competitions participated in. Highest rank in x. MVP count. Number of trophies. That kinda junk.
The post production name is not set in stone, so I’m using Zone Warriors as the name.
There will be pretty graphs, no doubt about that. Also an achievement system where I am happy for suggestions. Leave a comment here or a message on the Darkzone WA forums.

Reactivated some EVE Online
Yeah, thanks reaps for tweeting about the last couple of days, also CCP for sending me emails to activate my account 5 DAYS FREE $9.99 WOOOOO. Both of my accounts have been activated again. My main and my ex-spy-alt, which I thought I would give to Sera so we can play together.

So, we got World of Warcraft MMO gaming mice
My bestie decided to purchase a couple of these World of Warcraft MMO gaming mice for my birthday. They look pretty great, having 15 buttons, cool glowing OLED that pulsates. It takes a while to get used to the handling and the design since it’s a bit different to normal, more ergonomic mice. But apart from that, so far, the hardware acts really well. The buttons are well placed and it’s very good.
One slight problem. The software that comes with is absolute crap. It’s very poorly written. It can’t even handle malformed XML and will just crash. Error handling? Jesus christ learn how to. I tried to simply import a profile via the armory and I get an AP MFC error. Why? because the image location has changed or something. How hard would of it been to, say if there was an error. 1) Display there was an error getting the image 2) Replace it with a stock image. Oh, the images? they’re STOCK IMAGES AND DO NOT REALLY CHANGE. You could of distributed them with the package.
The only problems I have had though, are to do with profile handling.
The other options in the software are okay, such as setting up key bindings, macros and junk like that. I’ve recently bought my mouse into work and bound cut, paste, hide desktop, tab forward, tab backward, build, build project and it works pretty well.

Here is my guess list from the above video. 85/100. The list is a bit messy because I was frantically writing them down. xD The music is also pretty fucking awesome.
Combined graph in ASP.NET with OWC
It took me a while to find out how to get a hang of making graphs in ASP.NET combined with OWC. There aren’t many places on the internet that show, or have a good guide. I was having troubles with creating a combined OWC graph in ASP.NET and I finally worked it out. I thought I would share. I’ve left some of the different methods and properties in there, mostly the styling ones to give a better idea on how to style your graph to suit you. The DataTable bit is in there also. If you want to test it straight out you can replace that with an array of your choosing. :]
