I started playing Zelda again. Majora's Mask and OOT: Master Quest atm, Wind Waker after that.

tl:dr Zelda is awesome.

sup lod, ran 3.25 miles. i think i may have been able to do more, but i didn't want to fall over when i stopped running.

i guess i should buy some gatorade or something.

also now i have a nosebleed.

[QUOTE=mnemonic;17888185]also sup lod, just woke up at like 11am, took a shower, then i'm gonna hit the gym for a bit and meet with my strategic management group at like 3 so i can tell them what i'm doing for our project.

after that iunno maybe i'll come post in the lod.[/QUOTE]

oh man "hit the gym" bugs me so much, its the ****ing lamest phrase ever

or at least one of them

NO-ONE can make it even remotely cool

What if they were physically going to hit the gym, like, just punch the gym, somehow?

computer question.
 

hey guys i have wireless internet. is there an attacment i can get to extend the range of the signal power i can get?

At your computer's end or your routers end? At the computer's end I don't know, but I've heard people say making a dish (kind of like a satellite dish) out of tin-foil will help "direct" the signal and can give better reception if your computer is in that direction.


If you have some cash on you and your computer support Wireless-N then go pick up an N-Router. Figure out how far you need and get a 150/300 depending which you really need.


edit:

Something like this:

That looks like a botched Blue Peter creation.

You can get a massive aerial for you PC and router and extend your coverage a little. Nothing is gonna get a Wifi signal through 2-3 walls, though.


Anywhoos, planning 3 miles tomorrow then 10k (6.2miles) on Sunday. Work was well busy tonight, had to go full belt, pah.

I'm getting swivel studs put on my rifle tomorrow so I can get a bench/prone bipod, for the accuracy. Check out my tacticool rifle I made on pimpmygun.

Also watching Deep Blue Sea. Derp. How's everyone on MX tonight?

Tired to balls mate. Just finished day 5 of 6, maybe 7 of recording. Had to work straight afterwards. But on the plus side I have a Whammy pedal now. Oh also a Mac G4 for a tenner.

WTF £10.

I'll give you £20 for it, that's doubling your investment. That's good business.


Anywhoos. I just finished my working week, and need to do some dissertation this weekend.

High gain antenna :smoke:

[QUOTE=Left Face Down;17887890]Need to tweak my resume and apply for another job, going to play Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and guitar.


That kind of sums up my life right about now. Though yesterday I spent 5 or so hours cleaning my mother's GMC Envoy XL inside and out. The day prior spent about 3 on her Dodge Durango as it didn't need to be vacuumed. Might wash my 4Runner tonight, I did wash it about a week ago. It has just rained a lot so it got dirty. :upset:[/QUOTE]

lol soon you'll be hanging out at bingo and talking about shampoo products

ha i use that windsurfer ariel thing


u prinf of the diagram and cut up the paper and wrap tinfoil, looks a bit crap but hey i can tell u straight up it freaking works

i only use it if im on xbox live or streaming something or downloading, it does increase the speed a bit

Make a cantenna, there should be a way to rig one up for a laptop. Also, I'm officially on spring break, **** yeah.

[QUOTE=nght5tlkr;17889175]High gain antenna :smoke:[/QUOTE]

any one brand that stands out?

i have one downstairs i bought it then realised i cant take the fcking antenna off the router.. it was soldered directly to the freaking circuit board

ffs think it started with a, airwolf or something

why are you running so much?

and why are you running on consecutive days?

AG are you putting little accessories on an airsoft gun

One question at a time ladies;

mnemonic: Because pimpmygun doesn't have bullpup lower recievers I had to combine two, so therefore a massive array of buttons/switches.

Squiggs: Because I'm enjoying it and consecutive days is what I have available. The 3 miles will be a slow run, because the 10k is gonna be tough. I'm doing the Pier to Pier run in May which is 7.5 miles so I'm training a bit for that too.

Brucey baby: It's not airsoft, it's an air rifle; .22 caliber lead leaving the muzzle at 900-1100 fps =/= .177 caliber light plastic ball leaving at 300fps.

you have an air rifle that looks like that?

My god.

Have the rabbits started shooting back or s/th? Or do you just use it to field strip and add bits to

the most i'll do is sprint training on grass

running on concrete ****s your joints up no end

and consecutive days **** that

Man, I need to get going to the gym. I've put on weight this year - not much but enough to be noticeable. Strangely enough I've been more active than I've ever been, what with taking up hockey and such.... o.O

If you're aiming to lose weight don't bother with joining a gym.

There's plenty of free or FAR, FAR cheaper ways of doing exercise than being paying stupid amounts to access a treatmill or a shitty cross trainer.

[QUOTE=Squirrel;17889924]running on concrete ****s your joints up no end[/QUOTE]

I don't particularly beleive that. And with decent shoes/socks you can pretty much nullify the fact you're running on concrete.


[QUOTE]and consecutive days **** that[/QUOTE]

If it were a perfect world I'd run every other day, indeed.


Also that gun is just a gun I designed for fun on [url]http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/app.php[/url]. It has nothign to do with real life.

This is my air rifle:

Also, this. Are you hanging around Newcastle after term finishes Mop? When my fitness levels are a bit better we can do some grass training. Nothing beats high intensity sprints + medicine ball + weight drags + pushups for losing weight.

HIIT is all you need for fat loss.

And running on concrete ****s your joints no matter what you wear. Just cause you spend 200 quid on some fancy shoes that make your toes all lovely and comfy doesnt stop that.

Support does nothing aye? I'd be better running barefoot?

Pah.

Any sort of excersice ****s your joints, because our joints are not meant to last beyond 45-50 years.

I didn't say supports nothing. I said the opposite.

It ****s your joints because it compacts your joints square on, much like when you land from a jump with straight legs. It's essentially blunt force trauma, with resistance at both ends. Sadly your joints give more than the concrete beneath your feet and take the force, or more specifically, damage, for it.

Running on concrete is one of the worst exercises for your joint, arguably THE worst. Plenty of exercises are better for you. Swimming for example. Even weight-lifting is better for your joints.

Shoes can absorb most of the energy from the impact on concrete, I've been running with poopty shoes for years until my knees gave me a payback, now I'm running with proper shoes and have no problems at all, even with asphalt on 1/8 of my running track (8km).
It took me half a year to recover though.
