ok all i took a walk quickly with the head on today. after the thrid wave of film shooting i had like 3 min to spare so i got this done.




what you think of that setting?

ok all im going to be leaving the furry comunity as of now.
i had holly get rid of all ties to me on wikifur and now leaveing it due to me going semi professional with my costume.
i do this since i DO NOT!! want a tainted name for any future careers if they happen.
that might include kids events or even possibly kids shows. since the media and nasty people tend to blow alot of that out of context.
also the furry comunity had got a bad rep big time withing the last 5 years or so.

i know this might be sad to most. ill be keeping my rif name in AIM etc.. but once the name is changed my journal will be deleted. since then kids will be looking me up all over the place at that time. then thats when i will "with an iron fist" limit friends to a G rating. meaning i will look on thier journals before i add them.. if i see anything non G rating i wont add them. so yeah. its sad but too i want to keep this family oriented now.

everyone keep an eye out for wikifur as i know some people can re-add the thing in there again.. if that happends ill go directly after them.. :hope they like lawsuits then >:P"

meantime ill keep posting randomly here. and let you know on whatever new name we choose im still open to suggestions. names for a fox scientist type would help. :)

ok all i decided to make this public. its a old rev of my midi player.
this thing is old so it might not sound like my newer one but its not bad and uses like 2% cpu so it can be played while surfing etc.
there is no filtering on the insterments so they are all in thier raw formats. this is why i am making this free..

install instrunctions

1 download the file from here http://www.sendspace.com/file/axq153
2 intstall it to c: and c: only since it will make other folders and icons for your desktop.
3 run and enjoy.

this player is setup right now for mst midis it only supports drag on and drop mode. and once its done playing it will close itself off.

everyone have fun!

if it fails to install properly you need to still put it in a folder on c: where the main program folder is called timidy. since all the insterment locations point to that folder.

i recently seen this real nice laptop from asus and well looking at it at what it comes with looked cool.. what was even better is that this thing can run win XP!!!

i was like yes! finally. whats best is its cheap. $200 to $450 depending what you need or want on it. like memory upgrades etc.

what i would need is the basic unit and a external dvd reader and writer and im happy.
whats better is this thing is fast.. its 900mhz.. same as mine i have now. but this thing runs circles around mine.. so they did some tweaking.
here it is with win XP on it booting up.

thats the fastest i seen yet. well on that speed.

i seen other demo videos of people playing WoW and others stuff at real good framerates.
now this im actually thinking of getting before i hit the mac. they finally made something that seems good and toss vista out in the garbage!!

here is thier site for more info.
http://eeepc.asus.com/ca/product.htm

dont let the size fool you it can run full 3d games. i seen that thing in action. despite what media says.
even seen one running the mac os lepoerd. so its basicly a tiny PC. what you can load on it i guess its up to you. :)

for me it would be a replacement for this big clunker of a boat ancor i got now.

well i tested and charged all my alkaline batteries now.
here is a picture what i used.




it has a max charge of 160Ma so it wont destroy the batteries. works real well i did a 5 hour charge today in 2 of these chargers. and im still playing them in my cd plater now.. going for about 1 hour 30 min. and its still full.. so i suspect the battery is about 80% full after this type of charge.
you can never tell how strong these type of batteries usally are so i just go by Ma time.. ill just keep it at a max 5 hours.. if it discharges fast then ill leave them in longer.

but yes it works :) and no special chargers needed. like i told someone else in the older post he was pushing another charger that sucks. i tried those other alkaline chargers before and they are usally junk.. most of the time never working fueling the big companys even more.
all the cells i used were completely flat.. no power at all!! and this brought em back as if they were new.

so yeah im happy.

well im still hooked on the old radio shows from the 30's to the late 60's
and best of all that they are all free over the internet.
my collections of those are mostly all complete with about 70,000 shows on my cd's
here is a sample of one of them. the most wacky one of them all LOL

http://www.freeotrshows.com/otr2/1958-03-09_0012_-_Goon_Show_the_-_Dreaded_Piano_Clubber_the.mp3

that one made me laugh my head off.
however if you guys want more ill include some links so you can choose from diffrent shows to listen or download.

there you go that would keep alot of you busy for some time. thise things are way better than audio books. the mystery ones are ok. and well i find these better than most tv shows now. gets your imagination working rather than drooling in front of the tube.

well i came across this nice article.

http://www.afrotechmods.com/reallycheap/batteries/batts.htm

and well i tested it on a dead cell i have here. i used a real low and slow charger for this. my old solar one that has a max current of 180Ma

and you know what it frekin works. however its advized you leave it in for about an hour in and hour out. since these batteries hate heat from the charging cycle. im going to have to see how many cycles i can toss the battery in before it gives way. but yeah keeping the charging current low helps.

and here the battery companys say you cant recharge them.. PFFFTTT!!

well this was possably the most fun i had in a real long time.
most of the people there never expected me to be there in full costume. but yep.

alot were amazed on the realism of the head and almost fanted when i was talking since they never expected the mouth to move. so some kids were again scared for life running off to hug mom's legs. LOL
im uploading the pictures that are on my camera.. there was more taken with my friend there as well as some video.. but that might come out down the road since we might make a video out of the rest of it.
one of the ladies there wanted to spin my tail with the spinning wheels as well. :P

anyways here is the small gallery for you to see..

a bit of an update yeah the name will need to be changed. :(
i had some help looking through it and well it resembles the game char too much.. so well im going to be collecting orignal names soon. and will pick from there.. short ones usally work best.

hehe hollyann will be an orphan now LOL

ill still be the same tho. same personality etc but with a diffrent name. heh alor of work renameing my IM's etc but it will be a bit like spring cleaning.

so all ill be taking ideas for new names. :)

ok all this is going out to everyone.
im thinking of doing a complete name change to seperate myself from the inherit the earth game.
just in case i end up doing an event with kids etc and the game company sues me over something silly.

ill still have the same characteristics and colors but name will be diffrent.

then once i have a new name ill have to go change it on everything.
that then will be my new name :)
anyone have any ideas?
in the past holly remembers one i had was named Ruph.. other than that give me some ideas :)

i found a trick that will turn alot of youtube videos in a much sharper and better image.
however this works as long as you dont have any altering devices on your browser.. like firefox plugins that change youtube stuff.

here is a sample of what i mean.
this is HD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgzIM-9lfA&fmt=18

this is normal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgzIM-9lfA

the trick is this..
at the end of the youtube URL's add this line of code... &fmt=18

and thats it.. most will look real clear.
if they dont it means you have something patching youtube videos. like a plugin.

i was watching vids for a while useing this trick :)

enjoy :)

ok this is just insane. we got 51CM of snow in one day alone. plus all the other snowfalls. its all pileing up we dont know where to put all the stuff.

soon i might have to sell this on ebay. LOL

here is some pictures of the dumping.
http://pics.livejournal.com/rif_fox/gallery/0000rbsw

yes now i go frinds only due to trolls.
i might put all my other posts as friends only as well. allowing only a few to be seen but not many.

ok everyone on live journal this is going out to all who try contacting me in my AIM,ICQ,YIM or MSN

im starting to crackdown on all furrys that do not speak to me, talk gibberish/immature etc..
im getting alot of furres adding me lately and they are just acting wierd. example i talk and all i get is a reply is hehe or *cuddles*.
im putting my foot down on alot of this now.. i do not want to be in the part of a furry group that behaves or acts like this. i seen too many nasty things that are going on in both the media and in real life out there.. and man!! its just getting worse..
so im cleaning out my instant messengers.. anyone that has not said anything within a month will go.
as for the ones that talk about nothing at all.. usually wasting my time. i seem to be getting alot of that lately. :(
and also the ones that use emoting even when not in a game..

i will start with the following.. starting new years.. this will also affect my emails as well..

below is for my IM's first

1. before you add me in your IM's read my journal or background info.. don't add me just because i sound cool or interesting. im not playing babysitter no more.

2. if you do alot of cussing consider that an instant delete.

3. no negative talking or conversations. im depressed enough right now to hear more from the media and anything else.. you will now be given 3 warnings.. on the 3rd will be a delete and a block.

4. no garble talk and play talking.. like *snuggles* *kiss* this is aimed towards the males out there.. i find this icky. you will be warned again with the 3 strike count.
the real females out there are ok with that.. but if a guy is playing a female ohh boy there is a ban on that!

5. now i know there is a good percentage of the furrys out there that are gay.. this i avoid.. but others try coming on to me in the past. this is a banning offence. also i might start doing background checks as well. when i add someone now you will be given a 2 week trial in my lists. if i see any strange behaviour like this zaap!!

6. also alot have seen that im single.. and even tho i am that dont mean that all those kids will try to hit on me.. ill say now im old going on 37. so there.... all that info is here now as well if i have 16 year olds hitting on me they will as well given a warning.. if ignored i delete them.

these will also affect my email same terms.
im just distancing myself from the nasty furrys out there.. most are nice but im finding the corruption is getting worse.
again these take effect now!!
so if any of you are in my IM's better say something soon before i start the purging and deleting.

well this was a fun halloween. :)
http://pics.livejournal.com/rif_fox/gallery/0000qw0e

there was a number of kids that thought my costume was real.. one even was saying that masks are not supposed to talk.

a few others were looking for seams or zippers. and gave me a strange look when they could not find any. but yes there were lots of people taking pictures that night.
however no friends to take many of me with kids. so these were the only ones i got that night. i was going up and down the street when it was bright out as well.

enjoy the pictures. :)

ok all i got results back from one of my friends he did a few avi's from the camera here is the result!!






now the quality is bad and there is no audio.. i should try improve this with my camera one day with a better picture as well.

and yes holly i went that far :P

here is a picture of some tomatos from the garden.. some people flip out on the size of them. :)

well this is it my final panel and its a monster.

65 watts and after a full test today at speed charging AA's it really passed.
got over 90 AA's done in a span of 5 hours. i riged up a 15 min charger up to it.
next i should get an inverter and try see what else it can run.. i know a laptop will be simple.

here is a select few what i thought was best out of alot of them we took today.
http://pics.livejournal.com/rif_fox/gallery/0000h13e

well i have a foldable solar.. or should i say had one.. they seem to be not good in lasting.


over time with all the folding etc.. the braided wires under that plasic fabric break. and renders it useless.. i even tried re soldering it.. and they just break again.. life span of those is 1+ years. then they go dead..
and usally they only have a 1 year warrenty. :( well i guess ill stick to solid state after this run in.

what i might do is cut open the thing and save the solar cells. thats if they can be removed.

man what a waste of money!! :(
