My van is secured

Posted on November 6th, 2008 by hamstar

Finally got the alarm put in my van today. $168 for the alarm on clearance price, $225 for the install by Warlocks. No one can steal my stuff now… unless they’re really crafty. So just gotta fix up one of the doors that doesn’t central lock, put the front speakers in, tune all the sounds, and she’ll be finished!

So stoked. Hopefully by next week it’ll all be done.

Bought a guitar also. A BC Rich Warlock with a Marshall amp, only 30w but meh.

Shrap says its a piece of shit, and that BC Rich guitars sound like ass, but fuck him lol, he has a $NZ12,000 guitar! Of course anything is going to sound worse than that. Lucky little bastard :P Doesn’t matter anyway, I’m going to downtune that badboy so much you won’t be able to hear life let alone ass.

Plus, I found out next year
hotlinking ftw are releasing a new album! W00t! Hopefully it’ll be real deathy/thrashy! So hopefully they’ll be touring again! Hopefully they’ll come here. So full of hope am I.

Fuel price conversion between countries

Posted on June 28th, 2008 by hamstar

So I got bored last night and was sick of asking nimby for how to convert between NZD and litres to USD and gallons. Then I found a think on google to do it so I made a simple front end for it.

So at our current fuel price of $USD2.24 a litre (for 98 (92US) octane), that is $USD6.42 a gallon in US measurements. And currently they are paying $USD4.05 a gallon, so we are paying ~$USD2 more than them per gallon.

Dream: Real IRC?

Posted on June 15th, 2008 by hamstar

This morning I woke up on the couch and Becky was pouring water on my face. Hardy-ha-ha always the joker eh… lol.

Went back to sleep and this random as dream. Don’t know where it was, maybe america somewhere. Me and Lilley were working(?) there for some reason. It was a place that looked like a cross between an office and a kitchen, but most people were playing games like UT.

Anyways there were some drinks or something and everyone was getting trashed and I think doing mushies. Was pretty fun. Could’ve been a representation of IRC perhaps?

I think someone spiked Lilley’s and she was getting a bit messy, then it was time to go and I ended up looking after some random chick and some dude was looking after Lilley. I was watching her incase that was the dude that spiked the drink but she looked with it and like she knew him so I didn’t worry too much.

We had to walk back through this forest place path thing the girl I was looking after got picked up and I came accross Lilley alone in the forest thing. I was like “Who the hell would just leave you alone here?”, and walked off with her.

That’s pretty much all I remember…
