Another weekend edition
// May 12th, 2009 // Mortis
What a nice and relaxing weekend. It was the first weekend for a long time when Hinote didn’t have any study and homework. It’s also the last one before she’s going to see her family and do summer classes there. So the plan for last weekend and this week is to spend as much time as possible together. We were downtown Friday night, watching the International and eating our traditional steak burrito/fajitas and Ice cream after. While heading home, we got grocery at the same time, with the risk of thunderstorm for Saturday, we wanted to avoid being in the middle of a sandstorm again.
We woke late Saturday, it was raining hard, but we got lucky, a lot of place in the GTA got Hail. I did some dailies while Hinote was still sleeping, and found a was to configure the NAS over PnP, so the PS3 can see it and be use as a media center. My computer is connected directly to the TV, but Hinote used the PS3 + USB stick when she wanted to watch something. It solve now, only problem with the share folder over the NAS is that it only refresh the list every 5 min in the GUI. I need to check if i can change the setting with a script.
It was sunny in the afternoon, I did quick errands, got 5 cheese pasta for us with bruschetta, some cookies and cream ice cream, and apple walnut scroll and chocolate scone for me for a quick snack in the afternoon. Having backery close to home is always fun.
We decided to WoW together when I got back. we got her mage almost to 62, its started well, but end up being ganked by a DK at same level that us. Having very low tolerance for ganking, and a level 80 avalaible, I end up flying the Shaman there for protection purpose. The DK died, and log out. So we are using mainly quests for rising her level. We ate dinner and watch Valkyrie after.
Sunday, I was updating stuff on Hinote laptop, it will be her main computer while she will be there. It,s a very nice laptop, but the memory was only at 512 megs, so a lot of swapping. I optimized the settings for WoW, but even Firefox was slow to load.It was sunny, so we decide to walk around. we got coffees and a muffin, walked where all the computer stores were, found memory for her laptop, stopped in a use gamestore also. It always a memories trip to see Nintendo Power Glove, some Atari, and a wall of Sega cartridge. When home, she installed the memory, I tested everything. It seem to swap less now. She worked on her jewelcrafting and needed some rare items, so I tried to solo an old 20 men raid. I got some of the items, but it was tough. We ate some chicken , rice, salad combo and spent more time together after!
