No biggie there. Reloaded all my apps, reset all my settings I had from my previous Centro, which was easily done, synchronize it with my computer, and bam, back and running in less than 15 minutes not including the charge. Took it to the store to get it activated, went back home and slept for the rest of the night with it on the charger.

A hardly two months later (Actually, just about two weeks ago), my battery life only held onto a charge of about 8 hours. My thinking, this can't be right...I've been holding a charge for about 3 days without having to plug in...what could be happening now? So I let it discharge completely until the battery was completely drained, then recharged it back to normal. Battery was normal again, 3 day charge, until it did it again, and the max charge was again lost within 8 hours, this time for days straight after discharging and recharging. With that, went to the Sprint store, got my phone replaced, but no battery came with the new phone, which is odd because I knew it was a battery problem, and not the phone.

Strange, amiriet?

Went back with the brand new phone (again, Berry, SO MUCH FOR RANDOM COLOR -- Pbbbt, Jog on.) the next day after I got off work at the Sprint store, they sent me ANOTHER phone, this time WITH a battery. Got it, charged it after I got it activated, and gave it a few days to see if it would reoccur again. Not even 48 hours the battery only held a 10 hour charge.

What I didn't understand, is that under the same exact settings on my Centros, with the internet going and email constantly being checked every 1~2 hours, using it periodically to make a call or surf the web off it, the original one still kept a three day charge while these, THREE of them couldn't even handle 8~10 hours of non/normal usage. (Seriously, I wake up this morning to unplug my cellphone from its charger around 10 am at 12 noon the battery was at 80%, and I didn't even USE the cellphone.)

Called the Customer Service Reps, and they're willing to send me another phone, this time the Blackberry Tour which I just ordered today around 2pm. Perhaps this'll let me have a decent chance of the use of another phone, different OS, just something differnt I guess. Though I still love the Centro and its almost-simplistic setup and almost infinite applications (There's like...thousands, some do the same thing the other does, but still), its a freaking lot. Just hoping I have the luck of having no problems like I did my first Centro with my Blackberry. Never had one, though seen it a lot at work from Co-Workers, so it should be an interesting experience.

Note, I don't want to dissuade anyone that had their eye on a Palm Centro, it was awesome, but my experience with Sprint sending what they called "Over-and-Beyond" repaired/refurbished stuff is what got me on edge. Other than that, the service was more than I had expected, at the store and on the phone, quickly got me in and out within a matter of minutes with what I wanted, and superb customer service. Kudos to them.

What would that be, artist block? Stupid Hand Syndrome? Whatever it is, it is seriously, starting to piss me off further as I want to start on a project, with my normal characters, and I -=/*HATE*/=- (emphasis on HATE) quitting near the beginning of it. Though as well, my thought process has also gone toward more so graphic modeling for Mabinogi for a new transformation that I want to get started with for my character BLDMaverick (Yes, I still play Mabi, BLDMaverick on Mari Server if you're interested.)

I'll still be helping out on "HowlCommentary", as to which we already have I believe seven videos up and going right now, working on some more for various other systems. Though I would like to request some assistance as to video recording and commentary with two people, being in two different states (Myself (Ren) in Indiana, and Koga where he is.) Trying to record single player games (none specified until we get things set up.) And at the very moment the only way to actually do this, is to record the gameplay, and do post-commentary (comment on the recording AFTER it has been recorded), which really I do not want to do, because on-the-fly commentary is much more appeasing and squeezing in humor into it is a lot more so easier than thinking it up while playing and then remembering what you said for the video. Also, DSL (90kb/s dl 30kb/s ul) FTL kthx. Though for $19.99 a month, its...meh for right now until I find something remotely cheaper, faster, and doesn't spike in price after the first three months.

I would go to another location to record...but...kinda need my equipment and I'm sure the library would immediately eject me from their location and the coffee shops have limited space and don't like it when you bring in your desktop computer, monitor, keyboard, and laptop and set up in their location JUST to record something for hours on end. (Imagines myself doing that and getting ejected again o3o)

Also for the record, my tablet is fine, my wall, not so much. -places a picture mounted on a frame over the dent in the wall- WAREN'T ME~ -buggers off-

.......FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING.... I think...seriously...my arms have ceased to function properly when sketching anymore @_@;...

Been too busy playing Garry's Mod, Team Fortress 2, and sometimes a bit of Counter Strike: Source. All three for the lulz on Steam as to which I had gotten not too long ago due to the fact that....uhm...I just dunno.

Lately I haven't had all that much in computer issues that couldn't be fixed quickly (making bluetooth function again, reformatting like....8234324983 times with the laptop, new one ish mind you. I've had it for a long time (several months-ish. Yes...ish. Get over it >: )

Other than that, if anyone still reads from here (which I would be...rather surprised o3o) add me on Steam (Zeroshadow_1), I'll be on there more than likely than anywhere else due to another "artist block", since I can't think of a single THING to think of as for drawings go.

I'll...have to think of something sooner or later, but right now, enjoy a bit of this : [link] Not made by me, but still humorous.

ALSO on a side note, I'm starting up (along with a good friend of mine) a game commentary name on youtube/viddler, once I get everything set up as for the videos and uh....getting them down to SIZE (each vid for 10 minutes is like 2gb, which is IRRITATING though considering I'm using two computers (one play, other record), a tv tuner (~$90), a RF Modulator (around $20), and a VGA to RCA converter (~$30), plus other cables needed, such as RCA to Stereo (~$10), Coaxial 6' (~$5-$10) Once I get things going for those to function, look good, (a few example vids I did : [link] aaaand apparently dA likes to put smilies whenever it sees "" in a HYPERLINK, completely screwing up the link. SO, in that fashion, when done viewing the first video, just go to my videos and look at "[ Prototype ] - Interior Base Run"(no sound in the second one, it being the first initial recording) I'll start posting and let everyone know the user of the account. :3 It'll be awhile before I can actually get everything going and functioning...as to which I hope is extremely SOON.

Anywho, I think...that's all I can think of for this journal update, perhaps wasted 3 minutes of your life but all in all fun times, no?

Regardless, I've been caught up in Mabinogi....STILL...ever since they released Elves I've been running around as a midget, (AITOIDS, not ALTOIDS, but properly cased - AItoids) and took up into a bit of graphic modification as well so now I can be Zeke as an elf x3 I'll post that in a few moments from this journal release.

I've been meaning to start up into comic drawing...but don't expect that in a looooong while .3. ...... not until I can get into a system of where my art is cleaned up and I can get some backgrounds properly going. And mind you they'll be test comics, just to get into the flow of things >: Nothing big like a web comic.

Until then...~

Maverick.

If anyone wants to chat, or whichever, I've been on a game known as Mabinogi, and MMORPG from Nexon, Originally from devCAT in Korea. The game I must say, its absolutely fabulous. The ability to choose your own path of light or dark, and to be able to choose your own skill set, without being limited to certain classes. You can be any class you want: Swordsman(warrior), Ranger(Archer), Wizard, Healer, or merchant type. You can make your own equipment (at higher levels they become more efficient), You can enchant your equipment to have certain abilities with enchant scrolls, or take the enchantments already on the equipment, burn them with a certain procedure, and put them on your own equipment. The community is very friendly, and willing to help you, even if you just started.

I'm based in the Mari server, normally channel 2 (Seperate channels to keep the lag down for the server). I'm BLDMaverick, the little red short person (literally, almost all red). I'm usually on anytime past 3pm until 10pm est.

Until I get inspiration, laters!~

Enjoy the clip, staring Wario and Waluigi. Comments should go onto youtube, or here, either or really ;|.

Some things I've gotten over the weekend (mainly Friday/Saturday), a touchscreen for my laptop (its too small, but still works), which was friggin' sweet, considering it was only ten bucks. Plus it uses a Serial cable (the ancient seven prong (?) connector) ._.;;Another item, a Sony Clie (Kuh-Lee-Eh << Pronounciation ;] ) for five dollars, considering its five years old and still works <3. Right now I'm trying to invest money into a new notebook system, though I'd trash Vista for XP, woo more money to spend @-@;; fun.

The problem with going back to Fedora 8 is that I don't have all the drivers for my stuff (i.e. last time I had madwifi for my atheros card [built in], I had it working, now, ....How the hell did I get that to work again?....) So yeah.
Sooooo sometime in the near future I need to get Azureus working once again, download Fedora, and go from there (livecd or otherwise) .....Currently 1:06 AM, I have to be up at 7 to be at work at 8, I swear to Bob I'mma smack my laptop if it does that again (fatal error from Explorer, I JUST INSTALLED IT DAMMIT !! ;~; ) God I wish I could get another laptop soon....without Shi-sta .....HAH that was good <3
