Taking the Transit

August 28th, 2008 by FergatROn

MARTA

It’s interesting taking the transit, here in Atlanta, Georgia, US. Compared to the place I spent most of my life – South Florida. I can rely on the transit system here, which is called MARTA. It has some funny colors, but I’m guessing because there are a lot of homosexuals here – dunno. The bus and trains are scheduled to run with each other – so that you simply migrate from one vehicle to another, but the problem with that is… there are people operating these vehicles and most of the time they are not on “schedule”.

How to Kill Processes via the Terminal

Hitman: How to Kill a Computer Process

I’ve ran into this issue, from time to time, where I can’t access my graphical system monitoring tool (System Monitor) to kill processes. Luckily at that time I do have access to Terminal. The next question is, “Well; how do I view the processes running and how do I kill them?” Good question (I sound like a schizophrenic), let me tell you how to view your active processes, all processes, and how to MDK (murder death kill; Demolition Man reference) them.

The Abomination Titled “The Incredible Hulk”

The Incredible Hulk (Pencil Drawing found at ReelComix.com)

My wife and I finally got another date night in the bag.  We went to see the well anticpated and ravely reviewed “The Incredible Hulk”.  From the title you can tell that my wife and I thought this movie was garbage.  Truth that they stayed true to a comic-book style, but a lot of the scenes were not believable.  How the army can reign havoc on a college campus or in a city and there be NO consiquences is beyond me.  Overall; it’s a summer action flick, but it is not as awesome as people were ranting on about.

Personally; I like the first one.  Even though it was more dramatic than this one, it showed me the human side of the Hulk, which in turn made me respect and fear him more.  The pure action-packed Hulk in the latest movie is just another creature to avoid.

My wife made a good point and it was they primarily made this movie only to link the new Avengers movie coming out.  This movie was not necessary, but the last scene in the movie told us ALL why it even came out.

Final Fantasy XIII Petition

I love this!  I heard this first on Born Stubborn Radio podcast and I almost couldn’t find it on YouTube.  I did and this guy will never get married nor will he ever have children.  Unless he was playing a character, he is bound to spend the rest of his life playing his Playstation and Final Fantasy series.

Forza and Me

Type R Bentley (Forza Motorsport)

I borrowed my brother’s Xbox to entertain both me and Alex (3-year-old son) last night.  I let him play “Cars” and I patiently waited for him to go to bed so I can play “Forza” - by falling alseep on the floor - genius!  After vigorously playing my campaign mode, acquiring three new cars, levelling to 10, and decaling the mess out of two cars I realized that I should not be going to bed some time after 3:30am.  I have too many things to do, in the morning, and video games is NOT one of them.  I must have played a straight 4-5 hour session and didn’t realize it.  Sure my fingers hurt, but it wasn’t an indication that I’ve been playing too long… just that I needed to not put so much pressure on the buttons. ;)
