My (Hopefully) New House
I am in the process of buying the house I have a purchase agreement in place, I have had an inspection done, I have had the Banks 203K consultant inspection done, and all that is left is the appraisal, title search, land survey, closing, and finding and hiring contractors. According to the purchase agreement, I should have the closing on or before December 1st but that is looking a little tight, however, it is the goal to shoot for.
The New Shop.DienstNet.Com Store
I have opened a new section to DienstNet.Com. It is a place where, if you want, you can purchase the results of my little projects. Currently they are all DVD’s so I recommend you check out that section of the store.
The latest DVD project was The Full Throttle Computer game video walkthrough. Full Throttle was a computer game that came out in 1995. I enjoyed watching the game more then playing it because it was so cinematic and had a good story. So at some point I video taped me playing the game from beginning to end. Just recently I took that footage and edited out all my mistakes and “deadtime for user input” to make this 94 minute Video Walkthrough of the game. Unfortunately the tape ran out a little early in the credits sequence so that is only partial. I may be on thin ice with this one so grab it while you can.
The Rebirth of my Saviour Machine (PC)
I got my PC back up and running. This time with (2) 120Gig hard drives set in a raid mirror. Hopefully now I am done with self destructing hard drives. Since I lost just about everything I took this opportunity to purchase the software I was planning to buy. Thanks to eBay I was able to get most of it at a great discount. I bought:
New Toys
I bought a Camcorder on eBay. I got a Panasonic L750 camcorder paying just under $100 including shipping and it came with all the extras, nothing missing or damaged even though it was a camera only open box auction. I guess I just lucked out. Overall eBay is great even though I have been burned in the past by a couple of people.
