That moment when childhood finally catches up with you...

Random Fact: Even though there's hardly anything that currently uses the full bandwidth of PCIe as of yet, PCIe 4.0 is already rolling out, and 5.0 is in the works, both of them greatly increasing the bandwidth. Again.

There's Discord, and then there's... Discord.

Random Fact: Before the rise of smartphones, Qualcomm was a small-time chip maufacturer. Now they're an up and coming rival to Intel and AMD.

Thoughts & Opinions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As per usual, daily internet outages are back with the school year in full-swing.

Today pretty much all but confirmed that I'll be leading a sizable chunk of the school robotics team.

Hey, folks. Like most of you, I saw the series finale this past weekend. And like most of you, I've had my own issues in dealing with it, wondering what it means for the site, for the fandom, for my own stories, and for myself. So consider the following blog entry my attempt to help myself through it and sort through all my myriad thoughts and emotions.

In truth...

For me, the show ended a long time ago. The season four finale was the last contiguous episode I watched. The show had become predictable and stale. The sincere optimism and slice-of-life tone that I had enjoyed no longer entertained me. The jokes no longer landed, and the plotlines failed to surprise me. And the writers had started to run out of ideas even then; at the time I joked that they had gotten DBZ in my MLP, given the laser dogfight that ended season four.

Once again, I repeat myself: Screw Comcast.

Random Fact: Comcast and Centurylink, as well as a smattering of smaller ISP's, were recently hit with a massive, rolling set of internet outages caused by technical issues on Centurylink's behalf. Ironically, this is due to Centurylink having scooped up an ISP called "Level-3" that provides access to other ISPs. Including itself and Comcast. Unfortunately, I'm still feeling the brunt of that.

Random Fact: It's indeed still possible to use a 56k modem to load modern websites. It's just painfully slow.

Now that I'm practically a full quarter into the school year, you can probably tell that I've gotten comfortable by the massive load of productivity that I've pretty much slapped down wherever I've gone.

Somehow, in Angry Birds 2 in the Arena, I beat someone with nearly 100 ranking points more than me.

Let's get this thing back on track, shall we?

Random Fact: in most devices, if adequate cooling isn't provided, than the CPU and other components may begin to "thermal throttle"-- that is, slow down in order to prevent overheating.

Honestly, it actually kinda feels weird doing actual writing again after around a month-long hiatus.

Honestly, my avatar looks a bit... off.

Random Fact: While most dogs shed, there's a class of dogs that are typically known to by "hypoallergenic", and usually won't shed their fur. These dogs are usually very good pets for people with allergies to dog fur, since their fur isn't going to stick to everything.

Pony terminology is confusing. What's the alternative for "handiwork" or "craftsmanship?" Is there one? And if there is, are there more like this? Do we switch "hand" for "hoof" and "man" for "stallion" or "pony?" They seem like a pretty gender ambiguous culture--but still use "guys" as a way to call a general group, typically between friends. On the other hand--or hoof--they also have pretty serious gender roles. Hell, ninety percent of the male population is in the guard. Ever wonder why

The title says it all! I have some wonderful news to share today. Though I was unfortunately unable to talk personally with 4Everfreebrony at the last BronyCon, I was able to get in contact with him afterward to ask permission to make some stories using songs of his as inspiration! What does this mean exactly? My original plan for now is to use 9 songs from 4Everfreebrony's wide musical selection to create a story. And I wish to be clear here, this is not a 1:1 representation of what each and

That's basically it.

Okay, so I didn’t actually finish writing chapter 3 of The Secret of the Crystal Ponies while I was gone, but I got a lot of it written, so yay! It’ll definitely go up before the end of August.

If Twilight hadn’t already planned her family vacations before Once Upon a Zeppelin, she’s definitely doing so now. Honestly, Twilight had all the power in that situation (the passengers came to see the princesses, after all), and should’ve negotiated the schedule. My being angry at the situation kept me from enjoying this episode much. But I did like the recreation of the star reformation at the end- that was cute!

Well, this story was certainly an experience. It's always interesting when one of the voices in my head decides to speak up and make me pen their word fountain for them, and then insists that I post it or they will not shut up. Last time that happened actually it was with my voice named Mia and the story she prompted me to write was "Into The Mirror" which, Ironically, made it to the top of the featured page.

I have been monitoring my views for a while now for both blogs and stories. It's actually quite easy when I have little to no traffic on my page. Yet, on almost regular basis, my blogs and stories will get a view or two per week. Being fully aware that opening blogs and stories myself will add another view, I have been avoiding to do that. So I doubt it's all my doing. Still, even if the views go up, I never receive any comments or votes. (Up or down) It doesn't seem to matter what the blog is
