Grim Views

I was on a Sci-fi kick and I had Moon in my Netflix queue. I was watching awful science fiction movies one after another and I assumed that this third party foreign film would suck just as much as the others. The moment it ended I called my brother and told him that he MUST watch it. Definitely a fl...

Extremely simple, looks messy but is awesome. All amounts are approximate due to my aunts and mothers years of making it means no measurements when I learned. Simple curry: 4 chicken thighs, bone in (more or less depending on how many you are feeding) flour curry powder large can of tomato chunks (...

I'm very hopeful for the rift. When it was first announced I assumed that it would bomb like the other 100 VR technologies that preceded it. Then Carmack got on board and they got my attention. After seeing a few videos I now realize that the technology has a LOT of potential. As for compatibility I...

Just to play with a funny idea. I imagine one NSA operator talking to another: NSA1 "We've infiltrated the third level of [REDACTED] terrorist organization." NSA2 "I'm still trying to get these roleplayers to let me in. I've discovered that they're using a secret form of communication...

Could you imagine if they tried to interface with The Grim? Haha I'm sure roleplayers are a hard nut to crack!

Ashenfury was asleep on a straw mat with his hands wrapped around his now bulging belly. His snore was that of a tired creature granted respite. Empty gourds of Orcish grog were strewn about the den. His shamanic shadow aggressively danced around the small cave of its own accord. When Knithawk warpe...

The first time I heard the name Tom Clancy it was on PC Gamer issue in the 90s doing an article about how they make games more realistic. Eventually he had his name slapped on games like Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell. The man really knew how to write an engaging story filled with politics and shadow...

Greebo, Grainger, you guys are amazing. Thanks for the help you two.

Okay. Now we're digging deeeeep. I'm a smacktard when it comes to networking so I'm exploring some shit I really have no business putting my nose in. Regardless I'm currently exploring: Tuning the OS TCP Buffer and tuning SQL*Net send/recv buffers to match the OS TCP Buffer. This stuff is really jus...

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the suggestions. I can't do a stubdb or even external tables because it has to reference data that came from another live import stream for validation. Basically we have what we call SS7 (signaling system 7). It has 5 records per call. We import those records and the...

can you change the architecture and get the loader running on something closer to home? Negative. This is our beta test for having a centralized server at our office and selling "collector" nodes to our end users. When we transfer the flat ASCII files to our local server and import them t...

In the office we have an 11.2 Oracle Enterprise Database that is accessible via WAN. We have another server at our customer location that collects data and stores it in flat files. The remote server then connects to the database over the WAN and imports the data residing in the flat file into the da...

I'm really fond of the Galaxy series. I have a Galaxy S2 and it does everything that I want it to except play high end mobile games (Dungeon Defenders) smoothly. An S3 would resolve that issue. I'm not sure if you're looking for Wifi or Cellular connection but I personally like the Wifi because I ca...

Basically that the constitution is being followed very well in this courtroom. This isn't some secret court, he wasn't shipped off to be held without trial, and that the biggest charge (which was silly) was debunked by a group of his peers. The man fucked up and deserves some prison time. There's no...
