I got my 36th AAA on Strategem. I hope that this AAA will should up in the Tier Point area unlike my Baby Don't You Want Me, which still hasn't shown up on the list even though I AAA that song over a month ago.

In other news, my graduation date has been moved back Dec. 08. The reason being that I had to drop a class and it was a class I needed to graduate. Maybe I have better luck in that class in the Fall. (This is assuming I will be able to pay for the Fall tuition.)

Edit (4-24-08): My 25th public AAA on Pita.

Edit (4-29-08): I have once again FC Ancient's Death. I have been trying to FC that song again for month and I somehow always messed up at the 56 step. It got to the point that I thought the first FC was a fluke, but no more. Now I have to just record the video and put it on Youtube.

*Edit (5-1-08): My Tier Point AAA count has been updated. It states that I AAA 37 songs, not 35 like I thought. So Strategem was my 36th AAA and Pita was my 37th. It makes me wonder how I lost count like that.

Edit (5-11-08): FC January's Song.
Edit (5-12-08): FC Story of Snowman & Sunshine Girl V2.
Edit (5-16-08): Power AAA (38th). Outside the Skies FC.

Edit (6-8-08): Indigo FC.
Edit (6-26-08): The Essential FC.

In December of 2007, my laptop went on the fritz and I had to borrow a laptop from the UConn School of Business. Well, once again, my laptop decided that it didn't want to work. The good news is that this time it is not such a huge problem. The only thing wrong with the is the fact that the suspension button responsible for turning off the monitor when you close the lid (when the laptop still running) decided to get stuck in the off position. So the button has to be replaced.

Why is it so important to have the button replaced? The answer is simple, if it's not replaced then I will constantly have to poke the button in order to see what I am doing on the laptop screen.

At least this time the loaner laptop is the same model as my laptop. So I could still play FFR if I wanted to.

Edit (5:30pm EST): I got my laptop back, but I'm not sure if it's mine or not. The manufacture sticker that was on the left (in the area where my palm rests when I am typing) isn't there anymore. Also the company's logo looks new, where before I could see wearing on it. Yet the keyboard that I have is the same. Maybe the only way they could have replaced the suspension button was to put a new cover on. Either that or they did a thorough job cleaning my laptop before returning it to me.

I got my 24th Public AAA on Love in the Hip-Hop section. In total, this is my 33rd AAA.

Edit (2/5/08): I just FC Diamond Heart in Dance. Now if I can only find Beethoven.

Edit (2/26/08): I FC Koala in the Spider's Web. I hate staircases, especially those that use 16th notes.

After being on hiatus from FFR for about 2 weeks, I've come back. On the first song that I played I got a AAA. (The picture can be seen in my gallery.)

What have I been doing for the past 2 weeks? I've been working on my first stepfile. The stepfile is of the song Ancient's Death by Manmademusic. I basically got tired of waiting for someone to make a stepfile of the song for Stepmania. Right now the stepfile has Light, Medium and Heavy steps. Light comes in at a 6, Medium at a 7 and Heavy at an 8. I might do a bit of tweaking on the file and then try to find some people to test it out.

I won't be playing FFR for awhile. The reason is because the laptop that I got from the UConn School of Business died on me.

At first they thought it was a problem with the hard drive. However, when they re-imaged the drive and put it back into the laptop, it still didn't work. So they decided to put in a new hard drive and it still didn't work. Therefore, the problem wasn't the hard drive, but possibly the motherboard, which means I got my drive wiped for nothing.

The School of Business gave me a loaner [laptop] until they could fix my laptop, but the RAM on it is 504 MB. So it lags on FFR. If you are wondering about how much RAM I had in my laptop, it was .99GB.

Gods I hope they fix my laptop soon.

Edit (12-14-07): Well, I now have my laptop back. Hopefully the problem has been fixed. I was told by the people at tech. service that the problem was with the hardware and they had to re-seat some of it. I asked what part got reseated but I got no answer to my question. Hell, when I asked if I could get a copy of the paperwork, I was told that no I couldn't, but there was a record on file.

I pray that my laptop doesn't break during the winter break.
