Reply to Too many hobbies, too little time (rambling) in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

Yeah, I have too many hobbies as well. I just started to do some iPhone Programming in my spare time (which isn't much with working 60+ hours a week, wedding planning ect). Creating my first game outside of Flash/HTML. Oh, and I need to get back to learning German. My company is based in Pontiac, MI and actually we are about to hire a couple of people, after a couple of lousy months its a good change.

Reply to Looking for New Router Advice in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

Linksys hasn't been very reliable for me unfortunately (replaced mine and my folks, 2 routers just quit working). I switched over to DLink networking equipment and haven't had any problems at all. Using a Wireless N is the way to go. Fast and great coverage as well. I went the cheaper route and went with a Wireless N router, and attached it to a gigabit switch for my desktop and NAS.

Reply to NEED MORE AI AGGRESSION in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well I find that the ai is always agressive with me. I play on large maps tight clusters 6 ai on challenging, and they always are going for my territory. Also this could be because I like to ally with all of the minor races and defend thier homeplanets from the agression of the major races. For some reason the major races love to wipe these guys out. I suggest you try that approach one game, always keeps me on my toes.

Reply to Loss of video signal/Restart in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah sounds like an overheating issue of your card, I had similar issues with my computer that I built, and a 20" box fan from walmart (one of those all weather types) attached to the side of the machine fixed that real quick.
