Gatsu
Shared on Mon, 03/26/2007 - 08:10Managed to work on my project over the weekend.
And I'm happy to say the guts are about 95% ready. Just a little tweak with the controller configurations once I build the joysticks and its ready to go.
The system boots right into the frontend software I have installed and you don't see any hint of Windows at all. Even if the program crashes Windows remains hidden. I love it.
Not only can I run Mame from this software, but all my other console emulators, and other PC software. So I'm running my Dance Dance Revolution software on it as well. I can listen to music through the jukebox in the software, internet radio, watch videos off my hard drive if I wish...and the GUI is customizeable!
How neato-keen is that. The program is called GameEx. Google it...its worth using.
---------------------------
Now onto other things. I know I mentioned last week that I wouldn't be blogging important stuff anymore...but I decided to say "to hell" with that...I need my venting space. And I need the friends I have in the community here to know how Im doing and whats going on with old Gatsu.
Julia and I are both in a really rough spot right now. Her medication isn't working as well as it should, so the voices and whatnot are especially loud, she's feeling suicidal, and her blood sugar is running rampant because of her hormones. So depression, sleeping all day and lack of communication are the norm right now.
She and I talked yesterday about what was going on...because for the past week we haven't really talked...she's filled me in on cutting sessions she's had for the past several weeks...just an overall picture of what was going on in her life...and its not that great.
It sucks...because alot of this stuff she can't do anything about until she gets her meds adjusted. But she knows I'm there for her if she needs me...even if its just to be around someone...we don't have to talk.
Aside from Julia...I've had alot of worry on my mind. I need more money to be able to afford to move on in the next step I wanna take in my life. I'm making $8.50 an hour right now and its just not enough. And to make things more interesting, when the other typesetter comes back from maternity leave, I'll be back to part-time status. Which cannot happen.
So I've gotta ask the boss for more money (at least $16.00/hr), stay at full-time status, or find somewhere else that will offer that and a health package.
My ultimate goal is to move to Florida and go to Full Sail for film production. But with my current salary its a un-realistic dream at the moment. But its a dream I'm not gonna let go of.
The stress of work and worrying about what was going with Julia took its tole on me this past weekend. I tried to accomplish some stuff just to keep my mind off of things...but overall I was unsuccessful. I'm feeling very tired, worn out and depressed about my overall position in life and how things are progressing. I know things in my life are no where near as bad as others...but we all have our own crosses to bear....and we all deal with things differently.
I haven't even picked up a controller for the past several days....so Im sure my clan is wondering whats up. The most I've done with my 360 the past few days was watch a movie. Thats it.
Thats it for now.
Gatsu OUT!
