Years ago I developed a data scraping program that pulled all the info from stubhub.com and store it into a database via a python script. It worked great but stubhub eventually changed their code and it broke. I never developed the front end to present the data either due to finding a job. Well I think I might give it another go but on a local level with local bands.

I use to be a pro eyefinity type of guy when it came to gaming. So much though that I added 2 x 6870′s, a new power supply and a 3.1ghz amd 8 core chip overclocked to 3.8ghz (I’m an AMD fanboy so kiss my ass. I know it’s not the best chip out there but price to performance with AMD always pays off). It took me from 24 fps to about 30-34 with higher video settings. Not much of an improvement at all and I was quite disappointed, until I tried different settings for our clan leader.
Sparky, our leader, had suggested I limit the full screen settings just to my center monitor to see the frame rates I got. Instantly, it went from 6048 ? x 1080p @ 24 fps with medium to low settings to 1920 x1080 @ 60-80fps on Ultra settings. To be competitive in the game, you need at least 50fps. Eyefinity is great for an MMO like Eve Online. I could run it at max settings in that game and it was beautiful, but with all the physics in BF3 along with the new techniques that directx 11 brings, I assume it takes a lot of the resources. My chip runs around 60% across all cores with vent and a browser open as well as the game. The ram usually goes from 1.5-2gigs normal use to 5.5-7 depending on what I have running in the background as well. I still can’t fraps at 60fps due to recording to the same disk. I have to save up money for a usb3 drive since I don’t have anymore sata connectors. I can however record at 30fps but with fraps, it actually drops your frame rate that you record at so when I do record, I hinder my game play.
This is all computer gaming nerd gibberish but if you happen to stumble across my page randomly, this is good information for the type of rig that you need to get the full beauty of this game. I haven’t had this much fun in a game since BF2 to be honest. COD on the consoles was fun with my friends but nothing will ever beat computers and gaming. You want the best, you pay for it, however if you work in the computer industry like I do, I’m sure you can justify your actions with buying a super computer to work and game on.
Open redgedit and go to:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\Misc
Double-click on the name
“Allow Uninstall”
and set the value to 1.

If you ever run into a problem with services getting stuck and you don’t have a choice about rebooting the server, try this. Go into task manager and view services running. Locate the one that’s stuck in a stopping state and take note of the PID. Then open command prompt and type this in (change the PID of course):
taskkill /PID 388 /F
The /F forces it to stop

Woot! A defcon of the east coast is finally here and it’s in Louisville KY! I can crash on my friends couch at least and party it up with the security freaks.

Seen them twice, shook their hands a few weeks ago for Record Store Day. I’ll see them at the Hangout Music Festival as well.
