  1. Who doesn't love Nate?! Happy birthday, dude!
  2. Dan the man! Alright! Happy b-day!
  3. Liquid Crystal Displays are so mainstream now anyway. I want something revolutionary!
  4. Hmm, I'll look into that! As for the lay-off risk, I don't distribute the software, I keep these things to myself most of the time.
  5. GOOGLE TRANSLATION: Good evening gentlemen. All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive. Make your time.
  6. Well, the title is a bit misleading, as what I'm actually aiming to do is to print a filled-out pdf file with data saved in an FDF file. Here's the thing: at work, there is a blank form in pdf format that has fillable textboxes. What's been done until now is that a group of people painstakingly copy-paste client info into each field. And I was asked to do that today.... ...blech! Always seeking to automate whenever possible, I found that the info is copied from an Excel file, so I started looking for a way to get that info from Excel unto the pdf form. (we all have Acrobat Reader, not the full version) I came across the FDF format, which is a file that stores the data that goes into each field, telling the pdf file what piece of data should go into a given field. Eureka! Familiar with the wonders of VBA, I managed to populate the form now on the fly. But here's the problem. I wrote code to fill the pdf form with the info from any given row clicked on in the spreadsheet, then you print from the print button on the Acrobat Reader program. I wanted to automate it to the point that the code goes row by row printing each new form for each client, but the VBA code goes too quick and it fills the form before it gets sent to the print queue, so some clients get skipped. BUMMER! I can't save individual pdf files as all we have is Acrobat Reader. I'm basically working with the same file (the form) that dynamically has its data changed by the info stored on an FDF file. I thought about using the Wait or Sleep command to stop the code and give Acrobat Reader enough time to send the info to the print queue before the next client is loaded up on the form, but this is inefficient as I'm adding extra unnecessary time. So, any thoughts on what I can do?
  7. And now added Dead Space 2 to the list for $5 as well. Steam sales rock! =)
  8. Oh man! Thanks! Always wanted to play "The Witcher". Cool!
  9. ATH-ESW9 I had bought a while back have become my new fave thing at work, especially now that I'm working crazy hours for a project (been doing 8:00am to 9pm for two weeks now). It's funny how people who see me with them say they are "huge" (if they only saw the rest of the audiophile lineup, heh). My biggest enjoyment though comes from when they take a quick listen through them (and I mean like 5-seconds quick) when they realize this is a whole new level of listening they did not know existed. It is at that point that they finally understand my hobby. HM-801 plus these portables make a very nice listening experience while on-the-go. I hadn't listened to them in a while, and now I remember why I decided to keep them. (not to mention their sound is very good for being closed cans at that price level). So yea, ATH-ESW9 for on the go win.
  10. hope you had a good one yesterday! (you may interpret that however you wish)
  11. A week late in showing my gratitude but thanks for the best wishes, everyone! Haven't been here much, working 8:00am to 9:00pm shifts now. At least I still have a job for now, heh. I had a good birthday with friends and family. Once again, thanks! And Happy Thanksgiving! note: no comments from me on the happy complying ass comments
  12. Happy b-day Dinny! How much is a monkey year in human years anyway?
  13. Takes some grinding to get it nice. Put it on your knee, bent it a little, and have a stripper give you a lap dance. =P NOTE: Don't do this.
  14. I'll join up to at least deal with you guys here, in any case (though I doubt I will be buying anything lately, maybe more like selling).
  15. Despite the current loss, happy birthday Chris.
  16. They can still use the term "Perfect" on their products. PerfectWave ... then PerfectTide ...followed by PerfectTsunami. Each one is perfect within its specification, see?
  17. Bringing back an old thread in case anyone is interested in a cheaper knock-off: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEAR-HEADPHONE-HEADSET-STAND-AKG-Sennheiser-Grado-AudioTechnica-SIEVEKING-SOUND-/200658108240?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb827bf50#ht_1272wt_1396 I personally like the acrylic look...
