  1. Friday I found out that 2 of my entries won Silver Awards!!!!!! I am so happy:) Here are my 2 pieces. Funny part is my teacher said to my friend. "I don't know why Grady is bothering putting the fight for your rights one. Its his money. If it does win, we obivously don't know how to judge these things." So when I see him Tuesday I am sure going to live it up He even didn't show up to the show! Oh well, the other teacher did show though! Yay Susan! So it worked out
  2. I love tornadoes. I love reading about them, studying them. I've probably been studying them since ooo since I was 11. And I am 21 now. They have always fascniated me and I really want to see one up close. I hope one day to put use this storm chasing to good use. While I'll have a 2meter radio in the car, I hope I can do more then just sit and watch the twister do its thing. I am going to look into responder teams, to search survivors. I want to help with cleanup and helping people get back on their feet if they're hit by the storm. I remeber a lot I'd call my friends up telling them to g
  3. I decided to take on a new project before spring arrives. Project: Razors Edge (after Saliva's song) into a storm chasing vehicle. I couldn't find the right place to talk about this so I stuck it in open chat. What I have planned so far is to redo the roof lining (its falling down) in my car, and after that, add a 2 meter radio (I'm KB9WEC). A IBM thinkpad t21 notebook (for tracking weather on radar and programming the 2m radio). I also was thinking about adding a few cameras (this may be after this year). But I am also upgrading my 35mm camera equipment. Hopefully I'll have pictures as

    About U?

    I guess its my turn. I'm 21. I go to Ivy Tech State college, learning Computer networking. Also a displaced techtv member/chat host/board host. Don't worry, I am no longer a host, so I no longer enforce rules . I am also in midst of becoming a storm chaser. I will begin a project to outfit my car with chasing gear:) I am looking forward to chase season. In mean time I hang out on the computer, learning as much as I can about both pc and mac platforms. I have 2 cats. Little Pretty and Fred. 1 bird name Louie, hes a Normal American Gray Cockiteal. I am also into graphic designing and photogra
  5. Mine came from a friend who is from Austria. She always would refer to me as her familiar. "one who watches over someone". And it stuck to me, so I took the German version of it and walle came up with DasFamiliar - G P.S. you may not see it here, but on other boards you'll defintly see it
  6. Hello gang, Say, I have my friends Inspirion for a while, and he wanted me to get his hardrive out so he can get his data off of it. It died, wont' even power on. And I got the hardrive out, but it has been sitting here for a while (I keep forgetting to take it back to him). But I got to playing with it, and I used my dad's multimeter on the powersupply. I tested it and I got no completed ground on it. I think this is cause of the problem of his dead laptop. I just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem? Model: inspirion 4150. not sure of the specs. But , I try fiddling with the powe
  7. I defintly love going after storms:) As next year approaches, I am going to be searching more into first responds programs. I mainly want to get into weather related ones. Maybe storm spotting? I'll find them out I'm even going to take more pics this time around! We'll see what happens! - Grady
  8. But I was wondering how many watches storms? I do, I am ready for Storm Season 2005 to be honest hehe. I need to get my internal clock readjusted. I guess it has to do a lot with this year. In late may, twice I came close to seeing a tornado. Even though on the first one, I didn't get to see the actual funnel, I saw the actual storm cell and it was massive. I came over a hill in Jeffersonville, Indiana where you could over look a rock quary. What I saw was amazing, it was like a black wall was put behind the quary. I never seen anything like it, and at the same time lightning was stri
  9. Ty hitest! I wonder what happened to you all I decided to go back to Leoville and I talked to thesidekickcat, and she told me about here. So I came! Btw, since after my mia. I've been into graphic design more and computers. I am hoping to have a gallery of my work soon! I just need to get some time to work on it . But I'll get there! Ooo I love coffehouses! - G
  10. Only thing I can say, that the song "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin kind of explains how I feel. After all I've seen on both sides of G4, I don't expect to see ttv elements around anymore. Btw, anyone heard from Casey Quinn? I've been trying to get a hold of him but haven't seen him since the switch I'll see everyone around, take care. - G P.S. I am no longer a moderator in any shape or form for G4Techtv anymore. I am just your average computer geek joe. Only current projects I am helping out with now: My own site : http://www.gradyjoslin.com Star Trek: Hidden Frontier : http://www.hiddenfron
  11. Hey everyone! LTNS. Glad to see some familiar faces - Grady
  12. My response "JUST GIVE ME THE FILE! And it'll be all okay techies! Just hand over the file" ::gives them the stern look::
  13. If you can, you may try to see if they can copy that file to a disk for you, and try opening it from the disk off the network. It could be something on their network that is causing the problem that is keeping the file from opening.
