Jitbit Macro Recorder 5.3.9.0

I'm a big fan of automating, and I have been looking for a good macro recorder for a while.  Funny that I didn't find what I was looking for, until about a week after I stopped looking.

The feature I've been looking for, and finally found in Jitbit's Macro Recorder, is the ability to detect a picture on-screen, as a condition for a macro.  This is the most complete macro program I've ever seen, and I'm glad it comes with a 39 day trial.  Maybe I'll run into a budget surplus in the near future and I can actually purchase it.  ;-)

PS3, it only does... or does it?

PS3's capabilities:
----------------------

Gaming offline and online,
Backward compatible *Not anymore*
Region Free games but not movies and music *Now there will be region restriction on newer games, yipee for no imports...*
DVD and Blu-Ray Movies,
Music and pictures
High compatibility with many USB devices *Now restricted to mostly Sony-only devices in newer firmware*

#1 Capability: makes me wary of ever buying a gimp-ass PS3.

"PS3, it only does lots of things, but that can change via future firmware updates. Please read the weekly updated EULA."

Job searching

So I gave up my Final Fantasy XI Online account once again.  This time it's because I should not be playing such an addictive game while I still am unemployed.  I will return to it after I get a solid job in line.
I was scheduled for an interview on the 27th but the interviewer became ill and had to re-schedule for today.... So I went in for my interview this morning and she is still sick!  I did not get a re-schedule yet so I have to wait for her to call me on Tuesday.

I went to a hiring seminar for Apple Store recently, and they said that we should hear by today if we get a job offer, but I don't expect anything.  I was very nervous and they seemed to be looking for the opposite of what I was displaying.  I would be very good at the job I was applying for, but first impressions mean a lot I guess.

In happier news, we are now expecting a new addition to our family!  :-D    (or new additionS, but that is yet to be seen)

Stuff that FFXI should have

Fields of Valor should have more field support options! It has so few, it's been a long time since they made these.  One I can think of, is a "double exp reward" option, that doubles the final exp reward you get from a hunt, if you finish the hunt while under the effect.  (lasts as long as refresh/regen FoV effects)
To make it fair, it could cost 500 tabs.


Red Mage should have the following spells in the next un-cap:  True-Sneak, True-Invisible, Reflect.
Possibly Reflect could just be a WHM spell instead though.

True-sneak and invisible would allow you to sneak past enemies that have true-sight or true-hearing, and Reflect would allow you to of course reflect one spell. Reflect should have an instant cast time, but have a five minute recast time, so it should only be used if you see an enemy charging up a really nasty spell.  The proposed level 99 merit system could possibly allow you to reduce the recast time of reflect.

 Ranger should have a move called curious noise, which causes an enemy to look or slowly walk in the opposite direction of the player that used the ability.  This could help you get back shots or help Thief get sneak attack in.  Or it could even just be used to sneak past enemies that would otherwise see you.  1 min recast time.

Beastmaster should have an ability called lure, which can, at a high rate of success, lure one enemy and not create aggro by the enemy or surrounding enemies.  Once the enemy gets close enough then you could use charm or attack it or whatever you intended to lure it for.  Could use the skill while under the effect of invisible and/or sneak.

PuppetMaster should get a set of "Reactive" frames. Stats and features could be similar to the ones out now, but the puppets would be geared more towards doing skillchains or magic bursts with you. Weapon skills and magic burst types could be chosen with the different element maneuvers.  Actually this could be done with frame attachments, but I would like to see some different looking frames finally.  :-P
Maybe they could make attachments that change actual appearance??

Besieged, it should happen more frequently. If those beastmen really want that Astral Candescence, then they would be all over Al Zahbi.  Maybe one set should start their training if there are over 1,000 people online at once, and limit the time in which no faction is training, to 2 hours.

Maybe another lil' one?

It is possible that there might be another one coming, and I'm just imagining what having two children would be like.  :-)

 I was browsing a Multimedia Fusion 2 resource site, and came across this awesome little game project:

My Grandpa Was a Firefighter guy

It is themed like a 30's silent film, and is very silly.

They posted it as .mfa format but not everyone has multimedia fusion, so here it is in .exe  <---

Making the impossible, possible?

Just had a thought.
There are some things people can do, that were never thought possible, yet they can do them with ease while others struggle to figure out how it's done. 

When I myself come across things like this, I'm not looking for them, but I notice I can do them, so I keep doing them and trying them different ways until they become second nature.

It's an odd way to look at the world, but what if trying to do something you know is impossible, and trying it often and thoroughly, makes the thing less impossible somehow?  That would be something.
