Wot I been up to:

Crafting the new VG Wiki using our database forms system, to allow any old joe with little to no editing experience to create or edit great looking Wiki pages in a very VG themed style.  All entries feature an automated Contents menu linking to any section with content, little 'edit' buttons next to any section that open the editor and jump to the part of the form containing that content, a Summary Box panel that sizes automatically with content (up to a certain min/max width), and up to 64 sections with optional inset image panel (with subtitle) which uses simple logic to stagger left/right on odd/even numbered sections.

Once the form/system is set, I'll be able to create additional categories, and even category-specific fields such as a standardized format for the Summary Box on a per subject/topic basis.  Permissions can be set separately for who can create new pages/entries, or who can edit, so we can create a roadmap of 'stub' entries that can be filled in by users of specific group(s) that we dictate (such as Jr. Officers and higher only, etc.).

This is also being used to learn about custom CSS and HTML, and IPS logic, as it pertains to in-page links that jump around the same page (such as the proposed 'Back to Top' button for this website, globally).  Like, I thought I knew a little about HTML and certain tags/properties like <a> and <div>, but this project has had me diving in much deeper requiring me to create my own custom <div> classes.  The little white square brackets around the in-page links like [edit] are custom CSS added before and after the parent class, and ended up looking a lot more concise than three <span>'s in a row all with their own style dictated any time they were used.

the difference being:
 

<div class="vg-wiki-edit-link"><a href="./?do=edit&#subsection-{$vg_wiki_section}"><span>edit</span></a></div>

instead of this ugly mess:

<a target="_self" href="./?do=edit&#subsection-{$vg_wiki_section}"><span style="color:#bababa;font-size:12px;">[</span> <span style="color:#dba901;margin:2px;font-size:10px;font-weight:bold;">edit</span> <span style="color:#bababa;font-size:12px;margin-right:15px;">]</span></a>

Got some pics - first is day 1 proof of concept, then day 2, then day 3... coming right along, a lot of the work now is in the system/editor as opposed to the front end "look" of the Wiki pages:

BF2 and FH2 

You guys wann hear a story? Yesterday suddenly my Heater/Gas went down and the whole House is cold. When i woke up in the morning the room was so cold that you can call me female now.  I went to the Bathroom to clean my face, DANG no Water, the waterpipes are frozen, we had some like minus 15° this night and without the warm of my heater all was to cold. The whole Day i tryied to fix the Problem but nothing worked so far. I am praying, crying, swearing, nothing helps. Now i set up a few Fan heater, this Winter is not over yet. Good Lord let t be Spring soon and please don't let my waterpipes burst. 

hey bro is BMS down?

Working on my keyfile profile for BMS 4.35, almost finished it but I still have a few slots on the shift layer I'm sure I could take advantage of. One thing that has been useful for adjusting my key file is the Falcon BMS Alternative Launcher. Be careful before you rush ahead and use this tool it has a nasty side effect of altering several files in your BMS setup so please read this page on the BMS site BEFORE you download and install it.

I almost thought I would need to do a complete re-install but I persevered with it and now find that this program could be very useful for new players who are having issues setting up their joysticks in BMS. Its very easy to use and set the different call backs to the various keys on your stick and throttle. I've even added a bit more functionality to my rig since using it so I am recommending this great program. Just be warned the program will alter your current setup so please back up any important files before going ahead.

Here is the page to get the installation files and instructions.

Also here is a copy of my current setup for the HOTAS Warthog Stick and Throttle.

where is that profile saved I cant find it

Hey bro 4.35 is out dunno if you knew yet

Hey bro 4.35 is out dunno if you knew yet 

Welcome back! Hope life is treating you a little better!  I know it's a shit time for everyone, but you know what I mean.  

Hey i just got my TIR about to install BMS you around if I need some help? 

 Tried every single resolution in the menu....

Been doing some extreme overclocking today with my new nVidia ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2070 Super - for the last 14 hours or so....  

I set a number of 1st place Overclocking records in 3DMark in my class:  i5-4690K / RTX 2070 Super -- including a 3rd place ranking in FireStrike against i5-4690K's OC's to the super extreme of 4.4-4.7GHZ!!  I can only get mine at 4.3GHz even without overclocking my RAM, so I run 4.3GHz on my CPU and OC RAM @ 2133MHz (4x4GB)

I was able to get stable at a GPU OC @ 2130MHz and VRAM OC @ 2000MHz (16GHz total across all 8x1GB GDDR6!)

It seems I won't hold all those first places for long, though, guys like Raymanauto77 could knock me out with CPU alone... lol. Cheers, Ray! Love your CPU!

I was super proud to place 43rd IN THE WORLD and 12th place in USA for Time Spy Extreme in the same class (i5-4690K) against ALL GRAPHICS CARDS and was also cool to place just inside the top 100 in the USA for a Port Royal and Time Spy (v1.1) each at 94th place.  Super fun to be able to swing around this card in it's extreme levels, took a ton of testing and work, will have to post up some pics in a blog post or something later.  The Turing GPU has some quirks and an overclocking guide with my experiences using this Super version card might be cool to have around.

For now, after a full day of this, it's time to call it a day.  Pics to come.  Fun fun!

Hello guys,

It's been awhile no seeing around, missed me already? (Lol, jk- )

Here i am back again lurking around forums, seems there's a lot things changed in PR, still had no clue though about what stuff happened here recently, not following that much the events lately...

Anyways.. 1-2 weeks ago, i finished my final exams around Wednesday, pretty much exhausting after so much of hardworking and study basically, after making some papers one by one for each studies/class..

So, where i am now? Currently i'm on a campus break for around 2-3 months and out from town for a vacation obviously- knowing that i need some refreshing after all that matter (there's a lot of places and destinations, one in the fam did planned for it). There's some sort of great feeling on travelling around like almost a half of an island, which takes almost half-day to reach to other town, never been bored on journey since the scenery are changing to a new one and always amazes me. The whole time, i'm always been on the driver seat and sometimes takes a turn on doing it, when tired ofc..

While being vacuuming on PR, i was playing some other games too, preferably mobile game, which is currently popular these days.. some Card-RPG genre is what i've been playing recently (others including WoT Blitz)

I'll be back on my town probably in next Wednesday, but honestly.. not really sure if i can come back to PR soon. I still had some headset issues, currently the speaker were broken on one side, but microphone still works though. I'm also will trying to join TS as well, just hanging out with you guys-

There's a lot of things been going on here, related to game and some unfinished project of what i'm doing last year (i'm probably going to look after it for some time)

Thanks for reading, i'll see you guys soon when the time comes!

Last fall, I bought a few more PC monitor arms to free up desk space...  I have a transforming setup now, lol.

Made this GIF to show the different ways I can set this thing up so I can, for example, play VR without punching a hole in my main monitor or knocking over my drink. 

The laptop is connected to the smallest monitor on the right, the other two are connected to my PC.  I have to hide a lot of spaghetti behind the desk, but  all the cables are well managed.
