Living in Rough Times

Hey dudes and dudettes,
Well I have been absent of my podcasting duties for the past month. Unfortunately, due to me being out of work I spend 90% of my day looking for work and taking care of my boys. Which has become a full time job for me. In all by the end of my day I'm tired and have been feeling completely unmotivated. I'm sorry everyone and I will do my best to get back on track. Thanks for putting up with my lack of being able to produce a show out one a regular schedual. I'll try and do better.

The words have lead me astray


Well dudes and dudettes I've once again seem to be slacking in my recording responsibilities. Well I have a good reason, well at least to me it's a good reason. I've been caught up reading an absolutely wonderful book called 'Jack Wakes Up' by one of the best new names to crime drama fiction novelists Seth Harwood. I'm telling you this boy can write. I'm caught up in page after page of this story that takes place in the mean streets of San Fransico. It's about a once Hollywood action hero actor, Jack, who after making his big movie 'Shack 'em Down' falls from glory with drugs and scandles Hollywood is famous for. After cleaning up getting ready to make a come back a favor for a friend drags him back into the world of drugs and the seedy underworld crime drug lords. I'm telling you this thing is ACTION packed.

Seth is one of the great audio authors out there on the net who originally gave his book away for free in audio format, which you can find at sethhardood.com. Yeah, I listened to it first but there is nothing that can be taken away from the actual written word. Where as you read the words from the page your mind wonders and the world with those words become real in the theater of your mind.

Seth is actually one of the people who inspired me to begin this podcast. Seth along with others like Scott Sigler and J.C. Hutchins have truly changed the way the book and audio book market is heading these days. These guys are truly the frontier men of the book industry today. Now Seth doesn't only put out his own stories but created a website and podcast for other authors of crime drama fiction nto have there stories read also. This is where the idea for this podcast came from. For me to read others stories for all to hear. So thanks Seth and for the inspiration and the great book.

So once I've finished the book .. give me two more days I'll record another episode and get it out to you guys. Till then...

Getting out of a Stinky situation

Ok dudes and dudettes, I know I've been about absent for about 2 weeks now. Sorry lots fo work and home life to deal with and the fact that it's so freakin hot that all the fans going off in my house makes it difficult to record. Well last night I tightened my belt and was about to record when a frantic nieghbor comes knocking at my door. Apperently a skunk had gotten into her house thru the kitty door and was there in her kitchen eating the cat food.
So I go over there to try and help some how get the skunk to vacat her home. Get over there and the skunk was nowhere in the kitchen. So a search of the house began. Found the little skunk under the living room couch. Wow, ok what to do now?
Tried to leave a trail of cat food leading to the door. Well it would come ut only far enough to get the food that was closest to the couch but then would quickly hide again under the couch. finally after about an hour of this took a chance and slowly lifted the couch leaving the skunk no where to hide. I totally expected to get sprayed. Luckly, I didn't and the skunk finally took his que and slow walked his way thru the house and out the back door.
So with this done I go home and honestly I just didn't have time to begin reading and recording a new episode. Sorry about that everyone but I know I'll be excused for this one due to the good deed nature of the situation. So hopefully tonight will be round two of trying to record a new episode. So till then...

Past weekend Events

Well this past weekend was fully a fun filled packed weekend.
First Saturday was another day of Airsoft Combat Tactical Training Simulations.



Did not get home till 5am Sunday morning. With all the talk and action with Zombies occurring in the audio drama Eyes of the Sparrow, I was happy that the last game was a zombie attack simulation. I'm telling you I held of a hoard of zombies with a pump action, tactical shotgun.

Then after 3 hours of sleep I was up and ready for a truly celebrated day. My youngest 5th birthday party. A day of pizza, ice cream, cake, video games, coaster rides and more. The day only ending with him needing to take a nap.

This was truly a fun weekend. Tho I was unable to record anything as by 8pm I was a walking zombie myself. Not to worry tho with enough sleep and extra caffeine I will be recording the 3rd installment of my story First Watch.
As a sneak preview the next story will be by none other than Arc.
alright dudes and dudettes I'm out of here for now.

Are you affraid of the DARK?

Well dudes and dudettes of Tech Support or just the casual reader of this blog and subscriber of this podcast.
When i'm not hacking computer systems, keeping up with technical needs of Tech Support or reading report logs I like to sit down with a good book.
Well I have to say I do love a good sci-fi, thriller or horror novel. But I've recently picked up a book written by none other than 7th Son writer J.C. Hutchens.
This book is called Personal Effects: Dark Art and this book is freaky. Not only does the read of the book cause the hair on the back of your neck to stand up but it's what comes with the book that makes you question the noises you hear at night and makes you want to turn on all the lights in the house.
Here's J.C. Hutchins to explain the book himself



Those buttons he talks about can be found at http://jchutchins.net/

I really suggest you go check it out as get in on the secrets this book holds before the men in white coats find you and forcefully commit you to The Brink.

Beating Mainframe To The Punch

Ok here's the deal. I spent the weekend doing Tactical Simulations. Basically, I'm when I'm all out of excuses to dodge Mainframe's training I want to have the edge. No I'm not always about playing fair. Heck, I'm a hacker!!! If I want to beat the game i hack it find all the cheat codes and then play away.

Well there's not always a cheat to Tactical training , so I'm busting my hump training with an incredible group of people out at the Desert Fox Airsoft Fields.

Here's a couple of videos of the field.








Well I came home from this weekend more tired and physically hurt than prior times. So I ended up sleeping away the time I usually record the podcast. So Once again this weeks is delayed. I will get one out there for everyone, so don't think I'm totally slacking.

On another note R.I.P. Audiophile. This past weekend TS members tried to deal with a nasty bit of a challenge by the demon possessed Defrag calling it's self Fragment. Fragment posed a challenge and this time folks we didn't meet up to the challenge. It's sad but due to our mistake Fragment took Audiophile away from us. Audiophile you will be missed.

In all serious note people thanks to Alee, Krystle and even Trevor for putting together this sweet story line. It was lots of fun trying to out figure things that were totally out of our control. Great job everyone who joined along with the story line and made it fun.

I'll post more when I post the newest podcast later this week.

New Email Address

Hey dudes and dudettes. Well I wanted to let those of you know who might want their story on the Tech Files podcast, read their own stories, or just be a guest voice for an opening or closing, i have a new email address for you.

ts_headquarters@yahoo.com

Yep that's right just email them over to Tech Support and I'll pick them up.... unless router is monitoring my email communications again. Dang that wire monkey!

Anyway i like totally digress. I have heard from some of you that you are showing interest in somehow being part of the podcast. I think that like totally awesome! Just know that the podcast is more done like and audio book and not like the Audio Dramas. I'm like not totally not set up for any of that. But I think that having this podcast is a great outlet for all those wonderful stories created by the Tech Support members to be heard.

On another note I've been also thinking of adding an additional part to the podcast. The week after each story the next podcast would be an interview with the author over Skype. Kind of like a Q&A with my question or question sent in by the listeners of the story. But I'll just put it out to you guys to think about if you would want that or just keep everything inside the Tech Support world and not break out of it into the real world. Up to you guys on that one.

Also do you guys have any requests of an author who's story you would like to have read? Yeah we're not all authors but maybe you've read one of our members great story and thought man other got to read/hear this one. Well send me the info and I'll start pestering the author to let me read it. :) I'm like totally good at that!

Anywho my peeps, I just wanted to check in with you all during this hump day with my random thoughts. Alrighty then!

Freakopedia Presents: The Beginning

Whooo, dudes and dudettes. I've created the blog that will soon house a new podcast for my fellow Tech Support members as well as anyone else wanting to hear just some awesome stories. Yeah, here's the format of how things will go down my peeps. Like, I'm always sitting behind a computer here at Tech Supports IT lab eating my pizza and drinking my Mt. Dew, hacking into every bit of the internet I find interesting. Oh wait, for those who may not know what Tech Support is let me give you a quick break down.

Fanverse:
Tech Support
is a team of specialized individuals who have come together to support the next great superhero Feedback. Feedback absorbs powers and abilities from video games that he plays and he generates a feedback field that disrupts electronics within 15 feet. We as members of Tech Support help find him the intel he needs for missions, supplies the proper video games he may need, patch him up if and when he gets hurt and all sort of other things to keep a superhero operation running smoothly.

The Real Deal:
Tech Support
is the official fan club of group members dedicated to the superhero Feedback/Matthew Atherton. Our group contains writers, artists, musicians, crafters, and generous people who donate parts of their lives to forming the Tech Support universe.

As for me I'm Freakopedia
'M a programmer. Y'know. Of stuff. actually, I'm the resident hacker and programmer of Tech Support. I'm really good at getting into other people's stuff. I can run circles around most other programmers. Their isn't a game, firewall, computer or server I can't hack into. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.


Anyway, i like totally digress. I sit here late at night and you know like I sometimes totally get bored. So, since I'm like not out there in the action of stuff I like to read about it. I mean like there's all this cool data files of backgrounds, adventures and stuff about Tech Support filed away in our database. So I'm like totally all about reading it man. So I'm at times going to sit back and share some of the bad ass stories I come across in our database of Tech Files. So keep a watch out for them when it happen dudes. It will be totally awesome!


Well like till then I'm totally about running these jar files, creating a couple of patch scripts and waiting for my pizza and Mt. Dew to arrive.
