I've got a tank and had a few others before I moved as well.

Kuhli Loaches are pretty cool, but you won't see them most of the time. Mine tended to burrow in the substrate and stay there unless they needed food. They're fast as hell, too.

If you're going the fresh water route (which it sounds like you are by your fish choices) I'd recommend making a Cichlid tank. They're more colourful and active than most other freshwater fish, but they are very aggressive so they can't be put with many other kinds of fish; Only loaches and Plecos and Catfish species are safe with them IIRC. Some Cichlid species are very cool looking.

If you do things right, there are a couple cichlid species that can co-exist with other kinds of fish, too, like Kribensis. They are territorial, though, and will defend their 'home,' especially if they spawn. Also, don't have any more than one pair of them in the tank or they will kill each other.

I have a few shrimp in my tank... not sure how many anymore because I almost never see them; they spend 100% of the time in the tank in hiding. I think they know they're food. LOL

By far my favorite fish in our tank is Gumpert. He's either a Pleco or a small Catfish species, I'm not sure which because I can't find any other examples like him. He's fast as hell, too, and pretty ugly. Thus the name.

Only other thing I can think of is that Photoshop has the nasty habit of making images look like crap when not at round zoom numbers (12.5,25,50,75,100, for example all look fine. Anything in between looks like hell). Are you viewing the image at 100%?

Short of that I have no idea what else might be the issue, as you say it was a circle to begin with.

Finished my thesis on time (just!), finished my Bachelor's Degree, got a sweet brand new condo in an awesome area of the city, moved in with my girlfriend, got a sweet job designing snow board equipment (among other things), and I still haven't managed to hurt myself TOO badly.

Cons? I still do injure myself. Fractured both collar bones again, broke my knuckle and I have to go back into physiotherapy for my knees and (now) collar bones. I need to start taking better care of myself.

It's December 14th and it was 9 degrees celcius today, and raining. Still no snow. In Toronto. Canada. In December... What an odd year.

Private Christmas for my girlfriend and I at our place on the 23rd, I'm cooking up a roast chicken and a bunch of tasty stuff for a full-on Christmas meal for the two of us. 24th is Christmas at my folks' place like every year (difference is they moved in the summer and so it's just in a new location...) and then spending the day with my girlfriend's family on the 25th and off to her big family party that night at her Aunt's house.

Will be busy.

[EDIT] Still no snow in Toronto.

December 9th, still no snow in Toronto. I was told it snowed the other night, but I never saw it happen and there was absolutely no evidence in the morning.

[EDIT] Holy crap, it's snowing.

Despite my comments, though, I'm happy with no snow (as long as I have some on Christmas Eve and Day I'm good) because this stupid city grinds to a complete halt once the first flake touches someone's windshield, and everyone goes insane and crashes into the first solid object they can find.

I wish I was fast enough to win the competition... Then I could have someone else do all the boring stuff for the track that's in my head.

It snowed briefly in Toronto a few days ago, but most of it didn't stay.

... It's December 6 and there's no snow, at all. The hell is wrong with this city? This is supposed to be Canada!

I really hope I get some time this weekend to give it a go, haven't played it in at least a month and a half now I think. I wanna see how far it's come since!

...and the Atom, Kart, Apollo, Caterham...

Quote from AndroidXP :No, and it unfortunately never will. The G25 is missing a piece of hardware that is required for XBox controller authentication.


Also, don't be too disappointed. Steering is incredibly twitchy now and I don't like it tbh. Turn10 doesn't understand the word "linear" apparently:

Damn I really want to give FM4 a go but without a wheel there's just no point.

Quote from JJ72 :a patch has just come out that fixed the 900 sterring aid issue, it feels entirely different while oversteering !

Has a patch for the Xbox come out allowing use of a G25?

I used to love that old 'Vette GTP. Especially the pontoon rear fenders, like the old Matra (the model name eludes my memory at the moment )

I've heard a lot of bad things for DHL in North America, too. UPS seems to do pretty well here, though. I usually opt for Canada Post; for the consumer, it's fine.

Quote from PMD9409 :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... p;feature=player_embedded

Honestly the only slightly interesting thing I've seen for rF2 yet.

Quote from Crashgate3 :Looks fun to drive, but I find the lack of advanced shaders still makes it look like a 5 year old game where everything is made out of the same material just painted different colours, and it just kills the immersion for me. I'm not in any way a fan of the overdone brown palette/blinding bloom that you get on a lot of modern games, but something to make it look more realistic would be nice. it just looks like a well-made rFactor 1 mod.

Comparing it to the C.A.R.S. videos this doesn't even come close.

How it drives will be the killer and I have a feeling it isn't going to measure up.

I doubt the physics will be amazing, and I doubt the FFB will be all that great, but I am a sucker for 60s formulae and this video alone may have sold me. Maybe.

The last video looked like crap but this one is much better. There is hope. (But only a little)

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :It's really fun, most of the missions are epic and the characters are really funny. My favourite side mission so far was having to drive with a live Tiger in my passenger seat, you have to drive fast to keep it calm and avoid crashing, but on occasion it mauls you forcing you to swerve.

I smell The Hangover inspiration

First off, Apple products are garbage in all of my experience (only a few months now with the iPhone and it's already wanked up more than any other device I've ever had in my life, even the crappy iPod Nano I had years ago which was crap, too). Also, iTunes is a load of garbage as well.

Unfortunately I can't give you much in the way of advice in this matter; I don't use iTunes on my own rig, I use CopyTransManager instead. I refuse to install iTunes on my computer.

Hopefully someone more useful will come 'round soon and help you out.

I forgot this was releasing this month. I loved the second one but I think they may have gone a little too over the top with this one. I'll probably still enjoy it, though; just don't have the time to play anything much right now. Maybe in a few months it'll come down in price and then I'll pick it up.

Quote from Kid222 :Children of men ... hell, i see us heading there, very good movie to spend time with.

One of my favorite movies. Along with V for Vendetta and Shoot 'Em Up. And Grand Prix.

Indianapolis 500 got me into racing games

On the computer, anyways... pretty sure I played a couple on the Intellivision that my dad had stored in the basement. I bet that makes me look older than I actually am...

I think this is just going to be the release of the Ferrari game they announced a few years ago. Looks like they found someone to publish it and fund the finishing polishing of the title.

On the C.A.R.S. forums there's people who think this is going to be TestDrive Unlimited 3; which it definitely will not be.
