Canada eh

The true north, not strong and for sure not free. Or so the rest of the world thinks.

We pay taxes on EVERYTHING! Well almost everything, only afew items are not taxed. Not sure about other provinces but here in Ontario our tax rate is 14% HST. Not GST or PST but HST. Which is both PST and GST in 1.
PST = Provincial Sales Tax
GST = Government Sales Tax (Federal)
HST = Harmonized Sales Tax (PST and GST in one tax)
And what do they do for it? NOTHING! Our healthcare is still shit, our roads are still shit, our crime rate is still high and unemployment is still high.

Healthcare
Our premier says that wait times in ER's are at a all time low, people are waiting less to see a doctor.
That is a bullshit lie. I wait an hour to see my family doctor and just recently i had to go to the hospital's ER because i couldn't stop twitching. I waited 2 hours just for a doctor to see me and say i have psychogenic tremors. Then waited another 30 minutes just for 1 pill to take to help calm down the twitches until i could talk to my family doctor who at the time was on holiday's so i had to wait 2 weeks to see her. That is just a example of our healthcare wait time. Other parts of it i will say is great. Got afew doctors out of McMaster that seem to not know what they are doing and others wont prescript helpful medication. For example, i use to get amoxicillin for my ears since i was 3 when the tubes in my ears collapsed and had fake ones put in to reopen my own tubes. But since then i keep getting infections. Amoxicillin helped alot with that. Now my new family doctor wont give it to me so now i have to suffer.

But enough of that. Now for roads.
All they do to fix the roads is either patch them or replace them with fresh ash vault. Like seriously? Heavy transport trucks ruins those almost instantly. All we need is a good heat wave and bam, freshly paved road ruined again. The only road here in Hamilton that hasn't need repairs is Parkdale Ave. since that is all cement which i think is a great idea and all roads should be cemented.

Our crime rate here needs help too. In just 1 week this year this city has had 2 murders. Thats pretty sad since today is only Jan 07 2014. And all last year there was lots of murders, robberies, drunk drivers, people not wearing seat belts, morons using their cellphone while driving and people dealing drugs. Police i think are doing a great job doing their best to fight crime but i think their should be more officers on the streets.
Also another improvement is we need tougher penalties and possibly bring back the death sentence. Maybe then these criminals will think twice before doing a crime.

Unemployment is still high with more and more companies closing because taxes and cost of operations are higher here then China. Those who are here have right high rates. Take cell phone providers for example. We Canadians pay through the noise for service. Even though im very happy with service and price with Fido, other Canadians are not with their provider. Cable and Fiber optics internet and TV service is the same way. High prices for shit service. Hell i think that goes for everything here.

Our government needs a good stiff kick in the common sense head. They lie to win a election then they lie to us after. The healthcare thing is a great example of that. Some of us Canadians like myself feel that we just vote in a mascot and the country is actually controlled by the banks. The saying "Voted by the people for the people" for the past few decades has been a load of bullshit.

So theres today's Canada in a nutshell. If anyone got any more questions about Canada please feel free to ask me on g+ or on the Great Canadian Grid, avatar name is Christina Vortex or watch the Rick Mercer Report on YouTube and on CBC. He tells all about today's Canada in the most funniest way possible :)

My observations of Walter

And i dont give a shit if the majority of Littlefield grid hates me for this but it needs to be said NOW.
What is said here is true. I don't find the point in lying at all.
For almost a year i have raised my eyebrow in real life alot over how this fool reacts to everything.
First thing is how he responds to anything related to children. He reacts to these situations very unprofessional. For example afew of us were chatting with him one night and he said that a gay couple wanted to have a baby. First off what is the problem with that other then the fact that no child avatars allowed. He went on in a anger voice saying "just don't let me see it" like wtf. So if i got with someone on lfg and we wanted to play family, we can't even have a prim baby or he will have a rage fit?
Another situation that he stupidly blabbed about is that he recently banned a pedophile. First off how would he have know that the newly joined person was a pedophile and why ban that person since, and here is where i started to question about him. There is no one under 18 allowed on the grid and no child avatars so there be no way for that pedophile to have "his fun". Maybe he just wanted to build, script and have adult only fun. After all the grid is adult only fun, great grid for registered sex offenders to go have fun without violating their parole.

Now onto his anger. Heads up, its way worst than mine surprisingly.
Starting with the recent bs.
I recently said on a hypergrid business post "finally a place i can call home" in response to the great canadian grid. I was referring to the fact that im Canadian and the grid is Canadian. I was planning to have LFG as my work place since Omen and I have tons of work to do that needed to be done by Jan 16, my 30th bday. Walter saw it last night and gave me one huge bitchfest rage fit and deleted my sim that I had paid for. I paid $80 for 4 sims in November that were taken down shortly after because i cant afford them, never got a refund, i had just 1 sim up and was moved, i figure that $80 went to pay off this 1 sim, guess his anger is affecting his judgement because he deleted it without issueing me a refund. Any mature person would of calmly ask me what i ment by that and ask what i plan on leaving LFG. I would of been more then happy to explain my plans to still stay on LFG as a job grid since thats where little tech first started. But after him going off on me last night, hell no.
Another rage fit from walter was Dec 26 when my friend Omen didnt do his dj show. First off, Omen is a nice guy and is has some rl issues to deal with, also its the day after christmas and the grid was dead when we were on so Omen didnt do his show. You think no biggy since its was the holiday's. Walter raged on him for a no show. Like fucking seriously? It was the fucking holiday's. Give the guy a break.
Theres been more times of walter not handling situations as a mature professional adult but i forgot them sorry.

So theres my view of Walter Balazic from my own eyes without influance from anyone else.
Everyone else on LFG i dont got a problem with, well except for Bubbles Journey only because i find her to be very bossy and more dummer then my ex stacy. In fact Bubbles makes my ex look smart. But thats the only problem i have with bubbles. Everyone else on LFG i love and will miss dearly. I really hope to see them soon on the Great Canadian Grid.
Sincerely Christina Vortex aka Chrisx84

P.S. Just been thinking about this more and like to add something about couples having a virtual family. I personally don't really like to be around kids ONLY because of past history when i was a kid and so i dont really know how to act or say around them but i am learning. But i would never EVER make others suffer in a virtual world because of my own past.

its been so long

Wow almost dec and i haven't done a blog yet. Well heres one, probably the last for 2013 so shall we begin. (yea i quoted the new khan)

This past wednesday i got myself a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini and been madly in love with it. The Android Operating System really kicks ass and i really hope it becomes a OS for ALL computing devices including laptops and desktop computers. Because of my new droid i been mad busy with in world scripting and making my Little Tech website droid friendly.
However my phone bill for this month is insanely high but gotta call Fido anyways about it. (here comes the rage) I noticed that there is a charge of $5 that i did NOT authorize on my bill from Gameloft. WELL FUCK ME SIDE WAYS! I know damn well i didnt allow that because i never heard of these assholes till tonight so im now sitting at my desk and parked my avi on the phoenix rising sim on the littlefield grid to calm the fuck down, tis helping but im still fucking pissed off that these fucking assholes can do this bullshit and think they can get away with it. GUESS WHAT JERK FACES! You just fucked with the wrong asshole. I will do what i can to have your company thrown in jail! And let that be a warning for anyone else who are planning to screw me over.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF PEOPLE TREATING ME LIKE IM A FUCKING RETARD AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME!
(alot of other people have used me in the past so now im snapping)
Another rage is that the Hamilton Ti Cats (Canadian Football team) really needs to fire their Quarterback and get a new one because Burris sucks balls as a QB. He either over throws the ball or under throws it. I can be a better QB then this moron and last time i played football was in high school.
Anyways even though the cats lost this years Grey Cup (Canadian version of the Super Bowl) im very glad that the cats finally got to the final game after 14 seasons of failures. Last time we won the cup was 1999.

Now for some good stuff.

I LOVE LITTLEFIELD GRID!
Ok enough sucking up to the admins. Got my vending system out for all to use. It does hook up to my server but only stores prim key and the prim's owner name as well as names of buyers and am now working on a market place website for the system, wont be like SL's market place because of the llGiveInventory not giving to avatars on other sims and the fact that i cant send data into the grid because the email() event and functions are turned off in LFG (which is perfectly fine and understandable by me so not complaining) so the market place would just be kinda like window shopping and since its phone browser friendly thnx to bootstrap V3 you can shop while shopping in RL, just please try not to walk into any walls, shelves, poles or other shoppers.
To sweeten off this service, i will soon be working on other great services like kick ass teleport pads, thinking of a advertising system, tv, radio and more all only for the Littlefield grid.

Anyways enough typing for now. Hopefully this wont be the last blog for 2013 but if it is Merry Christmas and a happy new year. And for my fellow atheists, merry meh!

Nerd update

Well this is lovely. Not only did i forget to do this today but its been 2 weeks since i did a blog and alot has happened. Even today alot of shit went down so here it all is.

Today I lost a friend but good riddance :D that idiot was nothing but a major pain in my ass and he lives in Denmark. For the past week I been helping him with his own php based cms but during the weekend not only did he make 2 different repo's that i didnt have access to with my code but he also deleted afew lines and modifed other lines to the point that what i did either didnt exist or didnt work the way i ment for them to. So that was the start of me getting pissed with him. MONDAY was my day off cuz it was canadian thanks giving. Did i get any kind of nerd break? NOOOOOOO! He wanted to install this facebook like chat but was having a hard time integrating it even though it says how to on its website. So i told him to put the code up and ill do it the next day. Well fuck me side ways afew hours later he said he was going to pay someone to do it for him. WELL FUCK ME UP THE MOTHER FUCKING ASS! So today i was still trying to not rage on him and he starts on me again today saying that i treat him like a pet and he was sick of it. Could the bullshit get any worst? Probably if i didnt block him after telling him a piece of my rage. For years this fucking idiot has treated me like a fucking pet and always undid all my work all because i did it better then him. I had afew people tell me that this danish guy is a idiot and now i fully agree with them. One person that said he is a idiot is my mother. She said that after i told her all what has happened. Gray, you are 100% right and im 1 million percent sorry.

So theres that!
Now for my past idea. Well that went to shit just like all my other ideas. Unix C Hosting fucked me for a dedicated server and now wont return my $100 CAD and theres no way for me to get it back or alert Paypal. So im pretty well fucked for that money till my next pay at the end of this month. But Unix C aint the first to fuck me over but i hope they are the last cuz im tired of dishin out money and not get the proper service with no refund.
As for Vampire City the game. I still really much want to do it and been meshing and texturing like crazy using Littlefield Grid as my test engine to go over each mesh. The only problem im having right now is settling on a game engine / editor to use. I got unity installed but its so very limited and really shitty. Also its from Denmark and well, thanks to the idiot that i raged about above, i kinda dont want to deal with anything denmark related right now. Cry Engine is awesome but again limited with the free version in the way that all test players need to be registered on the crydev.net website. UDK keeps crashing for me whenever i work with the assets so ill wait till UDK 4 is out before i try that again.

As for OpenSim related work. Met a really nice and awesome person named Artemis Tesla on the Littlefield grid that has been helping me alot with scripts and got a cool telepad working with more on the way, radio is actually done to so that also will be released once i get a store.
As for my sims. 5 sims in total are planned. Dev Island and Vampire City are already up, im just redoing VC as a shopping sim. Other 3 will hopefully be a race track, friendly pvp, probably just lazer tag. and still thinking of the third one.

So if you all want to come see what i been doing stop by the Littlefield grid, Vampire City sim.
lfgrid.com:8002:Vampire City
My name on that grid is Christina Vortex.

Thanks for reading this and hope to see you in world soon.

P.S. At the end of this month i will hand over all my L$ to one of the LFG admins that is still some what active in SL then going to clean out my inv, and do something funny right before i delete my SL account so stay tuned for pics for that :D

Later!

Game Conventions for November 2013

(two blogs in one hour :D)

Starting November 2 2013 to November 10 2013 (not including the weekdays) 2 big time gaming conventions will begin both in the United States of America.

First up... Nov 2nd and 3rd.
MINECON!
Held at the Orlando Convention Center in Orlando Florida. I just looked on google maps of the place and its HUGE!!!!!! Go to maps.google.com zoom into Orlando Florida and then search for International Drive. If his holiness Notch reserve the whole place then it for sure will fix triple the amount of people that showed up for the last minecon. I just hope they did what they did the last time and broadcast the whole event for free over a live stream for those who couldn't go. If they do i for sure will be watching while mining for diamonds like i did last year.

Second up and last convention.... Nov 9 and 10.
BLIZZCON!!!!!!
Held at the usual Anaheim California convention center. As usual Blizz will spill the beans on the next expansion. This time in hopes of getting back all the subscribers that have been leaving since Cataclysm. The convention was skipped last year so they can focus on finishing Mist of Pandaria so it wouldn't be such a shitty release. NEWS FLASH! You can't undo your fuck up by releasing another XPack. Only way to undo Cataclysm is by deleting that shit as a expansion. Anyways unlike Minecon, the live stream will not be free so I wont be able to watch it. So F U Blizzard and F WoW. Ok this was more of a rant of how shitty WoW has become.

Well regardless of how much i now hate WoW I am actually looking forward to Minecon live and Blizzcon to pop up on YouTube days later and will do a blog after about both conventions of what i thought about them.

Now if you could excuse me, i really must find some diamonds for a crafting table.

RIP SL

As most users know, Linden Labs "revised" their Terms of Service again. No surprise there. Also no surprise again they fuck up and pissed off their residence AGAIN!
However this time i think they went way to far. Not sure exactly what the TOS says this time but from what i read on Hypergrid Business website they made it so Linden Labs can do whatever they want with the content uploaded to Second Life without prior permission by the owner of that content. Now some people in SL may find this alright but others like me think that LL has gone way to far now.
We content creators like to create stuff for people to enjoy and possibly make money off of it. For LL to just come in and take whatever they want to do with whatever they want is totally wrong and i'm pretty sure violates afew IP rights. They say they will still respect IP rights so if they do respect and honor that then why the F for the change? Could of left the ToS the way it was. This change from my understanding not only violates IP rights but makes me personally feel like im creating stuff for LL for free and thats not right. Yea i create stuff for free on LFGrid for others to use and enjoy but LL has become a big name company with loads of money to give to creators so why this change and why am i pissed (dear ADHD, piss off)? its because with this change gives LL the right to basicly steal anything they want to use in advertisements and other ways without asking for permission by the creator or give the creator any money for it. Before the change LL could of still used other peoples works for advertisement but would have to either ask for permission or buy the item(s) from the creator.
But chris why would you give a shit about SL, your hiding on the Littlefield Grid again.
I give a shit for those who are about to be screwed over again by Linden Labs and therefore am still boycotting SL and encourage others to join with me.
If anyone of you are thinking of leaving SL and wondering about OpenSim. Its a great, better, cheaper life. And bigger. Their are way more opensim grids with lots more sims with cheap sim rental compared to SL. The total amount of sims and people throughout the opensim community is way bigger now then SL. Why? Because people like me have had enough of SL and are leaving for a better virtual life.
So join me in boycotting Second Life and Linden Labs. If you care to actually join me on a OS grid, join or hyper jump over to lfgrid.com:8002 and ask or look for Christina Vortex.
Please let me know you like to also boycott SL, if there are enough people i may make a group on LFG and OSG called "Boycotting SL"

So Rest In Peace Second Life. You where great back 10 years ago BEFORE your owner(s) became obsessed with greed.

Nerd time again

Ok here is some ideas im throwing out there that i am planning on doing for the Littlefield grid and opensim.

First off for LFG exclusively.

1. Little Tech which will provide LFG residence with tv, radio, vendor, rental service. Of course all for free, no money transaction at all since LFG is 100% free commerce grid.
LT will also provide other script stuff. For example i just did a quick script box that when you say "this is madness" close to the box it will say in chat "THIS... IS... SPARTA!" and play the sound clip from the 300 movie. Also plan on doing a Evil Title script and the Fart-O-Matic.
LT will also be my new mesh and prim work store/company as well as any crappy textures i do.

2. a town with rentable shops called Vampire City. (yes im going somewhere with this so keep reading)
3. since im actually thinking of hosting my own sims, all my sims will use the bulletsim physics so another sim i like to do will be a first person shooter sim where residence can rp as a vampire and shoot mortals, zombies and werewolves.
4. Since Walter's Memory Alpha is going to be the tele hub to all sci-fi museums i like to do a star trek museum and probably call the sim Earth Space Dock.

Now before i get into hypergrid stuff let me explain some planned changes.

You can kiss V Life Online goodbye. I actually always hated that name from the start since my gf at the time help me decide on a name for a website. Now that she is out of my life for good i think its time to fully get rid of her by getting rid of that name. So goodbye V Life and say hello to Little Tech.

LT wont be just LFG exclusive "play" company but i hope a legit free company for all hypergrid enabled grids. With that said lets move on.

Remember my idea before for hypergrid? yea im still going to do it. If you dont know wtf im talking about, let me do a quick run down of what i was working on before.

1. Hypergrid wide advertising aka HyperAds. This will include multiple ad boards that will display ads from other grids. These ads will only be placed into the system by the company/parcel's owner, not by me.
2. HyperRings. Rez a hyperring to have others tp to your place and be able to hypergrid tp to other rings.
3. HyperVote. You know all those voting boxes? Same deal but hypergrid wide with anti-cheating.

So what will make my plans better then whats already out there? I really don't know and i really don't care if no one uses my products. Im doing it because i want to and not ask for money to use my stuff. I guess the 100% FREE is the only diff. I will however have a small paypal donate button on the site for those that do want to donate money but im not going to force people to pay or beg for donations.
Little Tech will always be 100% not-for-profit / free comapny for as long as i live.
Oh also some scripts that i do for LFG and HG will be open source and up on my github repo for others to use and mod and/or to use as a example for learning LSL/OSSL.

Stay tuned for more info and a progress update since this will take me some time to do and money i barely have.
