Subject: hey

U know i cannot believe what a person u have become and all.I mean i can understand any hate u have against me.I have admitted to you i was a bad husband.But for u to say

"So you khno9w they meaning Jonathan and Natakie do not wish to speak to you. It is not me keeping you from them they made that choice on there own."

I cannot believe u would stoop to the point were u would use ur own kids against me,Just so u can try to get even with me.And if u honestly think i belive my OUR kids would choose not too talk me cause they choose too.Then u have serious fuck them up.Cause if the kids fear me then how come the they miss me and was said when they could not come up to see and all.And they did not want to come back to u when i had them,They would cry and say i wanna stay with daddy.

You know liz the one that i worry about the most out of our 2 kids.It is jonathan,He is going to grow up and have anger issue over this and there will be no one to blame but u and me.But telling u this will do no good.Cause like u said after u fuck up my life.

ALL U SEEM CARE IS ABOUT U.
I mean with me not being there u are suppose to be a prime role model for him.I mean he had trouble in both schools since i have left,He is still having anger issue.I mean from the video of him he is more concern with a pc and all,So it would be safe to assume that all u allow him is too play games.So that way u do not have to deal with it.

And then there is are daugther.She will look up too and wanna be like u.I mean do u honestly think our daugther will see a role model in her future.I mean u cannot find work at all.U expect me to take care of u from a child support check that u would be able to get if u would drop the damn charge so i can work.But u will never do that at all.So u will try to find a man to take care of u and she will grown up too see this as a commmon thing and she will be just like u

Plus i remember last time u let me speak to them,They was happy to speak to me.You stop letting me speak to them cause our son said UR EX SUGAR DADDY would not let him spend the night with me.And i question u on it and u had a fit cause i said to SO are son is lying and all,And u threating me that matt would beat my ass and then u hung up on me and then he call back and did the same.So it funny how u can say that did not wanna speak so shortly after i last talk to them

And ur quote about Kay

"Dont you have a GF to worry about better keep her happy or she may throw you out. "

She and i are doing great and all.She will not kick me out and all.She and i do not worried about u and u comments towards her kid.I mean i can say this she does put her kids first and she has ex that does not want 2 do anything for her kid and she still lets the man see his kid.When he decides to show up and all.So i cannot see were u have the idea to even cross that line.And for u a GROWN ASS Woman 2 bring up a 13 yr old kid in a message.Show 100% proof that u will use a child to gain whatever control u might want

And for u too quote this

"They call Matt daddy they love him and trust him.Matt has never given them a reason to doubt his love for them.Hes never hurt them in any way or given them a reason to fear him"

Then how come he kick u too the curb in alabama.I mean and said this too me when i text him asking if u and the kids was ok

here is the text

I got a girl now that works and ant got anykids
Tab. &.matt

Wow liz that sure does sound like such a great father fiqure for ours kids.I mean if that is what u call a person who cares about kids,Wow no wonder why u and i never work.

You know when u say shit like this

"We have a new family with Matt and im not going to let you ruin there lives for the greater good of youre own PRIDE becouse youre biological kids love another man as there dad more than you."
U are not hurting me.U are hurting them in the long road,Cause they will see what it like to know that I nver gave up on them and still fight to see them.I mean u could and i could be divorce and go on about are merry lifes and all,And be there for are kids.But no i was more then willing to comprise and even screw my self by letting u have sole custody of the kids and i would have been happy with them every weekend and one day a week.But no u did not want that.

I mean what is it going to take for u to GROW up and let me speak to OUR Kids.Because of ur recent choices i guess i have to fiqure out a way to come back to Ga,and deal with it and that way u can make it a draw out battle and the kids will suffer more and more and more.But since u care so much for them.Have u really even thought of that

My ex wife message is below.My reply to her is above in red

Im tired of youre excuses and delusions of you was this great Daddy for my kids. And i say my kids becouse you never wanted or took responbility for anything in their lives. You expected me to work, cook, clean , teach them things that you could also have donee but refused to becouse as you say its a woman's job and all along you sat and played video games. You wonder why thats all Jonathan is interested in its youre fault .Playing WOW all the time and Xbox.He got it from you . And as for the relationship between me and Matt that doesnt concearn you he still wants to be a part of their lives and im not going to stop him.He actually cares how there doin he calls to talk to him regualy.Theres no reason for you to bother him texting cause as you said he dont live here so leave him alone. So if you want to help them you need to give them some space they havent seen you in over two years what makes you think they want to .All jonathan wants from you in his playstation that you got them for christmas thats all he wants and Natalie which you have yet to spell her name right doesnt want to talk to you at alll how sad is that and its all youre fault.They want to go see Matt if that makes you feel any better.They miss him and they went and visted him.They love him.It doesnt matter if me and matt dont work out he will still be a part of their lives.So just leave us alone we dont want you.

Xbox 360 Prices Was Release

2005-08-19T11:21:00.000-05:00

Let the games ~~begin~~ continue!

It’s been quite a busy week for both Microsoft and Sony. Earlier this week Microsoft released final pricing for its Xbox 360 system. Sony “responded”, in kind, by slapping a big helping of FUD on the table (via an Amazon pre-order page). It’s, of course, possible that Sony had nothing to do with the very-well-timed pre-order page. However, the battlefields of these wars are riddled with this type of chicanery.

New iBook, Mac mini part numbers appear (updated)

2005-07-24T15:59:00.000-05:00

July 21, 2005 - Apple's forthcoming iBook update will also usher in revised Mac mini models, according to new part numbers that are showing up in Apple databases.

Three new Mac mini configurations will be available in the near future, priced at $499, $599, and $699, sources say. Apple currently does not offer a $699 Mac mini configuration.

New iBook part numbers are meanwhile showing up at $999 and $1,299 price points, with the $1,499 model seemingly dropped from the line-up. Think Secret first brought word of the pending iBook earlier this week.

Firefox for Intel Macs ready to roll

2005-07-04T10:07:00.000-05:00

Firefox has been ported to work on Apple's new Intel Macs.

Josh Aas, a Firefox developer and employee of the Mozilla Foundation, confirmed the port on his blog, as noted by ZDNet.

Aas reveals that: "Apple employees got Firefox running on an Intel Mac for the sake of using it as a demonstration of what it takes to port a complex application."

Apple then sent the patches to the developer, but he didn't use these except as reference guides. Aas explains that a number of developers worked together as a "great team".

"I think for the first time in the history of Mac Mozilla products, we're actually ahead of the game in a way," he added.

The PS3 might be expensive for SONY: "

Source : http://www.gamekult.com

According to a Japanese newspaper, the PS3 might cost quite some money to SONY, especially for its official launch. Indeed, the original target price was 337Euros in Japan, but the real cost could be 70Euro higher. The reason is linked to the price of high-tech or high-end components such the Cell processor and the Blu-Ray drive.

A projection is evaluating the deficit for the first year to almost 1 billion Euros.

Game console are systematically sold to their production price or even lower (so no profit), manufacturers earn money thanks to game licenses, then later on to the decrease of components price due to large volume productions and availability. For example, the PIII in the current Xbox3 is not costing more than its current production cost.

However, the competition with the Xbox360 could challenge the financial plan built by Sony for its PS3 launch.

For sure, end-users, the customers, will profit from this already announced price fight between the future next generation game consoles. Evaluating the price of the game for each console will also later on give information regarding the price that game developers will have to pay to get a license.

And so it goes, on and on. Feature after feature is cut, promise after promise is broken, and what do we have at the end of the day? XP SP3. If Microsoft fails to deliver something approaching decent with Longhorn then they will be in trouble. Big trouble. And most people haven’t even realized this yet. But they will soon enough.

As a Mac user, my heart sank a little when I first saw the post about the Google Video Upload Program. Clearly, the concept is cool. It was just that all-too-ubiquitous .exe file you must run to upload your videos. Of course I know that something like 90% of the desktop/notebook computers sold today run Windows. But in my circle of friends (admittedly a small one -- I blame the caffeine), almost everyone uses a Mac, and the rest use Linux or some other UNIX-like substance. Anyhow, this Video announcement inevitably led to a lot of flak (again) from my friends about how Google was shipping yet another Windows-only application. "I thought Google has lots of smart developers." "Doesn't Google know how to write platform independent software?" Blah, blah, blah.

But this time, I took it as a personal challenge. I shoot a lot of video, and I edit it on my Mac. How hard could it be to write a compatible video uploader that would run everywhere? As I soon discovered, not very hard at all. After all, I have access to the C++ source code for the existing Windows-specific uploader, and I can spend my 20% time working on whatever I want. And I have plenty of experience writing portable code, given that I program in Java.

Java comes pre-installed on the vast majority of operating systems in use today, or it's available as a free download from Sun. And software written in Java really, really does work across all those platforms, as a decade of work by software developers can attest. The Java mantra "Write once, run anywhere" is a reality -- it just works. Java programs also tend to be less buggy than their C/C++ counterparts, and programmers working in Java are a lot more productive - but these are topics for another post.

Anyway, now you can sign up for the Google Video Uploader for Macintosh, and ditto for Linux (and UNIX and Solaris and HP-UX and AIX and lots of other platforms). The same sign-up page goes to to the Windows version too. So now I can ponder a different problem - namely, which of my videos I want to share with the world.

Safari Icon Manager 1.0.2

Safari Icon Manager lets you browse Safari's icon cache. The icons stored in this cache are the the little icons you see in the History and Bookmarks menus, and also next to the address bar. It also lets you empty it, so new icons will be downloaded on the next visit to the site.

Synchronize! Pro X by Qdea: "Synchronize! Pro X is a professional-strength backup and file synchronization utility. It makes bootable backups of your Mac OS X or OS X Server system disk and synchronizes files between any two folders. If your computer or your main hard disk fails, you can be up and running again by starting up any Macintosh from the backup. Files that are replaced or deleted can be archived, so that old files can be accessed later. Archived files can be grouped into convenient sizes for writing to CD-R or DVD."

Warning: In Five Seconds, This PC Will Self-Destruct: "

Companies looking to protect sensitive data on stolen gadgets are taking a page from Hollywood, with hard drives that destroy themselves when picked up by a thief, software that remotely zaps documents from a desktop computer and technology that scrubs clean handheld devices when the wrong password is entered too many times.
