    Finally!

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Another update to that WIP I mentioned a while back.
     
    Well, Lego finally took the IR reciever off backorder, sot now it, and a remote are on the way, bringing me another step closer to finishing that tank. Since the last post, I've had to make a few modifications after adding the battery pack and motors. Because of the placement of the gears, I had to reconfigure them a bit because the treads were moving in opposite directions.

    You know, the one I posted on April 1st?
     
     
    Thats wasn't a prank (Though nobody responded, so I doubt anyone thinks that is the case, but I figured I'd say it anyway).
     
    Anyway, I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning for a camping trip and will be away from my computer for a few days. So no internet.

    Changed my name again*. Now I'm just Serpent of Fire. No princess or any other title in front of it.
     
    And the Best news? I've even remembered that I'm a guy!

    Beyond tired. At work for the past week I've been working non-stop to get the place ready for a visit from the company VP. I am now so tired from work, that I have changed my name from serpent of fire to Princess Serpent of Fire. I've also become gender confused as y profile now says I'm a girl. Just for kicks.
     
     
     
    I am so gonna regret this tomorrow.
     
     
    And somebody please remind me to set my gender back when I'm done.

    Upgraded to a brand new DSi today, which caused my friend codes to change. If you registered me then you'll have to re-register me. My codes are in the link on your left.
     
    I've also been Ebaying some of my old games I never play anymore, so Mario Kart DS is now my only WiFi game at this moment.

    An update to my last entry
     
    Got the battery pack and motors in the mail today, so I took care of step 2 of my 3 step plan. Now I just need that Remote and I/R sensor so I can finish it. No pictures this time, its getting too close to the finished version, and I want to post the completed moc in BBC, but now its definitely starting to look more like a tank, as opposed to a hot rod with treads like it was starting to. I was hoping to be able to include a rider with it, but I keep having to modify the main structure in order for the treads to be able to support the weight of the battery pack, plus the whole thing is a bit too compact to carry anything larger than a McToran. I was originally planning on using 4 small motors to run the thing, but it turns out I've underestimated the power those little things have, so I've cut it down to two motors. I could probably get away with just one, but I'd have to completely rebuild the chassis to accommodate a one motor design.

    Today, I opened the mailbox to find that the two envalopes containing a total of 150 tread pieces (100 in one and 50 in the other, plus some cogs spread out between the two).
     
    This meant it was time for part one of my grand scheme

    Part 2 will begin as soon as the motor and battery case i ordered from LEGO come in the mail, and part 3 will begin once the IR receiver isn't on back order anymore.

    About to leave for work on one of our busiest days of the year, tomorrow and Saturday being the busiest. If I am never heard from again, then I have probably been mauled by a rabid shopper trying to get its food for friday.
     
     
    At least there isn't a foot of snow on the ground like there was last year...

    New Netbook

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Yesterday I got home from class to find that someone had left a brown box sitting on my chair. Inside was the new netbook I had ordered the day before from a verizon cyber monday deal for about $30, plus $40 a month for 2 years for access to the verizon 3G network, so I can access the internet with this thing from anywhere there is cell phone coverage.
