So the first 10 years of 2000 are gone and we are on to twenty-ten.  Exciting!

Things I am hoping for or expect to see this year:

1. Great year for our country to get out the mess it is in everywhere (we wont get on that soapbox).
2. Better / improved year for one self — don’t we all pray for this related to #1.
3. Social networking trends become old hat. (Please just make it all stop)
4. Year of Google… Watch for them to take a bigger stake in the world stage.  Remember, do no harm!
5. Microsoft loses even more face; even though Windows 7 bested Vista.
6. Firefox becomes the leader in the browser market.
7. Adobe becomes the most hacked / tool-set leveraged to do damage (PDF, Flash, Flex, etc).
8. Year of storage.  This will be the year that spinning media will start to see real loses to SSD and other tech, which will be good for us all.
9. CPU + GPU will become APU.  Watch for new types of “super” uses of these devices to make things change on the computing stage.
10. AI.  Refer back to #4.

Dec 31, 2010 I want to see what if any of these ideas come true during this coming year.

Lots of hope and prosperity can be there, just if we don’t mess it up as usual.  Right!?  And we say humans are the smart ones!

Another Christmas has arrived, making one to think back where has the year gone again!

I hopefully everyone has a happy, joyful and peaceful Christmas.

I know I am looking forward to this years with Skylie.  It made it so much better with snow showing up at the beginning of the week for her to enjoy and be out of school and extra 3 days.

Merry Christmas

Well, I think I have realized COD:MW2 is pluggin up the inter-tubes folks!  Just got Error Code 80022A07 when trying to sync my PS3 trophies tonight.  From what it sounds it has to do with the PS3 failing to talk to the PSN servers to sync.  I tried like 5 times over 5 – 10 minutes and then it finally went through.  Otherwise it would get to the same % and die.

I saw some other forums start complaining about it yesterday (what 24 hours into COD:MW2) and back in April 09.  I can only imagine servers everywhere on all consoles are just toasty from COD release this week.  I bet if you did a little research around some of the major releases you will find that some of the network based solutions (especially on PSN) get a little fussy as well.

If you get this, best solution, be patient and try to sync during another time of the day (most likely early morning when all your COD players are beginning to pass out).

Don’t delete your saved games, game data, etc.  It will come back, it is a network issue most likely at Sony and nothing to do with your PS3.

Patience is the key here.  Thank goodness.  Now if we could only have Sony put a “text” message on the screen instead of error codes.  The Sony Firmware guys must of worked at Oracle or something!

Thank you Sony for the elegant error codes!
