Happy Birthday Rocky!

Well Yesterday was my 26th Birthday,

My Family gave me Birthday Money in Cash; I used it to buy an Slightly Better Graphics Card.
An EVGA Nvidia Geforce GT 730 (2GB Video Memory), I was originally going to buy an EVGA Nvidia Geforce GT 740 (4GB Video Memory); until I saw that it Requires an Minimum of a 400 Watt Power Supply. Most HP Desktops that are Store Bought are Probably only an 300 Watt Power Supply at most! Well, at least I can Optimize TESV: Skyrim, with my Geforce Experience Client.
So, I went with the GT 730 instead of the GT 740.  Someday I'll update to an EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 GPU.

I'm Actually going to my local Walmart after College Tonight to Pay for my Walmart.com order in Cash. An EVGA Nvidia Geforce GT 730 and a DVI to VGA Adapter cost me $90.15. But, It'll be good enough for Casual Gaming; I spend most of my time Playing Around on TESV:Skyrim. I may Also get The Sims 3 or GTA V someday. I'm usually Casually Gaming on my Desktop or Watching Netflix on my TV. I rarely ever watch the Television (Cable/Satellite). I find better stuff to Watch on Netflix or an DVD-Video via my Blu-Ray Player.

I have plenty of Things to keep me Busy, though out the Day. And I really have no Complaints, personally I just wanna be able to Optimize TESV:Skyrim. So, I'm Updating from a Nvidia Geforce GT  610 (1GB) to an Nvidia Geforce GT 730 (2GB), which not only is a better GPU chipset but is also double the original Video Memory of 1GB.

GParted: The Gnome Partition Editor - Live CD

I Love the Gnome Partition Editor or GParted; it is a rather useful Program to Reformat an Computer or Laptop Hard Drive before Installing a Brand New Operating System or Re-Installing an Old Operating System, for Instance If you are Running Linux Ubuntu 14.10 on the Computer;But, want to switch back to Windows 7. You will have to use an Live CD version of GParted to Manage your Partitions and Reformat your Hard Disk From Ext4 to NTFS, before you can boot your Windows 7 Install Disk.  It is in the knowledge of OS installation to Use Live CDs, if you don't the Program will "Eat Itself", when you Format the Primary Hard Disk. The Software version is great for Removable media drives though. The Program is also Mostly for Linux Distributions, only the Live CD Edition will work on Windows and Mac OSX.

ISO Download :
Download gparted-live-0.22.0-1-i586.iso

Other Download Links:
Download: ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 for Windows (ISO Image Burning)
Download: Rufus 2.1.649 for Windows (Bootable USB Creation Utility)

Rocky's Custom M4R iPhone Ringtone Pack 2016




These Ringtones where all made by me using the Program iRinger 4.2 for Windows; as such, I only take credit for Making these M4R format Ringtones as well as Compiling them into an Nice and Neat Ringtone Pack. Compressed as an RAR Archive.  I hope you will Enjoy them; Just Import the Extracted Pack into your iTunes. If they don't auto-import in the "Tones" Section, Right-Click the Album under "Music" and select "Get Info", and Change the Media Type to "Ringtone". Then Just sync the Ringtones with Your iPhone.

Technical Specs:
Total Pack - 25 Ringtones, 10 Minutes, 19.7 MB (Data Approximated)
Each Ringtone - 30 Seconds, M4R format
