EZ Server

Been on the road for 2 days, and almost had an accident.

FedEx Double jack knifed on the exit ramp and I almost joined him.

See video:

Going to bed now. Will try to read my emails after I wake up. I know a few people are waiting for replies, guilds to be created, etc.

Crazy! Glad you're ok, Hunter.

Slippery much? Be careful out there, and make a will or power of attorney so if you die the server lives on.  ;D

holy shit man. I thought ya was in the ditch for sure for a sec,then it started to come around. Talk  about a tight ass ! I bet you couldnt have shoved a pin up yours at that moment!

Glad you're ok Hunter.  Scary stuff.

Yikes!  Glad you were able to get traction back.  One of the biggest mistakes people make is stick on the breaks.

If you're ever down by Chicago suburban area, give me a holler and i'll be happy to treat you to dinner & drinks.

Be safe out there!

All the more reason to take February off! :)  Glad you escaped unscathed, more snow tomorrow be careful out there.

 Umm did you reach up and turn the radio off while all this was going on? And wtf kinda music is that..get some rock/metal going on !

 This is what should have been playing !

Techno. Best music in the world.

 Yeah if your at a rave waving glow sticks and rubbing up against other guys.. Down here you would get your ass kick for that shit !  ;D

Never been to a rave and never will. I just like the music.

Actually, I was just coming back from Chicago. I was taking the Indiana 80/90 Toll Road.

What you can't see in the video is my mirrors. My trailer was swinging to the right the whole time, so I was trying to get the trailer strait at the same time I was trying to steer away from the FedEx truck. Also, after I passed that truck, there was traffic merging from the left, and people walking around on the right, that can't be seen on my dash cam. I was able to get it down to 5 MPH before I gained traction.

I got a night vision dash cam on order. I love these things. I have a 32 GB Micro SD card with infinite loop that over writes oldest files, for about 8+ hrs worth in 1920 x 1080. Worth the investment for any type of driver (Taxi, Trucker, Police, etc).

This video is exactly the reason that my vacations will be in Jan/Feb for now on. Winter time is a hazard to my job security.

The music I was listening too was some sort of Various Artist / Remix of Techno/Rave/Trance/etc. I listen to lots of different types of music with Techno being the most common. It keeps me awake at night. I never been to a rave either, just find this stuff online.

 That explains where the "fairy" thing in there with 2.0 mob come from!  :D

Yeah I watched it couple times trying to watch for the trailer in you mirrors.

@Hunter
You own the truck or company own the truck?

Company owns the truck.

Yeah I have a GoPro Hero for recording my auto races and I swear I'm tempted to just run it all the time when I'm driving on the highway.. got clipped by a truck last year and he tried to say it was my fault and my pussy insurance company didn't want to fight him in court, so now one more accident or a ticket and my rates will be jacked thru the roof..  If I had been recording you would have seen where I was driving straight completely within my lane when the truck changed lanes practically on top of me.

Next time hit me up!

I was supposed to drive to Indiana this morning for a noon meeting.  They called me up and told me that the roads were so messed up that they had to cancel.   Thank God.

 Hunter's probably like Reginald Denny, if Reginald Denny still drives a truck. He aint stopping for anyone anymore ! I mean seriously, just mash the gas!

I was just on I-75 just north of Cincinnati heading south bound the other night... the road wasnt even touched.  Was so slick and snowy, was so glad when I seen Kentucky, they at least put some salt down.  Was a tense 50 miles for sure I feel for ya Hunter.

Would of stopped but the load was already so late already... gotta love trucking

Nice Fraps, glad you were able to negotiate a safe outcome.

I love that word, negotiate. And yes, I sure did that successfully. Gained traction at the last second barely missing that FedEx truck.

Or it could have been a big game of bumper "trucks"....the outcome would have been bad though..

Glad you made it safe...
!!

So THAT'S why it's taking forever to get my divorce papers =(

A nice 360 degree dash cam! Should make criminals think twice before doing illegal stuff in plain view in the streets heh. This one is expensive, about $2,000

I'm looking for a IR Night Vision Dash Cam with 1080P HD. I seem to be able to find either or, but not both.

"Serves as a cost effective investigation and counter terrorism tool"

I always promote sunscreen as a counter terrorism tool. Because it protects you agains free radicals.
How to Prevent Free Radicals from Damaging Your Skin and DNA (http://searchwarp.com/swa353413.htm)

"The sun's damaging ultraviolet rays, even in indirect sunlight, produce free radicals"
We should destroy the sun in the ultimate battle against terrorism!
Seriously though, the odds of a 2k$ camera being instrumental in preventing a terrorist attack are less big than the odds of Barack Obama coming out of the closet as not being the first black president, but also the first transgender president.

Also, Hunter, the camera you linked has IR vision - think the resolution won't match up to 1080p?

Also, isn't this what you're looking for? (http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/393667479/NIONE_5_Megapixel_Progressive_Scan_Full.html)

Im glad you made it out of that alright Hunter, I was in a collision working for Frito Lay along time ago.  They made me pee in a cup.  Kishii you brought back memories for me, I used to live on I-75 in northern Ky in Grant County.  I sure was glad when they laid down salt, I still was freaked out being from California and all where we aint got that kind o weather.

Bump

This that season again, which I'm glad to be skipping this time around.

I'd advise any driver to get a dash cam, especially for winter :)
