I'd say I didn't do too bad on this test. I think this is saying I am lustful, but damn, I'm a human, what can you do!

Christmas

Dec/26/2003 02:52 AM

Christmas is now over. I would say my Christmas went fairly well this year. It was Hailey's first Christmas for one thing. We went to Nickcole's grandaparents house first and had lunch there. Then we later headed to my dad's house for dinner. Christmas Eve night we went to Nickcole's mom's house. There were a lot of people at Nickcole's grandparents house. Ususally there are over 50 people there for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it seemed like even more than usual this time. It was hard to find a seat for eating.
I think everyone enjoyed the gifts they received from Nickcole and I for Christmas. I got my brother Ian the same thing that my mom did, a DVD tower. But they are the exact same, so they will go good together.
My brother bought a Wavebird wireless controller for the Gamecube for me and Nickcole. That is pretty cool. I haven't tried it yet though.
Well, I'm gonna end this a bit short. Having an IM conversation with Zakai Hamilton about ScreensOS, so that will probably take up the rest of my time before bed.
Here's some pics my brother just send me from tonight at Christmas. He took these using a new Sony digital camera he got:

I Was Robbed!

Dec/23/2003 02:39 AM

I can't believe Princess Peach and Diddy Kong. I was in third place and out of nowhere, they come flying across the finish line to beat me by one thousandth of a second. That is crap.

What Flavor Are You?

What Flavor Are You? Mmm, I am Lemon Flavored.Mmm, I am Lemon Flavored.

I am bitter and twisted. Expect from me acerbic humour and sharp commentary. While I may seem nasty at first, I'm actually quite good company if I like you, so long as you don't mind a bit of cutting to the chase. What Flavour Are You?

Iraqi War Cost

Dec/16/2003 12:31 AM

I added a counter to the sidebar of my website. It shows a running total of the estimated cost of the Iraqi war (or "conflict" to be technical). The code for this counter can be found at costofwar.com, along with info on how they come up with the number. Tixx at Cliesource said it looks to be running at about $1000 a second, and I believe the costofwar website said the cost is like $4 billion a month, so basically a billion dollars a week.

Cliesource News

Dec/16/2003 12:25 AM

Reggie, the founder of Cliesource has asked me to be a moderator at the site. Cliesource is basically my home away from my actual house and work and I would love to be able to contribute to the site more, so I accepted his offer. I will now be joining Reggie, Joel, Rod(rldunn) and Leslie(yellowrose) as part of the ClieSource staff.

Hailey Visits Santa Clause

Dec/16/2003 12:19 AM

Tonight me and Nickcole took Hailey and my sister Teddy to the mall to see Santa. Teddy also had to do some shopping for our mom.
Hailey and Teddy with Santa
Hailey didn't cry or anything, I don't think she had a clue as too what was going on.
Also, a funny thing; they were taking pictures there for you as they always do. I looked at the prices and it was $13 for a single 5x7. We were going to bring our digital camera but forgot. I said screw that, and we were thinking of just using the camera on my phone for the pic (the pic above was taken with my phone). But, then I decided to buy a disposable camera and I am glad I did. A camera with 27 pics only cost $5. But it took a lot of walking around the mall to find one. All the stores have been moved around since I was last there, and I thought Radio Shack might have a camera, but Radio Shack wasn't even there anymore. I did find a one hour photo place though that had some cameras.

More Napoli News

Dec/14/2003 02:55 AM

If anybody cares. It appears that Napoli was not banned from ClieSource last night when everyone thought he was. He went on another posting spree today. But the mods had there eye's on him today, and they deleted some postings. Joel has informed me that he is now in fact banned.

Update to Previous Post

Dec/13/2003 02:26 AM

Well, it looks like the napoli problem has already been dealt with. It was noticed at ClieSource that napoli has been removed from the ClieSource member database. I have never heard of them doing that before. Even previous trolls like UtahJazz85 had numerous warnings, then a month suspension, then a three (or maybe six) month suspension. He eventually just left I think. But his user ID is still there. I don't feel bad though. This guy is one of the worst trolls I have seen at ClieSource.

3000 posts at ClieSource

Dec/13/2003 01:36 AM

It was only July 10th when I had hit the 2000 post mark at ClieSource and that didn't even seem that long ago. A couple of days ago I now hit the 3000 mark. I'm not sure if this is an accomplishment or what. My posting frequency there was actually gone done since Hailey was born. My post per day count was steadily increasing until I reached 8 posts per day. Now I am down to like 7.3. Not a big difference I guess.
There was been a bit of annoyance there recently too. Some poster by the name of napoli was been stirring up trouble in every thread he can. Every post in the NX forum is "You should just get an UX50". Then he keeps harping on newbies (which he is himself, he just thinks he's superior because he now has the title of Senior Member only because he has posted almost 200 times without any content in the posts). What's really annoying is the constant use of CAPS LOCK and incorrect spelling. (I have bad spelling, but he doesn't even try). He calls himself a Sony Product Analyst, but I think he is just some 13 year old kid getting off on causing trouble. Another thing that is annoying is something he started today. Every time someone made any small talk not 100% related to the topic, he has to respond "this isn't a chat board, please stay on topic, I'm trying to improve these forums by keeping them about Clies only" or some crap like that.
He is driving me nuts. Oh well, the mods will take care of him by tomorrow.
I also hope to have some good news involving ClieSource here in the near future, but I don't think I should post it just yet.

Kazaa shuts down Kazaa Lite

Dec/10/2003 02:56 PM

I went to the Kazaa Lite website a little while back and seen they had a mega-codec pack available but at the time I didn't download it. Today, I went back to the site to get the codec back, and it was gone. Then I saw this news article at The Register. Looks like Sharman Networks people were able to shut down virtually all download sites. I guess this is probably because they want people to use there new paid version of Kazaa. The article also says that the newer version of Kazaa has the supernodes set to block older versions of the software, and since Kazaa Lite K++ is based on version 2.4, soon this app will no longer function with the rest of the network.
Here's another good news story about this.

Minor Site Update

Dec/09/2003 01:11 AM

I put an add-on to my website today. After helping a friend get colored scrollbars to work on his website, I came across freemoby.com. While I was there I found a wealth of info about Movable Type (the software this website runs on). One cool feature is nice titles. It adds a nice little box to links that have a title tag in them. Unfortunately, this feature isn't supported in my browser of choice, Opera. :(

How Old is Your Inner Child?

My inner child is sixteen years old today

My inner child is sixteen years old!

Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something's gotta change. And it's gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.

Life

Dec/07/2003 03:01 PM

Actually, this is a post about nothing. Just thoughts. I'm supposed to be starting a job at CoreComm in East Lansing pretty soon. Actually, I was hoping to have already started it. A guy I know, Brian Oakley works there, and he is helping me get in. I have already had both required interviews, and Brian said there was supposed to be a job opening near the end of October/beginning of November. Turns out it didn't happen. I am now just waiting at the top of the list for the next opening they have in the tech support department. I can not wait though. Seems the bullshit that is McDonald's keeps piling up more and more each day. You would think mice are running that place. They might as well be. Nothing makes any sense around there and I think a group of 4-5 good mice could do a better job. It's almost embarrassing to be on the management staff there. At least I don't have any actually power around there. Things would be much different if that were true. The place would be run like at actual business with profit in mind, not a fucking kindergarten classroom. If the owner Joe Fix knew half of what went on there, he would go on a firing frenzy.
Well, I feel a little better letting that out now. Have a nice day everyone!! :)

Birthday!

Dec/01/2003 02:25 AM

My birthday is now over. It was a fine day. Not a whole lot went on. I had to work, so I couldn't go out and do anything. Nickcole did get me the movie T3 on DVD which is pretty cool. It's a great movie. She even made me a cake which I brought to work to share with them and everyone loved it.
Well, that's all for now.
