Me Getting Sappy

The reason for my “Happiness” and other drivel.

Ok, all three accounts at once, in order.

The first one, on February 3rd, was a girl I met online. She was great, and everything was going well. On Wednesday the 11th though, I asked if I could meet her, and she told me she had a boyfriend. Well thats nice, lead me on for 2 weeks and let me down just before Valentine’s day. Thank you.

So, I was talking to a friend online, and she really helped. Hence, the following happiness (that I actually didn’t report to you).

And then the third happiness, that you think was the second. Again, a girl online. I talked to her last Saturday and Sunday, and she seemed cool too. So I tried to set up something but she was busy all week, so I figured I would just see her online. A week later, on Sunday evening, she was online again. Sadly, only for about 10 minutes then she disappeared. So, I don’t know about this one yet.

So, thats the reason for the happiness.

So, I don’t know. I guess first, why do people post on personals sites if they’re not looking for anyone? And why do people send “icebreaker” messages and then not respond to replies? Do they get a kick out of screwing me into paying $20 for a subscription? (Jokes on them, it was a free trial.)

Anyway, enough of that.

I have watched UHF and Bogus Journey so far. I want the soundtracks to the Bill & Ted movies, but can’t find them anywhere. Most places just redirect you to Amazon who only has used versions. Suck.

Also, I got a haircut, and I went shopping.

Ok, that is all, return to your business now.

I Finally Did Stuff!

Jim, Movies, eBay, Uptime, and “Soon”?

Scott and I met Jim at HCB Friday. He was exactly the same. He is leaving for the Navy, tomorrow I believe. He will be a semen, err seaman.

My movies came in today. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey, Ferris Bueler’s Day Off, and UHF. I haven’t watched any yet, but will soon.

What else…

I got the money for my stuff on eBay, hopefully Nick gets some more of it up next week.

I found out my 21 days of uptime is squat. Check out these servers. Those are in days. The current leader has been up for 1741 days, or about 4.77 years. Thats insane.

I have decided we need federal guidelines for timing. There needs to be a definition of “soon”. Genji Steakhouse claimed in August that a Saginaw location was “coming soon”. They still claim the same thing. If it was “soon” six months ago, then it could be another six months from now. And even six more months from then. We need regulations that state how long “soon” is, to keep this kind of thing from happening.

Ok, thats enough. I don’t really feel like writing this anyway, I just do it for my peeps.

Yeah…

Ok, I’m going to watch my movies, see you all Tuesday.

Lobotomy: when a lobotist uses a lobotom to otomize your lob.

Uhmmmm, Yeah

Just crap

It’s hard to title a ranting when you don’t know what it’s about, and harder when you know it’s about nothing.

There was another update on the website I forgot, I copied the GI Joe story onto the portfolio page.

I have passed 750 visitors now. Was on Feb 17th at 12:01 am. That means Jan-Feb was 100% higher visits than Dec-Jan (100 v. 50). At this rate, I will have 1000 visits around the beginning of May, just before the 1 year anniversary. I am currently awaiting the 2000th page view though.

I have been doing more work on new version of site. It is sucking though. I was trying to make site look like the blog, but why? It’s not like it needs to, or that the blog looks real great. Will be a while I think.

I don’t know what else. There are secrets that some of you know and some don’t, and I want to keep it that way for a bit longer. If you have no idea what I am talking about, just give it a week or so and I should be ready to say. Other than that though, life is going and I want a job. I can’t think of anything else.

Guess not much great as promised for today, but maybe Saturday.

Those are the kind of people that put the “ours” in “yours”.

Stuff

Random happenings

Well, I have a webcam now, but it doesn’t work. I can’t find a mac driver for it, just 98 and 2k. Since I didn’t pay for it, and the person doesn’t want it back, I will either give away, or trade for one that will work on a mac.

I was very lazy this weekend, and I liked it. I need to do something productive though soon. I need a life.

My taxes still aren’t back, and still no fin aid. I need to ask delta what’s up this week.

I think I updated website again, but not sure. I know some links were wrong that I fixed, but don’t know if anything major. I did start work on the new look though, but I’m not liking what it’s like so will need to tweak. I figure by blog’s anniversary (May 27th, yes its far off), I will have new site up. Ohh, I updated quotes, thats it.

Other than that, not much. It’s sad really, I judge the usefulness of my life based on how much I write in blog, and blogs have been very short. Not good.

Ok, will need to do something to make Wednesday’s update worthwhile. See you all then

Visual Update

Visual change, Loser, New mouse, and More visits.

You may notice that the look of the blog has changed. Being that I never see the published blog, I didn’t really realize how hard it was to see the gold links in black text, and I felt it needed an update anyway, so here you go. The links are now blue, visited links crimson, and the blue in the header is a deeper shade. Also, the entries are now outlined, so it is easier to see them in the lists.

I bought a Big Gulp at 7-11 today, but didn’t win a song. Bummer.

In JS class today I swapped our broken Apple Pro Optical Mouse for a new working one. It is white too. Delta has an extended service plan, so gets a new one free. Stupid apple making crappy mouses.

I have listed my blog on dotmac.info and my view count is way up. Sunday is my monthly view survey. It looked like Jan – Feb was going to be just a hair up from Dec – Jan, as most of you were less frequent in viewing over Christmas. Now though, I don’t know. I was estimating around 710 for Sunday, but I am already over 720.

Also, just want to mention that I removed my school files, and linked right to my site on Delta’s server. It is easier to keep everything updated that way.

Ok, I don’t have much else. I guess I will see you all Sunday.

Surely you must be kidding?
No, and don’t call me Shirley.

Number 90

90 Posts, Bored, 700th, Web site update, theBroken, Taxes, and SB.

Wow, 90 posts. Wednesday March 10th will be 100. Thats a lot of posts, huh?

I have decided 6 credits is too little. I have way too much time, and not enough to do with it. I either need more credits or a job. GM, Where are you…?

Scott Michael Helber was the 700th visitor to the website (see I know his middle name now).

I played with the site structure finally. It looks the same, but is just better organized. For example what used to be homepage.mac.com/nslyax/pics.html in now homepage.mac.com/nslyax/images. The same goes with the stories all being at /stories/, blog stuff at /blog/, and miscellaneous stuff at /misc/. I have added a /school/ section, but it isn’t fully up yet. I still need to recompile the java applets form source code and add Adv. Web and JS as I work on them. By the way, I have dubbed this update v. 2.5.

Other than that, not much new here. I will be spending some time fixing links in old blogs eventually, since they are all broken now. Speaking of broken, the Broken says they will have a new episode by month end.

I filed my taxes, I am supposed to be doing my brothers, and will do my FAFSA as soon as my mom’s taxes are done.

Ok, that’s all I have for now, enjoy your week.

Ooh, and new SB was posted today!

“Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb”

Who is 700?

Number 700, The year is goofy, and thats about it.

Who will be the 700th visitor? I don’t know. I have been waiting since Tuesday, but nobody came. Well, soon we will know. Speaking of which, I have re-enabled guest access to the counter, so you can peek through all my visits, or at least the past 50 or so (I think it’s 50).

I have decided that we are too trusting. We take far too much on faith. Like, the calendar. I understand the whole days thing, since there is a definite start and end, as we point toward or away from the sun (or a specific constellation in the case of the astronomical calendar). But the year is different. What are we pointing at on Jan 1st? A good way of defining a year would be to base it on the date we are pointing toward the center of the galaxy. When we next face that point, it has been a year. Now yes, a year is the time of one revolution around the sun, but that only provides a basis of time passed, but no basis for a start and end. I just don’t like the whole way this is set up, I don’t know.

Still no 700. Where are you people?

It doesn’t matter. I am leaving. My mom wants to go get shoes or something.

Bye,

If you meet someone online, and fall in love,
then when you finally meet, is it still love at first sight?

Happy me, School, Address book, GM, and EBay.

Hello.

I am in a good mood right now, but I can’t say why yet. I hope I will be able to, in about a week maybe. We will see, or I will see anyway.

I had a “girl” try to cyber with me Sunday night. Was very funny. I went along with it for a while, but she is blocked now. Notice how I said “girl”, and not girl…

I have to go to class tomorrow, which is stupid. I should have taken 210 online, thats all this really is. We walk in and she says “Go to www.delta.edu/flpeters and read your assignment, email me when it’s complete.” Wait, what? No explanations? No lecturing? Why am I here? It’s stupid.

I filled in my address book on the ibook. Now on buddy list it’s all formal looking. It’s all “Nicholas James Suchyta” and “Jason David Julian” and, well, I don’t know Scottiews middle name. I do know that his name is not Scotthiew, and that he finds it at least semi-annoying, which is funny.

I wish GM would start hiring. I need $$, and they have $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. So the way I see it, we would go well together. Seriously though, I need a direction or something, and that would definitely give me one.

Nick has listed some of my stuff on ebay for me, I am very thankful. My PowerBook, Palm, and USB card are up now, more to come as these sell. Future listings include, well, there are alot of them, we will see.

Ok, that’s enough for now. More will come on Friday. Have fun, don’t die.

Life sucks, but death doesn’t put out at all.
(sorry nick)

Bored

Random happenings, I don’t know, just read it.

Hello all. It is about 4, and I am bored, so I am writing my update now.

Let’s see….

Well, I have done nothing since Wednesday, other than go to my JS class. Barb and her kids, my mom, and I went to Hooters at 6 afterward. Other than that though, just spent some time online playing around.

I guess I could work on the website some more, after the blog. I really need a life if I am going to do HTML for “fun”. Of course, we all knew I need a life anyway, didn’t we?

Molly keeps sleeping with me. Crazy dog. She wont sleep straight, she needs to be curled up with her chin resting on her hind legs. Takes up alot more room. Is weird.

Scott is outside plowing the street. He has scraped up alot, no idea where he is going to push it all. We will see.

My mom went for orientation for Addeco, to work at SC Johnson. Just waiting for drug test to come back, so shouldn’t be too long.

Snow was put on sidewalk at the corner, and across street in neighbors yard. They don’t have a sidewalk, so is ok.

What else…

Doobie, doobie do…
Do doobie doobie…

Hmm…

Well, I am fairly sure there was more, but I can’t think of any of it.

Apple hasn’t released anything since MacWorld. The Mac’s 20th was on the 24th, and nothing, several Tuesdays, and nothing. The supposed G5 update on the 28th has come and gone. I don’t
know what’s going on there. Only real news is Virginia Tech is upgrading there 1100 G5 PowerMacs with G5 XServes, supposedly at 2.4GHz, faster than what Apple is selling currently. That will be one royally kick-ass cluster.

Ok, I am going to go look for something productive to do. If I don’t my life may drop below that “meaningful” line that I would prefer to stay above.

See you all later,

nick

“The hunger monkey is humping my leg.”

Yeah, it's kinda like that…

Weather, Cool teachers, More weather, Website, and Pepsi/itunes.

Hi! Sorry about the shittyness that was the last post, but anyway, get over it.

How about this weather, huh?

Wow, wait, holy crap! I sent my JS homework out at 6:16, now, 6:23, I received confirmation and grade (20/20, thank you very much). Why can’t all grading be that fast. I am impressed Redman, I really am.

Anyway, the weather, yeah. What did we get, like a foot total? Every school in the freaking state was closed today, except Delta. We got a delay until 10, but my class isn’t until 12, so that did squat for me. And they were closed all of yesterday, but I only have class Wednesday and Thursday, so more squat. Bastards. At least they didn’t cancel while I was on the way there, like my freshman year. Was open at 7:20 when I left home, closed by 7:45 when I got there. That sucked ass.

I will be adding all my Delta assignments in a special section on the page here. Well, not ALL, but the ones I deem fit. HTML, Adv. HTML, java applets from my Java class, and all the JSs from Java Script. I won’t bother with the C++ or Java Applications, as they are big files, and all the C++ is Windows. Beside, I through them away, and only have source files now. I will already need to re-complile the applets.

Also, I will be adding to/editing the links page to include all the places I ever linked to from blog, and some more places that are just cool.

Anyway, what else…

Pepsi/itunes Super Bowl commercial is online here. Be warned though, it is popular and often comes up busy.

OK, thats an improvement over last weeks anyway. Have fun till Saturday.

So godawful that it ruptured the very fabric of space and time with the sheer overpowering force of its mediocrity.
