Friday, Saturday, and Sunday happenings, and a little school and website.

Let’s see.

I always think of stuff after a blog that should have gone in, but by the next time I forget it. And I know I forgot something.

So anyway, after the last blog I watched some TV and then went to see a friend at SVSU. We watched Scary Movie 2, which was good, but not great.

Saturday I sat around most of the day, then went with Cassie to see Eurotrip. It was good. Funny, a lot more nudity than expected, and not always the right kind <shiver>.

Sunday I cleaned my room. Not like last time when I just tried. No, thins was an all-day don’t stop till its done thing. It is really nice now. I can’t wait till these cloths racks can go in the attic though, even more room, yeah! So after that, Cassie came over and we watched the Academy Awards. As much as the oscar ceremony sucks, she made them fun. So we hung out for a while afterward and then went home (well, she did, I was home).

So that was my weekend. I thought of posting yesterday, because how often do I get to blog on leap-day, but decided against it. It would throw whole schedule off or something.

I guess thats it then. No real work on the website. I need to do some homework tonight and tomorrow, but nothing big. Will try watching Ferris Bueler’s Day Off tonight, since SOMEBODY interrupted me (kidding).

Spring break next week, woohoo, 2 days less school!

Ok, it’s nice out, go do something fun.

Ted: Later Bill, later.

So Tired

Tired, Grandma, Ver. 3, 800, DNR, and School.

I guess that 4 is just too late for me. I need to stop staying up to watch This Old House. It’s on at 9, but I always miss it.

Today was Grandma’s 72nd birthday. 1932, wow.

I have been working at version 3 more. The website now has a link to Ver. 3 beta 4 if you want to peek.

Speaking of the site, I reached my 800th visitor yesterday (Feb 26th) at 4:16 pm. The super-special winner is Cassandra…, uhm…, well just Cassie for now. She will receive a yet-to-be-decided gift, as soon as I figure out what it is.

I have an interview with the DNR for a summer position at state park on March 11th. I hope I get it, I can’t work with my mom forever, not good for either of us.

Other than that, school is going well and spring break is week after next. I guess it isn’t that big of a deal though, since I only have class on 2 days anyway.

Well, I am off to watch the remainder of The Great American Celebrity Spelling Bee, followed by maybe a movie.

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”

U^^pa lu^^pa

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,

“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.

Weeeeeeeeeee!

English is bad, School, Cleaning, Website, Weird noises, Pepsi/itunes, and Stories.

Hi all. Ever wonder why diner is a place, and dinner is a meal, but dessert is a place and desert is a meal? Thats weird, damn english. Would be different if I did it. None of this “phone”, “of”, or “queen”. No, in MY english, they would be “fone”, “ov” and “cueen”. I see no need for the “ph”, or the “q”. The first is easily replaced with a simple “f”, and the second with “kw” or “cu”. Besides, what good is “q”? It is the only letter dependent on another, “u”. Why not just incorporate that a “u” will follow, and drop it?

School is going fine, only 13 more weeks of it, woohoo! Then it will be nice out and I can bike, double woohoo!

I am still cleaning my room more. Is just clutter I need to move around and sort. Nothing too bad.

I might re-structure the website, and make more additions. If I do, it would screw with links from the blog though, so I would need to go through and correct the broken links. Will see.

Whooh! Three people just signed off at the same time, made a weird sound. Strange.

What else…

Ohh, To answer Scott’s question, No. He posted a comment to the last blog asking if Apple would have a Super Bowl commercial, and they will not. They will however be featured in Pepsi’s, as Pepsi is starting a deal to give away 100,000,000 songs from the itunes music store. I would like to say now that if any of you receive a winning bottle cap and decide you don’t want to download and install itunes for a free song you could just get from kazaa, I will gladly take your caps. The promotion runs from Feb. 1st to to March 31st.

Since nobody ever commented on Bionica, I will be writing a second one anyway. The first one was bad mostly because of all the introduction crap, and I think I can do better on the next one. We will see. I am also going to edit my quick story from a few weeks ago and put it in short stories on the site.

Ok, thats all for tonight, go home.

Life is like a box of chocolates,
Sometimes it’s a wonderful gift,
and sometimes there full of laxatives and turn everything shitty.

Pre Intro to Sp. Ed.

Uptime, Stats, School, and Jim (yeah, small)

Wow, I came a bit too close. It’s like 11:47, and I am just starting this post.

My ibook is still running, barely. OS X is a very stable OS, just not an 18 day uptime OS. Just the same, I am leaving it going for a 21 day record, so will restart on day of next post (Monday).

Yesterday was 15th, and that means I should be at 800 hits, but I was at a mere 650. I am glad that the “i” to “*” swap worked out.

First week of classes went well. Advanced HTML may be a pain, and Network Essentials more so. JavaScript though, will be good. A) It’s in the G4 lab, so I get to use a QS 933-60GB-1GB-SuperDrive, which is nice, and B) The teacher is also the DifEq/Linear Alg prof, so is a freaking genius, though he seams to have a bit of trouble expressing his thoughts, or something.

I went to Pinconning with Scott last night, to see Jim. Jim will be a seaman soon, so we wanted to see him, but he wasn’t working at Sunoco like he should have been.

Ok, thats all the time I have, will aim for more on Monday. Probably wont use computer much till then, since it’s being so slow.

Remember when we were young and nieve, and thought bastard was actually bass-turd, yeah…

Uhm, Yeah

School, NAIAS, Book, iMac, Uptime, No more winter, Weird question and No new macs.

I was wrong, online class isn’t till tomorrow technically, but its online, so it doesn’t really matter. I do have class on campus tomorrow though. Suck, I have to do something. So wrong, oh so wrong.

NAIAS was disappointing. When I went with GM, we went during employee days, so less than half the number of people we encountered. Nothing incredible to see. Jason took 152 pics on digital camera, so I will see if I can get some to post.

I read more today, about half through book. I could finish soon if I tried, but I don’t think I will.

We (Suchyta and I) tried to fix the DVD-ROM in the imac today. We did manage to clean the case up, but status of the drive is unknown.

I broke my uptime record. At 15 days, 7 hours, and 3 minutes as of 11:23. If you count back, that means my last boot was last year, on Dec 29th at 4:19pm. My old record was 12 days, 11 hours, 59 minutes from 8/4 – 8/15.

I can’t wait for summer to come, I hate this weather. I want to ride my bike.

Is “The Gum Disease Known as Gingivitis” contagious? I probably don’t want to know.

BTW, no new Apple stuff today.

Ok, need to take a shower and get to bed for class tomorrow.

TTYL

What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
