It's quite late here, I don't know why I am still awake....

Worked on the movie rental application some more today. We've got a new feature going which shows the customers rental history. Pretty easy to create. Did a couple bug fixes and stuff. Brought out the AR-15 today, that was awesome, I love it so much.

Also called Apple back in Burlington, MA. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be working there because they don't offer full time specialist jobs at the moment, and that's the only openings they've got at the moment. Oh well, maybe something else will come up.

I've added 2 new modules to SceneJournal so that I can crosspost to both DeathNote and Scribbld...tested and working. I'm pretty psyched to move to SceneJournal as my main. Although, I'm not too happy with the amount of themes offered. Oh well...

Tomorrow, not much is happening. Probably going to work on the movie rental application some. I think Morgan and I have agreed that this movie application is the last of our ventures into geekery. We'll be cutting back on a lot of it, so we can focus on other things going on in our lives. Scribbld, SceneJournal, DeathNote will continue to run, but not much work will be done on them. As mentioned we'll continue to support them as best we can and with what time we have but since they're not really paying jobs, not much effort will be put into them. Of course they'll run! How else can we document our lives and read about yours! :)

Ok, it's like 3am. I should probably get some sleep so I can wake up at a semi-decent hour tomorrow :) I really want to buckle down and study Japanese at some point.

 Well, things are coming along...I've been really busy trying to work when the power isn't out...when it is out, then I'm completely lost haha. The DVD application is really coming along. At the moment, the base core code is complete and now it's just adding in final tweaks and bug fixes which is relatively easy. It definitely challenges my logic though because you've really got to think about what the program and code is doing and how to make it do exactly what you want :)

Employment-wise I've got a couple things going on. I was supposed to fly out to Texas tomorrow to meet up with some people for a potential job, but they didn't get my airplane tickets and hotel lined up yet...so it looks like it might be next week instead. That's okay though...Although I really have no idea what I'll be doing this week. Probably working on that DVD application but you can only do that for so long. I'll probably try to spend as much time with my horse as I can, seeing as how I'll likely need to sell him with whatever new job I get since it'll likely not be located here in Vermont.

Yesterday, Abby made and brought me some pizza, it was definitely amazing! :) Then we watched some TV and then she had to get some barn chores done.

I believe once I am done with this entry, I'll be heading out to the barn myself. Today's my last day of chores, so it'll be the last stalls I muck for quite some time :) I'm quite happy about that :)

Tonight, not sure what's going on, I'd love to go out to dinner and a movie, dinner is doable, movie not so much since there's nothing decent in theatres. We'll see...I definitely want to just relax, no code, no servers, no nothing tonight, just have fun and relax :)

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!!

Wow, so I guess people understood where I was going with my long winded post yesterday. Thanks <3 It's those people who allow me to say without a doubt that I really enjoy Scribbld and the work I put into it.

That said...today was nice. I just spent the day up at the Davis Center on campus. I mainly worked on everything that I wasn't supposed to but whatever. I had planned to work a lot on that DVD Rental script, but I kept finding other things to work on. I actually looked for a couple new jobs and applied to a couple places. We'll see how that all turns out. I actually already have an interview setup for tomorrow so I am pretty psyched about that!

This evening I didn't do anything to special, played a little Xbox, and by little I mean maybe 15 minutes if that. I studied some Japanese, OH we upgraded our Internet line to 12Mbit down which is awesome, I've been able to hit about 9Mbits so far...I do wish the up was a lot better, I might email them and be like, I know you guys can handle at least 5/5 so comon! Sure would help me out a lot. I have a feeling if it doesn't go faster I'll be going back to what we originally had. Not worth the extra $15 a month to me at least, especially if the upload speed is staying the same.

In the last 24 hours our new SQL server has handle 100+ million queries without ANY issues so I am VERY happy with it.

Tomorrow Abby is coming over in the morning and we're going to make/have breakfast together, I'm quite psyched about that. I then plan to work on that DVD Rental application during the day, and then I've got that phone interview in the afternoon. I would like to get to the barn to do a little riding if possible. Then Abby is coming over for the night so that'll be awesome.

I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July! I would like personally take a second to thank the troops overseas who aren't able to be with us stateside at the moment. Thanks guys, your efforts and your jobs are appreciated. I won't say anymore then that for the moment, but seriously thanks!

Is anyone else noticing Last.fm oddities?!

 I won't say everything in this entry because there's some details I don't want the public knowing, so if you're friends with me on DeathNote, you'll be able to read the crazy shit happening in my life.

Been spending tons of time with Abby, having a great time. I've been working a lot on my DVD Rental application, which is actually coming along quite well. I showed it Abby today, she thought it was pretty cool! :)

I signed up for a GDGT account today - http://user.gdgt.com/jimmyb/. It's a pretty neat website!

haven't been up to much else. I've been wanting to go riding, but I've just been so busy as of late, I haven't had time. I am going to ask Abby if she wants to go for a ride on Friday or something, pending that Cub is in an okay condition to be ridden.

Today, I hung out with Bethany a little at the barn while we both did chores. She's a pleasure to be with, quite the fun/funny girl. After that I went to the store and hung with Abby. Sara, Scott and Abby's Mom were there so it was nice to see them all. Poor Abby was all stressed out about everything going on :( I'm sure she'll be fine though. Came home, had a nice dinner...Kat helped me with my resume and now it's ready for pimpin'! I am psyched. I've gotta do something nice for her, cause she really helped me out big time on this.

Tomorrow, I'll just be working on the DVD Rental application. Nothing is else is really planned.

That said, I would like to talk about Scribbld a little bit. I did talk about it in the latest news posting, but I feel like I need to say stuff about it here too. Scribbld was originally designed with 2 people in mind, myself and my now ex-girlfriend. I never planned on having other people sign up and use this site, server, resources at all! It was crazy because in like 3 days, it exploded and I was running around like crazy, purchasing new servers, multiple IPs, and redesigning my entire network to make sure that things were relatively stable. Mind you, I'm learning an insane amount of things about Perl, PHP, web development, server and network administration so this is totally awesome. Unfortunately, totally awesome doesn't pay all the bills, but, there were some EXTREMELY generous users out there, and we collected tons of money which of course went all back into Scribbld! Now, that's cool with me, but at the same time, this has become almost like a job to me, and as a college student we all know most of them are pretty poor. Now, I wouldn't say I am, poor and broke, but having an extra couple dollars in your pocket to hit up a movie or whatever, yeah it's nice, and feels well earned after dropping thousands of dollars and countless hours into a website, not only by coding it but by supporting the users using it. Correct me if I'm wrong! I mean, if I am going to put this much time and effort into something, I feel like I deserve some sort of compensation, and I have gotten some, but not as much as like at this point.

So as I mentioned, I'll be laying off of Scribbld for a bit. We'll be cutting back on some account features, to ensure that we can properly scale with the amount of users we have, what those features will be I am not sure, but for people with free accounts, you can expect something to change. Maybe this is incentive for people to pay for a service they think is worth it, and if you do, then toss us a couple dollars. I know when I find a really awesome application or a wonder web service, I have no issues tossing them $10, because I know, it'll be supporting the people behind it and that's a really great thing.

Either way, the bottom line is I can't afford to really spend so much time on Scribbld, and it's definitely shown as of late. Both morgan  and I try to get to support questions as soon as we can, but we have real lives (paying jobs) that take priority over Scribbld. We try to keep the code base current (without breaking to many things) and try to stay on top of things happening on the site, but sometimes, it just takes a while. We appreciate every single member here, and every single Paid Account user, and we thank you very much for even using this site at all. It's an awesome learning experience, one that will surely benefit us.

I don't even know if this post makes sense, it's just all the thoughts about Scribbld and all this running around in my head and now on "paper". Take it for what you will :) Scribbld's not going anyways for sure though! xoxoxo

 Been getting some really unusual music lately. Oddly I can stand it too haha. Brokencyde's new album is pretty hilarious. I made myself a ringtone from the Freaxxx song lol. I told Abby she could pick any one song and I'd make it into a ringtone for her when she calls me.

Friday I hung out with her. We went to her house, just chilled out, watched some movies, went for a walk. Saturday I finished up my final for Nutrition class, ended up getting a 94 on it and an A in the class overall. Quite happy with that. Then I met up with her around 12 and we went to her house, did some things to get ready for her party, took a nap, took a walk, watched some movies, then people started showing up around 5 or so...had a ton of fun at the party. I beat Bethany 21 to 4 in badminton. We did some four-wheeling which was badass, but we didn't get as dirty and muddy as I had wanted too lol. Bonfire was awesome, Abby and I laid out a tarp and watched the stars for a bit after everyone left, then we huddled close to the fire since it was kind of cold.

Sunday, we went and saw Transformers 2 which was pretty badass. That was too be expected though. Storyline, was eh...nothing to awesome...at least the movie was badass...after that we did chores at the barn and then went out to get some ice cream.

Today I spent finishing the add new customer bit on the DVD Rental script I'm working on. Also started in on the search feature which is pretty much complete. This week I'd like to accomplish finishing the edit customer part.

After I finished coding, I went to the barn to get my chores done. Then I went and Abby made me some pizza which ended up awesome. Definitely hit the spot and of course seeing her was awesome. Then I came home, and I've been playing a little Xbox since. I got a new free costume for LittleBigPlanet. It's the summer solstice one. I really want to get Killzone 2 for my PS3. We'll see, there's so many other things on the list. Haha.

Tomorrow, it's back to UVM. Ick. But whatever, it's money. I start my Japanese class in a couple weeks, I am pretty psyched for that. I need to write a letter to HR telling them what a fuck up my boss is. It's fucking ridiculous. :) Maybe I'll just move to Boston and work at the Apple Store. Who knows...Apparently Steve Jobs is back at Apple, he looks decent. Maybe he was secretly working on that tablet I so desperately want :)

I found out tonight that you can make ringtones in Garageband and since GarageBand can import songs I just used that instead of purchasing the song over again. So I made one from Brokencyde, Attack Attack! and This Romantic Tragedy. I'm loving it!

Haven't been riding as much because it's either been raining, or I've just wanted to come home and work on some web projects and things...or because Cub is lame which means Abby and I can't ride together...which has been quite fun the 4-5 times we've done so.

Only have to work tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday! Yay for Friday off, I am hoping Abby can spend the night on Friday, that would be most excellent. If not, I am sure she'll stay pretty late into the morning hours :)

Hope everyone has an awesome week!

 Sorry for not updating very much lately haha. Twitter is so much easier to use then having to find time to sit down and actually write something.

I've been riding a lot lately. Trying to get my horse into decent shape. At my departments retreat a couple weeks ago, I caught up with one of the ladies who works with us and she was talking about this like 3-4 day long trail ride that happens and said I should come, but that my horse would need to be in pretty good shape since it's all kinds of crazy terrain...so I don't know if I'll go but I know that both my horse and I need to be in good shape overall :) So I've been trying to ride as often as I can when I'm not completely dead from work and such. Abby and I have been going together a lot which is really nice. It's really great to have someone to just ride around with. We've been doing ring-work, and just riding out on the roads and in the fields. Tons of fun.

I guess we're dating now? Boyfriend/girlfriend, I don't know, maybe?! Hahaha. It really makes no difference to me, I guess it matters to her though, a girl thing? Who knows...

We went out to dinner with her sister and husband the other night which was really nice. I like them both, great people. We've been spending a lot of time together haha. I can't believe she hasn't gotten sick of me yet. She made me these amazingly delicious rice crispy treats too, love love love!! She totally doesn't seem to care that I have assault rifles either, I think this could be the beginning of an amazing relationship haha

Well, I've got at least 1 consulting appointment this morning, then probably getting lunch with my mom, need to get some pricing and set an appointment to get a fuck ton of things fixed on my car. Then I might have another appointment. We just put together a proposal to write an application for renting DVDs. It should be a fun learning experience.

Anyways, have a lovely day everyone! xoxo

Friday, I got out of work early which was really nice. I convinced our HR person (well more like proved to her by showing her the UVM HR docs) that I didn't need to take my vacation time all in one week, but rathe rover a day that could be agreed upon by myself and her. So I left a couple hours early on Friday, and this coming week I'll be working 8:30am til 10:30am haha That's definitely badass. So I shipped a package via UPS, then I called up Emily to see if she wanted to catch a movie, unfortunately she couldn't so I ended up going alone. I saw Pixar's UP which I thought was fantastic. I'm definitely snagging that on Blu-Ray when it comes out. I also bought a digital picture frame for my Dad for father's day and his birthday. I don't understand why those shits are so expensive. It seriously probably costs $20 to manufacture...oh well. He'll like it which is all that matters.

Saturday, nothing really happened. Just hung out. Did my 043 Exam #1. Worked on a new black scheme for DeathNote.me. Although we're really not supposed to be using that as a base which sucks. Oh well. I'll work on something totally new and fresh when I get the chance.

Today, also not much else going on. Going to head to the barn in a while. Maybe later this evening. I feel so lazy lately haha. Tomorrow, I've got 2 consulting appointments. Then we're going out to dinner for my Dads birthday. Should be nice.

I am hoping to get a little Japanese studying in today. I also noticed you can download dating sims from JLIST so I might try one haha. It's like $30 on avaerage for a game, so why not lol. I'd also like to do a little reading today...also need to figure out what I can have for lunch.

Well, I've been pretty busy lately. Trying to study and do well with my course at UVM. I've also been trying to work a little bit on Confessh.us code and DeathNote. But there just doesn't seem like there's enough time in the day! Haha.

Work has been going okay. I've been pretty busy lately, so I'm not as bored, which is definitely nice. I had wanted to go riding yesterday, but the weather was just so miserable and I had some things to work on for homework, so I didn't end up going. Today is a different story though, I do have an exam to take between 12pm and 2pm tomorrow, so at least I've got time to complete it. The weather isn't much better but it is FRIDAY!

I've been talking a lot with Adelaide lately. I'm so sad that she isn't local anymore cause I know we'd be hanging out like every day. I guess she's coming up in August, although who knows how well that's going to go over.

Nothing much happening today. I've finished most of the things I needed to get done, done. I have 2 meetings this afternoon, and then I am free. I'll probably do some riding this week and hopefully I'll be working on the new server. I think I am planning to announce a few permanent accounts for sale in the Hello June post in news. We definitely need to get those new HDDs for the new server and right now, that's my only hope for getting them relatively soon.

I really a need a girlfriend. I need someone to kick it with, I'm so bored after work haha....

 What what what?!?!

So I've been working pretty much all day on getting rename tokens working. I think we've almost got it. Fortunately squeaky is going to lend a hand and help out with some of the coding. I had to pull a bunch of code out and do things that you're probably not supposed to do to get this version working. And this version doesn't quite accept rename tokens yet, but that's definitely coming. So I thought I'd leave it open for FREEEEE for the next 7 days, get you guys to test it out, let me know how it works. Then I might toss out like 4-5 tokens when we get that working to do some testing on that.

I also worked on getting the searching working, so that's not quite finished yet, but it seems to be searching although, not much data is returned yet.

Boy what a day, I've been staring at this screen for about 12 hours now. My eyes feel like they're on fire!!! Hahaha.

So tonight, I think I might watch some more Fruits Basket, even though the English dub is really getting to me haha. And I'm not really that tired believe it or not.

Tomorrow, I am hoping the weather clears up. It's pretty much been pouring non-stop since 12pm or so. I would love to go out riding since I've been inside all day.

The MRTG graph for the MySQL server isn't working and hasn't since Friday afternoon, it's annoying the hell out of me...I'll probably spent hours trying to fix it too haha

Anyways, that's enough yapping for now, off to fix this issue...if it's not one thing it's another....lol.

So today, I woke up, and emilie  had left a comment and a message in my Facebook Inbox. The comment was on a photo I took of her old horse, I believe she called me an ass and told me not to post the image. LOL. LIKE SERIOUSLY?! Is she for fucking real?! She gets more and more ridiculous as the days go by. Her Inbox message basically read that she was mad at me blah blah, she was truly over what we had been, and she hated me and she never wanted to talk to me again...you get the point. Basically she made an ass out of herself again...which is sad. I wish she would just stop. It's so sad, to see such a an amazing and beautiful girl turn into this. But it's her choice...and there's nothing I can do about it. morgan  then proceeded to rip her a new one....which was relatively humorous...

Anyways, I've been spending a buncha time on MyAnimeList and AnimePaper. The people are nice, at least the ones I've met. Last night I installed a nice PHP script on Percheron which snags my latest watched anime/read manga and displays it on my own personally made forum sig. Wicked slick. It basically uses RSS, GD, and PHP. Very nice stuff.

I'm getting back into anime, which really excites me, mostly because it's hilariously funny stuff. I downloaded a dating sim last night, but I have a feeling it's of the hentai type...woops. I won't know for sure until I install it...will do that tonight.

I'm going to order some Chinese when I'm on the road, so I can just stop in and pick it up. I might even eat it there. Yummy!!

Not much happening tonight, might study some Japanese and watch some Welcome to the NHK.

 Wow, today was amazing by any standards. I did wake up a bit later then usual, but it was okay. Woke up. worked on editing the Horse.13 project page. Removed emilie 's links since she's not really apart of the "family" anymore and added the Trac and Subversion sections. Then I chatted with a couple friends, took a shower and watched some Welcome to the NHK which is hilariously amazing. I really love this series! I've got the first manga in the series, but I sure as hell would love to collect them all :) I've never collected a full manga series, which makes me sad. I've love to get all the Death Note books along with Welcome to the NHK. Maybe Gunslinger Girl too and Couple, hehe I love them all!! :)

Call me weird or whatever...but I'd also like to try out one of those Japanese dating sim games, obviously the non-Hentai ones. Just to see what it's like...maybe I'll snag one of JList or something.

This afternoon I spent at the barn work my horse. We did some jumping which was fun...although the outdoor was a bit mushy...but we had an awesome time nonetheless. I uploaded a couple pictures of him to Facebook. I really want to get another DSLR camera, probably the Canon Digital Rebel XTi or the XSi. Both very amazing. I wish I had my Rebel XT...oh well.

The CPU and motherboard to the new server should be in this week. I'll be ordering the PSU whenever the final funds hit my bank account.

Talked to my farrier today. I'm probably going to install ZenCube or whatever that shopping cart/ecommerce software is called and we'll use that. I think it might be easier to integrate that into the site theme over something like OSCommerce.

Tonight, nothing is going on. Probably watching some more Welcome to the NHK. I probably forgot to mention that I got my "Death Note" in the mail the other week. It's awesome. The first pages contain the rules, the next page has a few names that Light wrote down and the next says "Lind L. Tailor and then some more names. Basically it's amazing!! Any Death Note fan should have one :) morgan  and I both got em.

I got a few new JDRAMAs, can't remember the names at the moment. I have so many things I need to watch haha. I think I would like to see Wolverine...has anyone seen it? Thoughts? How about that Star Trek movie? I've not really a Star Trek fan, but I heard it was kind of cool.

Oh yeah, I registered for Fundamentals of Nutrition and Japanese Communication, I am wicked psyched about taking them this summer!!!

Peace out!

Been pretty busy lately, but then and again when haven't I. Sorry to people who I've not left comments for, I tried to leave some today.

I've been a little messed up lately, but not like seriously, just dealing with my feelings for <lj user="emilie">. I guess I don't know where we really are, I guess we're just friends, and stuff, and in reality I want it to be so much more, but I try to keep that bit of it inside me, because she's not ready for something like that yet, sometimes I don't know what she wants...although she's told me what she wants, it seems different when we're together.

She did get a new job, so I'm very proud of her, and she makes more then in her previous job so that's awesome. It sounds like she really likes it too, it's a job outside of the banking industry which is all she's known, she has some to learn. Which also sucks for me, because she spends all her time do that, which is understandable, I mean if I got a new job, I would be spending a lot of time learning about it, but if we were still living together at least I could wake up to her and fall asleep with her, in the situation we're in now, I can not do that, so it really sucks.

I don't know, things are obviously not how I'd like them to be, and I honestly don't know when and if they ever will be. I miss her more then anything in the world and it's killing me...so emo I know, but it's really how I feel. I literally cannot stop thinking about her and us, and blaaah. It's horrible.

Whatever...

Other shit I've been up to: working on a new web project which we launched on Friday. It's called Confessh.us and basically you can just submit confessions. http://confessh.us - we're still in beta, but we definitely want lots of people checking it out, using it and helping us squish some bugs! :)

Also been watching a lot of Death Note, maybe a bit too much cause I've been having dreams about it lately. It's a wicked awesome show though. I think next I might do Code Geass.

I've been cleaning up my airsoft guns and making sure they're in decent working condition. They all are for the most of it, next I've got to plan on which OPs I want to go to. There was one yesterday, but I didn't find out till yesterday, and there's one next week, but I'll be down in Massachusetts getting an iPhone replacement. So we're looking at probably going to an OP in Ghost Town on the weekend of the 25th (also my birthday weekend). It'll be awesome, of course, I've got to make sure Greg can do it as well.

Today, nothing really happening, watched some Death Note this morning, was awesome, but a bit sad. I won't say any spoilers :P I'm about to head out to the barn...

PS. Anyone wanna go out to a movie or dinner (date??) - let me know, I'm bored and need someone to hangout with :)

Have a good one kids <3

 Work is eh, getting rather mundane. The shit I do is well below my level and it's really starting to get to me. It's so boring. I guess I really shouldn't complain though because I'm actually quite lucky to even have a job at all, and one that pays well with good benefits. So yeah, I'll stop complaining about that crap now.

emilie came over for pizza and movies on Friday. We had a really great time. Things are definitely looking up between us and that really makes me happy. I know we can work our shit out and all. I am really glad we can hang out and have as much fun as we do. We ended up watching City of Ember which was really neat. I really enjoyed it. Then we just hung for a little bit, I think I gave her a back massage or something and then she went home. She doesn't really like driving around when it's dark and all. So yeah, had a really great night with her.

Saturday, I really didn't do much, worked on some web things, mostly for a new web project that morgan  and I are doing. No details yet, there's still a VERY lot of work to be done haha

Sunday, I texted with Emilie a bit, then was going to start watching a movie, but my best buddy Greg called and told me to come over. He lives down in MA now, he's originally from here and we've been friends forever, so anyways, he's up visiting with his fiance. So I drove over there, and we hung out there for a bit. Had some delicious angel food cake (that's what it's called right?), watched some of the Bruins/Devils game...I think when we left it was like 3-0 Bruins, I'll assume they went to win it, but I have no idea. Then me, him, and Jess went to the barn, I finally got to show him my horse. I let them give him some treats haha, I am sure he loved that. So then we went to Frankie's (also know as Friendly's to normal people) and got some eats. I've not been there since the summer, during one of my trips down to MA to see him of course.

So then I drove them back to Darko's and I came home myself. Finished, or rather started and finished Slumdog Millionaire. Was a pretty good movie, I liked it. So now I'm just reading a few things, I don't really feel very tired anymore, not sure what's up with that cause it's like 12:30am now. Oh well.

Emilie is going to come over tomorrow. Going to probably watch some movies, maybe take a nice walk and work on some job stuff. It'll be good!! I suppose I'll go watch some TV or something now and passout! :)

morgan although broken wristed has worked very hard with me on updating the Scribbld code base to the latest version (as of yesterday). One new thing i really like is that it automagically snags the latest song from your Last.fm account and plug it into the update page and also the update page (rich text editor) now works in Safari 3/Webkit. I am very very happy with that. It only took us about 45 minutes to an hour to upgrade everything which was really nice.

I beat GoW2 over the weekend. It was a tremendously amazing game. I have a feeling I might play through it another time because I didn't do it with makkintosshu or Keith. I haven't really heard much from either of those guys lately.

Wrath of the Lich King comes out this week. I am excited, although I don't know why since our Warcraft server won't be updated for some time.

I've setup my new MacBook and I am thinking about returning it already because the color is absolutely horrible. I never thought I would be one to bitch about color issues but this is absolutely horrible. I might have to run through the calibration thing again...The whole display looks all washed out, the colors are sucky. My old black MacBook was much better then this. I do enjoy the backlit keyboard though. It also feels really nice when you're typing on it though.

So today, not much happened minus the database maintenance and code upgrade. I'll be heading to the barn in a bit. One of the horses/boarders that had been there for like 8 years left this weekend. Sucky! I might go riding today...depends on how I feel.

Hrmm, I just played with the brightness on the MacBook, colors are a bit better now...

Ah, well, I'm out!

More busy excuses coming...I barely have time to use Twitter let alone Scribbld. I got my hands on LittleBigPlanet a couple days earlier then the scheduled release so emilie, morgan and I have been playing a bunch of it. I also grabbed the players guide today since I was up in Burlington with my car. I had to go up there to put in my hours since I forgot my time codes. Oops...

Everything else has been really good. Helped Morgan with some of the CSS and design of her new blog:

http://www.tehgeekgirl.com

I suggest giving it a quick peek, it's got lots of fun things in it!

I'm really digging Secret and Whisper, I really cannot stop listening to them. I think we're addicted!

Got to head to the barn in a little bit, then I think I might have to pick Emilie up from work but I am not sure haha.

I just finished watching Harmful Insect, awesome movie, really messed up, but I liked it a lot.

Well this weekend was rather nice, but far to quick for me. I feel like I didn't get enough done even though I did get a lot done. On I worked a bunch on some Warcraft servers with morgan. Finally around 8pm or so we had them both up and running and in a usable format. We got ArcEmu and a Wrath of Lich King (based on Mangos) up and working. I must say the new Death Knight class looks really awesome, I think I've got some reading up about it to do though because I am not sure I fully understand how it works. I assume Wikipedia or WoWWiki could help me with that though.

Saturday emilie and I hung out for the morning, had a nice breakfast and probably watched a movie, I can't remember. Then she went to the friends and I had the apartment to myself for the entire afternoon and pretty much until 12am when she returned. I spent most of the day squashing Scribbld bugs and adding CSS into the site. I probably played some Call of Duty 4 in there also.

Sunday, emilie and I went up to Williston. We bought a new dish since ours was starting to get a little rusty. We also picked up a PS3 and Devil May Cry 4. I still have my other 2 games (Drake's Fortune & Resistance: Fall of Man). We pre-ordered LittleBigPlanet & World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - Collector's Edition. LBP comes out next week, I cannot wait. I am trying to get Emilie to make me a nice Sackboy plushie. We'll see about that :)

I attempted to get Mac OS X Snow Leopard WWDC 08' Preview installed on my PowerBook but after looking at the Install PDF, I found out it required an Intel processor...I asked around on Twitter but I got mixed responses. Some said final would require Intel and others said G4/G5 would still be supported...and if that's the case why make the beta Intel only?! Weird. I definitely want to try it out, I would love to see something like a change log but the disc had no such file. maybe I can connect with one of the developers to see if there's such a file on the Apple developer site.

So I have a few things to say about the PS3. I used to have one of the original units. The more expensive model too. It had WiFi, Bluetooth, 4 USB ports (possibly more in the back, I cannot remember), and a decent card reader module. Now the model I just bought comes with 2 USB ports and no card reader module. I rarely used the card reader module but I have a bunch of extra flash (SD, MicroDrive, CF) now and I would love to be able to use them...

Is there only 1 PS3 model now, the 80GB for $399?? Or do they offer another model, maybe a 40GB?? Any idea why they dropped those features? It sucks. I did buy a 250GB drive and I got that installed. I love how easy Sony makes that, and it's super affordable (unlike some other console making company I know....cough cough Microsoft...). Either way, Emilie and I've been playing Pixel Junk Monsters, flOw and Super Rubber Ducky this evening. We're going to have SO much fun with LittleBigPlanet. I am so excited for that.

This afternoon when I went into Small Dog to snag that 250GB drive and a HDMI cable, I stopped in to see my best buddy, makkintosshu who is doing quite well. It's been a rather long time since I'd seen him, so we chatted, although brief, but yeah. I do miss the daily interactions with my buddies.

Tonight Emilie and I also watched WALL-E. I love that movie. I might buy it on Blu-Ray now that we've got the player.

I think I am going to head to bed now...

As usual, I've been incredibly busy...and when i do have a moment the last thing on my mind is updating Scribbld, so I must apologize to my poor site! I've been working on getting a full time job although I am starting to have second thoughts about it, mostly because I love and enjoy consulting far to much to give it up entirely...so either the people who want to hire me full time need to pay me at least what I would be making consulting or it's just not going to happen...half of me wants it to happen, half doesn't. I mean taking classes for free, benefits are all amazing, but does that compare to the freedom I have when I consult? It's very hard.

Been trying to do as much horse stuff as I can whenever I've got a free moment. I really need to get better about that and not spend so much time on the computers, it's terrible.

morgan and I have been working on a new World of Warcraft server which is now up and running. You can visit this site for more information. I've not had time to re-create my character, hopefully emilie isn't to mad that we wiped the database -- I know she had a few characters setup and we did have our Blood elves.

There's some idiot on #lobby now...

Keith and I are still trying to get paid by YellowSteel, it's really a pain in the ass...I am thinking we're definitely going to re-work how we setup consulting jobs...a lesson learned.

I've got the new Underoath album, I can't stop listening to that, the new Anberlin and The Academy Is...albums. They're absolutely amazing.

raf I added you as a friend :) Morgan says you've got some pretty elite skills.

Not much else to write about at the moment.
