I sent the letter to Mike and Jerry over at penny-arcade. Wonder how long it will take for them to reply back, I'm sure they get about 5 million e-mails a day.
LegoPAtion site is completely done, I have everything like I want it, and am very happy. I just downloaded the pictures for the second movie too. I might start editing them tonight, but I prolly should get to sleep, since I haven't gotten much in the past 10 days or so.
Ok, that's all I've got for now, I need to come up with a holloween custome, dang it.....

I'm cruising along with LegoPAtion, I'm about 10% complete with the next movie, that's all the filming. Now I have to edit the pictures and add text bubbles. I hope to get this done at work today, but I don't think I'll have enough free time to do that.
Before I even work on Vol 1 Iss 1, I'm going to finish the creation page for LegoPAtion. I have it written down on paper right now, so I just have to type it up and edit the.... ooo.... 30-40?? pictures for it. After this is done, I'm going to add something that shows how much progress I've made on the next LegoPAtion, like it would say 10% right now if I had it up. Once that is done, bam, the site will be completely ready. All that would be left is some minor java script addition and style sheet.
Ok, gotta run to the Chiro, and then to work.

Got the new TV, and it is nice, though I rarely watch tv, but you know, now when I do, it'll be on a bigger screen.
Almost done with the LegoPAtion site, it's looking pretty good. I'll definatly have it finished tommorrow, I figure... and hope. This means tommorrow I'll be e-mail Mike and Jerry and hopefully LegoPAtion will officially be open.
So... I went to school and then when I was going to head home after class... my car wouldn't start... the battery was COMPLETELY drained. Not really sure what from. So I had Erik come over with his car and we tried jump starting it. Fortunatly an Oriental guy came by and was trying to help and give adive and what not. We couldn't figure it out, I was getting a little juice from Erik's car, but not enough to start the car. It was weird. Finally the Oriental guy (I really should have gotten his name), got a portable Jump-It kit and hooked it up and the car started right away. We figured I had a bad battery.... however, it started right away with that jump kit so I think the problem was simply Erik's car. If he had a corolla instead of a prizm I know we wouldn't have had this problem ^_^ !! Well, so since that battery is ANCIENT, as in it might very well have been the ORIGINAL battery in my '90 Geo Metro, and the fact that it was caroded(spelling???) and had caused some rust around it, I went ahead and bought a new battery, also had to get a new bar holder thing for the battery since the other one had been eaten through.
Ok, back to work on LegoPAtion.

Good news. I completely finished the intro for LegoPAtion. Now I need to create the actual webpages for it. I work tonight, but I plan on working on the site after I get off from work.
Been looking at TV's for my mom, might be getting a new one soon, 27" instead of our 20" right now, and a flat screen too. Charlie's Chicken should be here soon, I love that place, good chicken, mmmm.
I've got the making of the LegoPAtions down to a science now, so it shouldn't take me near as long as this one took, now I think I can completely film and output it in... 3 to 6 hours, at least I hope ^_^
Ok, food, work, play.

Looks like I decided to wait nearly a week again before posting. I almost posted on every single one of the other days except one though, if it makes you feel better.
I have made vast progress on LegoPAtion. I figured out a much better way to be doing it, and thus am nearly 70% done, whereas with my old method I was MAYBE 10% with the stupid way I was going about it. Now I need to make the webpage....
I'm at Adam's right now, about to go to bed since I have class at 9:30 in the morning. I MIGHT wake up a bit early and work on the remaining 30%. Shesh, as far as making this little shorts, about 10% is spent on filming, 80% on editing, and then the remaining 10% is simply putting the edited in order in flash.
Ok, bed time.

I managed to post two days in a row now, aren't you proud!! Well I work very shortly. Last night I didn't get in till about 1:50 am b/c inventory was messed up, had to do some figuring out of things.
Consequently, most of my day tommorrow will be spent figuring and planning on how to best do a training program that I will be starting at work to retrain EVERYONE. I think I'll have fun with it, but unfortunatly this doesn't leave me time to work on LegoPAtion or anything else. Hopefully it won't take long to do this, and I'll have some time to work on LegoPAtion, or one of my many other projects.
So I got home at 1:50 and then read some in a book for a test I had today, went to bed around 3:00 am (was too tired to read and understand), woke up early, finished my review reading, went to school. I think I did pretty good on the test too.
Ok, shower then work.

Almost another week gone by without an update. Live with it.
Actually I had to reinstall all the programs to update with, not that I had to have those programs, but I like to use them. I'm happy with my new computer, except for a few minor things that I already knew about, video card and sound (both onboard). I mean they are definatly acceptable and work well, but I'll be wanting better. Plus right now I only have 256MB ram in my system because Brad is using my other stick of RAM since his died.
I haven't really had a chance to work on anything at all. Tuesday I was hoping I would, b/c I brought lil-g-box to work and everything, but I never had a chance to really do anythign on it, keep having to take care of things. Hopefully this weekend, hopefully......
Alright, shower then work.

Yeah, so I haven't updated in a week and a half or so. Technically I have, just not anything you can see. Been working on Flash MX. Got some animations going. Need to film 6 more short movies, put them together and all that.
My new computer came in. This is very good, b/c I'll start doing a lot more multimedia work, solely on it. I've got to put the hard drive in my older one into this new computer though. I'm thinking I should have just gone ahead and bought a bigger harddrive, I don't know what I was thinking at the time, I guess trying to keep costs down or something. I don't know, maybe a 20 gig will be enough for that comp........ Maybe I'll stick the 40 gig, or is it a 60 gig, that's in my other comp into it instead, hmm, i should go look. *runs downstairs*, yep it's a 60... hmm... dang it all, i'll have to figure out what i'm going to do with my hard drive situation...
Well, I'll prolly put some pictures up of my new computer soon. There's a link to some pictures off of Nick's site, you could look there I suppose. Ok, heading over to Lan House.

Well, I completed a rough draft of the Intro. I've decieded to call what I'm doing LegoPAtion, a play off of legomation, naturally. I still hope to have it done by the end of this week.
Instead of working on that, I've been attempting to setup my family website since my family (Emily and Mom) have been bugging me about it. Need to have them mess around with FrontPage (can't beileve I just typed that) so they can do some on their own. www.PotterFam.com is the site. That reminds me, I need to fix the registration to that, soon it won't be pointing to anything, which would be bad. That site is far simplier than this one, no scripts, just simple html and nothing else.
I need to also start working on a website for my Chiropractor, this one, however, I'll actually get paid for, so I really should start on it. It won't be too hard to do, I've already got most of the layout swiming around in my head.
I don't have much free time tommorrow. Maybe an hour, two hours tops, which will most likely be spent taking a nap.
My comrade Rocky posted today. He mentioned stuff of which I'll comment. I did notice he didn't post yesterday (nor did I), and was checking around midnight (soley because I was still up), however I was not upset by him not posting because I understand the hardship of posting everyday, you get busy, because, afterall, you have a life. I mean, heck, one of his favorite websites only posts three days a week, right? Furthermore, by looking at the webstats one can see that many hits to the site are a result of his website, in one form or the other.
Ok, I'm going to do stuff and then go to bed.
TUMEO.
