Well, yesterday I made it back safely from Canada. I didn't update, however, because I caught the flu, most likely, felt very not good towards the end of the night. Stinkin' Canadian flu, according to one of my friends, "Canadian Flu. Worse than AIDS!". I have my doubts on that though.
I usually heal up pretty fast from being sick, and this seems to be the case, I'm already feeling a lot better, so that's good. Going to eat some food, and then go into work for inventory night, I hear home office will be there as well, such fun.
So, Canada, yep, I was there. It was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed my stay. I took 283 pictures (well, I TOOK more, but I deleted a few bad ones). I got to go see "Xavier's School", which was a military academy that got shut down in like '95 or '97 or something, got pictures there as well. Visited a "castle", that's really just a big house the locals back in the day considered a castle. It's supposedly hunted by more than one ghost too. I like bubble tea, and might even start a buisness here, open up a shop to sell bubble tea since there aren't any that I'm aware of, heh.
Coming back was fun. Had to pay a $10 canadian few to the airport, basically, if you depart from the airport you have to pay it, just not coming in, it's an "airport improvement fee", I believe several other countries have this as well, but I wasn't ready for it, fortunatly they take VISA (in my case a VISA check card from my bank). After I paid that, and was walking to my terminal, got asked to come aside, and they got to look through my luagage, asked me if I had any drugs while I was there. I was like, no, and prolly had an interesting look on my face, b/c I was thinking of who would actually answer yes to that question, so they had me take out my wallet, and swabbed my driver license and a few other things looking for drugs. Then I got past that, and went through the metal dector and another x-ray machine for my lugage, and then had me take out all my electrical equipment, and swabbed some of that too (this they do to all electrical equipment for anyone who goes through, or so it seemed), so lots of fun. Then, flight home, having, what I thought was just a cold at the time, the flu didn't make my flight home too good, don't get me wrong, I did what I normally do while traveling, I slept, by my left ear didn't seem to want to "pop" coming down from that high elevation, and is still kinda bothering me now, though I think the shower helped with that, and it's all normal now.
Alright, food, then work.

Hey, so it's been forEVAAAAAAR since I updated. I got busy, and lazy, so I kept putting it off. I'm leaving to head to the airport at 5:10am (that's less than 3 hours from now), and will be heading to Vancouver, BC, Canada. I'm visiting my friend Jay up there, and should be fun, I'll be coming back on the 21st, so pretty much no updates till then, hopefully when I get back I can start on my LegoPAtions again.
Spent most of today hanging out with my sisters, which was fun, played Heroes of Might and Magic IV, then minutare golf, and we just got done with the game we started (something we very rarely accomplish) and look at what time it is. Just about to start packing, that will take me 10 minutes, clothes, cd's for fixing computers, and camera. Hopefully Jay and I will get to go to Victoria, and even more hopefully, swing by the old military school where x-men was filmed (well, the school part of it anyway).
I still have to swing by the theatre real quick, see what voices I need to update, and mess with a few thermostats for while I'm gone.
I'm very very very happy school is over with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like my GPA will be a 3.2 for this semester, well, assuming an A in Theatre (i went into the final with a 100 average in the class, so if I don't have an A, I might beat myself up.............. a lot). So that's not too bad.
Not much else going on, A-Kon is coming up, so that will be cool, I'll have to clear my credit card up, and my bank account is still having a slight draw on it from a certain game server, I guess I might end up paying for it for awhile, I think people like it, except for maybe certain recent activities, thought from what I understand, efrags is doing some upgrading, though by now they should be done, one would hope....
I have some plans for this site, my orginial concept for it was actual Lego's, that was it's sole purpose, but Legos came very slowly, pictures however came quickly, so it started to be a collection of pictures. I want to swing focus back to that, and off of this "blog" that it seems to have turned into. I'll create a "blog" link on the nav bar or something, and sort through the billions of pictures that I have, just take it slowly, starting with the Italy trip. I also need to update my family website for my family, and show them how to so I get bugged less.
Ok, tired, going to pack.

Well, I'm not sure if I managed to tell the story to everyone, but now I'm using a different web hoster, and they seem better, slightly more resources, and looks like possibly a faster connection, plus slightly cheaper.
So, what happened, something stupid. Basically, for a friend, I was setting up a "shopping cart", that basically just takes info from a form and e-mails it to the person in charge of purchasing. So I uploaded this FormMail.pl (a perl script that puts all the info into a managable form in the e-mail), but apparently this FormMail.pl has a few.... problemswith it.
So, someone started using that to send spam e-mails about "I'm a college student, check out my site" junk. And powweb e-mailed me saying that my FormMailer was open, or something, which tells me absolutly nothing, and said I need to fix it or my account will be taken down. So I went into it, changed somethings that I figured would fix it, and then responded to the e-mail saying, "I changed some things and the problem should be fixed. Please e-mail me if the problem presists and I'll do my best to fix it.", then about 3 days later, they e-mailed me saying, you have been warned and the problem is still there, your account is suspended until you fix the problem, this e-mail I got on Thursday morning sometime. Well, I work all of Thursday, so I didn't have a chance to do anything about it then, and I finally got around to having time to mess with it on Friday evening, so I try logging onto my ftp, and I can't!!! I mean, how can I fix something if I can't even login. Well then I check my e-mail again, and I've gotten two more, one saying, your account is terminated, and the second saying, in light of blah blah blah you will be offered a pro-rated refund. This frustrated me very much, to which I responded with a series of e-mails. I also posted on a forum with powweb, that was before I realized I had been cut. So, powweb isn't open on weekends (unlike my new place, 24/7/365), and I wasn't getting any response, and I wanted it back up, so I searched and found this new hoster, and signed up with them. Oh, I almost forgot the other thing that made me really mad, I have two different webservers with powweb, they completely disabled the server that had the formmailer on it, and the other server they just disabled the http part, the part that displays to the interent, so in affect, they disabled both accounts so that people couldn't view them, this really made me mad b/c the other account didn't have anything wrong on it! But anyways, come late monday, powweb sends me an e-mail saying they are now willing to work with me, well, I am done with them, I probably would have gone back, if this new hoster didn't provide more for less, and they hadn't already made me mad about something I couldn't control. I didn't find out about the formmailer being so easily used until my account was disabled, they didn't provide me with any useful information regarding how the formmailer was being misused until thursday as well. Fortunatly my account with them is up today, today was the renew date, which I didn't renew, at least on the one server. Oh well, I guess that about sums it up.
Now, onto a different topic....
Actually, I don't feel like talking about that topic right now, maybe Friday..

Wow, have I ever been lazy. Oh well, that's life for you. Ug, I really can barely wait for school to be over, it's just so grating...
I've got two more commericals to film for my sister, and based on how the last one went, I really need to get started on them now, instead of 2/3 days before I need to give them to her. I was able to pull off the last one by throwin' in a bunch of previous legomations I'd done on a little "tv".
I've got a pre-season match on Wednesday for counter-strike, I'll need to be practicing the map that I've never played on. Fun fun. I've been playing a lot of GemStone III as well.
There are lots of things I need to get done (edit the Summer PTA kid show flyers and punch cards for another theatre, update 3 or so webpages, school junk, and a few other odds and ends).
Food, or something.

Gotta love April fools day. Nothing too exciting has happened though, the most exciting thing happened on an on-line game I play ^_^
I was going to go through and update all my friends webpages, but then I realized I don't know how via Moveable Type, haven't even ever touched it. Oh well.
I've got a "commerical" to finish up for my sister, I'm doing this legomation with voices instead of balloon bubbles, and let me tell you, it's a lot more work that way, but it all good. I'm havin' a bit o' fun doin' it.
I saw Wes on Sunday before I came back. He's still in Ft. Sill, probably won't be deployed for awhile, but he's having fun. And my dorm room is still empty, though it has cluttered up A LOT. I need to clean.....
Filming time.

Wow, I'm up early, and I've taken a shower and gotten all ready already. I stayed up pretty late last night too, but since I took such a long nap late afternoon yesterday, I'm not really tired, at least not anymore than I would if I had gone to bed at a "resonable" time.
Well, about to drive, not sure how long, I figure an hour, to Choctaw. Got the directions all printed out, so hopefully I won't get lost, I usually can find my way around places.
No idea when I'll be back at my dorm, I'm planning on fixin' more locks at Starworld later tonight, so most likely I won't get back here until Sunday.
Food, then drive... or at least those two in some order.
TUMEO.

I've missed quite a bit of posts, haven't I. Oh well, don't worry, I've been having fun in the mean time.
You know, that's an interesting phrase, in the mean time, mean means average in math, so I guess it's talking about the average time, heh, according to good ol' Dictionary.com it is "Time measured with reference to the mean sun, giving equal 24-hour days throughout the year.", though a defination a ways down stating it is the middle time seems more accurate to me.
Well, tommorrow I'm going to OKC to do some line-judging for the AWANA program. Then I'll go to Tulsa after that and fix some locks at Starworld or something.
Hopefully this weekend I'll do some filming for my sister for a Large Group thingy. Oh, and for those of you who haven't checked out LegoPAtion lately, you won't know that basically I'm going to be updating it randomly until May 12th or 19th, then I'll start updating regularly again. I want to be able to mess with other things and not have to worry about that right now.
Alright, I think a nap is in order.

So I didn't post much over Spring Break, I was busy, enjoying my time, and now it's back to school and being sad -_-
And I didn't get my LegoPAtion done either, but I will be doing it today, and hopefully get it done today, I do want to make a really cool explosion, but that would mean putting it off prolly another day, well, maybe not, we shall see, we shall see.
Alright, food.
TUMEO.

No updates you say? Spring Break I say!
Yeah, so I didn't update for two days, but hey, it's Spring Break, and I've been having fun. I'm about to go in for work, inventory night, I'll be there till after midnight.
Nothing much else to say really. I'll try and make the next LegoPAtion tommorrow and get it out of the way, I have to make an explosion, so that should be fun. Also, my sister has asked me to make a Legomation for her, kinda like a commerical, so that should be fun.
Work.

Now at White James's house, the LAN has been moved. More fun and wasting time, but it's fun time, so it is not really wasted, but some of the most important time you have.
I'll be messing with converting all the flashes into .wmv format and such. I gotta create intro's though, so that will be the big portion of it.
Fun Time.
TUMEO.

LAN is still awesome. More scrims, and I just got done taking the pictures for LegoPAtion. This one is going to have an awesome camera spin on it, I'm very happy with it. This one will still be in flash, b/c I have to make the introduction for the movies in .wmv mode and all that.
Well, I've got a long road of editing infront of me, this is the most single pictures I've done in any movie, 101 all-in-all.
Editing.
TUMEO.

I love LAN. LAN'ing it up.
They line judging was fun. About to do some Scrims. Tommorrow I might go and do some work, fixin' locks and what not. We shall see. I got it to do a .wmv successfully for the LegoPAtion.
Scrim.
TUMEO.
|
I am already very happy. I just got done doing lots of scrimming, and it was very fun. My eyes are about to pop out b/c of contacts.
I'm going to be doing a big o' line judging for some games tommorrow during the day. Be done with that sometime after 4pm, then back to LAN house.
I'm going home now to sleep.

One more day of classes is all that is left, just three classes, and that's it, then I get to experience Spring Break, though I'm not sure how much of that time will be my own time, but oh well.
Going to head off to work after this next class, and stop by and see my nephew and sister, as they are at my house right now visiting on their Spring Break (well, really my sister's, as she is a teacher).
Alright, class, and then drive.
TUMEO.

I really don't like accounting, it is my bane, just because it is annoying!!!! Plus a teacher that reads out of a book, and stupid assignments, ones that were made for other problems, but you have to figure out how to do a smiliar thing with a completely different problem, and I mean completely different.
Well, two more days, and then Spring Break where I get to........... work....... yeppie. And just one more test, in Intro to Theatre, I don't think I'll have to much trouble with it.
Ok, sleep or something.
TUMEO.

Took an exam on Monday in Accounting and today in Statistics, they were oh so much fun.
Haven't made it any farther with messing with .avi or .wmv really.
I'm going to write a play review now, I hope.
TUMEO.

I've been messing with turning the flash movies for LegoPAtion into .avi's. So far I like the result, but I think I need to make it streaming, and I have no idea how to do that as of yet. It took me long enough to get the dang thing doing the .avi correct.
Well, if you want to see it, click here, but you'll need the latest version of Divx, without Divx, the movie would be 638MB instead of 900KB.
I'm going to let my mind melt after the aggrevation.

Going to be updating LegoPAtion in about 30 minutes. I changed a bunch of stuff as far as naming conventions. I had changed it so that the actual .swf's where on another place to download from, but the site stopped working how I wanted it to... or something, I'll mess with that later.
Anywho... yeah, I have a test on Monday, and then another on Tuesday, plus I need to find out about reserving rooms and stuff for the Fall semester.
TUMEO.

Got the LegoPAtion for Monday finished yesterday, so that's one thing I don't have to mess with. I'm changing the look of the animPAtions page just a tad, some people might not even notice if there's a bright light near the screen.... but you won't see it till Monday. And Rob, hopefully when I get back from Tulsa I'll make that .exe!
Yeah, about to head out to Tulsa, then back to Stillwater late tonight or sometime on Sunday. I need to get a haircut, been needing one for.... a month.
Well, enouch chit-chat.
TUMEO.

I didn't update yesterday.... did anyone notice??? Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to, I think Wes was the only one the checked it everyday, mainly b/c it's his homepage, and he was my roommate, and is gone >.<
He going to be busy busy busy, doing a lot of drilling before he heads out, fortunatly he'll be able to go to a concert on Sunday.
Well, I'm being a lazy bum, and I think I'm about to take a nap, trying to figure out if I'm tired or not. But how can you not know, you ask? Heh, then you don't know me very well.
I'm going to try and get the LegoPAtion done today, that way I don't have to worry about it as much later, we'll see if that happens though.
Yeah... ok, nap.
TUMEO.

My dorm room is very empty. Wes's family came and took practically all his stuff, and he took the rest a little later heading out to OKC. It's going to be weird without him here, I might just have to go and join some groups or I'll might become anti-social (even though I already am to an extent).
Well, bed time, got Work tommorrow.
TUMEO.

Some of you might recall that a few weeks ago I talked about how Wes might be shipping out, well the orders he got came, got canceled, new ones came, they got put on hold/canceled.
On Monday morning (8:40ish am), a phone started ringing and awoke both me and Wes, Wes stayed in his bed like the bum he is, so I got up and picked up our Dorm room phone, thinking it was that as I didn't recognize the ring. After picking it up I realized it was bum's cell phone, so I hung up the dorm phone, picked his up, and was like, dude, it's yours, at which point it stopped ringing, and the dorm phone started to, I was like, shesh!! So I picked the dorm phone up again, and it was for Wes, being his mom on the other end. I promptly handed the bum the phone, and made my way back to my bed, wondering if people realized calling college people before noon is a VERY bad idea. Well he talked abit, and wrote some numbers down, then ended up calling people, I was thinking, hmmm... this is like before, is he getting orders?
Finally he finished calling, and I was like, "You getting called up?", he was like "Yep", I was like... close my eyes. Then my alarm went off, like two seconds later, and Wes, the bum I remind you, laughed. I was like, garrr.
But uh.. yeah, so Wes is for sure going. He is already un-enrolled from OSU, lucky bum got out of doing some papers too. And, whereas my room will become much more spacious for me, I will be losing some for greater than the space gained, that of a good friend, gamer, mentor(GemStone III!!!), and person. Form what he knows, he probably won't be gone until the 18th or so, so when he actually leaves the country, I will mostly likely write something about it again.
I'll make sure the bum writes me from where ever he ends up, or I'll go over there and stuff some sand (of which I'm sure there will be a plethora of) in his mouth, or something. He'll be at gaurd for the weekend, and pretty busy I imagine, at some point he'll be at Fort Sill.
That's the big news I'm posting for today, was too tired to post it yesterday.
TUMEO.

Arrrrrrrrrrr, I been playing GemStone III for the VAST majority of today. But I had fun doing it!! Was in a little race with Wes to see which of us would get or "trains" first, I'm head by 3000 right now, but going to bed, so he'll prolly pass me.
Speaking of Wes, he's shipping out!!! But I'll write about that when I wake up in like 9 hours or so, that way I can address it better or something, yeah... that's it....
So many things I need to work on, but dang college is gettin' in the way, grrrr. Oh well, college work, then other junk.
Oh, so yeah, today, it's an interesting day, when you write the date, it can be written as such 3/3/3, it's the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the 3rd year of the twenty-first century (2000 was still part of the 20th century, 1st century started at 1A.D. and all that jazz, blah blah, don't care if you disagree, I own this site, and it's still 03-03-03).
I don't know if I mentioned it, but I'm tired.
TUMEO.

Well, I changed the archive news a tad, making so there are "Previous" and "Next" links on that you can click on on the bottom. I'll prolly go in there and had a "First" and "Today" link as well. I also already have the next LegoPAtion done, Volume 1 Issue 5. If you are smart enough, you should be able to figure out how to watch it early.
Maybe, that is a slim chance, but maybe I'll get to working on the .exe form which you'll be able to watch all the LegoPAtions by just double-clicking on it (you'll still need to be connected to the internet).
Nothing else to say really.

Back in Stillwater. Saw Dave, Paul and JT, haven't seen them in foreVAR. I'm bored right now, and being lazy, b/c I could film, or make the thingy to see the films with.
Saw "About Schmidt" and "Cradle 2 the Grave". I enjoyed both, "About Schmidt" was a bit strange, but had a good amount of humours spots in it. "Cradle 2 the Grave" had a most interesting killing-the-bad-guy-end-move-thingy. More POWERFUL than 2 Heroshema's (horrid misspelling I'm sure), yeah.. just watch it.
Uh... food or something.
