	Thursday, November 29, 2001 post://7512066/ Ever want a pet rock? What if that rock is in a special rock colony that you shouldn't distub the rocks in? What if you'd really want that rock even though you knew it would screw up how the colony looked to everyone... or at least how the rocks interacted with eachother. How can you be sure the rock would even want to have to worry about the other rocks, that is, if the rock wanted to be disturbed? I don't know... I'd like a rock, but there's other rocks to be had, they're just pre-occupied, I guess. So here I stand, ignius. posted @ 18:02 -x- Tuesday, November 27, 2001 post://7450223/ Well I heard back yesterday that I'd be getting my motherboard back, so once I get everything back together, the site will be changing again. With all the javascript, tables and the like its virtually impossible to edit the code by hand without screwing things up. I've been itching to play with some new graphics for the site, too. I'm really looking forward to playing Max Payne & Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Today my thoughts are on games: Wolfenstein 3D Return To Castle Wolfenstein Max Payne Motor City Online X-Box ...and music: I C R U N C H posted @ 16:57 -x- Monday, November 26, 2001 post://7422224/ Well I spent Thanksgiving working... and the day after - but I'm not bitter! (no, actually didn't have anything going on - so it's just as well that I had to work, at least got some nice overtime) Had a good post-Thanksgiving weekend, however. Went to a party at a frat-house in Troy, NY... did some shopping in Lee at the outlet center. If you're looking for name brands - this is the best place, period. Stuff I had bought prevoiusly for about $65 was $15 at these stores - could just be the xmas rush, too... but it was still some good clothes. It's like exit 2 off the pike.

If you don't, you lose right-hand information. Or at least in my case: about 3 months worth of various quotes, sites, and other (quite important) information. Of course, I hadn't backed it up since -- well, ever. Dumb me, oh well -- chalk it up to Palm Pilot - 1, Me - 3. (cause it looked better then 0) I am kind of amazed how well I can remember the things that were in it. Just looking at something will usually be all I need to remember it. So take this lesson to heart if you get nothing else out of anything on this site. More XBox -- different place, ooonce ooonce ooonce ooonce .:XBox Dance:.

I don't really mind because its not like I was up to anything, anyhow. I just wish there were people around to do stuff with. Everyone needs superfast cars, or live out here, not out there, there is too far, here -- near. yes. I played with both Gamecube and XBox last night. Initial impressions of each were positive, they both have odd buttons, but we need more of that. XBox was like holding a suede glove, and the Gamecube controller was crazy button-ness. Rebel Assault II was extraordinary -- follows Episode 4 (Original Star Wars) exactly. I was flying down the deathstar trench, then tieing up the walkers on Hoth =] on the XBox side it was DOA3, Halo, and Gotham Racing. Gaming is smart thanks to good processors... it was a challenge to fool the enemies in Halo, and DOA3 was its beautiful smooth self ("and they kick high" lol). I don't think I'd buy a Gamecube, but I can appreciate it... and its cheaper as well. Hands down the XBox took my breath away -- and the fact that it was on a 52" HD TV 16:9 w/ composite input didn't hurt either. posted @ 19:29 -x- Tuesday, November 20, 2001 post://7275271/ E! Online has an interesting section titled Fashion Police - celebs at various events in their best (and worst) dress. I don't follow celebs or anything... but its interesting to see that people actually leave the house dressed like this -- for everyone to see, no less =] ...that, and you see all the cool new stuff the designers are doing. All of a sudden there's 3 main game systems again, with XBox taking the place of Sega and blowing them all out of the water. Certainly the best of the bunch, but PS2 certainly kept me occupied for the past year or so. Probably won't buy XBox for a while, and screw gamecube... though my GForce3 P4 will certainly do me fine once its all back together again. Got a friend I haven't seen in a while, think I did an oops in inviting his girlfriend to a party. It was just a bunch of friends... didn't think much of it -- apparently he did. He's now busy with 2 jobs and driving all around to see her and get to his job... I know for a fact he doesn't have any spare time whatsoever, but he's insistant on hanging out with his girlfriend or friends, not both and thus far its been only with her. I'm kinda left looking for something to do... and I keep busy for the most part - I just miss hanging out with him. Life goes on and people do what they need to... I also have this issue with someone I called not knowing, I guess I was supposed to call the number on the back - heh, go fig =] I hate to say "no, sorry" based on appearance alone, but I've learned to go with my first instinct. I believe in love at first site, also believe in growing to love someone, and the all-important "oops... how didn't I see that before?" -- I'm good at that one. Now its time to go back to work, fun's over... time to get some PTS for PPA done ASAP. posted @ 16:15 -x- Monday, November 19, 2001 post://7246991/ Had a nice weekend -- watched the Leonids streak accross the sky on Saturday huddled around a roaring fire, then found a tomb on Sunday... not bad for a weekend. ;) Car was in the shop for about a week, good to have it back, much more power now, shifts at the redline (yeah I know, automatic), and turns out I have forced air with a specialized exhaust which gives me the whopping 16hp difference between my 97 GTS Probe and the GT. Now to get my winter tires... and I'll be golden. posted @ 16:34 -x- Friday, November 16, 2001 post://7182354/ Well last night turned out for the better - went out to play pool till late, grabbed a bite to eat at the local diner... and hung out with some pretty cool people, some which I just met, and I'm glad I did. I was watching CNN today, there was a press conference regarding Afghan matters, and pictures of special ops in Afghanistan. I was somewhat angry because the so-called pictures of special ops were fake. There are about 6 of them, some are quite small and scattered about the CNN site in reference to the war, etc. I have seen doctored images before, hell -- I've even made them. The images look as though they had a model serviceman all costumed up and photographed (at a much higher resolution), green screened (or via simple color isolation and deletion with lets say... Photoshop), and put over the Afghan location/people pictures. The images behind the soliders are grainy, but the soldier is clear as day, the outline(s) of the solider are also somewhat off (like you see with the older greenscreen technology). It's ridculous -- they wouldn't show the actual SpecialOps soldiers, unless the government is foolish enough to give any kind of advantage to anyone who might be watching our news broadcast(s). The only pictures I've been able to find are small... but I'm going to keep looking... Anyone who knows anything about images/photography can easily see the images are manipulated.

Me and a few friends hiked up a mountain in the dark, built a fire, and took in the sights. It was one of the best nights I've had in a while. The view was beautiful, the fire was huge... I only wish I could have somehow gotten a picture - but camera's don't work well in utter darkness. I could have gotten a picture of the fire I suppose, but didn't have my camera with me, anyhow. =] One of the best places to buy really expensive art - Brushstrokes Art posted @ 16:03 -x- Tuesday, November 13, 2001 post://7097831/ Ooooh ooh, more interesting links from my daily web-traversing.

I was looking at the new Aibo... I was thinking they should have a built in projector - then he can just project movies and whatnot over the wireless LAN ;) Just think: you could bring your laptop, aibo, and wireless LAN card around -- make the Aibo perform in the streets to help make the payments for more Aibo s! posted @ 12:11 post://6993772/ Sit back, relax, and watch the stars. ...especially if you're stuck in a really hot room, in training, getting the same procedures drilled into your head... over... and over... and over... posted @ 10:55 -x- Thursday, November 08, 2001 post://6976247/ If you don't know about "Majestic" check it out... I tried the demo and I'm impressed. It's kind of like you're paying them to keep your life interesting and get your money's worth out of your personal contact devices ;) I like the way its 5 episodes, not pay per episode as a lot of companies are doing... there's a pretty big following too -- fan pages abound, but I'm not sure if they contain spoilers... or support the rest of the story. posted @ 18:12 post://6972857/ In support of the theory that green dots are special... I have a green dot at my desk -- enough said. If you haven't checked out www.mecompany.com they have some pretty special green dots. posted @ 15:55 post://6967780/ My horoscope says I'll be getting off to a quick start today. I'll believe that when my BCC (blood coffee content) is about .8 @ 9:30am automatically. Today's a good day... not overly exciting -- but that can be a good thing. Feel like snuggling up with a movie tonight -- do a little relaxing. =] Xmas is looming -- the commercialization end of things, at least. Some people already have all their shopping done -- I hate to even admit envy of this, but its always such a task for me. Aren't we supposed to wait until December? I at least need snow to get in the right frame of mind ;) I still have to buy food... posted @ 12:48 -x- Monday, November 05, 2001 post://6894038/ Had a Halloween party @ Justin's this weekend, saw Drew - who's off to Afghanistan in the Navy. It was good to see him again... he's been in there for about a year, and still didn't have any regrets, good man. Kept myself occupied otherwise, so no real updates. I at least want to get things to a workable level... invited out for a nice home cooked dinner tonight, so that'll be nice =] I had a sort of uber-epiphany this weekend. Realizing a bit about how I approach relationships. Don't know how to fix it... but at least I'm aware of it, and maybe that'll help? =] s'alright, I'll be looking back on this time in my life later, saying - "Those were the good days..." uh huh, yeah. ;] hehe, such is life. There's a party next week @ Assylum, $25 if you get tickets ahead @ the Growroom in Amherst. posted @ 18:29 -x- Thursday, November 01, 2001 post://6796009/ Its dark out -- early. I always dread winter's arrival, then enjoy and curse it at the same time. I hate the driving in slippery weather -- the inabiliity to go where I please whenever I want. I like it being light out -- I can see stuff, but enjoy the night - and the sight of snow drifting down visible in the moonlight. I'm torn, but gimme a snowboard and I'll forget I said anything bad about it. =] posted @ 17:56 -x-
