    Well…

    Monday, January 22nd, 2007

    I got it :-) Proud owner of a Macbook Pro. Very happy. Now i’ve gotta get accessories for it like a screen protector and maybe protector for where the wrists go.
    1/26/07 5:30 PM: It now has 2 gigs of RAM. Parallels now runs BEAUTIFULLY

    One Dropped iBook Later…

    Sunday, December 24th, 2006

         Well someone had a little accident with his computer on the 21st: I kinda dropped my poor, defensless little iBook. I went to pick up my laptop bag and someone *coughmecough* forgot to zip up the laptop compartment. So everything fell out in a wonderful display of stupidity.
          It was working fine until I tried to plug the VGA in; it did the blue between changing resolutions and never came out of it. Poor thing. And it seems that all the fiddling we did made the hard drive controllers die or something along that line. Can’t find a hard drive in the OS X install CD or anywhere else. So I decided:
         TIME TO GET A MACBOOK PRO!!!!! That was my intention for most of my money anyway, but it looks like I may be able to get it a little earlier than I thought. Very exciting.
         But for now I’m stuck with just a PC. I’m actually coping pretty well. I have most of the stuff working (email, newsfeeds, aim, iTunes), just not with that Mac touch. Besides iTunes, which is of course a mac program. I even got my ipod to behave with a lil app called MacDrive. Very nice.
         So for Christmas I hope I get mostly money, cause I’m gonna need it; for both my car and for this little slice of heaven…
                                         Merry X-Mas Everyone

    New Site

    Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

    New site design, still making it behave universally (stupid template somehow stops the entries from being shortened and the whole continued reading thing).

    A template i’ve wanted to do for a long while now, based on a theme from the CSS Zen Garden.

    Now if only it would be happier…I’ll deal with it when I can find some time. Until then, live with pages that freak out like anything besides the homepage….
    Added 12:00 AM: Or view the source code….
    Added 12:02 AM: God that old theme was hideous…
    November 16th 6:45 PM: It’s beautiful now (I hope throughout the entire site)!

    We’ve all gone MAD!!

    Saturday, November 4th, 2006

         This week has been fairly interesting around our immediate vicinity. Everyone at school has gone completely insane doing stupid things. We got a PSA saying some kid fired a shot in the air at a bus stop. There was a person throwing nails into open classroom windows, and it’s just generally been hell.
         Me and a former teacher were discussing things, trying to attribute these behaviors to something. Mostly it boils down to easily influenced people watching influencing TV and lack of authoritative parents or no parents. The latter isn’t always true, because there are people more responsible now then some 30 year olds. But the majority is horrible.
         This nation…freedom, but very corrupt in many senses. Parents: control you kids, stop working so much, and don’t abuse them because of your issues. Does that make any sense to you?

    Oh, and I’m gonna upgrade my blogging software right after posting this, so the site may completly fall apart; i’ll have it back as soon as possible.

    If you wanna check out a site I’ve been working on, take a look at ocjcl.org. It’s a site for our Latin club, and we use flamingos in our adventures…(you really don’t wanna know)

    Remeber: in life there is no ctrl+z (edit – undo)

    thankyou

    Suggestions, anyone?

    Thursday, August 24th, 2006

    I’m looking at colleges, and wouldn’t mind a little help; the criterion:

    • Small
    • East Coast (preferably New England)
    • Good Computer Science program
    • Probably more, i dunno…

    jeez it’s so difficult to look for colleges, you get picky about the location and then have to think about your major, it’s hard. I’ve heard freshman change their majors multiple times, but there’s always someone saying you don’t have to decide now. Take your time, etc etc.

    well if you say take your time i procrastinate like hell

    thanks for all you input, if anyone’s still brave enough to read this….

    Friday, May 19th, 2006

    OK first off black macbooks. Still want macbook pros over macbooks. nuff said.

    What’s up all? I’m gonna try to do a train of thought type entry here. Twill be interesting. School today, boring as ever. May be building a new machine and selling current one to a teacher. OH! you guys should check this out: Skype offers free US and Canadian phone calls ’till end of year. Pretty crazy. If you have a microphone and high speed on your computer then you should definetly call someone with it. Go ahead.

    The blog has risen again. Tempted to make from scratch a new template for this place. Want to find a way to change the header image for the time of day. Or just an easier way to change it to what I want. Good ol server, I like having my own. So cool.

    Anyways later, wondering if anyone ya know reads this since it’s inactivity.

    have the macbook again, hehe. Soo much fun. The cool part is running windows inside of mac.

    Ok, so that’s not windows, it’s linux. But, windows does work. And nicely at that, too. If your wondering what program that is, it’s at parallels.com. They have it for Windows and Linux, too.
