stupid forum

every time i get just about done upgrading my board with various mods, images, goodies, etc. the peeps over at invision services come out with a new update to the codes, so i have to go through and re-install just about everything on the board. kind of annoying, and i know i don’t have to do it, but i’ve always gotta have the best stuff for my friends to use. so right now, i’m currently workin on gettin my forums workin the way they were before this update, and also gettin all of my links on the whole site updated to reflect the addition of my new photo gallery area which can be found here: http://www.iohelix.net/photos or in the links on the right side of this page.

i still can’t decide what template to use on the photos page, but oh well, i guess that’s life, and i have more important things to worry about, such as finals coming up, a take home test i should be doing, registering for the U which starts in like 20 days (3 weeks), and trying to keep my money problems under control.

but its nice to get away from all of that stuff for a while and just get immersed into the computer and workin on stuff that gives me a real sense of accomplishment,  so…   gonna go get myself a sense of accomplishment!  =)

plur, l8

LAN party!!

i bought a new computer on fri. cost about $2000 after taxes and extras and games and all that good stuff. the specs for the system i bought can be found on the totally awesome computers website.

it’s got a lanboy case that is light as all hell, with a window and some phatty blue lights on the interior. so i had to test out this new system so i took it to a lan party that some friends of mine were havin and…  HOLY CRAP!! i was doin about 400x better than on my old 350 MHz system that could barely handle 480×340 res on CS!  so it was so much more fun than i had remembered, or had previously on my old system, which by the way, weighs about 40 lbs and is encased in a full size tower that stands about 2 ft tall from the floor!  not too easy to transport.

but my new system is not quite complete, i had upgraded to a 19″ monitor that was on back order and i should get it sometime this week. its a mark better than the 17″ loaner i have right now.

anywho… there are a few more items on my list that i would like to buy for it, mousepads, more lights, etc. but they’ll hafta wait until after my friends wedding.

oh well…  plur l8

the weekend!!

so its only tuesday, but i’m pretty excited for the weekend!  it’s gonna be a fun couple o days.
for some reason i have this feeling that thurs will be a pretty good day to be at school, either because everybody will be so anxious to get out of there for the weekend that they wont want to do school stuff and pretty much take over the class and have a ball with it, or i’ll be so excited that i won’t care that much, either way…

then on friday… it’s the 4th and we’ve got a pretty good party/bbq planned, pretty excited about that, because then i get to spin records, which is always good, 90% of my friends are planning on being there, and that’s the whole reason for a party, isn’t it?

then on saturday… i’m going to my second airsoft game, the first was two weeks ago and it was a BLAST! it was so fun to go running around playin “let’s pretend i’m an army boy”.  got shot a couple of times, didn’t really hurt more than the pride, but i got a couple of them pretty good. you can check out the website for the team i play with here: tac4 airsoft website

anywho… workin on a mod for my board lately that i can’t quite get working right, but i’m learnin, and it’s comin along…

other than that, plur, l8s

yay stress >(

i had a pretty big test today in Philosophy, so i was up all night studying, and while i was walkin around, just killin time, because i needed a break from aristotle, the Buddha, and tryin to fix the stupid water sprinkler, i walked in the garage and noticed that there was a garage door open and a car halfway stickin out of it so i couldn’t close it.

i told my roommate (thats kinda wierd, i have a roommate) to pull in his car so that I could close his garage. it was like 12 midnight, not an unreasonable request…  he tells me he’s gonna do it, and yet, an hour later (1 o’clock for those of you not keeping track) his car is still pokin out of the garage and the door still isn’t shut.

i go downstairs to see what the fuh, and he tells me he’s leaving, so i told him to either leave quick or pull his car in or he’s gonna hafta buy new whatever was stolen. he gets all huffy and says ‘fine, i’ll pay for whatever gets stolen’ and i leave, somewhat satisfied. about a half an hour later, my girlfriend comes in and tells me that he (the roommate) just walked in on some drunk guy tryin to steal my girlies bike!  he feels pretty bad about it, but i have to be sure this guy isn’t passed out in the back yard or something, so i go back there, and while i’m playing vigilante through the neighborhood, the wind catches the front door (mostly glass) and slams it shut, breaking the window.

so…    recap…

test today
issues with roommate
attempted burglary
busted front door

couldnt sleep AT ALL

poopy huh  =(      dont you just love blogs?!?     long stories with no point at all!     =D

dang… work sucks

so yeah…   just worked like 16 hours today. yeah sure that may not be a lot for you, mr. workaholic no life mutha, but for me…  dang.   although it really didnt feel like a 16 hour day. i worked like 5 hours at one job, then worked another 11 hours at my other job, but its only barely starting to catch up with me, it really only feels like i’ve worked a full eight hours today, but oh well, i guess thats why i’m rambling. sleep deprivation an all.

put v1.2 of the forum up the other day, check it out with the link to the right. i think its tough as nails, but then again i’m a closeted geek. but hey, at least im not okay with it. *wink*

i started my two other classes yesterday as well, finally i feel like im gonna actually be learning something new in my physics class instead of just sitting there, twiddling my thumbs. i’m pretty excited about it. then i’m gonna graduate SLCC and go on to the University of Utah in the fall (hopefully).

alrighty then…   tired… goin to bed. night ya’ll.

terragen and airsoft

so i downloaded terragen today. yeah…    it’s pretty dope. i made a new page for the images i create with terragen that can be seen here: http://www.iohelix.net/photos/thumbnails.php?album=14 i really like how the clouds and water looks in terragen, it’s a lot better than in bryce, although bryce definitely is the one for creating 3d shapes and images.   i’m already thinkin of ways that i can incorporate some nice halo effects into terragen using halosim.

— insert change of topic here —

my friend told me yesterday that he would buy an airsoft gun if i paid him back. so now we can go to the tac4 thingy, cept the dumb honky forgot that he had to work on saturday =(  so, we are goin to order a gun for me and go the next time they have a tactical training course. kinda bummed, but oh well. at least i get a gun on ‘credit’ out of the deal.  =)

have a great day yall, check out the terragen pics!  expect more very soon, because, well, its all about the new toys. =)

movin

so…   I’m finally movin out of my parents house this weekend.

movin in with the little girlie-friend-thing-lady… its cool tho. I’m pretty excited about it, I guess its about time i settled down and stuff, I mean, two of my friends are getin married within the year, i guess I can move in with my girlfriend. so…  yeah   its funny, i think of a ton of things id like to write on this thing, but then while I’m here, its like *poof*… gone.

so have a good night and dream about someone you love, or me   ;)

So this is a blog…. hmmm.

Well, I guess if I’m gonna  be a real ‘webmaster/technogeek’ type person, I’m gonna hafta get a blog thingy so that I dont look like I dont know what I’m doing (looks around to see if anybody is reading this).  So yeah, thats it!
