Another few day have come and gone and not a peep out of me. I guess I just haven’t had anything to say. I have been futzing with some of the things NewsPro can do. I now have it set up so that my old Geocities page is a mirror of this page. I really can’t recommend NewsPro enough. If you have the patience to set it up and get it running the way you want. My server move went off without a hitch. Not much has been going on.

I had a chat with one of my “fans” again. I guess I have to get used to the fact I have “fans”. I still find it hard to believe. It’s neat talking with them.

I am working on a FAQ. I guess it could maybe explain the nature of the site to first time visitors. I of course am throwing in my own particular brand of humor. So will see if it’s helpful. So this would be a good time to throw questions my way. Well I got to get back to work.

Well I was really bored and I decided to head over to LAN Planet. You know that really cool place in Rockford where you can play computer games. I was just in one of those moods.

So I tried WWII Online. This is a massive multiplayer online kind of game. Now I really digged the movie Saving Private Ryan, so I was really hoping the game wouldn’t suck bad. And I heard about all the problems that the game had when It came out. But after playing it for less than thirty minutes, I have to say it isn’t something I would pay to play. It took more time to load than I played.

I also played around a little with the expansion to Diablo II. Nice addition to an already good game. If you like RPG’s. If you like hack and slash RPG’s.

I want to try some Counter Strike, but I’m afraid of the kids here. They will kick my ass. Maybe a little Soldier Of Fortune. I not sure what next. I was kinda looking forward to playing EverQuest. But it turns out they don’t have it anymore. I also want to try the On-Line game Anarchy On-Line. I’ve heard it’s a Futuristic EverQuest. More later.

Well it finally happened. My hard drive took a shit on me. I’m a little shocked by it. Because this really sucks. All of my important stuff is gone. What a pain. Now I’m having problems getting up and running again. My little 2 gig hard drive is the one that crashed. My 20 gig is still good. But I can’t get it to let my install Windows 98 on it. So I don’t know what to do. But give enough time I will figure it out. I just need a break or I’m going to destroy the computer in a fit of rage.

Well my home pc is still down. I had two hard drives. One was two gigs and came with the computer when I bought it back in 97. The other hard drive is about a year old. But the twenty gig is one of those 7200 rpm drives. Which my ancient mother doesn’t support. At least I think. I have tried to make the twenty gig drive go and all I get is it being recognizes as around eight gigs. Then I get a windows error once I’ve installed Windows 98. So I don’t know.

This whole episode does give me motivation to save up for a new computer. A nice brand spanking new 1GHz would be nice.

Anyone see the Robocop specials on the Sci-Fi channel? I watched the first two parts that were broadcast Monday and Tuesday. This tv version is more on par with the first movie. This is what the second and third movie should have been. If you dig the first movie, then it’s worth checking out.

I also went and saw the Final Fantasy movie. This is kind of based on a series of japanese console RPG’s. It’s a great step forward in computer animation. I liked the movie. It had an Aliens feel to it. To me though it’s more along the lines of japanese manga/anime. Which isn’t a bad thing. Worth checking out if your into that kind of Sci-Fi.

Well it’s been slow going since the computer crashed at home. I got to say that has really bummed me out. I should mention yesterday was Izer’s boys birthday. The little shit is one year old know. Tomorrow is the big birthday party. That will be fun.

So I went and picked up this big ass wagon for the kid. The kind the kids sit in all relaxed and you have to pull them. I brought it to work thinking I could put it together here at work. Right. I don’t have any tools. It couldn’t be simple. The company does have a website. Step 2 is what their called. I’m going to wait and have Troy help me put the thing together.

Anyone see Jurassic Park 3 yet? I was wondering if it’s worth seeing. I hope to see it this weekend sometime. Well that’s it for now.

Last time I asked if anyone had seen the new movie Jurssic Park 3. Before I say what I thought of the movie let me pass this along from Sherry the webmistress of Life Of A Crackwhore:

i was just reading your site and saw that u wanted an opinion on Jurassic Park 3. i went and saw it this weekend and i thought it was awesome. alot of action and a few new dinasours to add to the mix. it is definately worth seeing if u liked the past 2 movies.

Here is what I think. The movie sucked! Before anyone takes this as I’m trying to throw mud in her eye let me explain. I really liked the first movie. Read the book and everything. I read the second book when it came out. The book is great. The second movie sucked. The reason? Well I guess it didn’t follow the second book as closely as the first movie did the first book.

I just feel the third movie was a cheap attempt to cash in on the whole dinosaur craze started by the first movie. A kid goes parasailing over Jurassic Park? Jeez they could have come up with a better plot device than that. To me the movie just made no sense. What do the rest of you think? Am I way off?

So from two until five the hotels phone line are going to be down. I’m a little bummed by this. On one hand there will be no outside call coming in. Yeah! But then no internet for me. Which is bad. I have realized I’m a net junky. Really the net has turned into a form of addiction.

I have been having a cool e-mail conversation with Pat the gentleman that runs the Sobo Alumni website. I have been able to talk about stuff like perl and cgi scripts. It’s refreshing to be able to chat with someone about this stuff.

Well other than that it’s been slow. Note to self, e-mail Ross.
