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.

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 must of jinxed myself because I didn’t update the last two days. Most of the reason was due to issues with my pc at home and my isp. My pc’s hard drive decided to start running hot. Really hot. So that kept me from doing anything Sunday. Monday I had different problems. My cd burner was acting funky. So once again I shut down my system in anger. I would have snuck one in late yesterday but I had some connection problems with my isp. My isp problem has continued into the night. I keep getting disconnected. It’s been behaving the last couple of hours.

Has anyone heard about the new Star Trek show that’s coming out in the fall? Well there is going to be a new show. It’s called simply Enterprise. And it takes place before Kirk’s time. I think it sounds like a good idea. But it depends on what happens. If you pick up the new TV Guide you can read about it. TV Guide also has a picture of the new ship. The ship looks to high tech to be before Kirk. That’s my inner fanboy talking. For more info on the new trek show try Trek Today or Section 31. Both of these sites cover trek and let you know about all of the up to date news and rumors.

Today is my Brother’s birthday. So even though me and the guy don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things. And even if we have had some disagreement in recent times. Like the time I said I didn’t consider him my brother. Well that’s not true. He’s my brother. And I love the guy. Now the chances of him seeing this are nil to none. But it’s the thought that counts, right? Happy b-day Brother.

Well how’s everyone been? It’s been a little slow around here. Now that I’m done futzing with how the website works. Any of you getting used to me updating on a daily basis? I have updated every day since the 25th of June. Now that has to be a record for me. I have to admit with use of NewsPro it has become easier to update. But I feel that maybe sometimes I’m posting something just because it’s so easy now.

So once again I’m going to call out to my viewers. How about a little interaction? At least how’s about you guy’s send me along some cool links you’ve found? Just a thought. Or maybe tell me why it is you come back more than once. Or what you think when you stumble in on the place from the outside. Like you people I get from I Should Be Working or Web WWWeirdness. So if you have the time drop me a line.

I got an e-mail from my host and they wanted to tell me that I was moving servers. So I figured I would pass it on to you guys.

In order to continue to provide quality service, we are migrating your account from its current home on server2.virtualave.net to server9.virtualave.net. DNS records will be updated to make this change mostly transparent, but the final transfer of data from the current server requires a brief outage of approximately 4 hours, beginning Thursday, July 12th, 2001 at 9:00 am PDT (16:00 UTC); you will not be able to make updates to your Web site during this time, though users will still be able to view your pages.

I know it says “users will still be able to view your pages”. But just in case you have been warned. I will be making a back up of all my data the day before. Again just in case. I read enough of other sites having horror stories about moving servers. So everyone cross their fingers.

Here are two really cool links from SETI that talks about the movies Independence Day and Contact that I missed. Very cool reads. Both of these stories hawk SETI stuff. I know they need funding but it seems like a tacky way of doing it.
