Well after a few days of no banners I feel a little happy and maybe a little sad now that it’s back. Happy because my whole layout was thrown out of whack without that damned banner. Sad because my plans of offering ad space on the website has come to and end. That’s a joke.

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.

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.

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.

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.
