All the bullshit is over and done with, I think. Hi Spring Break. What's up? Long time no see. You look good! I know I look like shit. I've had a hard week with little sleep. Want to come to the Chris Rock show Saturday? Yeah, I know we don't have an extra ticket...but I thought we could sneak you in. Sound good? And we can hang out next week too. Thing is, you have to be gone by March 28th. Ok? Cool. You're such a laid back guy, Spring Break. You just go around and party all year long huh? Sounds like a good life. Glad to have you back, spring break. Maybe now that you're here, you can give me some insight regarding what to do with this website.

I just want to say this: hay guyz, i'm using teh information super highway to chat with friends, browse the world wide web, and learn cool new things. i am on the internet!!!11one
(Stuff like that makes me laugh. Hohoho~)

So now the day is over. I got back my third Computer Science lab, and it's more along the lines of what I expect from myself. 93. I feel pretty good now.

It's midnight. I just woke up about 30 minutes ago. My body just friggin' shut down earlier this afternoon, while I was here at the computer studying. I've been listening to the Stone Temple Pilots greatest hits and it's very satisfying. It would be cool if Velvet Revolver turned out to be a good band.

8:45pm - Beat R-Type Final for the first time.

Why I can't do a lick of computer science work:

I haven't slept yet, and I dare not tell you how far along I am. This history paper shit makes me want to bounce.

Added links to the menu to toggle the theme. This will work in current versions of most browsers, INCLUDING Internet Explorer. However, it requires you to accept a cookie for the settings to stay. The inverse style is still quite incomplete, as I've been using it to test stuff. A cool thing is that using the "content" feature of CSS2, I can generate actual webpage content from the css file. If you're using a browser OTHER THAN Internet Explorer, notice that that all links have brackets surrounding them in the inverse theme. Even the ones that the user isn't supposed to see, and therein lies the problem. I should be working right now. It seems SO much easier to do cool stuff with this page when I have a terrible deadline to meet. Such is life. I just hope I can get out of this habit before I become a real adult.

--The Fire In Which You Burn--
Yesterday was The Ides of March. I figured out who dies: it's me. This whole week is going to be awful.

New Desktop Screenshot:

Update (11:05pm): I'm really starting to lose it...this is dreadful. WHOA I JUST ADDED ITALICS AND EMACS WENT INTO ITALICS FOR THE TEXT THAT I PUT THE ITALICS TAG AROUND HOLY SHIT!!!!!1!!one
Ahem. Okay. Now that that's over, I really like emacs. It's probably because it's the only linux editor I'm familiar with, but it's just good. People say they like vi better...but right now I'm an emacs fan. Also, I think I'm going to stick with Fedora. I did a fresh install and things seem to be smoother. <3 Linux. Hate classes. Spring Break will be good not necessarily because good things will happen, but I'll have all this FUCKING work out of the way. Oh my Lord, it's too much to do. Oh Lordy.

FYI: I only code the site by hand. I never the portion of Dreamweaver that is a WYSIWYG editor. Those are for the weak.

Linux To-do List:
Get Samba up and running across the network
Get the NTFS partition mounted and readable from Linux
Get the Starterbar desklet for gDesklets working
I'm not sure what else yet, but there will surely be something.
**Thought of something to add, not Linux related but still needed: an archive page ready to launch once April rolls around. This thing is getting sort of long.

I THINK NINE PAGES IS JUST A BIT FUCKING MUCH FOR THIS SHIT. AND A DUE DATE ONE WEEK FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT DATE IS JUST A WEE BIT SHORT.

My thanks goes to Useff, for pointing out that today is the Ides of March. I suggested to him that we kill Little Caesar because of this. Fedora is quite frankly getting on my nerves. I don't like it. Too much shit I don't want or need, and not enough of the shit that I do need. I'm going to try Debian again, some time after my ass heals from the pounding it will surely endure this week in classes: it's the last week of school before spring break, and I have a lot of important things all throughout the next five days. My problem with the big 'D' last time was that X would not start, probably because of my video card. I tried compiling a new kernel, but something went wrong. I got frustrated and installed Fedora because it was easy and rather fast. I think I'm a little bit wiser now, when it comes to Linux. So I'm going to give it another shot. And if Debian doesn't work, there are other distros that might give more favorable results. As for this website, I have some interesting things planned...but I'll probably forget.

Update: I don't remember what I meant to put here, but I wish there was more time in a day. Or that I had the power of temporal distortion. There's never enough time to accomplish everything that I would do. In fact, there's barely enough time to do everything that is required of me. Sleep is a bandit.

I'm not a genius, I just think a lot.

Oh, what a long strange trip it's been...these last few days, fighting various boot loaders and kernels...but I'm running Fedora alongside Windows XP now. !

Count that for me?
(1,2, 1234. 1,2, 1234.)
Thanks.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN BY POOJA.
hi guyz i just sharted and pooja is over. i accidently sharted on her :-\

place is Closed
can't you...

Update: Played with the stylesheet some more. If you use a browser other than Internet Explorer, you should see that the menu is fixed to the right side of the page. ie, it stays on the screen when you scroll.

Linux?

I got an absolutely terrible grade on my most recent Computer Science lab as a result of bad scripting, and some bug that screwed up my carriage returns...I got some points refunded after talking to the professor, but it still isn't close to a "good" grade. I deserved a 100! >:O. So I'm going to find a good Linux distro for folks like me: that is, folks who haven't installed Linux before. O, I am slain!

Hi Pooja!
Remember that history paper I was talking about a few days ago? The one where I didn't cite anything? I got it back today. I got a B+. Sometimes I feel like if I put forth even the smallest amount of effort, I do fairly well. Why am I so blessed? Who's looking out for me?

*Update: If you're using Mozilla or Mozilla Firebird, note that you can change the theme for my "home" page (that is, this one that you're on right now) by clicking that little button in the lower left hand corner of your browser screen. This is only a test, but hopefully it will blossom into something cool...like in the near future...like when I gain some creative/artistic muscle...like which is something that I lack.

Also, first feature coming soon: Me as a Superhero

Oh shit, I'm racing time and fighting sickness. I feel like a hero.

*Update: Homework finished, and it's good.

I am the bullet, you are the bullseye...

Happy March. Note the border around the image of Mr. Dio down there. Also note that when you put the mouse over said image, the border becomes dotted. If you use Internet Explorer you won't see this though. Use Mozilla...it's tons better. Personally, I use Mozilla Firefox[bird(Phoenix)]. ...That's all.

Hey, we won't be seeing February 29th for another four years. Lets make the best of it... by sleeping late, and doing precisely the same thing we do any other day. Happy Leap-Year-Day. If your at odds with yourself, become friendly with you again. Shake your own hand. No seriously, try it. It's weird isn't it? Is someone watching? They probably think you're crazy~

Cascading Style Sheets are teh kool. I have a headache.

I'm feeling negative...fuck it.

Murder murder, a ripe blood stain,
Pull the fucking trigger 'cause I'm sick of it all.
Murder murder, a ripe fucking hate,
Pull the fucking trigger 'cause I'm sick of it all.

Morning Update: Ronnie James Dio.

Happy Friday. R-Type Final. This game makes me curse. A lot. Especially the "s-word" (no, I am not referring to stove). But it's amazing, and $30. Shit!!!

I got an A on my first Western Civilization response paper. The second one however, will be a different story. I forgot to cite... anything. So I'm F'ed. D'oh!

Happy Birthday Pooja
When I listen to funky soul like James Brown, I feel like a badass. I'm sure other people do too. There's still not enough time in a day, especially with me wasting so much of it sleeping. I doubt methamphetamines are the answer, but sometimes they seem so attractive. I'm learning some cool stuff: CSS is the shit. Maybe I'll have something interesting and *gasp* artful to show here soon, but for now this is all.

Update: I just got Dreamweaver MX 2004, and it's amazing so far. I've just barely cracked the surface - I'm just using it to edit text. I originally wanted the website's code to be all hand written, and I'm going to try to keep it that way, so don't hate me for this. After all, Dreamweaver can just be used as a html editor.
