nothing here yet. more later today. once i get home from my amazing! excursion! to borders. [06.05.01@03:33]
some things have been fixed here. you'll probably not see them, but, yeah. they happened. then theres the obvious changes. i've changed the colours around because frankly i got sick of the brightness. i've also changed my bio a few times, because i do that whenever i can. i've finished two books since i last updated, and i'm quickly running out of stuff to read. but, when i'm not reading, or simply vegetating in #jedi-knight, i'll be playing with my two current projects.
first up is getting my fonts section together. this one is just about worked out in my head. i havent completely got it working there, but its in the process of getting there^tm. second project is my playlist. i'm in the process right now of getting it to be a nice big cascading list of every cd i have sitting on my d drive o'er there. but. yeah. thats whats going on.

i had this dream yesterday. i say yesterday and not 'last night' or summat because it was yesterday. some time between around 0600 and 1600. i felt the urge to explain it to ping, cause iirc, he was in it. following is an icq log of what occured.
[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]
<inpheaux> must.. find.. creative way.. to..make fun of.. people out of the country..
<ping> muwuh
<inpheaux> i had a dream that was trying to tell me how. it involved putting a big sign over my computer that said "NOW ENTERING ENGLAND" and it started raining 'n shit. and then i posted about how IT IS SO LOVELY HERE IN ENGLAND BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE I AM. ARENT I SO INTERESTING AND COOL BECAUSE I TRAVEL THE WORLD! ARENT I WONDERFUL!? ISNT IT FUN TO NOT SPEND YOUR LIFE AT HOME BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE MONEY TO SPEND?! I HAVE TO GO DO MORE INTERESTING THINGS NOW, WHICH ARE SO MUCH MORE INTERESTINGER THAN ALL OF YOU.
<inpheaux> then i woke up because k'vn called me.
<ping> damned k'vn!!! that's a leat dream
<inpheaux> idunno. it was kinda funky. cause the longer i posted about it, the more like england it became. and i vaguely remember a bit that involved you and pat. and more rain. and rain that only seemed to bother me, because it only seemed to fall on me. well. me and a few cars. and the door to the car wouldnt close all the way. mm! and there was a bookstore! and a chocolate milk super-soaker fight. against evil aliens. man, my dreams own.
<ping> dammit, you get to have leat dreams while i get to have dreams about getting 0wned and having linux forced onto my machine by tentacles.
<inpheaux> you just have to drink lots of caffinated substances, and fall asleep reading discworld novels.
<inpheaux> i think the aliens were trying to steal my magical book about europe. i know it was a book about europe because thats what it said on the cover "A BOOK ABOUT EUROPE". and. damnit. i still dont get why the aliens were there. something about a garbage disposal, and a cabbage equivelant of t-1000-ish liquid metal. except they kept turning into giant plant-y leathery pods of d3th, like from that episode of space ghost.
<ping> ym:yurp
<inpheaux> i think the way i killed them was by beating them over the head with the air-chaimber of the super soaker 100. the big ball part of stupidly thick plastic. and that made them stupid. so they started drinking the giant quarts of chocolate milk i had sitting around. and that killed them. i think they were lactose intolerant aliens.
<ping> it'd be like poison to them!!1!!1
<inpheaux> EXACTLY!1!1! but i still dont completely get why. this is what happens to my head when i go for nearly a month without really having to think, and then start sleeping for like 14 hrs daily.
[END TRANSMISSION]
yeah. as i said. my dreams 0wn. [06.17.01@02:48]
time again for another transcript.

i don't feel well.
i feel like i've been moderately sick for months.
my back is getting worse. guess i can't blame it on ib.
my head still isnt quite right again either. something about me having too much to do, when i really just want to sleep all day or spend the day reading.
my priorities are rather nicely screwed aswell.
i've been working nearly nonstop for the past two days to get jedi-outcast.com launched and running, i never really understood how much work it was. however, it appears its paying off.
the kind of exposure we're getting is frightening. i've never really believed in advertising of any kind. advertising yourself, or advertising for other people. it shapes the kind of userbase you have. with advertising, you get other peoples users. you dont always get people who want to be at your site because they want to be at your site, you get people who just wandered in. then again, at the same time, you can reach people you'd never expect to. in our second day of being public, we got not one but *two* hits from lucasfilm. LUCASFILM! at first i was happy that people like speak had signed up for the forums, but then we get two hits from LUCASFILM!! i was completely ecstatic. i still barely believe it. but alas. they may or may not be coming back.
this whole fame thing is powerful. its disturbing to realize just how many people are coming in. the stream is huge. like. really huge. and its not constant, its *GROWING*. i just hope we dont out-grow what we have now. i want to survive for as long as possible having jedi-outcast.com hosted on skizzers. i figure we'll need to move when the game launches. but then we'll run into the same problem that everyone else runs into. bandwidth is expensive.
but thats all nearly a year away. [06.22.01@04:25]
yesterday morning i was bitching about how i feel like crap and want to spend all day in bed.
so i did.
in other news, someone *please* tell me why the green day song "warning" makes my head explode? it sounds too damn familiar for its own good. if you can explain to me why it makes my head hurt, you may just get a cookie.
in further news, i'm going to attempt to get a gba today. and a new fan for my processor. cause, uh, thats apparently what makes my comp run loud, stupidly cheap proc fan. as previously expected, i'll be getting the l33t castlevania game with it, and probably a nice light, cause, uh. yeah. its needed. it'll give me something to do on the plane next week. oh. hrm. it appears i didnt mention that here, either. i'm heading up to lowell next week for the uml freshman orientation. theres so much dead time there its hilarious. i have 16 hrs of stuff to do in 72 hrs. all i have to do in the entire first day is to check in to one of the dorms so i have somewhere to sleep. so far i know andy will be around, so i'll get to meet andy, and possibly some assorted ark-ians. we'll figure out something to do for sure. even if its just going to the boston childrens museum to take stupid pictures.
