Well, I survived yesterday without another life-threatening incident. Although my day went rather well, my night totally sucked. Luckily, in the last few minutes of the night, I found something to totally cheer me up and made my night better. It’s really amazing how blatent murder can make you happy sometimes!

Ok, is this something that’s going to follow me around all day? I have the weekend off, and it’s supposed to be really nice and warm out, so I have lots of things I want to get done outside and stuff. So, I wake up this morning, and decide that I’m going to go grab a quick breakfast at McDonalds. Not the best breakfast, but then again, I rarely eat breakfast. So, I hop in the shower, get dressed, and head down there.

This is where the omen part starts.

As soon as I pull in, I am followed by a Fire Command car with the lights blaring and 2 fire trucks, both wailing away. “Hmmm,” I thought, “these guys must be hungry too.” So I pull up to the drive through and low and behold all of the employees are starting outside. So much for the hungry fireman theory. No, as it turns out McDonalds is actually on fire or something like that.

Everything turned out ok as I just went across the street to Burger King for some french toast sticks, but should is this some sort of bad omen that I should be worried about? Am I now cursed with bad Karma for the rest of the day? Well, I’ll post later on tonight to let you know how my day went. If you don’t hear from me, I’m most likely in the hospital in traction or something, so you’ll know the bad Karma was real.

But before I go and buy the farm, for all of you faithful Firefox users out there (should be all of you dammit!!), check out this really great util for it!

I’ve been playing a lot of Unreal Tournemanet 2004 the past 2 days, and I have to say that it is one hell of a game. Not only is it a great game in and of itself, but it also includes all of the content from UT2K3, which mean essentially you’re getting 2 games in one. Always a great deal.

There’s a new mode in 2K4 called “onslaught” that has been all the hype. To be perfectaly honest, I could never understand the concept. Not liking to feel dumb, I did some reading yesterday on how exactly to play this mode and what it’s underlying principles were. Once that I felt I had a decent grasp on the game, I loaded it up and played a little to see if I really understood it. After playing 2 rounds, I walked away with a farily solid impression of it…

ONSLAUGHT IS THE SHIT!!!!!

*ahem* Sorry about that. Needless to say, I have almost exclusively been playing in onslaught mode, rather than the normal Deathmatch I always play in. That alone, for those who know me, speaks volumes.

Just to be a g33k I decided to create a photo blog. I got the idea about starting one late last night, but it was too late to do anything about it. So, I decided to take my PPC (Pocket PC to the anti-g33k) to work and take a few pics to toy with the idea. I looked around for some code that would do what I wanted it to do, but in the end the best solution I found was Buzznet. Not only is it a free service and have all the features I want, because it’s mostly made for cell phones, I can automatically update the Photo Blog via 1 simple email. So that means I can take the pics on the PPC, write the email on the PPC, and set it up so when I get home, I just connect it to my PC and viola!! It automatically send the email off and the blog is updated. If only it was that easy to do that with Movabletype!

Anyway, you can access the Photo Blog by click on the picture at the right. That’s a feed from my site and it will always show my latest pic. Just click on it to read my Photo Blog entry and browse past pics.

See me later!

I got a new idea tonight. Of course, I got this idea about 15 minutes ago and it’s too late to do anything about it because I have to be at work in about 6 hours, but I figured I’d post about it anyway.

What I think I’m going to do is start a nice little Phtot Blog, using my Pocket PC’s built in camera. I took a quick pic tonight and shrunk it down and I think it came out pretty good. All I need to do now is figure out how I want this to work and then do some coding. Maybe tomorrow night…

Tripping The Rift Rocks!!
