November 30th last time
holy shit...i looked closer at the stats...i got one visitor from the
UK! and one visitor from the UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (.AE)...damn that
rocks.
November 30th more
checked out the counter place
and found out that i have had a visit from penn. and indiana in the last
week, what's even better is a got a referral from somewhere other than
my own site, johnny's site or efren's site...dope! it turns out that one
of the referrals was from a mail i sent to someone at indiana U and the
other was from a guestbook that i signed and left my website address to...cool.
even better someone was viewing my page with IE 5.0...the beta version
of course. that's all

First update in a while...
Thanksgiving was cool: mom, sister and dog came up. I had a total of 16
hours of work and one 10 page essay to do over the four day break, but
all is done now.
I deleted a few mp3s that I never listen to. my mp3 list is really turning
out nicely...finally, I might put it up today for all to see the newly
polished version...
I got the new case and power supply for my computer...it doesn't have as
many power cords as I thought it might for a midtower, but it's a new power
supply and I don't have the mega fan plugged into it anymore, just the
cpu fan and the smaller fan for the case...dusted motherboard, hard drives,
etc. seems to be working well.
mom's computer is seriously jacked...i think it's the hard drive, but it
could be the motherboard...too many symptoms to list here, but the major
weird thing was when i copied a 1.4 meg file to the floppy drive it did
it in 2 seconds...way too fast for a floppy drive...when i would check
if it indeed copy the file it did show up on the disk, but if I were to
try and execute the 1.4 meg program, it wouldn't work. obviously then,
the file wasn't really copied over. I formatted the hard drive on my system,
through windows, rather than DOS, and it took about 3 seconds....seems
a bit fast for a 2 gig drive, so i have my doubts about whether that hard
drive is working right or not...any ideas?
my 'all' mp3 list is ricockulous...waaaay too big now...also added my personal
ratings to the list, check it out.
November 23rd
got an extra 8 hours a week for the rest of the quarter at work...someone
quit so now i work 8 hours on the weekend... 10am-2pm, now i have to wake
up early :(
had a quiz today in poli sci 4...i didn't even know we had it, but i still
did okay...it's a small part of our grade, too bad.
updating my mp3 list like crazy...it'll be up and running in no time...it's
uploaded, but doesn't print out well and there are plenty of little things
i need to fix up.
not going home for thanksgiving in case you didn't know.
that's all for now.
November 23rd
got one vote for the dots...and that works for me so the choice has been
made.
changed my custom cd list big time...now it is organized and has all my
custom cds thusfar...except my Kosmos CDs...two CDs with stuff only from
www.kosmic.org,
which has lots of techno, ambient, electronic etc. mp3s for free.
the latest b-boys live mp3 is out - 3 mc and 1 dj, go here
to get it
saw waterboy today...nothing exceptional, it was decent, but not as good
as happy gilmore.
i have a few additions to my mp3 list, but I'll wait to unveil those later...they
took awhile, and i'm not anywhere near finished with them, but the list
will be very informative after the changes
49ers need to stop scripting their first 15 plays...it doesn't help and
only makes them more predictable...they won, but should have down better.
got to see oakland play, too bad they had to play the most dominate team
I've seen since the 49ers with sanders, waters, floyd, davis and others.
I had a visitor from austrailia the other day...yippee...they got my website
address from my icq information. i'm almost at 1000 hits, not too shabby,
but my prof info page did better in 1/6th the time...it's dead now because
i'm too lazy to worry about updating it.
November 22nd
-Messing with the netscape composer
tools...nothing that great.
-nothing too great to report...netscape is really a much
better company than microsoft...i wish microsoft would just lay off trying
to be good at everything...shit make a decent OS first. oh well that'll
never happen. netscape.com gets more hits than microsoft...ha ha! goto
mirabilis.com
for the full breakdown of the top ten...icq is the number one download
etc.
-what do you like more? the dashes at the beginning
or these dots? mail
me or something
-made custom cd number five...it's pretty bumping, i still crash EVERYTIME
i get disconnected from the internet...as a result i have to disconnect
before the two hour limit...it sucks.
-it's 5:20am i need to sleep...i'll update my custom cd list soon enough.
November 21st
-JOINED A FANTASY HOCKEY LEAGUE...I'LL
SUCK,BUT IT'LL BE SOMETHING TO DO BESIDES THIS WEBPAGE.
-I'm going to watch Waterboy today...I'm sure it'll rock.
-speaking of rock...the 49ers are going to rock New Orleans...I have
some inside information - and they are going to win...
that's about all.
November 17th
I've gotten one vote to make my font size bigger...but i know that some
of you are still stuck with 640x480, not 800x600 or higher, and I really
do feel for you, but since there is no font size 11, only 10 and 12, I
have to go with 12...you'll deal...and not being able to see is more of
a pain than seeing type that is too big.
fucking 49ers! damn them...I really wish they would get their act together
got the new winamp...it's got problems...and the CD database feature is
nice, but glitchy for me...so i'll wait for the next version. 2.04 may
be the best program EVER.
if anyone has a program that will take my mp3 list and put it onto html
format nicely i will be forever indebted...PLEASE HELP!
nevermind, i just fixed it...i'll just have it be a text file...go here
for my mp3 list in text format columns all nice and everything!!!
i plan on (winter break) rating my songs on a 1-20 scale and tha'll make
my mp3 list look more buff, and it'll be something to do...hopefully i
don't forget to bring my mp3list with me because i won't bring my computer
- so i won't be updating my webpage either...
i did the sleep experiment today...last time it was okay...i slept for
two hours and she woke me up 5 times to ask what i was thinking etc...this
time in the first twenty minutes she woke me up and after that not at all...she
said i didn't get enough REM, so i'll have to do it over again...wonder
if i'll get paid for it ... probably not.
any suggestions on the layout of the page? any topics you want me to debate
about, or write an editorial on? mail
me
November 13th
computer crashed bad the other day when i put a cd in and disconnected
from the internet at the same time...I've had bad crashes before when i
exit my dial up connection, but i don't know if that has anything to do
with the power supply...shit, again!
i'm not doing the nfl predictions anymore - i lost more than one last week,
so like i said i'm quiting that prediction stuff.
i will say that the 49ers will win, minnesota will win, gb will win, oakland
will win, tampa bay will lose, and that's all i care about.
that's all...i do the sleep experiment tomorrow - $25 for me.
November 11th
so last night (technically early this morning) after i updated my webpage
and bragged that my computer hadn't crashed all day...it crashed! it crashed
when i tried to open my cd-rom nonetheless. why did it do that? so i restart
my computer...it doesn't recognize my primary cd-rom or my primary hard
drive! well isn't that nifty..this problem again...I guess I do need a
new motherboard, right? Turn off computer (which solved the problem last
time this happened) waited a minute...and turned computer back on...stil
nothing! Oh damn, now this is a major crash...i'm in deep crap...the computer
show isn't for another 2 weeks so i'd have to go without my computer for
two weeks...hoping that the motherboard that i ask Phil to get for me will
solve my problems. I go to bed and try to sleep...I start thinking about
all the things (not people) I love...my headphones, my cds, my cd
player, my monitor (very consistent in its performance...not the best,
just consistent)...my case (I've had it since the beginning of my computer
career...well wait, I don't really love it...it's kinda old, it needs more
space...i don't even have room for an extra floppy drive...the power supply
is really old and with all the drives and fans i have running on it...wait
a second why are my primary hard drive and primary cd-rom messing up? they
are on different ide connectors......i could understand if both cd-roms
or both hard drives didn't work...they are on the same ide connectors...weird...wait...lemme
think...the primary hard drive and primary cd-rom are on the same power
line, just spliced with one of those power things that turns one into two...CONNECTION!...so
i've come to the conclusion that it's been my power supply this whole time...that's
why the cd-rom light wouldn't go on when the computer had trouble recognizing
the master hard drive and cd-rom drive...duh!!! so my problem should be
solved by getting a bigger more buff power supply...my fans are quite a
drag on the power...i have two huge ones, not to mention the four drives
and motherboard I have running all on the same power supply...now for about
six years. problem solved....hopefully!
November 11th
my computer hasn't crashed all day...most people that visit my page have
java enabled, use netscape 4.x, have 800X600 or 1024X768 and run on windows
95. very usefull for the design of my webpage...from now on i'll use the
text at 10 point font and in bold maybe that way it'll be easy to view...as
for the dots that separate my thoughts...they always seem too big...on
my computer they are really small, but on vern's and other people's they
are big and ugly...sorry.
my best friend phil is working on a page so soon enough it'll be linked
to.
i got paid today, but i didn't pick up the check the lady wasn't around,
no matter...
uh, i went into the 'sleep lab' today and took my 1 hour nap...they liked
my brain waves so i'm coming in three more times for two hours each and
i'll get paid $25 each time ...75 bucks for sleeping a total of 6 hours
with electrodes monitoring my brain waves...sounds nice to me.
i have RSVP - class planning - tomorrow early...gotta go to bed.
November 8th
the beastie boys officially are the best band of all time...they make the
best music that will ever be made and everyone pales in comparison
to their genius. they may not have anything quite as great stairway to
heaven, but they span so many different style of music and rock em all.
they just are the bomb.

i'm almost out of last place in the fantasty football
league.
midterm today wasn't too hot...quiz in latin was a breeze, but who cares
about that.
updated my cd list...i now have
146 CDs, give or take a few and then i have the custom cds too.
changed the directory structure a little...doing it slowly, but surely.
updated my custom cd list almost caught
up with where i actually am...have about 12 more cds to enter...
made a list of my top 15 CDs of all time...at the bottom of my favorites
page
mdae a list of quotes...all from Rage
Against The Machine...I wouldn't even bother with beastie boys...too many
and depends a lot on the delivery... which is always top notch. if you
have never heard their lyrics do yourself a favor and read my compilation...it's
awesome and comes with my slant/interpretation on a few of them...check
it out these guys are the 90s version of alan ginsburg...almost.
November 6th
i added meta tags to the page not too long ago...don't think it'll actually
help, but worth a shot.
nothing to say.
November 4th
got the new cd writer...it worked fine for the first day, at night however
it fucked up three times...what a drag...afterwards though it started to
work...and it's working fine now.
last night my computer froze big time and when i rebooted it didn't recognize
my primary cd-rom or my primary hard drive...my motherboard must be dying.
I turned off the computer and it still didn't see either...I turned off
again, waited longer and then it recognized both...
while i was writing this my computer froze big time again FUCK
davis won, prop 5 and 10 passed - good.
my davis connection sucks...it's been busy and giving me problems...basically
my computer is shitty right now.
my pay check last week or whenever sucked
my midterm today was kinda lame...i was 3 min. late too cuz i forgot my
bluebook.
another midterm friday.
1.5 gigs of mp3s and 130+ cds isn't making me a better man.
neither is this lame webpage.
maybe i'll turn mormon.
most people visit my site between 8-9 pm
