OK, Facebook has this interesting feature whereby they (after getting the proper information) log into your email, and find out who of your contacts are already part of Facebook. Great, right? Well, after that, they ALSO offer to notify the REST of your contacts (the one’s who arn’t part of Facebook already). And it defaults to them all being messaged. Well, needless to say, one miss-click, and my ENTIRE FREAKIN’ CONTACT LIST (which is large, to say the least) got spammed with my Facebook invite. So, Facebook, I hate you. I hate you like George Bush Jr. hates the SATs. I hate you like Paris Hilton hated her virginity. I hate you harder then Superman’s abs. I hate you.

Just want to give a quick shout-out to the good folks over at Flock.com. They make one hell of a browser (keep up the good work gang!). Thanks a lot to my friend Paul for reminding me just how good they are. Now, if they’d only integrate with Myspace (and let the Blogging Client cross-post to it too!), they’d be golden!

Just thought it’d be nice to send some more music out there, so here’s another piece I’ve written over the years, it’s a string quartet piece that’s currently played electronically. Free, in low bitrate, dialup friendly glory! Click and enjoy (or not, your call )!

In other news, I loves me some Guitar Hero, er, Frets on Fire, rather.

I was recently lucky enough to happen upon a X-Plorer for $16 (a gentlemen was being offered $15 for it at Gamestop, I upped the ante ). Ironically, I got it the same day I got my other piece of news. Speaking of which…

It’s odd. When I think of Amanda, I don’t really feel like it’s Over. Instead, I feel really at peace, like I’m biding my time or something. I don’t know if it’s just some self defense mechanism (as opposed to opening itself to depression, maybe my brain has decided that I’ll deal with this better), or if I’m subconsciously picking up on something she’s doing/saying (it’s kind of nice, her siblings seem to be rooting for her to get back with me instead of this other fellow), or what’s going on. But, well, I have hope (and interestingly, this feels different from my previous “hope” with Deanna; it’s less about what I’m losing (in terms of my son and such forth), and more about her specifically), and as humans, is there really much more that we require for basic mental sustenance (surely not for health, but just to “get by” mentally)? And the weird part is, it’s not a desperate hope. It’s, well, more inexorable. Likely just my brain trying to take care of me, but it’s still a nice feeling. I can safely say that this is the best breakup with a girl that I really cared about that I’ve ever had. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not happy that we broke up. But it just feels so… temporary for some reason. Yeah, I know I’m weird. But that’s why you folks read me, right?

‘Till next time, my dear readers, I thank you for your time, your support, and your interest. Adieu, and good night!

I refuse to close down. I know, no one’s reading anymore. I don’t blame you. But hey, this can still be my own private place, right?

Let’s see…. stuff’s going well at the job (LOVING working at Mailrite), I’m seeing Matt less and less but there’s not really much I can do about it , and… yeah. Just trying to keep trucking!

Lots of interesting things have been happening in the tech world lately. I installed the latest release of Ubuntu on a laptop, then gave it to Mom & Dad, so they can finally have a computer. Mom’s LOVING it. And I gotta say, if you’re interested in Linux, 7.10 is QUITE the release. VERY easy to get up and running.

Really looking forward to the next release of the OpenMoko platform. I can’t afford a cellphone right now, but when I can, BOY do I know what I’m getting.

Not gonna get my hopes up, but I’m currently talking to a girl on myspace, we’ll see where that goes (wish me luck! I always had a crush on her in highschool).

I’m done stressing over Deanna, just too painful. If she ever wants to show that she can really pull things off, and I’m single then, maybe. But she was VERY hurtful, so I don’t even know (might be worth it, just for Matt’s sake though).

Currently working on the company website. The current one (www.mailritevt.com) sucks. Well, it sucks now. Hopefully, in not too long, mine will be at that address .

Usual Slashdot activity, trolling for news . Oh, and I’m trying to get OFF featured on Security Now, but not much luck yet.

Anyway, I’ll try to update a little more often (once ever six months or so is a little dry lol). Anyway, ’till next time, dear reader (if you’re even still there)!

P.S.: Play Portal!

Well, I didn’t get to blog from onsite, but at least I’m getting in one more post this weekend. Deanna’s driving, and I’m just hanging out. It was a good time. If you ever have a chance to go to Hershey Park, do so. It’s quite a blast. They’ve got very good rides (I recommend The Great Bear, it’s named for The Big Dipper (Ursa Major), and it’s just as impressive. It’s a top down coaster (meaning you get strapped in and the floor goes out from underneath you), and it has 7 different points of interest - one for each star in the constilation. All in all, though, it’s a great park. Just DON’T GO TO THE WOK AND ROLL!!! The food is horrable, and the price is nuts ($8.99 for a small plate of pepper steak, cruddy lo mein, and some roughage they claimed was pork fried rice (if there’s any pig out there that tastes THAT bad, I feel sorry for it). But yeah, beyond that nonsense it was great.Worth noting if you plan to go, is to keep an eye on the candy bars. Below you can see this creepy Hershey Bar staring at me. I can only assume he wanted to eat me. Frankly, I don’t know if I can look at a candy bar the same way again:

Anyway, we’re now heading home, and fighting our way through 8 hours of joyful traffic (hopfully there won’t be a 2 hour traffic jam this time). Wish us luck!
UPDATE: Before I got a chance to upload this, I got this great pic of Matt. Like father like son, eh?

Ok, how long has it been now? About a month and a half, right? Boy, am I sorry. However, I’m even sorrier to say it’s possibly going to be as much as another month ’till I can post again. See, I’m putting in A LOT of hours at the bakery, as we are short a manager there (even though my boss promised me that when we lost the first manager I would not be put in his place). So that doesn’t leave a lot of time for blogging, sadly. On the up side, I’ve made a lot of progress in other areas. As I mentioned in a previous post I’ve now made a nearly full move to Linux (Ubuntu Dapper Drake, to be precise). I only reboot to Windows to re-sync my iPod, and I’m nearly done with that once I get a couple of kinks with amaroK worked out. Now, let me tell you - if you’re not a hardcore gamer (a lot of games work on Linux, but not all), Linux can be a dream. I’ve got XGL and Compiz running, and it puts Vista to shame for eye candy.

I’ve got plenty of good programs in the form of open source stuff, and best? It’s all free. What do you all think about Linux? Has anyone else here tried it, and what kind of success did you have?

Ok, that’s it for now. I’ll post back ASAP. Thanks!

Here’s a neat little game I found on Digg:

 

MotherLoad Use your digger to excavate as much ore as possible

Play this free game now!!

It’s a neat little game about digging down to get to the sweet, delicious ore. Mmm… Ore…… Arrgghh…………….

Anyway, here’s a screen capture below. I think you should go check out the game NOW! It’s pretty cool.

You can digg it here. And of course, just go Here to play the game itself!
