Indiana....yeah!

Believe it or not, my time in Indiana was actually pretty nice. Although I was basically cut off from technology (i.e. broadband) I still enjoyed my time talking to my cousins. My great-aunt has dial-up but I didn't bother because a whole bunch of family was over. The rest of the family I don't mind, my family on the other hand, you wouldn't want to be around. So the entire time I was basically hanging out and talking with my older cousins playing some games and drinking (soda for me), along with watching the Colts/Bronco's game on a giant tv. Although the house I was at was pretty far from civilization it had a ton of technology in it. So now I'm off to go study for a chemistry quiz I have tomorrow.

So tired....

Yeah, I'm pretty tired. I worked out for awhile tonight. I jogged for like for an hour off and on and then I did 300+ crunches. For me that's pretty intense since the last time I've truly worked out was three months ago. I'm incredibly out of shape and have decided to try and lose some weight so I can at least look good in my other shirts. The only ones that look good are the prep shirts that I have. Anyway, I've been falling behind in my posting for Techspec and I hope to start doing that again Monday. I've just been trying to get the hang of school and getting used to my new homework schedule that I have. Plus I've been immersing myself in the BrokenBinary Forums. It's pretty cool. That place has some pretty funny characters there. Plus I've been dealing with the recent spam that's been hitting me.......well that's pretty much it. I'm going to be gone tomorrow and probably won't be back Sunday because I'm taking a trip to Indiana for some family get-together dohickie. L8er.

Ditto

I'm turning on the word verification for my comments as in hopes to stop the spam that keeps hitting my blog. Just like my friend Caleb I've no idea why you would want to spam this site. Mine isn't even that popular. So no more spam.

*&%# Internet

For the past couple of days I haven't been able to access the internet. I removed a piece of spyware from my computer (that probably came from my dad surfing the internet) and my internet would not load any pages after that. It was really crazy. We almost got to the point where we had to reformat my hard drive but luckily it didn't come to that. It just started working again but my dad won't let on it. So right now I'm at my friends house (who has broadband hehehe). So you people may not see me for awhile because my dad thinks it's my fault for downloading stuff like This Week in Tech or Diggnation. You all know that's a load of BS but whatever. So I might be on later tonight or sometime in the next century. Till Then....

I'm getting sick of this

Seriously, stop spamming my site. I don't appreciate it and from now on I'm going to delete any spam that comes here. If worse comes to worse I'm going to remove my comments. I don't come to your blogs and spam you so stay the hell away from mine you stupid mofo's. Anyway I'm sort of tired so I'm going to surf the internet for an hour and then go to bed.

Chemistry Bites

I'm not in school even three days and already I have a chemistry quiz on lab safety and lab equipment. So basically I've been studying for that for like two hours today. Boring stuff.

-Vash

Stop spamming me

I don't think I made myself clear, dont' spam me. I do not want you advertising your site on my comments unless I make a post entitled "Plug Time," and I plug your site because I like it. You can also comment me if you like what's going on here or just leave a comment pertaining to my topic but other than that don't spam. Spammers me me sick :/

-Vash

Don't spam here

Alright who's the asshole who spammed me in my last post? You don't even have the courage to show your blog on here? I've deleted your comment and plan on reporting you if you pull a stunt like that again. I don't appreciate spammers and if I had a choice I'd pull a cracker trick and delete your database. Basic point: DO NOT SPAM ME!!!

Broadband possibly coming Vash's way?

Finally, the answer I've been possibly waiting for. The Northern Illinois Technology Triangle (or NITT) is onboard with the town of Rochelle to start installing fiber optic cables from the town of Rockford to Rochelle. My town is almost in their of line of site so hopefully they will connect the towns inbetween, because my town is only five minutes from the highway. Although it may take awhile before they begin installing the fiber optic cables I'm still excited and hope to see my town included in the plan. Rochelle News-Leader

Plug Time

Alright while I was surfing Digg like usual I found a site called Ebook911. It's awesome and contains ebooks on Java, Perl, Java-Script, HTML Editing, How to use Linux, and so forth. I highly recommend it for those of you who want to get started in that sort of stuff.

Skipping school....sort of..

I'm taking a college class my junior year which is PC Configuration and Repair and fortunately for me it doesn't start until August 24th so I basically get to sleep in till 9:30 in the morning instead of having to get up at 6:15 like I usually do. This means for a week I only have four classes because there are only eight periods in the day and my college class takes up three periods, plus lunch so there's only four. So yeah the rest of my high school day is basically easy classes except Chemistry. And what really sucks about that class is it is with a teacher I didn't want. Oh well. Gotta roll with the punches huh?

Martin Sargent is back!

Those of you Unscrewed fans who haven't heard this yet but Martin Sargent now has a blog.

Close but no cigar...

Alright people will think I'm joking about this but I'm not. I was literally ten minutes away from posting possibly one of the biggest diggs in history. The story about Peter Jennings is literally 13-14 diggs from 2000 diggs right now. However when I went to post it I saw that only one other person had dugg the story (obviously somebody with broadband) and unfortunately for me the story had 71 diggs already and was steadily climbing. I was so close, seriously, and I know I'm complaining but what I'm really complaining about is my ISP, aol is a piece of shit, anyway, here's how it went down. As soon as I saw the story broke I immediately booted up my aol to dialup. Unfortunately I forgot to turn off my Norton parental control list off and the damn thing started loading as soon as I went to type in my password. So I was stuck for a minute waiting for it to load and then I had to re-type my password and was on my way. Well of course the log-on took five minutes and and I immediately hit my firefox icon and furiously typed in digg.com. Unfortunately once again the transfer to the Digg homepage took like three minutes and when I went to submit the article it was already on there. That's when I immediately thought, "dammit!" So from there on I just watched as the story soared to huge hits and I sat amongst the background kicking myself for living in an area with the only accessibility to the internet being a crappy aol 33k dial-up connection. Dammit, verizon or somebody bring me high-speed please!!!

RIP Peter Jennings

Although the man wasn't my favorite reporter kudos to this guy for being such a damn good reporter. Peter Jennings for those of you who don't know was ABC's World New's Tonight's anchor. 1938-2005.

I love this

I was on Digg and found an article about why men can't hear women all the time. ABC Online News

School starts soon

Oh dear, the thing I've been wanting and dreading all summer long. School starts in a week and a half. Oh well, this year at least I'm taking the classes I want and don't have to play the sport I suck at (football). Ahh the only thing left to do, become an awesome technology ladiesman sorta like Krose. Heheh...

New shoes are nice

Finally, I've managed to ditch my crappy nike's (trust me they're good but they've fallen apart) and gotten some awesome mossimo shoes. They basically look like skater shoes but I don't care. Although one thing is I'm not used to black shoes. All my life I've warn white tennis shoes basically. Anyway, I'm sick. Literally, sinusitis sucks. I was severely congested for several days but thanks to the marvels of modern medicine I'm feeling much better. Although the side effects of the medicine make me wheeze a little so I have an inhaler to cure that. The only reason I wheeze is because of what happens after post nasal drip and because my sinus is infected. Anyway, I've been watching the From the Shadows video's and I'm quite impressed. Although The Broken and Systm are still #1 in my book, #2 will fall to From the Shadows.

ABC banned from Russia

I actually managed to watch nightline on that particular night somehow. I saw the entire report too. Words can't describe how people can justify things nowadays. Anyway did anybody see that?

The Broken Episode #4

Yes that's right, confirmed on TWIT 16 by David Prager of Revision 3. I'm so psyched now. I missed the darker content and I missed the 40's and the swearing. The bloopers were the best. So sometime this year a new broken will be out.

Content Content Content

Ahh, a much needed visit to my friend in the next town over got me a lot of tech content to last me awhile. While I was there I downloaded two episodes of The Laporte Report, a couple of KFI's, all the episodes of Command-N, TWIT 15 and 16, and all four episodes of From the Shadows. And last but not least I also got Systm Episode #3. I couldn't wait to watch it so I watched it as soon as I got home. Some pretty cool stuff! So for the next week and or two I'll watch or hear an episode of something once a day so I'll have something to do until school starts. Yipee!!
