I just realized that the last two posts I had were both about how I can't post anything. I now post to prove my point and be done with it!
Take my phorum for example. People post to it, which is awsome, but that also means that they probably read what I write here... and probably you are right now!!! ahhhh! anyway, even my teacher - or someone posing as my teacher - posted. Even if it isn't him, someone took the time to want to make it look like it was him. Whatever, I'm done. I post what I post and ain't nobody gonna stop me!!!
Anywho, word has it that james and stass are making a pretty nifty flash, and i want to see it, so if you see them (or are one of them for that matter) tell them to put it online (now that you BOTH have websites :).
And dude! (yeah, that's you mr. z if you read this) I made a VR world of my bedroom! but i used the demo version of a program called VR Worx and it wouldn't let me publish it as a quicktime *.mov, so it remains in the confines of my own computer. Whatever. Anywho, time for me to go read the rest of Animal Farm (again, if you happen to be mr. z, I have already read it all) (and if you are mr. z, I DO want to help you w/the school site)
The internet is such a big place, it keeps me from posting what is on my mind. I guess there are people that read this, holding me back from posting what I want; for what if I posted something about them? Basically what I am saying is that I can't post what is really on my mind, but a filtered version of it. I guess that is alright, because ... well, it's not actually. I just can't post anything interesting. at all. I can't post that I went to [edited for content] with [edited for content]. After I was done, I went over to [edited for content] where we [edited for content]. And that is my life. In a perfect world, I could post. I feel like I am killing the whole concept of a weblog. I am sorry to the webloggers who can and do post their mind and life; I set a bad example.
I think I am done ranting now.
High School is filled with so much drama it makes me laugh just about every day. Our school, as many know, is now Frosh-Senior, so there is a LOT more drama. I try and keep away from all of the under-classpeople, but every once in a while I come across a group of them in the office or at our tree (oh no! our tree!!!) and I just have to laugh knowing that I was there not a few years ago. Which also makes me wonder if I will say the same thing in a few years about my senior year (probably).
Anyway, even as a senior, there is a bunch of drama in my life. I have friends. Or so I would like to think :) It makes me laugh, because I am a guy and I just don't feel right posting about all this weirdness that happens in high school. I don't even post what is going on, for I try to keep a neutral blog, plus I tend to post things when I am filled with emotion, be it anger, love, bitterness, etc..., so it's not really fair to the people I am posting about. I could post w/o names, but people would know. Besides, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose?
I don't know. I just don't know. (do I stassia?)
I know, I know, you are saying "David, you are ignoring your website". Well, that may be true, but I have been very busy these last few days. I mean, for pete's sake, school started! As of today, I have a full 7 period day, plus 2 internships (one during and one after school), and a social life I am trying to keep alive as I geek out at school and with Dan Morrow. Jeez, can a guy get a rest? apparently not as was discovered this week.
I don't want to go too in depth in anything (like you care anyway =P ), but this internship with Dan is awsome. I mean, this guy is one of the smartest I know out there and I get to work with him on a regular basis! I am already designing PCBs and the such (I even soldered a few wires today...), so who knows what is in store for me this next year. I am really looking forward to it, whatever it may be.
Then there's school. Whoa. yeah... um.... yeah. No postage of the schoolage just yet.
But I do want to make a new layout for the site... I'm thinking red, white, and black. We shall see...
Oh, and http://www.stilldavid.com/IBMserver/. Yeah. Just look.
School is fun.
School sucks. thats all I have to say about that.
Nick, aka joeshmoe554, gave me a server yesterday. Not just any server, but one his dad's company was replacing. This is a beast. Weighs in at over 120 pounds. It has 16 RAM slots, 4 processor slots, 12 scsi bays (6 of which are filled) and 5 IDE bays.
I am now formatting one of the six hard drives to put windows 2000 advanced server on it. I think I have died and gone to heaven. I need a few more processors and a bit more RAM for it, so if you know anyone with a few spare socket 8 (I think) Pentium processors sitting around, tell them to email me. Anyway, my boot disks are giving me hell, so I think I need to go and download a copy of advanced server. I have never downloaded a windows OS before... hey, in that case I should just go get server 2003 and test it out... hmmm something to think about.
I have to get back to my noisy beast (3 power supplies will do it to ya...) I'm so happy!
Okay, I went to San Jose yesterday and on the way back stopped by davis where I spent the night. It was great fun :)
Anywho, LAN tonight which I CAN'T go to (thanks, mom) the reason for that being that school starts on MONDAY!!!
HOLY $#17!!! SCHOOL STARTS ON MONDAY!!!! Okay, now that that is out of my system, I can say that I am looking forward to school because I will be taking cisco in addition to interning under Aaron Zimmerman who is one of the smartest computer geeks in the area (hence, he is head IT guy of my school district) and I get to work under him!!! It is going to be a geeky year for me.
But I don't have ANY classes with Stassia... LIZZAME!!!
Anywho, just thought I would post the facts. I gotta go fix my car which started smoking on the way up here from Davis. ::sigh::
Phew. Home sweet home. I actually got home a couple days ago, but haven't updated the site. I had to go to Jacks party and ...
nevermind, company just showed up...
i live. in portland right now, and mountain view tomorrow night (I hope) but, I live. that's all i know so far. more when i am not so... dead.
Wow I was tired last night. I'm thinking of deleting that post...
I am just writing this to let everyone know what is going on. I am going to a family reunion today around ten or so, and won't get back until august tenth. It is in the San Juan Islands in Washington state. That's all I know so far. I will have fun ::cough:: stassia ::cough:: but won't be in town! call my cell if you want to chat... I will be there, and if not, text me!
Life is a funny thing. I mean, we live, right? What is the definition of "alive"? I mean, is a tree alive? Most would answer no to that, but how about a bird? a worm? I would imagine a computer has about the same intelligence of a worm (think about it a minute), but is a computer alive? Again, the answer most often is no.
So we humans are separated by this thing we call a soul? This thing that does not physically exist, but everyone you know has one. You have one, no? It is what makes us a higher being.
So now comes the question of what direction to point your soul... to god? is there such a being? if so... why doesn't he make himself known more? I don't get it.
You know, it's late. I'm tired. I have to get up tomorrow. (today?). I don't want to.
I thought I might post something deep, but I am unable to at the moment... catch me when I am more awake. I will explain what I attempted to do in the few lines above...
goodnight. I am driving to Washington tomorrow. See you august 10th or until otherwise updated.
