Month: December 2002

I have yet to work my Category system into effect. I hope to have a different background color for different categories. Then you would know if what I have to say is babble, prose, or humour.

I have yet to get my links in order on the left side, but I looked at my site in IE and found it to be quite unsatisfactory. Why cant the browsers agree?? So, I had to make my Width for the #content tag. I had it un specified before, but IE doesnt like that and tries to make that div tag the same size as the whole window. Guh.

I have done a lot to keep my CSS compatible with my old one. I did a lot of restuctring, though. Took some tags out (milesmade and milesmaded and blog) and had to add some for the sake of what I still plan to do (inverse and bottom). To make sense of it, the milesmade put a red border around things, the milesmaded put a blue border around things, and blog made the first post padded by 15px.

I dont think anyone is reading this, but it also serves to give me something to scroll. I need more stuff to put on the left. The blue box I plan on making into Status stuff. Right now I have iMood and this nice BlogAmp thing that puts my latest song on the site (I can configure it to show more than one song if I wish.)

So, I think thats all that is new. I plan on making the links cool, too (CSS time) but I am running out of time. I wish to release the site on January 1st.

We will see.

I dont have much to say.

My keyboard got soda spilt into it, so some of the keys stick and dont work. One of them is key (oh, man – play on words) to making contractions, so, even though I could just quit making them, Ill continue to make contracting, just without that all special key.

Finals are this week (to everyones surprise) and I may actually have more time to post. Well see. I hadnt much to say lately.

I finished my [ english project ] and hope that you all will take a look at it. Even if it is brief. I wanted to include more interwebs, but Im done with it.

I think that is all for now. I am planning on redoeing the site over Christmas break, so you may see a very different [A]wayken[.]Com[ ] come the new year. Well see.

Before you read anything, look at [ this ] wonderful picture.

This, people, is the elusive MegaTron. This rare photo has caught the MegaTron in its natural environment, some sort of disoteque, as are so popular with young children of today.

Here he makes a hesitant wave. To hide himself from predators (mostly likely trying to steal his awesome hat – or are those his ears??) he, himself, does himself become an optical illusion, himself. He stands, straight-legged, ready to take on the world one stilt-footed step at a time.

It’s hard to tell what sort of expression it wears. It appears to be looking at something up and to its right. Or it could be part of the MegaTron mating dance in which they basically just do that expression right there – that one — right … there.

It is my only hope that this creature does not find its way into our cities. If so, the results could be disasterous. It has been known to inexplicably suck the power out of any surge protecter with a simple clicking sound.

These creatures excite easily and may defend themselves by launching old pumpkins at offenders. However, if caught face to face, do not fear this creature. One on one, or caught in a small group, the MegaTron is actually pretty cool.

Just don’t Peek-A-Boo with him – after that, my guess is, you’ll never see him again.

This isn’t really a post, but I wanted to get something out here so that you people don’t think that I gave up websites.

“Webpages? Those are for dorks!”

No, what I did instead is decided to devote myself to my studies. So, I have little things to share with you. For one, there is [ this ].

This is a pretty cool [ pic ]. I’m also experimenting with Media Player 9. Jeff had it a while back and I’ve decided to give it a spin. ( + ) is that it minimizes to the task bar. ( – ) is that it doesn’t take control, so when I hit “Pause” it starts Winamp. geez.

Secondly, here is a humourous story. I have several email filters that put emails with key words into a special folder. I check that folder first, skim the subject lines, the authors and decide whether to keep it.

Then I hit select all, and I uncheck any emails that I wish to keep. The remaining selected emails I delete. Then I select all again and I send those to the inbox.

Well, today, I checked my “Forwardz” folder, and I skimmed. Oooo, two emails to keep. I selected all, unchecked the two emails, the hit “Send to Inbox.”

oh holy mother of pearl why why me hoeahhh

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Because suddenly all I had was those two emails. And I had a funny feeling that the rest weren’t in the trash. Now I’m afraid to see my inbox.

Sometimes I hate email.

just sometimes.

You know what that is up there? No you don’t.

I am writing this post because I haven’t slept for close to 24 hours and plan on skipping band to sleep this afternoon. I hope that my grammar and spelling do not suffer, but they will. Like all of you will.

I have an assembly project due. Guess what? I uploaded it to this stupid website and you can download it. Make sure you put all the files in the same folder. If you run it and wierd things happen, then don’t worry. It’s just that you have a gay computer.

Get a new computer and try again. That link is right [ here ].

Why else am I up so late? Well, I had a lot to add for other authors. A lot considering the usual stagnation. And I also haven’t updated the [ Zimmermann Site ] in a while and I figured I’d do that. I also have a stupid Calc test. It’s gotten me quite by surprise, but I feel like I could do anything tonight. After figuring that project out, I’m ready to take on the world… Hardcore!

I think right now I am going to reboot my computer, watch an episode of 24, do some math related musings, and possibly a couple hits of [ acid ].

Oh man – it has snowed.

i hate snow
