Good news
That was a lie, there’s no good news. I added a page to sell my car, but have thus far been thwarted in my attempts to actually clean and photograph my car. I was going to take it to Enterprise / Carmax today to get an estimate for a straight up trade in, but both told me they were only accepting trade-ins if I was going to buy another car. Disheartened, I decided to nap and play the internet all day instead of accomplishing things. Oh well. Somebody buy it.
I think my username for every service on the internet is now danpaulson@gmail.com. E-mail, aim, msn, facebook, yahoo, twitter. If I could get danpaulson.com away from that damn dirty farmer, my internet domination would be complete. Seriously, I hate that guy so much. That is a nice hat though.
I haven’t played the WoW beta all that much, but from what I’ve seen, it seems decent. Nothing earth shattering, if you didn’t like it before this won’t change your opinion, but enough to keep current addicts stuck for another year or two. I’ve heard decent things about WAR, and of course the KOTOR MMO makes me all kinds of sexy.
So I ordered an XPS 1530M, 2.5ghz, 4gb ram, LED screen and the 8600gt. Transferring my warranty to Canada/Korea seems pretty straight forward, though I may need Jin to translate as I think the Korean service centers are devoid of English. It ships with Vista Home, and while I’m inclined to wipe it as soon as I get it and load XP, I’m thinking I may give Vista a quick look. I suppose running Vista / Linux on my laptop and OS X / XP on my mini would at least give me diversity.
I hate Thomas Welfley. My name is Dan Paulson. Please google, track me.
Gonna have to edit for this - WOW. WOWOWOW. How am I supposed to compete with that?
Cyproject development update
Well, at the very least, it would be accurate to say that The Cyberia Project now has the base functionality required to be considered a ‘blog’ (please don’t call it that though). Unfortunately however, it leaves quite a bit to be desired in the content department. To temporarily amend this deficiency, sometime over the next few weeks, I plan to start going through all of the posts from the old site and re-posting the ones that I deem worthy.
It probably wouldn’t be that difficult to migrate all of the old content to the new system, but I decided that since the vast majority of it is not particularly interesting, I’ll save the space and hopefully reduce confusion for newer readers (as soon as I get those and maybe some of the old ones back). Basically, I don’t want to have to explain why The Cyberia Project went from few members up to a decent sized group of members and then down to one very open-minded, sexy, delicious, good willed, loving person. If you were wondering about that anyway, I didn’t kill them. I swear.
On an unrelated but sexy note, cyproject.net launched three years ago on this day, July 1st. Happy birthday The Cyberia Project. Additionally, thank you everyone that helped develop the original concept and those that helped that concept grow and evolve.
Bring it on Thomas.
A post
So yeah, I’ve obviously done some things with this little blog. I added pictures, but they don’t seem to update. So they can go right to hell. Victoria was here for the last week or so. That was pretty swell. I’ll spare you the details, and save me the manpoints.
My next steps for this site will be to attempt to develop my own theme. I have an idea for the layout here, but this activity is more of just practice for when I may need to do it for ifsi.org. They’re not really sure what a blog is, they thought it was “chat”, but I could see some applicable use for it that would still leave me a job. And that’s always fun.
My portable workstation is nearing completion. I picked up some new speakers over the weekend, and they actually perform quite well. They also come with a shnazzy little carrying case, “cute” was one description, but regardless they are handy and portable. The USB cable is about as small as…a small USB cable, but that’s easily overcome.
I’m thinking I need an additional external hard drive. The 750 gig is always sitting at 97-99% full, and I really want to get all of Stargate and the rest of MST3k on it. Poor Mac Mini is running out of USB ports. Other than this, all I’m really waiting on is for Dell to have a deal on an XPS1530, which from Billy I’ve heard is awesome and from limited hands on experience I’ve decided is quite good. My Dad also has this awesome SwissArmy bag that holds a laptop and like your life, but I haven’t looked much in to that.
This posts sole intention was a pre-emptive strike against any content cyproject.net may post.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
I just spent like 30 minutes attempting to remember my password.
I got twitter. www.twitter.com/danpaulson I still think it’s dumb.
I may work on this some. WE SHALL SEE.
