Business Ventures

Published on February 28, 2006

Well, I’ve been quite busy the past week or two, hence the silence. I know ya’ll missed me .

First off, I’ve picked up a job doing the website for a grad student in the Fine Arts School here, specifically a portfolio website, as he’s a photographer. This’ll be interesting, and I trust I can put out something of high enough caliber for what he needs.


Settler’s Of Cataan ™

Well, ’tis a great game, I think. If you haven’t played it, you really oughta.

This *was* going to be a bigger post, but, well, things went awry. Turns out, what I was playing with is rather buggy and ugly. However, if you happen to get this client to work, I’m running a few server’s on snarky.no-ip.org. I plan on, hopefully, getting it so 10 servers will run (ports 5550-5560), and I’ve already got a meta-server, so you can see if anyone’s playing (snarky.no-ip.org:5557). I think it’d be great to be able to play you guys over the Internet, and also makes for an easy, yet somewhat entertaining single player game. Well, I’ll be looking into other clients, as well as a way to set up your own server with a php page from here, so stay tuned.


Botnets

Published on February 18, 2006

Well, there’s a good article on botnets, and how they work here. I had an argument in Chicago this summer with a friend who couldn’t see the point in them. I hope this article will effectively articulate the danger, and fun, of such nets.


Sudoku

Well… I’m addicted to them, I’ll admit it. I recently came across an interesting format to represent them. You can read more about that on the other site.


Happy Valentine’s Day… For the Single and Not-So-Single

Published on February 13, 2006

Well, this post will live up to my nickname… If you don’t know why, well, go check a dictionary. And yea, should be some good laughs.

Valentine’s Day is all about spending time with the one you love…


Oops

Sorry ’bout that last post on LiveJournal. The new design moved the “Excerpt” box, and I filled in the wrong thing. Oh well. I also moved my script to a more secure location, so… hopefully these things won’t happen again. Just for fun, I’m uploading a picture of my workstation in the Burrow, a CS lab behind key-card access on campus. My favorite place to work (on campus).


New Look

Published on

Well, some big changes just happened. I’ve (been) upgraded to WordPress 2.0.1 for starters. This is cool. There’s some new stuff (notice the search bar on the front page), and the backend got a BIG redesign.

Also, I’ve decided to go get me a theme, as the guy that gives me hosting just started a WordPress blog and made (is making?) a cool theme. I’m starting with a base citybridge, and will be editing it over the next few days (hopefully, only days). I’m gonna be changing the text colors, a tad, the big image, and maybe the curly looking things. So, use the comments to let me know if you like, or hate, or what part you like or hate, of the new theme(s). (Broad enough for ya?)

Been super busy as of late, once I get approval, I’ll let ya’ll know about the research I’m doing here.


Social Networks

Well, some of you have heard me rant about Social Networks, Facebook being an example, already, but here’s a new one.
