holy smoking speakers

yesterday brandonamp and myself burnt up a speaker, had lots of lulz about blowing up the van and lots of chocolate rain and the re-re-remix (sorry, cant find a link for that one... lulz)(found it) but yeah, we totaly toasted a speaker, to the point of it smoking and smelling really bad, god i love loud music

sysadmin

today is sysadmin appreciation day, and i appreciate all the things i do for my network, i am always working to improve it and maintain internet access for all my network users and myself, i think i do a really good job as a sysadmin, so everyone should leave me and brandonamp comments about how much you appreciate what we do to keep the networks up and running smothly

id required to continue

today i came up here to devry with brandonamp to take the entrance exam

in order to take the exam you need to have with you a form of id (i.e a drivers license or other form of id)
well, guess where my drivers license is... it is in my truck at home with the a dead battery

so tonight i am going to have to charge my truck battery and come up here tomarow so i can take the damn test

how can i be so stupid to forget my ID?

mac mini

my grandmas mac mini came today, i spent about 8-9 hours configuring, setting up and updating it, but she is happy, so am i

i am really happy because now my network is all macs, except for my gaming box and my moms dell notebook

and i dont think either of those will get replaced any time soon

tomarow i go up to devry to take my entrance exam, i know i will pass the test, i just need to get my but out of bed at 6am to meet brandon at walmart to ride up with him. i have a feeling that a lot of caffeine will be consumed tomarow... lol

hump day

today i met with a admissions adviser at devry, friday i go and take the entrance exam, i think me and brandonamp are going to truck up there together so it should be a fun day

oh god! i can see forever

so, today about all i did was sit around and play wow, i dident clean anything or even leave the house, i listened to a lot of bass with my new speakers and ate green ramen noodles for dinner

tomarow i get to meet with a admissions adviser at devry so, hopefully she will like me and i can apply for school, and if i get accepted i will be going to one of the best schools in the country for NSA (network system admin) (same degree as brandonamp is going for) so i am excited and cant wait to go

good vibrations

went to my grandparents storage unit auction this morning and i bought a unit with a pair of large floor speakers (each with a 15" in them) and a car box with 2 12" sony xplods in it, i just tried them out and all the speakers work very well, right now i am pumping the bass, and it is great.

i am really happy with them because they will be really nice for DJ-ing parties or whatever.

only problem is the car box will not fit in my truck, i guess i will just have to use them in my room, what ever will i do? i guess i will just have to pump the bass into mah room

i found my old blog

i used to have a blog and for some reason or another i stopped updating it, so here it is, without further ado, my old blog

sunday update

i havent updated my blog for a few days, so i will update now

thursday i went to the mall with nate and got 2 morter+pestles (one big one small)

friday, i ran a cable over to my grandmas so now my network is a small CAN (campus area network) because it connects 2 buildings together, the cable run was over 300' and had to be buried, it was about a 6 hour job

saturday i went to walmart with dave and got all the stuff i need to make caffeine jello shooters, i also got a new belkin router and installed it

i will post a review of my new router in a few days after i see how i like it

WAN

how big does a network have to be to be considered a WAN? and how is big measured? number of nodes? physical size?

if it is physical size how big is a wan?

if it is nodes, how big is a wan?

post your thoughts as comments and we will see if my network counts as a wan...

web hosting

i think i am going to buy a web host so that i can put files it and not have to worry about it going down all the time, most of the pics in my blog are broken links right now, sorry about that, mediafire is down yet again

this is really starting to piss me off

-amaya

i am currently tinkering with setting up a security/webcam page here

cooling power of fans

i found some old server rack cooling fans so i zip-tied 4 120mm square ones together in a line and i am going to wire them up so that it will be a really good window fan, they are 120v ac so i dont have to worry about a dc power supply to run them, you can see more pics here

caffeine

oh man, caffeine and jello and jello shooters, that is what im talking about

you can learn how to make them here

why, you ask? why make a caffeine jello shooter you ask?

well, i would say to that "why the fuck not?"

zomg 80 gig

so, brandonamp and i went to worstbuy today looking for a 120gig laptop drive, they only had a 80 so brandonamp decided not to get it, so we went to lunch at red lobster and then he decided to get it, so we trucked back over to worstbuy and got the 80gig, and right now we are installing winblows on it, when we were at worstbuy we found some new products made by a company called rocket fish, so we were joking the whole time about rocket fish, also, on the way up there we were talking about driving a hummer and being enviromentaly friendly, like having you cake and eating it and losing weight, you just have to have a low calorie cake


so it has been a good day so far

i will update about the rest of the day later

plans

tomarow i am going to got to worstbuy with brandonamp to get a new HD for his lappy, and then we are going to come back to mah kommand center and fix his lappy and get all his stuff downloaded, along with some movies that i have, then truck out to governaters to fix his sisters lappy, and then go to anime club, and that is about it

see you all tomarow

lilyfest

oh man, i went to the lilyfest today, got to see some art and some pottery and lots of flowers

i also got to see some vikings and some fairies

the vikings were really cool, they had set up a camp there and where playing viking games and cooking food the way the vikings would have and showing off viking-era weapons such as swords and axes, along with typical armor, like chain mail and helmets, both leather and metal ones.

the fairy camp is not worth talking about

so yeah, it was a good day, altho the thunder storm we had blew out my grandparents satellite and my grandmas computer, so i am burning dvd's for my grandpa to watch and i am working on my grandmas computer, *sigh* a geeks work is never done

predator


if you can think of any movies that we should add post a comment, i will edit this post later when i talk to brandonamp

mediafire

ok, the site that i have been using to store all of my files is having database issues, so most if not all of my posts about current wallpapers and where you can get them will be broken links, sorry for any inconvinence this may cause, i am currently searching for a new place to host files

in other news i downloaded episodes one and two of the new show code monkeys, so far it is a good show if you like geeky humor

and finally about the scifi movie night, get with me if you are interested and we will see what we can plan

rozen maiden

oh man, been watching rozen maiden all morning, i feel like my head is going to melt, i just love anime

it took me about 2 hours to figure out what was even going on, and then i had to start over so that i could understand everything that i had just watched and finally figured out, but, hey, thats anime

wednesday 6:00 AM

what am i doing up at 6 in the morning? well i went to bed at 8 last night so that is what i am doing, i think the plan for today is to first eat breakfast, then i will probly fire up wow and waste a few hours on there, and then i might eat lunch and then more wow and... you get the idea, altho at some point i need to talk with my mom about going to devry for there NSA program, see what she thinks mabey get some more info and get a application, i will probly need to pull my high school records and stuff so i have a lot of crap to do today, i will update at some point and tell you how things are going or went depending on when i decide to update again

in other news, ... i cant really think of anything to put here

tuesday, is the day of, well, today

well, brandonamp, you said it right in your blog, to the whole 3 people who read this, altho in my case, it is most likely less, brandonamp, i think your the only one, making my last post trolling for wimons useless.

still, i am going to continue to update this as if hundreds of people are reading this, my mom not being one of them, because how cliche is that for your mom to read your blog, you could not put any of the really cool stuff in it

i am so glad that my mom does not know how to find my blog, makes me feel safe to put anything in i want in here, yay me

normally right now i would be playing wow but the servers are all off line, so so much for that.

monday

i hate mondays, i just do. period.

but today was ok, i played wow for about 12+ hours so you know, it was ok

in other news i have a headache, i really bad one, it is great, i am so high on meds it is wonderful

in other other news, i am looking for a girlfriend, or a female companion or any other way you can say that.

friday the 6th

today is friday the 6th of the 7th month of the year

and a 5, 6, 7, 8...

wow, wednesday is over, that was fast.

so today was the 4th of july, insert fireworks here, yay, we did it, we beat the damn britts, and now i buy tea from them, anyone see the breakdown in logic there? they taxed us for tea when we were a part of them and now they sell us tea, in 231 years nothing has changed

altho, i do like the britts, and i really do love there earl grey tea, and if i ever get the chance i would love to go there for a nice vacation.

all i did today was watch myth busters and eat, that is what i call a good day

cant sleep

it is now 6am eastern standard time and i cant sleep because my mom wants me to burn a dvd for her, no big deal, right?

wrong.

the problem is she wants me to burn a .avi video file to a dvd that will play in almost any dvd player, and the problem is, i use a mac, so for the past 5 hours my mac mini has been chewing on that damn 800mb .avi file trying to put it into imovie so i can burn it to a dvd and it will play, and the problem is that she needs it tomarow, well, it is tomarow so she needs it today, in a few hours, whatever. so i have been up all nite wishing i had spent the extra money for the faster of the 2 mac minis so that this would be done now, but nooooo. i had to be a cheap basterd. and i am getting really tired too

mah kommand center

24 hours after heroshima

about 24 hours ago i made the fatal mistake that resulted in the loss of over a months worth of data, and currently i am still recovering

T-plus 12 hours and counting

just woke up from a nap and i am contiuning the search for normality as i fight to get my macbook back just the way i want it

so far i have my chat clients working, i have my powermate installed and i have wow installed, all i need now are the updates for wow and then i will just have to find all the random programs i never use and configure all of the small settings

i would say i am 50% back to normal

6 hours after system meltdown

ok, so it has been about 6 hours since i fucked up my mac book and erased the hd.

i now have osX 10.5 aka leopard up and running and i have wow installed and am starting to get updates

i would say that i am at about 40% back to normal

if i had money i would be dangerous

wow, ok, so i am installing osX 10.5 on my macbook, and i say to myself "i will just install this on the partition that winblows is installed on, because i never use that on here" so i go to reformat that partition and boom, erased my whole drive.

and to top it off, my most recent backup is over a month old, so i am trying to get up and running again and wish that i had a recent backup

but the pure power of leopard makes me so happy that i cant help but smile

installing the new cat

currently installing mac osX 10.5 aka "leopard"

it looks like it will be really nice, if the install goes ok on my mac mini i will put it on my mac book (i have a black mac book)

i will update as i get more info to post

the new big cat

got osx 10.5 developer pre-release today, i hope to start coding as soon as monday or tuesday

today ranks a 7.5 out of 10

friends

here is a link to brandonamps blog, a good friend of mine

the first post is always the hardest

this is a blog, ppl read it and know just that much more about you, and you know what, i think the government invented blogs so that they can keep tabs on all of the nerds out there and they dont even need the patriot act to do it
