can i classify today as bad?

today was off to a great start, i got up, went to work, did my job, hung around there a little bit after and came home, altho, when i got home i realized that the bat cave needed some supplies, so i hailed captain sparky to see if she would like to voyage along. after i picked up captain sparky we headed to the local area walmart to commender supplies. on the way i went through the light by CVS pharmacy and after i crossed falls mill bridge i realized that there was a sheriff behind me, so i drove carefully to the walmart light and as soon as the light turned green he turned on his lights, so i pulled in to bobevans there and he followed me in, so as i was getting out my license and stuff he tapped on my window, normally i have enough time to get out my license, registration and insurance, but not this time. so i rolled down my window and handed him my license (all i had managed to find at this point) and he asked if i knew why he pulled me over, i said "uhhh, probably because i went through the cvs light a little fast" and he said that was the reason so i gave him my insurance info and then told him that we change our insurance recently and that i did not have a current card, he asked who i was with and then told me to just slow down a bit and drive safe. so sparky and i went on it to walmart, i was still trying to calm down from being pulled by a sheriff deputy, and we carried on with gathering supplies. when we had almost finished i happened to see a woman walking with her daughter next to her, and the daughter had the most beautiful hair in the world, and i stopped and watched them slowly walk away until the turned out of sight. so sunni and i continued on to find the last thing we where looking for and as we where leaving the isle guess who turns in to it? the mother and daughter that i had watched before. so i slowly walk past them almost in tears at this point, the mother said hi, and all the daughter did was smile shyly in that way she does all too well.

http://lolikun.org/

also, fetishchan was opened for the first time at the same time lolikun reopened
http://fetishchan.org/


so here is the scoop, we lost our hosting deal, and on the night before that, we where hacked, i can not recover any data and the sysadmin who set up the server security is nowhere to be found, i hope to get back online at some point, but the godaddy account for fetishchan was stolen so i dont even have a domain now

hello lolikun

today open and myself plan on rebuilding the webserver that once housed lolikun, we will start off by just getting a OS on the damn thing and go from there, im hoping that we can get it serving webpages today and if that is the case then lolikun will probobly come back online late tonight or tomarow and fetishchan will be right behind it, and then sunni and i will need to work on building her site. once we get all that sorted out open and myself have plans to build a technical wiki for everything from setting up a router to defragmenting your computer to installing a pci modem, so we are really excited about that.

weekend camping

the camping trip that was slated for this weekend was postponed after we found out that nathen who was bringing the tent, could not make it because he was called in to work overtime so the camping trip has been put off until probably summer time. its cool tho because this will give us a chance to find a nice place to camp in the middle off the woods and it will be a lot better than camping in the rain. so i think this was probably for the best.

wednesday!

today was uber great! went to work, had a great day at work, got a lot of stuff done, and got along great with tech and the customers where really nice today. after work i headed to columbus for class. on the way i stopped at the G.I. depot in lancaster and picked up a few things. (more specificly i got a hand grenade, a pair of chemical gloves and a gas mask) after my stop at the G.I. depot, i continued on to school. when i got there i found out that they moved the classroom to the other end of the building so i found the new classroom and got seated (only after i found and outlet to plug in my laptop) tim then showed up right before class started so he joined me in what soon became the heckler section of the class, because as soon as nemo started to teach we both realized how trivial tonight's class was so we ended up talking about our own machines until the break when he ran and got his laptop, after that we ended up doing our own things for the most part. then came lab time, and our lab for tonight was to take apart a computer, identify a bunch of different part and then put the machine back together, and it needed to work when we where done, so tim and i worked together and ripped the thing apart and identified all the parts first, then we put the thing back together, we finished with that before anyone else had identified all the parts required. but when we went to fire it back up, disaster, the machine would not even post! we began trouble shooting it, removed everything but the vitals, tried it, still nothing, so we reseated the CPU and the thing churned to life! after we put everything back together, we found that we forgot to hook the IDE back up, so we went back in and did that, and even after all this trouble we where the first ones to finish! so, all in all, today was quite epic

trebuchet specs

the day started off with myself picking up sunni and going to king lumber to get 2x4's, we got 4 12' long ones. we then ran over to savings hardware to get wood screws and some other hardware. when we got back to my cave, we started with work. ripping down the 2x4's and making the final choices on the plans. we decided to go with the base being 2' wide and 8' long. the fulcrum point is 3' high and the supports are in the middle of the base with 2 added supports on each stand. for the fulcrum we used a 1.5 inch dowel rod. the main beam is a total of 6' long, the counter weight is about 1' from the fulcrum. and the sling is about 3' long. all in all it will throw a half brick over 50' and over 70' in the air. pictures to follow.

dreams

normaly, i dream about stuff that would make normal people run to there shrinks, and i am fine with this because even tho when i dream most of the time i have no control over the content and it is just off the wall shit i know i am dreaming, so everything is fine. but what really jerks me awake in a cold sweat is dreams that are so close to reality that i cant tell the difference. these dreams really bother me because it is so close to reality that i cant tell the difference until i wake up, and even after i wake up i often have the memory of the dream as if it was just something that happened the other day, so i am thinking of those dreams as actual events and these memorys affect my judgement and i am afraid that one of these days i will be asked something or i will need to refrence my memory and i will draw off of those dreams as if they where actualy real. this really freaks me out because i have started to second guess my memorys about things because i just dont know if that even happened or if i dreampt it.

trebuchet

this is just a quick update about the trebuchet that sunni and i built, i need to get pictures from her and then i will do a detailed write up about the construction, building, and testing!
