A Series of Tubes

:’ (…

How sad, to see a good forum crashed in its prime…
Kato says the good old Guild of Age Crafters should be back up sometime soon…until then, here’s to a great forum lost to the tides of the internet.

I think its time to write about culture. I think its a bit funny to look back at what humans used to be, and see how much we’ve progressed…And then sharply declined. I’ll start at the beginning:
Cavemen- primitive, lived out very short lives. Some tools.
Iron age- more tools, some religion. Lives still short, feudal system.
Ancient Rome- many tools, technological advancements. Democracy, medicine, longer lives. War.
Mideval- Lots of sickness, decline in medicine. Much religion, feudal/monarch system. More war
Reniassance- Advance in arts, religion, medicine- longer lives. Less war.
Colonial- Much more religion, a few wars. Lives are still short, medicine remains average.
70’s- Hippys! Woot! War. Lots-o-war.
Modern- Ok here we are. Obescity, video games. Computers. War over nothing. Dancing? Simply shuffling back and forth. Music is just people complaining about love, without any melody. Even the quality of our video games has declined, as proved by this poster.

I apologize for this post, I know it’s poorly written…but I’m tired. Deal with it. 😛

I just re-rendered my star/tentacle thing using an awesome raytracer, which came out looking awesome. I added Myst Otaku in the corner in a cool font, and voila! A wallpaper. Click the title to download it! (Or you can click here, if you are lazy.)

(Woot! I got a Maj account to host this one!)

Woot! I downloaded WindowsBlinds today, because I felt like it. Before today, I used an Alienware skin, because I thought they looked cool. But I got bored, and because my friend Matt told me to, I downloaded WindowsBlinds. I’m using ‘5imple Alpha,’ and it looks all bluish and cool. Yay!

Again I ask RSSers to come take a look at the real site, because I added more stuff! Yay! Now there’s a random phrase at the bottom of the site, which it picks from a long list of phrases I gave it, and also a random word at the end of each post! If you want to see more random words, refresh the page and all the words will change! Happyfuntime! 😀

Hail my dad, the fixer of computers! Yes that’s right, he fixed my computer that wouldn’t boot. How? He unplugged it and plugged it back in! 😛 Thanks!

Well, poop. Today I tried (for kicks) booting my Uru computer with Ubuntu Linux, and it was cool. Cool, until I decided to turn it off and reboot with windows. Not cool because, well, it never happened. I turned off the computer and turned it back on, and it immediatly booted Ubuntu. No ‘DELL’ start-screen, no list to select where to boot from, rien. So I take the Ubuntu disk out and try rebooting. Faliure. The disk-active light turns on and blinks, then turns off. The computer claims it’s on, but the monitor doesn’t show anything, the keyboard is unresponsive (the caps lock light won’t turn on), and obviously the mouse doesn’t work either. The CPU-active light is off, it’s really completely dead. If anyone is interested, I also have a KVM switcher hooked up to that computer and this one…HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Here’s an annoying fact about my computers: they’re in a room with windows in it. So yeah, in the morning I get some nice sun shining in the room, and that’s nice. But at 2:15…RIGHT when I get back from school and am about to go into URU/Myst withdrawal, the sun is positioned juuuust right so that the sunlight lands directly on my monitor. It’s like using a GameBoy Wormlight. It does nothing except reflect off the screen into your eyes, making the screen even harder to see…Yes, it’s gone by 2:45, but very annoying all the same.

Hey for anyone who is using an RSS feed and doesn’t actually visit the site, come take a look at the new look! The star is rendered in 3DS Max 6, and the faded out edges were created in The Gimp 2. Cool, huh?

(Yes, this is a post about you, Yaz…)
One of my best friends (and apparently my most common reader), moved to Malaysia a while back. It was sad. But now he says he’s going to come back to the good ole USA, to Harrisburg. Visit us sometime, eh?
