It died. It finally died. This is very very sad. My router finally coughed it's other lung and fell over. :)
A sad day indeed. Now I have no idea what I'm going to do to replace it, considering I'm flat broke and I doubt my parents will understand why it needs to be replaced (at least until they discover they can't get online at all). Damnit. Damnit damnit.
I'm going to go mourn now.

Enigma - Sadeness (Remix) |
] |
Well, it's finals time. Just finished my first final, 2 more to go. Another one tonight.
So I believe I did "ok" on my Java final. It's a beginning programming class, so of course is was rather easy. I mostly didn't know the questions on drawing, and function naming. Too much GUI for a beginning class, if you ask me. But other than the GUI (which, of course, accounted for over half the final), I did rather well. :)
My Cisco CCNA class is tonight. If I can manage to recram the knowledge into my brain, I'll do fine. I aced the hands-on final, of course. In fact, I was the first one done. Setting up routers is easy pie.
.....now data structures, on the other hand, I'm not doing so well in. I figure I'll fail (or get a D, which is the same thing). These things happen. I'll just have to suck it up, ignore the complaining from my father, and try again. Though not at DVC, I think I'll save that one for Chico (which, if you didn't know, I'm trying to get into). From what I hear from my prof, he'll be teaching it in Java next semester. I, for one, am not looking forward to doing queus with references.
On to more exciting things! (well, maybe not) So I figure I'll have a month free to do whatever the hell I want, so I think it's about damn time I got around to actually doing something with my website (http://xenith.org/). If anyone has any design suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them. Visual design isn't my strongpoint, I'll tell you that much. I mean, just look at the site now. It looks like I puked on my monitor. :)

Wow. Apparently there is wireless access in my CSC class!
Sadly, we appear to have a nazi netadmin. All ports but 80 seem to be blocked. :(
Anyone know of a http AIM client? :)
(damnit, I can't ssh into my computers back at home, what a crock!)

Ok, I missed class on Tuesday, so I don't know how I did on the first midterm. :)
Took the second one tonight. I'll do well if everyone else in the class fucks it up. Gotta love the curve. ;-)
I had to skip all the questions on binary trees (there were a lot of them, god DAMN), because I couldn't remember a damn thing about binary trees.....other than they are...well...trees of two.
But now I'm going to bitch. What the *fuck* happened to the 33 multiple choice and true/false questions he promised us?! That damned test was 50 questions, ALL CODE! Fucker. :)

Did I just volunteer to be on the Board of Directors for sbay.org? What the hell was I thinking?
On a side note.....did I just actually study for, and pass my mitderm? What the hell was I thinking?
On another side note....am I actually contemplating studying for *and passing* my second midterm? What, am I becomming a fecking student or something? And doing my homework too! Yikes!
Next thing you know I'll actually be socializing with people, and maybe even find companionship and/or love! (ok, so maybe not that last one ;-)
I even sent my resume off to a company (kinda) the other day too. I must be sick. Or maybe a pod person took over my body.
Yea, that's it. I'm a pod person. Gotta be.

Oh, for all you wondering about that paper I was supposed to write....well, I never got it written. It was for photography. If I drop that class, it doesn't matter anyways! Eh? Eh?

Well, I finally got around to making my counselling appointment down at school. I'm probably going to end up applying to CSU Chico as well as Cal Poly and Cogswell. After seeing Chico, I really would love to go there. I could spend days at a time in the wilderness surrounding Chico......gets me moist just thinking about it. :)
So it looks like I'm probably going to drop photography. Being as behind as I am in my other classes, plus having *2* programming classes (one being data structures), I don't have enough time this semester to run around in the mountains snapping B&W photos. What do you people think? Should I drop it?
On the geekier side of things, I've got apache mostly figured out, and subversion all set up. For all you geeks, you *must* look at subversion. It's so much better than CVS. And no, you don't *need* apache to set up a subversion repository either.
Next up on the list....bind! Anyone wanna help me figure *this* fat pig out?

It's happened again. I'm getting way behind in my schoolwork, and missing lots of classes.
This always seems to happen. Though I'm not too surprised.
Time to get this train back on track!
I try and post every now and then, but honestly. Who the hell wants to read about my boring-ass life? :)

No, I haven't died. Yet. I'm still around.
Sorry I haven't posted latly, but like I said at the start, I wasn't going to post here much. I do actually post on my home-brew blog every now and then though. Might wanna go look there sometime. ;-)
Anyways, currently I'm on the last day of my vacation. I'm so dissapointed. It was a blast not having to go to work for 1 and a half weeks. I had a very relaxing time too. I feel *much* better. Also, I finally got around to reorganizing my network. It's almost perfect now. It's amazing what a little free time will do.
Other than that, there really is not much to report on. My life has gotten really boring lately. Not even a female to spice things up. ;-)
Oh well. Time to try and sleep.

Damnit, I was going to say something, but I've forgotton what it was. :)
But in other news, some random girl who used to live 1 city over from me ICQed me the other day. We struck up a conversation (lord knows why), and it seems we actually have rather similar tastes, and she seems rather cool.
It's too bad she's had a couple bad experiences with meeting people over the internet. Ah well, who needs friends anyways. ;-)
Oh, yes, and I'm just so damn bored lately.

No, I haven't died. I've just been busy as fuck. We get audited on Monday (well, I guess that would be today....in 8 hours even!) at work. I'm not looking forward to it at all. On the plus side.....er, no, wait. There is no plus side. :)
In other news, I think I need to find new friends. It seems the toastmuffin group has died, at least from my perspective (because I live 3 and a half hours away). Though that might be hard, as I usually tend to avoid contact with the other students at my school. And I think they tend to avoid contact with me too. Though that comes as no surprise. I've got that "Go away or I shall taunt you a second time!" aura going on. ;-)
Uhh....topic change!
Lately I've really been wondering what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. There is no way in hell I'm going to finish school, or even finish the transfer requirements so I can get into a decent college. So I'm rather confused at the moment on what to do. Where to go. Who to see. All that jive. Mostly I think it's because of my parents. I'm sure you all know the drill. They insist you go to college, get a degree, and magically get a job that pays $100k/year and live happily ever after.
Yea right.
So I've got them pushing me from one side, and I've got my completely lack of motivation pushing me from the other side. And I'm stuck right in the middle. On the plus side, I do believe that if I can get the hell away from them, I might be able to fix this mistake. But that's not going to happen for a while. I don't make *nearly* enough money to move out. :)
So, frankly, I honestly have no fucking clue what the hell I'm going to do, what I should be doing, and what I'm not doing. And it's annoying. :-/

Well, a post christmas roundup is probably required around here, so I best get to it.
8am:
Got woken up by over-eager father. Grumbled a bit, put on robe, and stumbled downstairs for previously mentioned crappy presents. Did the family thing for a couple hours.
10am:
Back on IRC.
3pm:
Extended family comes over, open more presents. Not so crappy this time. Rake in $400.
4:30pm:
Head down to Warehouse to use my recently aquired gift card. Bought 2 CDs. BT and Lo Fidelity Allstars.
5:15pm:
Back home for dinner. Good dinner.
6:30pm:
Extended family leaves. World rejoices.
10:30pm:
Went in hot tub for an hour. Managed to maintain meditation most of the time, only slipping out twice.
11:50pm:
Am now here writing to you goobers. :)
13:87bm:
Killed by Orcs. Stupid Orcs.
Still not king yet.
So, that was pretty much my day. Despite the annoyance of being the only non-Christian in a Christian family, it went pretty well. The presents weren't really all that crappy, despite my earlier comments. Mostly clothes, granted, but a few gems. Like gift certificates and that $400 from the relatives. ;-) Plus my parents are offering to buy me a new light meter (or a new camera, if I can get them to go for it) for my photography class next semester.
Speaking of photography, I've *really* been getting into it again lately. Nature photography is, of course, my gig. Hopefully I'll be able to make a career out of it too. At least a side career. I hope to be the next Ansel Adams. Now that would just make my....uhh....century. If anyone feels like looking at the photos I already have taken (well, those I've taken the time to scan and post....I'm a lazy bastard), you can head over to http://jrocha.deviantart.com/ to see them. I wouldn't mind a few comments as well.
And now I'm getting ready for bed. Just clearing the rest of my mind out by writing down my thoughts. I came into this week stressed as hell, and kinda grumpy. Lack of sleep and too much work can do that to you. But I've caught up on sleep and cleared my head the past 2 days, so I'm nice and happy again. I'm sure my coworkers will appreciate that. Meditation is amazing.
But all in all, a rather satisfying day. True, everyone is a bastard for not being on IRC while I was bored during the late morning/afternoon, but otherwise I couldn't have hoped for anything more. And that hot tub just topped it all off.
Now, if you'll pardon me, I'm going to go wait for the rain to come.....a tad more meditation is in order, I believe.

The amusing antics of Outlaw Golf |
] |
So, I'm sitting here in Davis in Wizzard's appartment, watching the two of them (Wizzard and Bob) play Outlaw Golf. ("Grease me down!") While it's amusing for a little bit, the animations get old, and thus I'm very very bored. So I decided to post. :)
So, Tonal Control is the final name, and it seems that rjoseph has joined the (Edit: Inserting a word) team. And it's been decided. C++ *and* perl. :) So it should be a very fun project. ("She's a regular par slut!") I'll keep you all updated as we move along. Maybe eventually get an actual website and domain for it and release it to the public. Then again, maybe not. ("Gimmie back my nipples!") :)
Anyways, I'm tired as all hell. I just can't sleep because I get to crash on the couch tonight, and of course, they're still busy playing Outlaw Golf.....and we have to drive up to Kirkwood tomorrow......oi, I'm *so* not driving in the morning. ("I'm so good only I can touch me!")
That's all for now, and ignore those Outlaw Golf quotes. :)
