heh. yea so my friends have “caught” me. busted for sure:

REXML could not parse this XML/HTML: 
<blockquote><small>

[@vanwinkle] is harper giving up blogging?
[clock] yeah I think so its been forever
[@vanwinkle] whatever happened to three post per day minumum?
[@scottv] he got a job </small></blockquote> So basically I have been just chilling out hard. not doig anything. I get home and I don’t play computer or anything. I really should. I have so many projected that I should finish. they would be easy. and I could make some quick cache. but oh no. I just sit around. and read. I think that is all I have done in my house the last couple months. that and play video games. I lead the life of a philosophy student/stoner. except I don’t smoke. heh. and I am not lame. oh wait. ummm. yea.

hmmm lets see. the last time I updated my blog was in 1983. what has happened since. well I graduated elementry school and moved on to middle school. I saw david bowie. umm. what else.

i need a mirror so I can see when people are entering my cube. it is killing me. I keep “feeling” movement and it is destroying my life. I keep snapping my head around and I am starting to get a neck ache. ;)

anyway. a bunch of fun stuff has happened since I last posted. nata2.info stills pulls a BUNCH of bandwidth. as of today it has pulled about 691.66777 gigabytes in october. wtf. that is 2350920 hits and 249529 pageviews. roughly 39057 visits. heh. that rules. I have conceptually had my entire home town visit my website. almost. well not really at all. but a town of almost 39k. hah. stupid numbers. also on the popular site front - the falaphilia site peaked with 24353 visits in one day and has dropped to less than 150 in a week. We were mentioned on numerous news sites and got quite a bit of blog coverage. it was pretty nuts. I like it when the internet is awesome.

i wonder what will be next. I got some ideas. but I need something to help me execute them. possibly time. haha. that is why we just subscribed to direct tv. I am going legit. I did however hack the shit out of my tivo. so now I get all the fancy backdoors and such - but I am a legit subscriber (of both tivo and dtv - wtf). It was pretty fun to do. I didn’t have to do any of the hard stuff. the directivo scene has everything pretty solid. the hacks I applied are as follows: upgraded my drive to 160gb (120 usable), upgraded the OS to 4.0whatever (found on emule w00t - supports wireless internet updating and such native), enabled telnet, tivoweb, ftp, mfs_ftp, tytools and all that jazz, unscrambled the recordings and applied a couple misc hacks for good measure(perm 30 sec skip). It is a nice device now (whereas before it sucked??). I can’t wait until I get the streaming from the tivo working. I will be able to watch my shows from my computer - while matt or matiss are playing video games. after times like this I remember how awesome I am. haha. I rule.

so saturday - we went to see suzanne and co at Y bar. but the doors were closed so we waited outside until amjad and friends shoed up for some soundbar action. we hung out a bit. then we went to crobar. where it was madness. Hiromi and I ended up riding the train home at 6:30am. hah. rule. here are the pictures. then last night, matiss and I, juggled at a film fest for rusty nails. it ruled. I got real real tired. we made zombie clothes by cutting up old clothes - then taking them outside and burning them. it was awesome. the show went really good. check out the pictures here.

i am now going to get my vote on. my absentee vote. cuz my work is sending me to salt lake city for training. it will be pretty interesting. I have never been there - and I imagine that it is pretty crazy. crazy like a church. I will have to bring a couple books. what is crazy is my life starting on friday. first I leave for nyc to hang with some friends. I am really excited. then I have crazy parties. then I fly from nyc to cincinnati at 6am, then from cincinnati to salt lake at 8:40am. haha. keep in mind that I am going to a halloween party on sunday that will go until late. hah. I am screwed. luckily I have a cross country flight and won’t be in meetings until the afternoon session. I will also be able to catch up on my rest. w00t.

my friend angus lent me his newton pda. I am pretty excited. I am going to review it and post my findings on 3gcoding. I want a miniture phone. give me one.
