    Pondering....

    the thing I never understood about movies and tv shows, is when they go to burn something by pouring gasoline on it, why do they always use an entire book of matches? wouldn't one match accomplish the same thing with minimal waste?

    October 17th

    It's been 8 years since Jen Allie and Jen occurred.... Dede, who I went to highschool with for Freshman Year... died a couple weeks ago... very sad.... I still can't believe it's been that long.... I think the total of those who have died while in school, or classmates who have passed after school are:


    • Jeff Still             February 25, 1997 *

    • Jenni Lynn Anderson    October 17, 1997

    • Allie Matzdorf         October 17, 1997

    • Jennifer Roberts       October 17, 1997

    • Erin Dennis            January 1999

    • George Terrazas        January 29, 1999

    • Krishna Bharadwaj      April 16, 1999

    • Kari Loder             August 2000

    • Matt Laurich           April 8, 2002 *

    • Michael E. Van Dyke    August 28, 2005

    • Dede Woytowych         September 29, 2005

    If anybody has either Kari Loder's or Erin Dennis' information, let me know. Or if there's somebody else that should be on the list.


    I'll post about work and school tomorrow.


    Notes:
    * means they were a teacher.

    ITunes

    Well Apple released the Video Ipod a couple days ago, on Wednesday, in case anybody didn't know... so there's been an update to the Itunes software, it's now at Version 6, that supports Videos. Currently there are only 5 different shows on ITunes for purchase. They are as follows:


    • Desperate Housewives

    • Lost

    • Night Stalker

    • The Suite Life

    • That's So Raven


    And, I have since downloaded only Night Stalker, seeing as though I've already seen All of the Dsperate Housewives episodes. And My brother has purchased Lost, because he missed an episode. My brother also purchased a Video Ipod.... 60 Gigabyte Black. Which is what I plan to purchase for myself come next spring... Maybe at the point they will have 80 gig ones... we'll see...


    The quality of the video is not the same that you can procure off of torrent sites. But it's not meant to be...


    The shows are $1.99 per episode... so it is actually cheaper to purchase an entire season off of ITunes than it is to purchase the DVD set. The best part of the episodes on ITunes is that you can get them the day after they are shown on Television.... interesting way that Steve Jobs has done this....

    Website Update

    I worked on getting the search function working for both the books and dvds, so that's up and running. Try it out and let me know if something doesn't work.

    New Webserver

    Well I've moved my website to a new webserver, it's an older computer but it will work well.... I think I've got everything working, if something's not let me know. The address hasn't changed, just the computer it was running on... I may upgrade this to a different computer again at some point, but for now it's staying.

    Battlefield 2

    Well today EA Games released the Battlefield 2 1.03 patch. This patch has ruined the integrity of the game by automatically giving all players at least 1 undue promotion. I have seen some people get upwards of 5 promotions in 1 round. This is completely unfair rto those of us who were trying to get additional points to make it to the next level. Yes the difference between the upgrades was a tad too much, but it made people work for it. Now you get a promotion without even trying to do anything... which I think is a bunch of shit. I don't know how long I will be playing Battlefield 2, because of this patch. And, now it seems as though one hit and you're killed, yet I can never seem to hit anybody even with a good weapon... oh well... just something else not to do anymore...
