Your Questions, Answered

I was reading through the comments that people have made, and noticed that many are questions. So, I decided I will answer them. What does that mean for you? Well, unless you’re Scott (or “not scott”) nothing. If you are Scott, then it means your questions will be answered.

Mind posting the SC4 ser*al you found?

No, I will not post the SC4 ser*al I had. I got the ser*al to try SC4 to make sure it would run acceptably on my ibook. It doesn’t, so I will not be buying the game, and I have destroyed the ser*al number and cds that I had. However, I will commend your bravery, as you are the first person to ask me for it, out of literally hundreds that have come looking.

also, you should add a few of blog links to your link page. Like ones you read usually. This would involve your friends, or other good ones.
Scott | 11.24.03 – 7:36 pm

What?
Ok, after asking him for more detail, Scott just wants more links on my websites links page. I can do that, expect them by Saturday.

You know, it ratings month Can we expect something special by yours truly?

No, you can not MOM!

rest holes? dont you mean rust?
Scott | 11.11.03 – 8:48 pm

Yes, yes I did. But, you got the point right? So is doesn’t really matter.

back, yes. But better than ever?
Scott | 10.31.03 – 6:38 pm

How else would I be? (That was a rhetorical question, don’t answer. Yes, better than ever, and better than I will ever be in the future, except that one time with the thing in the thing with the thing, you know.)

I believe those bugs are refered to as “stink bugs.” Do they give off a bad smell?
Scott | 10.10.03 – 12:17 am

No, they are Japanese Lady Beetles.

Wow, that Scott is pretty awesome. And since I am not Scott, it shows alot that I mention it. That is my comment.
not Scott | 09.30.03 – 2:29 am

Yes, it does show a lot to mention his awesomness. And yes, Scott is the opitimy of awesomitude!

So there, your questions answered. Ask me more, and I will answer more.

I reached my 500th visitor. Scott tried for it, but didn’t quite make it. He got 498. 500 goes to John Pauwel, owner of that sad Christmas Tree. Congratulations John.

What else…

I am editing my old posts, so they don’t contain a certain searched for word. I changed the words to s*m c*ty ser*ial. Only that third word was left, and only in certain circumstances. Will see how well it deters the poopoo heads.

BTW, poo.com is available. Hmmm… No.

After this post, only 5 more till I have as many iblog posts as Blogger posts. Actually, just three if you count the 2 tests. Yeah, i think I will. So three more posts will put us at next Friday? I think so. I hould play with the categories… Weird to have 3 categories with one only having 2 posts, kind of a waste.

I will try and get those links up over the weekend, between cleaning up my room and doing homework.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Close, Too Close

Well, it’s 11:14 at night, and I looked over at buddy list, saw scott, and somehow that reminded me it’s blog night. So, here I am.

After looking at old invoices and boxes, and from what I can remember, between November 3rd and 5th was 1 year since my 7600 died, and December 5th will be 1 year since I bought the iBook. Things have changed in the last year, beyond the computer even. With the moving, and the parents and all that, It’s been a long year.

I did some more updating to the website on the pics page. John’s tree is funny.

School is sucking more than ever. C++ and Java just get harder and more frustrating. Glad I only have 6 credits for next semester, I royally need a break. At least the end of the year is just a few weeks away.

Ok, I need sleep, been worn out for like 2 weeks now, need to try to fix it somehow. Maybe Thanksgiving break will help.

Til Wednesday,

Fun, Fun, Fun

Well, I was playing on ibook and, long story short, I screwed up. Just got done with re-installing the OS. Wont do that again.

I also learned that its just not possible to install linux on a Powerbook 5300. Not easily anyway. I tried several different methods, but it just didn’t want to work.

After the 400th visitor fiasco, I am glad to say that the 1000th page view went much better. Yes, Nicholas Suchyta was the 1000th page view.

No more movies recently. Still going for T3, and Bruce almighty comes out next week.

School is going ok. I told my Java teacher why I am falling behind, and he completely understood. Java and Obj. Oriented C++ is alot. Next semester will be lighter.

And uhm, thats it.
yeah.

Til Sunday,

As the Battery Looms

I am typing this unplugged. My battery gage was acting goofy, so I am discharging it. At 18%, 50 minutes remaining.

I made some updates to the website (that none of you look at anyway) but nothing big. Mostly added some pics that were hiding, nothing much. I will do the library page when I clean my room and can get to my book shelf, but not now.

I was going to just sit here and type whatever came to mind, but I don’t feel like it now. Oh well. I kinda did last time, since thats how the sock was written, just by going on about whatever, without thinking. Some other time.

Uhm, well, I have been kinda sick. And, uhm, yeah.

Well, I guess thats it. I can’t think of much else to say.

Nope, nothing

Yeah.

Ok,
til Thursday.

TGIF

Ok, so it wasn’t a bad week or anything, but still, maybe is more of a TGIF for you?

Anyway, went to casino last night with mom and Suchyta. Suchyta puts a quarter in a machine, gets 3 7s, wins $0 because was only 1 coin. Puts in 3 coins a few times, and it came back! 300 coins, so $75. My mom gave him some, as it was her coins. Fifteen minutes later I put a $.50 coin in machine, same thing, triple 7s and got nothing because 1 coin. Put some more coins in and it came back, $75, mom gave me like $30 of it.

Wednesday night I got a Zip 250 drive. I hooked it up to computer with my Zip100, and made a dual zip raid array. God I need a life. Better than dude who used 5 floppies though, right? Good news is I was going through Zip disks and found one of them had some stuff saved from 7600, so I got some old docs from school and stuff that I thought was lost.

I worked today, possibly last day of season. Possibly last day ever, if I get a better job over winter (HINT HINT GM, IBEW!).

I just noticed I hit 400 visitors. Sadly it was some dumb shit searching on google, probably for ser*al numbers. Bastards, LOOK ON LIMEWIRE, THEY’RE ALL THERE! Idiots.

Ok, I think thats good for now.

“the Sock” moved to “Stories” section.

Must be Movie Week

Sunday night, I watched Holy Grail, Monday night was Mall Rats, Last Night was the Hulk and Finding Nemo, this afternoon I saw the Matrix Revolutions, and after the blog I will be watching the Italian Job.

Matrix was awesome. I would call it the lesser of the three, but still better than most other movies that come out. Best fight seen of the trilogy though.

I have HTML tomorrow. That’s good, because I couldn’t handle a real class. I arrived in C++ yesterday to find out there was a test. She didn’t feel she needed to tell us because it was on the syllabus. I think a reminder would have been nice, and I’m sure my grade will back me up.

Suchyta has a blog now. It’s so small and cute. There’s only one post, so looks funny. Will grow with time.

My visitors are now by a good majority people who are looking for ser*al numbers and found one of the blog pages by google. It’s sad, I have like 5 hits a day now and I don’t really want them, because their all morons looking on websites for ser*als. LOOK ON LIMEWIRE DUMB SHITS!

Ever see the commercial for SC Johnson talking about family tradition and such? You realize ALL of SC Johnson’s major consumer products (Ziploc, Glade, and Pledge) are products that they BOUGHT from DOW? Family tradition my ass, acquiring good products and calling them your own. Try inventing something of your own schmucks.

Ok, I got nothing else. Time for Italian Job. Go away now.

nick

Don’t mind me, just passing through, going about my business.
What is my business?

Close One

Wow, I finally get blog back up, and almost forgot to post already. Must be that not posting for a week thing having it’s effect.

Lets start with saying my HTML teacher is kinda hot. Well, for an almost-40-Delta-professor, she is hot. Hell, most students at Delta aren’t all that.

I bought “The Art of Deception” by Kevin Mitnick today. Hope to start at least browsing through it soon. For any of you who don’t know who he is, just google him.

It’s raining, and I am bored. I cant think of anything to write, so I am babbling.

Ever notice that birds are always coupled? PAIRakeets, cockaTWO… weird.

I wonder how long this blog will go on. How do you stop a blog anyway? Do you just, stop? Or do you increase the time between updates exponentially, til there just aren’t any more?

Hmm.

I am sure I will get tired of blogging at some point, just not sure when. Oh well, it’s not today.

I decided it is the Mexican’s fault that instructions are so bad. Don’t get me wrong, I have many friends that are Mexican (well, 1, but you need to understand I don’t have many friends anyway). Anyway, if not for the Mexican’s needing bilingual instructions, there would be only english in the book, and thus they could give twice the explanation they do now. I guess, its the damn Canadians fault too, for needing French. I do hate the French. Bastards.

So another thing I was thinking, is that I must not have a life, that I sit here and write this blog. But then, I realized that you all sit and read this blog. I feel better now.

Ok, thats all til Wednesday. Matrix Revolutions comes out Wednesday. Cool.

bye,
nick

In life, the winner is the guy who is frugal for 80 years, and saves all his money, even if it means being teased by friends. Then, when the friends die, he buys all their cool stuff for cheap at the estate sale. That’s who the winner is… Yeah…

I'm Back!

I fixed it!

When I wiped HD to install Panther, I wasn’t aware that iblog store original text in a system file that I was supposed to back up. Luckily I had backed up whole HD to cds about a month ago. So I have spent last week learning Panther, fixing blog, etc…

Panther is soooo cool. Jason, Nick: I installed Toast today, so can duplicate disks over weekend. Panther is the reason Windows users switch over. Wow, just wow.

Having not had a posted blog for a week I forgot to mention the car was fixed. Well, the brakes were fixed. Still plenty wrong with it.

Ok, the way I see it merely POSTING a blog is quite a bit, so thats all for now.

No quote, but ALL quotes will be put on a page, for reference.

And comments may be erased, as I needed to repost last 30 days of posts, which were the ones commented. Sorry…

Til Sunday,
nick

Panther is Cool

Well, the blog is still broke, so you can’t read this, but I am still here.

I know the problem, and if you can see this, then I have fixed it.

Panther is awesome, just find more and more cool features. Apple’s statement of 150 new features is certainly an understatement. Expose, desktop printing, easier app switching, fast user switching, classic menu item, and so much more.

I am getting re-settled in. Most of my apps and docs are re-installed, only a few less used items remain.

I want to go back to Somerset by end of year. Walk around and see whole mall. Is three stories, 2 buildings. I have only been in 1 building, maybe 7 stores total. Another thing I want to do is a BIG road trip. Probably next summer. Would be cool to buy a $500 beater and just drive till it dies. I don’t know, sounds cool to me.

OK, I can’t think of much else so I am going to work on fixing blog again.

later,
nick

If you can’t say something nice, make sure whatever you do say is muttered under your breath

Woohoo

I got my check. And guess what…

It was for full $2500!

Delta said it would be for $1250 because they split the MEAP award over two semesters, but I got it all! Problem is, I need to attempt to restrain paying too many bills, because I need to save some to pay for delta next semester.

One problem: I got check just before class, class was 4 – 6, and bank closed at 5. So I am sitting here with the check and never got it cashed. Tomorrow morning I guess.

Three days till Panther! Some people have reported it having been shipped, but few are saying this, and we will see when they arrive. Mine is listed as “open” with 2 day shipping, so should go out tomorrow. Hope it arrives before we leave Friday, would be cool to show up to Apple Store running Panther before the schmucks in line can even buy it.

Next Thursday (the 31st) I finally start my HTML class. Should be easy, I mean, it’s HTML. The other classes are going fine.

Ok, off to dream of what to do with my money. I am going to Apple Store this week, and G5 starts at a mere $1999…

And Friday update will be fairly early, will post before we go to Troy. May update the post when we get home.

Till friday,
nick

HEY! I am running out of quotes, seriously!
And use the comments or lose them, having all those (0)s is a bit of a downer.
