The Events that are: My Life

So I realized that I forget to post info about my trip. Well, my trip was good. Great in fact. The server flop like it did last year. I had a great time, got a sun tan burn. Went water skiing and tubing. Went to Elitches and Water World. Pictures will be posted soon.

Now on to some other things. I’ve edited some of the content, taking out items that I didn’t care for anymore, mostly because they were old. I also took the liberty of revamping some of the graphics.  So really minor things here and there.

As a note for people you are interested in web development, or more specifically Content Managment Systems (CMS), I’ve finally completed my version. If your interested in using it, let me know!

So far the computer has been faring my vacation pretty well. I’ve been having fun here in Colorado. I went paintballing (see Part II of this post) the other day and had a great time. Perhaps the only downside thus far would be my vomit attack. I was feeling queesy all day and then…BAM! BAM! BAM! I vomited 3 times…missing the any sort of containment device each time. I figured it could be one of four things:

1) The Flu

2) Food poisining

3) West Nile Virus

4) E coli

I figured it was most likely #2 becuase it was onle a 24 epidemic. 1, 3, and 4 would have lasted much longer than 24 hours.

——PART II——

So I went paintballing the other other day up at my family’s land in Estes Park. I had great fun shooting people and giving them rather large welts. However, it was only my own welts that I have captured for now. Perhaps I will be able to post the other later. Have fun.

This is the follow up to “When good sparklers go bad”. As promised, I have put the video up!. Note: this is not the raw footage, this is edited footage. I’m going to invest in some sort of video editing suite now that I have my FireWire Card. So this will have to hold you over for now. If you’ve seen the edited footage and thinking that it is pretty good…well…let’s just say that your going to be for a ride.

I’m taking a course at the UW on Robo-golf. It’s really pretty cool. It’s a shortened version of 463. We do everything they do, but in only two weeks. We also don’t use/develop any wireless protcals or use/develop any visual information.

What do you get if you tape 100 sparklers together with duct tape? Well, that’s what Peter attempted today in my backyard. Following the “advice” of Sparkley Bombs, Peter, along with myself, Quinn, Darren, Andy, and Charlie, began assembling our device.

After wrapping all the sparklers together very tightly, we proceded to the backyard to explode our new toy. With video tape rolling, Peter lit the fuse. Ten seconds later…all hell broke loose.

Upon closer inspection with the video tape, we determined that the bomb had a blast radius of about 30 feet…in all directions…including up.

The sound that it produced was enough to wake the neighbors’ baby, no suprise there. We also managed to cause several calls, although not to our house. Our backyard neighbor reported that several people had called her house asking, “What the hell are you kids doing?”

All in all, it was awsome. Within the next week or so, we all plan on aquiring more sparklers. This should be fun…

Note: video will be posted ASAP, pending the arrival of my FireWire Card

In a bit of reminiscence I have managed to resurect the Original Starbase 156. Oh the days of yonder past…

*sigh*

As a side note, nothing on http://www.andrewferguson.net/starbase156/ really applies now, so don’t try and hold be responsible for anything!

Well, school is finially out…and network TV still hasn’t gotten the word. So here I lay, working on my website, waiting for public schools to get out. I just got back from Graduation, I am officially now a Senior. So start the clock, 365 days from today, I will be done. Wow, that’s really rather scarry. Check back soon for the official count down clock.

Wow.

Soda pop is incredible sweet. Today is Easter (Happy Easter), which also happens to mark the end of Lent. So, I drank a can of DP, it was very sweet, literally and figuritive. It was good though.

I just got back lastnight from a great week in Mexico. I’m going to get my film developed very shortly, so look for some awsome pictures very shortly.

Also, today marks the T minus one week and counting mark until Easter (aka, I can drink pop again). It has been a very long and painful process, especially since I “quit” cold turkey. But I’m almost done. :yes

So it’s been a little while since my last update. So here are all the things that have happened:

3.25.2003 – I had a pediatric hernia, not a hernia. This is good becuase my recovery time is cut my 2/3rds.

3.27.2003 – I went into surgery today. Had my pediatric hernia removed. Good stuff. Thanks again to all the folks at Children’s Hospital and RMC.

3.30.2003 – Registration for new users banned following the abuse of the fourms.

That’s pretty much it for now. It’s been a slow two weeks. But that’s good. I’m leaving for Mexico this Saturday, so I won’t be back for 8 days.
