Oh, how the time goes by

That was last update from Starbase 156, the website I had before this. It was just about two and half years ago, the end of my sophmore year in high school. Looking back, I sometimes long for those days, but then I’m reminded how far I’ve come. Five more months left until I graduate…then 4 more years. I’m stuck in a place between
While the words we not as sweet as those from CSM, they were welcome just as much: congratulations!! you’ve been offered conditional admission for fall 2004 to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. And yes, they didn’t capitalize “congradulations!!” or “you’ve.” You can see for yourself if you don’t believe me. Added a my eHarmony profile and Christmas List. You can find both under “Sections.” This is a going to be a two part post: Some of you know must be wondering why this are a bunch of N’s mixed in with Now on to Longhorn, if you know what Longhorn is, then you probably also I went to the R.E.I. Garage sale this morning, got some nice stuff. Anyways, I managed to forget my cell phone at home. When I got home, I was checking my messages. Then I came accross this message. Now there are two flavors: R and PG. Pick the one you want. I shouldn’t have to tell you that the “R” one has swearing and the “PG” one has the swearing taken out, which kind of sounds funny in and of itself. In any event, I thought it was sort of interesting. I couldn’t track the call, but I’m working on it. However, I managed to find out what it was. For those of you familiar with non-classical music, a field which I am not well versed, you might happen to recognize the message as Tenacious-D’s Drive Thru. I began work on a new joint venture project between myself and Peter. Essentially, it’s a Warren Miller Film. Is it a knock-off. No. I would say more of a tribute. The guys is genius, from his poetic narriation to his artistic camera work. This project will be totally unique. I won’t say much more now except that it will be about Boundaries, and it’s going to be cool. Really quite incredibly mind blowing awsomly cool. I am reminded time and time again about the main philosophy of my website: “To help myself develop an automated website.” Yes, it sounds somewhat egotistical, and in fact, it sort of is, but hey, it’s my site, my rules. In any event, I added yet another feature, “how many people are online?”. Just scroll to the bottom of this page and you can see how many people are online. At some point, I may include some IP resolving to determine where the people are, but for know, just take heart that you know who is looking on with you. Also, for those of you who couldn’t figure out what that random code at the bottom of the website is, is a hex version of your IP address. Just try it: http://0x3f.0xe2.0xda.0x8e. I finally got around to coding the “New Update” Feature. When you see an asterisk (*) next to the navigation link, that means that the section has been updated within the last week. On a separate note, I thought this comic was pretty good: We ordered Direct TV with a built-in TiVo recorder on Sunday. We waited for the installer guy to come out and he wanted to install a mast for the dish for an exorbitant amount of money. Yea. I don’t think so. So I took to installing the dish myself. Succesfully completing it in record time. The quality is at least 2 or 3 times better then Cable, plus we don’t get any ghost signals. I now also get TechTV which is pretty cool. The only downside is that we can’t use the HomeMedia Option becuase Direct TV is afraid that we might start pirating movies or something. I am currently looking for a work around. Let me know if you have any ideas.Two down, CalTech to go

DNA and Longhorn
First, I got my DNA results back.
No, I’m not suffering from any sort of ailment, in fact, the DNA that I had
profiled as part of my BioTech course was “Junk” DNA, more specifically, mtDNA.

the standard G,T, A, and C’s. The N’s are just places where the machine could
not determine what the DNA was, a typical occurence in tests of this type.
heard about the conference Microsoft had today to discus it. Thus far, it is all
the rumors said it would be. WinFS appears to be the biggest issue, and a great
idea to boot, especially since it’s based on XML, which might allow more
cross-platform portability. However, a comment Gates made does worry me a bit.
From MSNBC.com,
Gates is paraphrased as saying Longhorn will have “integrated telephone
services.” This could be a good thing, if encompases some sort of answering
machine type device. But if it relates to internet…well, I don’t know. It
would have also been good to see some mention of Voice-over-IP.Phone call

Oh! That’s so cool!
