Weekly Report (Well that was intersting....)

Okay, for those of you in the know, know that power was interrupted by a spot of wind last week.

At the moment, I have two extra peoples living at my residence because they have no power, no hot water, and internet.

The Christmas Concert that was suppose to take place this last weekend was canned do to no power and as of this moment, my church is still without power. So...

No real developments from last week to report. Amendments may be added...

Oh, right. The first full day of blackout, we (The infamous We) went to Kent Station to watch a movie...that's the short version. Long version involves a long wait, a closed theater and a sold-out show. And we had food at a Johnny Rockets; it was pretty good food, but they were extremely busy.

Anyways, later.

2006-12-10

Okay...I'm not busy (AKA Update of the Week)

Time for this weeks update:

Christmas Production #1: DONE! (See amended notes for details)
Christmas Production #2: Standing by
Christmas Production #3: Also Standing by
Maya Project (UB): In works. Need to finish UVing and then translate them to other models.
Writing: Hmm...about that...
LAN Party: Being finalized.
Firefly Watching Party: In development


Christmas Production #1: They say that Murphy's Law is that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. O'Neill's Theorem is that Murphy was an optimist. O'Neill was right.

Okay, first: Snow. The big snow last week (well, two weeks now technically) canned the Tech Practice. Okay, fine...we're still good...

Next...The big Saturday one...many, many things go wrong on the Sound and light side (by the way, I do Video) and it's delayed for a bit. Oh, and one of our cameras isn't back from the shop. Okay, it's a pain, but we can live with it...

Tuesday/Dress practice. Apparently, the camera we were waiting for isn't back still...but it was a good practice. Things are looking up. Lights took awhile, but it's done. A new head (part of the tripod) for one of the cameras and a unipod (monopod) for the remote camera arrive (YAY) and they are working good.

Thursday/Make up Tech. Okay. We're in a bad situation. Camera is back, but it lacks the color green. For the non techies...that's a non good thing. An anti-good thing. Think Zombie vision. That's what it looked like. We're cut to two cameras, so we have to redo our tech script. Sigh. It's a pain, but we'll struggle through it.

Friday/First Show: We're hosed. Seriously. The lightboard's CPU (see life/heart/brain) burned out. So all the lights are gone. We rent a board and Adam spends the day redoing all the lights. Note that people have been driven to the edge doing lights with our setup. We managed to get everything reset for a fifteen minute delayed show. Sigh. Wow, you think.

Saturday was better but it was still out of sorts. This time though, we had drained the problem bucket dry. No real issues and a decent show. All in all, a nice Christmasy thing.

Thank God that's all behind me. Oh wait...two more shows (School and Concerts)...

Pirate Day! Arrrrr!



My pirate name is:


Black Jack Flint



Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

To the Edge of Sanity...And Back Again?

Okay, recent events at my internship/church forced me to go where no Mes have gone before.
I had to go...to the Mac Store.
Horrifing, isn't it?

The G5, which I have crashed on occassion, died. It died a smelly, sudden death by power supply.

For those of you that have had this happen to them, you know what that could mean...but nevermind, back to the story.

So, yesterday when it died, we were discussing what to do, and we called up the Apple Support People. Well, I got to talk to them...and the only thing worse than having to get IT support from someone that doesn't know the machine, and who is simuataneously trying to sell you something, is when that someone is doing it in a really thick accent.

Anyways, the adventure continues, when today, after I was told that by my "supervisor" "Kevin", he would take care of the whole thing, it turns out that he didn't, in fact have time, so I had to. And I found this out at 1400 (2:00 PM)

Now, in order to better detail what happens next, I'm going to have breach my identiy just a bit: I live in western Washington, in Central to East King County. Which meant that, after calling and figuring out where the parts were available, I had to go to Bellevue's mall, Bel-Square (or however it's spellt), from Renton. Which meant I-405. And anyone from around here will tell that the Devil's number isn't 666, but 405, or 520, or 167.

Anyways...so, I finally made it to the Mall, and entered. And almost instantly got lost, and drugged as I entered through Nordstrom. I managed to find a kiosk with direction, and finally, seeing as no giant penguin affliated with Grand Penguin Tux was coming to my aid, I entered...a new world.

I resisted running, but managed to lose a hundred dollars (US), which I should be recompensated soon, and eventally hauled in the forty pounds (US) of G5 into the store. Where, they told me that it should be done with tomorrow.

Anyways, that's to story. So now I ask the question: Is there a way to ctrl+Z going to the Mac Store, or do I need a shower and a fresh install?

Monthly Update: May

Okay, just so all my readers know:

-TBQelite's data has been returned via "Yatara". Don't ask.

-Having free time does wonders for your creativity.

-McDonalds really screwed up my order today. Ordered a BaconCheese Burger...and it came without the burger. Literally. There was no burger patty in it.

That's it.

Breaking News: Data being held hostage

I recently snapped.

It was a long time in coming, and many things factored in. However, I can do one thing about one of them: I kidnapped the data that was staying on my harddrives as a guest for TBQelite.

Here is the (incomplete) letter to him

So it happened. Your data is taking up too much of my hard drive space. So now instead of being given guest statis, it had being downgraded to hostage statis and well not be returned until you have met my demands.

I want:

-****** *******
-******
-******* ******** **** (********)
-* ******
-******
-*******'* *** **
-More ***** *** *****
-More ****** **** *****
-One ******* billion ******
-A *** party

You can exempt one from the list...

-Th3 3\/1l_ H4xx0r 0f d00/\/\1!!!11!11

lolz.

---

So...if TBQelite wants his precious data back, he better meet my demands or...I'll keep his data FOREVER!!!! Or until I really need space. :)

Spring Quarter

Day marks the day that Sring Quarter starts at BCC. And...I don't have much to do. I'm in one class that meets once a week, but hopefully I'll be getting an internship here at the college doing photoshop stuff.

Another reason to be angry at liberals

Okay, the congress voted today. Yeah sure, you say? So what, you say?

Well it has to with us. Bloggers.

They voted, and failed to pass, an act that would have excempted bloggers from following hundreds of of pages of rules by the FCC.

So...how well are you versed in FCC regs? I thought so; better get reading.

Double Standard? I don't see....*CRACK*

Well.

First, watch this. It's a WMV off of amazon.com.

Now than, presuming that you are too lazy to have seen it. I'll have a quick description for you:

Al Franken (infamious liberal radio-host) is pitching his book in a commmerical. He has three guys (all white btw) and he greets each one in turn and they talk briefly. the third guy that he greets is not a lib, but a right-winger. After a quick exchange in which this is revealed, Franken kicks him in the groin, and smashes a (painfully obivious) breakable stool over his head. Than one of the other guys breaks a bottle over his head. And everyone is laughing. Except me.

Now I'm all for humor, but imagine if Sean Hannity, or (god forbid) Michael Savage were to do something like that. The sheer amount of outrage coming from all the libs would make you forget that we were ever in a war in Iraq! Why is it, again and again, that we have to suffer these indignities while those prissy little *BLANK*s can get away with whatever they want?

Ah, SIA.

2005-10-12

Absolutely Not!

Okay...I was skimming Slashdot.org yesterday and I came across an article about some U.N./EU thing on the internet and stuff. I didn't get a chance to read it, but I figured that they were just whining again.

I was a bit off.

Apparently, they want the U.N. to take over the internet. As in, they would administer the root (primary) DNS servers. All I have to say about that is this:

TO HELL WITH THAT!!

Now, please note that I am referring to the actual place, which is a pit (metaphorically) of eternal suffering and stuff.

This jsut bring up a point I would like to make: The United States has been responsible for a number of things that have greatly benefited the world. I'll list three:

1. Panama Canal
2. GPS
3. The Internet

All three of these were invented by the US. All three greatly benefit the world. Does the world appreciate us for it? What do you think?

We handed over the Canal for some reason that I can't remember, but in all the history books in the other countries (France, Germany, so forth) do you think that they make a note that the US was so nice that we let anyone use it for virtually nothing? Sure there was as usage fee, but that for maintainance. Do you realize how much money these countries saved using our Canal?

And the GPS system. Virtually all the world's airplanes depend on it, but we made it. Do we get apprieciated for it?

And, of course, the internet. So the U.N. wants that too. Well, screw them. The U.N. doesn't need it. We made it, we own it. And if the rest of the world doesn't like it, they can do without until they make their own.

Something about being Tagged....

Okay, apparently I was tagged by Rabenstrange of The Rabenstranger Blog.

So here it is: Enough randomness.

Now than...on to business:

I tag TBQelite of TBQelite, Kate of Katespeak, Gerhalt of Gerhalt.com, EJB of Myfiendishlyfunnyblog, and Emily of Emilylick

(Note: Goto Rabenstranger for the rules.)

Also, I've been very busy with work lately and it isn't likely to to let up anytime soon, but hopefully I'll be able to squeeze out the remaining parts of my stories and post my first article in Depths of Twilight shortly. Hopefully.

Open Source

Yo.

I have a question for you: If you were offered something that would make your live much easier for a nominial fee, and a similar product that did everything the former one did , but for free, which one would you pick.

Here's a second question: Regardless of what you picked in the first question, should you have a choice?

Why am I asking this? Because some people would say no. Link to Slashdot Article.

And while I'm at it, I'd like to say this: If you make something that is your own, and you wish to sell it, go right ahead. However, if someone is giving something similar away, so what? If you are taking someone's money for a product, that product should be superior to the free one, simply because it is costing your customer something.

Wow. It's been a while.

No, I'm not dead, I just feel that way. Currently, I am rendering 900 frames in Maya after I had finished my Video Test and Assignment on the accursed Mac...and my photoshop test and project...

Yeah. I've been at school for more than twelve hours and I ain't leaving yet. I have to leave by midnight though.

In any case, it's on frame 654 right now, so I should have enough time to compile it in Priemere, sync up the audio, render that out and save it as a quicktime movie and than email that to my instructor. Yeah, God willing.

Anyways, Advent: The chapter is a page away from being done. I assure you that it will be up by thursday. After that, I hope to have the next one up before Easter, because I start school again after that.

Anyways, its on 680 right now. I leave for the moment.
