09:15pm- Merry X-mas!
I use x-mas to not offend those that are easily offended and as a tribute to Futurama. I hope all is well out there on the other side of the server and you got what you wanted to this year. I was hoping for some more traffic, but little work yields little reward, so.. my bad! In any event, I believe I can now safely say that comments will be really really reduced in terms of spambot abuse and this is my present to you! I am still working on this site and others like it, making changes here and there when needed, breaking and fixing various things. My files script is pretty borken right now, and outdated. But with work and all its hard. I am still working to get this site up and functional with loads of new content, this will all be posted up when its done! Happy holidays, I know for a fact nobody got a better gift than me: Ninja Turtles Action Figures!
PEACE!

04:56am- Underneath the Bridge
Most of the work I do on this website is behind the scenes. You don't really get to see it all that often. Currently I'm working on a new anime website that will be the bomb as they say. Well I actually say that, I'm working rather hard on it trying to make it perfect, tweaking a little bit too much. But in a week or so I should have it so its completely ready for the mainstream. For now if you're interested the url is: http://anime.universe.nu and its tied closely to the forums. Some parts require registration on the forums, others do not. I hope you enjoy. All feature requests should be done here or at the feedback forum on that page.

11:21pm- An Update.
I found a nice new screensaver for windows called Flurry, apparently you can get it on MAC OS X if you overpaid for your computer, and on linux with xscreensaver. Well, enough talk, its pretty terrific and I normally hate screensavers, so check it out here.

05:32am- IRC And Such
It seems that whenever I leave to go to San Diego for school (from Thousand Oaks, my home) the server for irc goes kaput. Thats what it has done, or should I say had done. It seems that whenever I'm gone, the routing table changes to something that doesn't allow external connections to one of its network adapters.. Meaning, it's trying to use the local connection through the router to send and receive external data when it should be using its direct connection with a different network adapter, for some reason, this causes it not to accept connections (or perhaps it accepts them, then tries to use the router, CISCO did pay off a bit!). Oh well, its working now, hopefully I can stop this madness from happening.
And for all you Community College people, this is for you...
IGETC is worthless, at least when I transfered to UCSD. They didn't accept IGETC as the end all to their general education requirements. So I have about 103 ucsd units, 20 or so are actual classes that count for something, not really on my major! So, I have to do at least 20 units a semester to get out in 2 years (fall, winter, spring, summer, fall, winter, and graduation after spring). Which is doable, but might not be, considering that each requires a prerequisite. If I can get through 16 this semester, 20 shouldn't be too far of a reach for me. I hope I make it. Anyways, The tip for you youngsters: check with the college to see what they require of their incoming freshmen for general ed, then determine what classes you can take that will actually count towards those requirements.
Blah, blah, at least I updated!

06:06am- Secondangle Down Again
The Secondangle server is down once again, I haven't been able to diagnose the problem just yet, but I will get to it soon enough. So sit tight, I'm really sorry it keeps going down, it shouldn't be going down at all, I just reinstalled the OS and everything, we'll see.

10:11pm- A Zombie is Eating my Brain
For real, it is, which is why I haven't been updating. Plus I really don't know what to put up on this awesome website. IRC was down, now IRC is up. If only I could update some of the older programs I have running on it to the newer versions to possibly add new features and the like. Oh well, I learned something new today, open up the windows command prompt and type in 'route print'. Cool, ain't it? Its worthless for most people but for those with networking knowledge, it kicks some fucking ass, I never knew windows even had this feature in it, or I never bothered to look it up. Probably the latter. It works in linux too, but the command is 'route'. I will update this more. More more more. (Unless anyone wants to update for me?)

03:10pm- Lanfest 2k5 Wrap-up
Well, I arrived a bit late, but I still arrived to Lanfest 2k5. When I wheeled my computer and monitor up to the registration desk, I knew something was different, last time there was a line and checking in was quick and painless, this time, it was slower, nobody was really trying to help me, I had to actually ask someone where to register for the byoc, and it seems only two of the 6 people behind the front desk had any clue what they're doing. Oh well, thats how everything is. So I finish that up, get a bag of goodies and walk onto the floor. Wow, completely different, there was actually quite a bit of space in the main area which consisted mainly of the booths of various companies, a main stage, some places to sit down and relax, and a free ddr machine. Thats right, DDR, making fools of many Americans, that game, at a lanparty, pretty good I think, keeps the blood flowing for the gaming people. Additionally, there were a lot of couches, I mean a lot, way more than last year. A few people actually took advantage of those during the long lan night, including myself for about an hour, too bad they had a spotlight on the damn thing, hard to sleep with a spot light on you. Lots of goodies all in the vendor booths, lots of good looking women paid to sell stuff. A few areas to try out speakers and systems, and also a little area to watch a match or two. The main stage was bigger, they made it the podium for everything, lots of contests and prizes and such. One problem I really had was with the DJs. They hired these Los Angeles DJs to play music, but all they played was Rap. Hmmm, a bunch of gamers listening to rap, perhaps 5 people enjoyed the music out of about 400 people attending. Next time I hope they do some techno and such like lanfest 2k4. Not much in the bag either, two license plate holders, a free voip phone trial (nifty might I say), a t-shirt, a mini highlighter (wtf?), a little hot wheels car from lexmark (WTF??), and this little red and white thing from lexmark as well. I have no idea what its for.. Well I found myself in the back of the lan area so I could keep an eye on things. I really like the setup for this years, it seemed to be bigger and better lit. It was one big room instead of one sectioned off, which was a big plus for the whole atmosphere. But the fuckin' rap music reached me back there, next time: NO. They also had lights on, which helped me set up, then got annoying, so they turned them down. Well turnout looked to be a lot better this year, lots of open seats, probably from people who just came from the tournaments. I forgot to mention the tournaments, they were broken down as such: Call of Duty (crap), Counterstrike:Source (more crap), and Counterstrike 1.6 (just shit). No Unreal Tournament, no Battlefield, nothing really interesting for me and a bunch of Lan people. Who the hell plays CS or CoD at a lan? Perhaps they tried to get the wrong people interested in the lan... Oh well, hopefully they'll figure it out for next year and add a real game, Quake 3:Arena! Haha, right. Anyways, the lan was a blast, lots of prizes, some good looking girls (those ati chicks had some nice bodies), cool people, lots of BYOC action (Except at around 4am, when everyone left to go sleep!), and some freakin' DDR to make everyone make a fool of themselves (which is fun!). Overall, Good for what it was. Oh, they also had some BYOC tournaments, some BYOC computers for those tournaments (with internet access! no lan internet access unless one hacked it), and some really cool BYOC servers, but the Lanmaniacs had a BF2 server that was better than the newegg provided one. I didn't have my camera (Canon S400) but I had my dad's Sony cybershot (which isn't all too good), so I got only a few pictures they aren't all that great. Pehaps someone would like to donate a Canon EOS 20d? I'll post some links to other people's lanfest wrapup and pictures pages later.

For some pics from last year, check out my Lanfest 2k4 Pictures, among any other simple google searches. So get your ass there, I'll be there.

It seems that I accidently included a wrong screenshot and gave the wrong steps in the guide, so I've corrected it and brought the error in bold with an explanation. I hope this guide works better, thanks to Jared for bringing this to my attention, let me know if anything else is bad. DVD Audio to Music CD HOWTO <-- linked again.

09:32pm- Windows Media Player, I Hate You.
I upgraded my Windows Media Player up to version 10, and I must say, I hate it. All previous versions of the damn program are complete crap, with their fancy guis. I want to WATCH MY MOVIES NOT LOOK AT ALL THE STUPID BLUE GRADIENTS. And like all media players from the "evil corporations" (I.E. Apple Quicktime, Realplayer, and Media Player) they love stealing all my file extensions, even when I say no. The media button on my keyboard used to open winamp, now it opens Windows Media Player. Do there exist any options in the Options panel to change this? No. Anywhere in windows to change this? I haven't found it. Oh well, almost time to upgrade to 64-bit windows and reinstall.
Conclusion: Don't use Windows Media Player. I found a FREE program, yes a FREE program that plays media files for FREE and its clean and clear, and under control. Its called (as i find the link...) Media Player Classic

12:42pm- Hosting
I let me current host know that I wanted to cancel my account at the beginning of this month. I haven't heard a word back from them confirming my request to cancel hosting with them. So it may get ugly. I've been hosted with Nebrix or something (It used to be Elysium Networks but they sold out). And I'm not too happy with the service, plus I want to be able to run an IRC server thats a little better with reliability than my dsl line. We'll see what happens and I doubt any of you (if there are any of you) will notice any difference in service in the coming month (any probably zero downtime).

10:39pm- Secondangle Update
It appears that Verizon really does suck, they were rewiring a bunch of the local telephones in the tract because they got flooded, unfortunately they decided once that was done that it'd be ok to say it was fixed. Well for me, it isn't. They cancelled the service call that was supposed to stop by today and now they pushed it all the way back to Monday. I seriously hate this company now, they're slow and they don't really care to try and get it fixed. So unfortunately, its down until its up, so I'll let you know when its up.
Borrowing wifi is oh so much fun.

05:19pm- IRC Outage
Something is wrong with the phone lines here, so as a result the DSL line for IRC is offline, so Secondangle, the server running IRC, is off until its fixed. Appt set for Friday for repair but it may be up sooner. Sorry for the inconvenience, its verizon's fault.

11:57pm- Har Har Musicians
I've heard of multiple musicians complain about how mp3s are lower quality and all that jazz when downloaded off the internet. Well with the advent of apple's itunes, which don't sound any better than mp3s, musicians need to shut the hell up. They support itunes and hate mp3s for being inferior quality, you can completely tell that the only thing they hate about mp3s is that they can't make a dime out of them. Its all about the music, ain't it?
I've also successfully converted the audio on my White Stripes Under Blackpool Lights DVD onto an Audio CD for playing in my car. If someone wants me to post a guide on how I did it, let me know by commenting here.

07:19pm- Airbags
With the advent of air bags, everyone feels safer driving. This is bad, people should be scared shitless when they drive, so they concentrate on driving. For example, my car does not have airbags, so, I always drive safely, never too fast, I don't weave in and out of traffic, and I'm generally a safe driver. The reason why is, if I get into an accident, I'll probably be killed, so, I try my best not to get into accidents. But when you have airbags thats a different story, you feel more comfortable driving recklessly because you know that if you get into an accident you'll be alright, insurance will buy you a new car and pay your medical bills, and everything will be all fine and dandy. Well that's the problem, people drive like freaking idiots when they know they'll be safe. So, lets get rid of airbags because we all know people will drive safer if they know they will die if they get into an accident and they will do everything to try and avoid it.
As for people dying because of real accidents, where nobody is at fault, its darwinism plain and simple. The rules of natural selection survival of the fittest hold true for us humans as well, hell how many animals have died because of a tree accidently falling on them in the forrest or falling off a cliff? Lots, its the same with us, shit happens.

But when you have airbags thats a different story, you feel more comfortable driving recklessly because you know that if you get into an accident you'll be alright, insurance will buy you a new car and pay your medical bills, and everything will be all fine and dandy. Well that's the problem, people drive like freaking idiots when they know they'll be safe. So, lets get rid of airbags because we all know people will drive safer if they know they will die if they get into an accident and they will do everything to try and avoid it.
As for people dying because of real accidents, where nobody is at fault, its darwinism plain and simple. The rules of natural selection survival of the fittest hold true for us humans as well, hell how many animals have died because of a tree accidently falling on them in the forrest or falling off a cliff? Lots, its the same with us, shit happens.

03:50pm- Two New Search Engines
I've come across two interesting search engines. Well I guess they're not real engines but they do search some interesting databases.
First off from Yahoo we've got their Video Search which like most of Google, is in beta. I did find some videos of some big nuclear explosions on it.
Second is something I found over at DivX Digest which is what the webmaster I guess is working on which is DVDLoc8 (or DVD Locate). This one has some interesting features like searching for dvds and finding all info including easter eggs, features, languages, trailers, a wishlist, a dvd collection manager program, and some other stuff. Check it out.

03:12am- Wow, I did something productive
I've updated my Secondangle Studios website a bit and made it look nice and professional. Now it just needs more content. In any event its the server that is responsible for chat among other things and is housed at my house.

08:46pm- Now for some real news
The greatest web browser to date, Mozilla's Firefox, has reached a total of over 10 million downloads for their latest version 1.0. Which makes this site look so much better than Internet Explorer ever could and ads security, pop-up blocking, standard compliancy, tabs, search box, and so much more. I really suggest anyone who hasn't tried this browser to try it now, it'll fix all those little holes that have been plauging Internet Explorer and its actually kept up to date so any holes that are found are patched! Oh and IE's share of the market has dropped below 90% for the first time in years. [Read the Full Story].
Microsoft has copied google by releasing a search bar to search their new search engine and files on your hard drive. 3 people download it. [Read the full story]
And apparently the hit video game Grand Theft Auto has actually saved some people from getting robbed. This is the game parents are crying about because you go around and steal cars and do stuff with hookers. Hookers are people too, they need friends, they do things besides hook. Now dogs and cats, those aren't people, so stop treating them like them. ANYWAYS the sound in the game scared off a burglar. [Full Story Here]
That is all, maybe more news in the future?

Something I've never ever ever seen on IRC, yet: "a/s/l?" That's right, I've never seen those uttered in a chatroom ever before.

02:32am- Now This is News
Ok, so last night I went out cruising with some friends to try and pick up some chicks, only problem is it was after midnight on Saturday and every place in my town is closed, and all the chicks are at parties I don't know about, so we decide to stop by 7-11. While in there I decide on a hot chocolate, and get one, then I see slurpees, and I wanted one of those, but I stuck with the fucking hot chocolate. Anyways outside I'm drinking it, I open up the lid and it looks grey to me. Oh well, whatever, 7-11 hot chocolate is made of something gray. Today I was walking around and I let out a fart, a quiet one, but still a fart, and it smelled like hot chocolate. How cool is that?
I just realized that a college or university may be reading this tomorrow, but I don't really care. That's what I get for listing my mediocre website on my application. Hello UC admittance persons, thanks for stopping by, be sure to leave a comment!
