Ok, so after only a little over a week, I took down the webcam. In order to clear out the server room to make it back into a bedroom for our new roomie, we had to take all the computers out. As soon as we figure out a new place to put it, it will be back, probably in a spot with actual activity so its not just a webcam of an empty room.

Ok, so finally getting back to the swing of movies… now that summer is wrapping up I have a feeling I’ll be resuming the weekly movie night with my roomie.

Anyways, tonight I went and saw Scary Movie with my friend Mandi. All I have to say is… DAMN! I crack up every time I see it and again any time I think about it… I’m definitely getting it on DVD when it is released.

Ok, this is funny (at least to me). I stumbled across a link to this at octobrx’s site. This might be the end of the world as we know it, but only if it wasn’t a hoax. Click on the picture to the right to go to mslinux.org. There is another similar site right here. The frightening part will be when this isn’t a hoax and MS is actually selling a distro.
(more…)

Ok, I’ve only had this layout for my website for about 6 months (though only uploaded for about 4) but I still have yet to come up with a logo to slap in the upper left corner of the page… the oval is just begging for something to put in it… any ideas? any charity logos? Email me and help me out.

So I finally broke down and ordered the new ram air hood for my GTP… there is a link to it on my GTP page. Now I just need to wait the 4 to 6 weeks for it to be made and delivered and I’ll be one mod closer to where I want my car to be.

I dug my old Connectix Quickcam VC out of the closet and hooked it up and for some reason it works well again. I now have a webcam link on the menu, but right now it isn’t in a room that is even frequented, so the picture isn’t really going to to much for the moment… but soon I’ll move it. The image updates every 30 seconds.

Ok, I finally went through and converted my site to includes and templates so I can put forth much less effort and still update my site… gotta love updating one file and changing every page instead of manually changing every one. Also, I am using Blogger to do the main page so I can dump snippets in here much easier… it also allows me to archive past news even though nobody probably reads this (or cares about old posts).

I’m back from New York (and Connecticut since I was only in NYC half a day) and I had a good time.. I got to see all the fun stuff I wanted.. walked around Times Square and visited WWF New York, saw the Statue of Liberty from Battery Park, saw Wall Street, and ended the day at the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill concert at Madison Square Garden… it was pretty cool… of course, now I want to go back, but that happened with Los Angeles back in March too… go figure. Thanks Heidi!!!

This appears to work well, I like this Blogger thingy… now if only the DSL at home gets back on par, I’ll actually start using this to keep brettly.net updated on a regular basis. Woohoo!!!!
