When I was a teenager I programmed my own Video Game that was a text based game that was played at its peek by over 100 people. each night for over a year or 2. I mostly refinish Arcade machines now.

Well,

the title says it all. I finished stripping the paint off of it. Then I shifted the machine to get to the very last side and I took the full weight on my toe as it dropped from about a foot off of the lift. I still have full movement of the toe so its not broken, thank god. Its swelling like a son of a bitch and I'm feeling a little light headed from the stripper so I'm going to wait and see if the swelling goes down or if I lose the nail.

When you defeat the last boss she sings to you.



This was a triumph

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science, We do what we must because we can. For the good of all of us. Except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. And the Science gets done. And you make a neat gun. For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now. Even though you broke my heart, and killed me. And tore me to pieces. And threw every piece into a fire. As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!

Now these points of data make a beautiful line. And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time. So I'm GLaD. I got burned. Think of all the things we learned for the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me. I think I prefer to stay inside. Maybe you'll find someone else to help you. Maybe Black Mesa. THAT WAS A JOKE. HAHA. FAT CHANCE.

Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist. Look at me still talking when there's Science to do. When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you. I've experiments to run. There is research to be done. On the people who are still alive.

PS. And believe me I am still alive.

PPS. I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.

PPPS. I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.

FINAL THOUGHT:
While you're dying I'll be still alive.

FINAL THOUGHT F1:
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

STILL ALIVE

Ugh,

I woke up today with a bad case of the programmers itch. I think when I come home I'll finish up the body parts code I added to my game weeks ago but never polished up. I tend to do that I tend to add a foundation and next build it up. Well, Tonight I'll do that since Jennies working till 8pm.

I think really deep down I want the body parts to mean something. So I'm going to need to give each little flag a purpose.

I was figuring
left arm or left hand (drop whatevers in that hand)
right arm right hand " " " " "

left leg or right leg "you fall clutching your limb" "plus your movement speed drops. if your missing both you can't walk.

then I want to program in a profession that has the purpose of HEALING these injuries.


then,
I need to rework the combat code to add in limb and body damage +
bleeding and death.

Then possibly and evil profession that excels in damaging these areas.
maybe a necromancer or something. I'd like to give them spells to blow off limbs and cause body tendons to rupture.

and if I can tie it all together.
I'll have to rework the spell system and eventually the level system.

 Ok,

So I'm a skeptic,   I started playing a free MMORPG called entropia Universe www.entropiauniverse.com  Well,  the concept is you buy and sell items with REAL money.  10 to 1 ratio so 10 of their dollars is 1 of ours.  So I started playing and within my first week of playing I find a deposit of ore worth $50 REAL.  So I use that money to better my character.  I on put in about $40 so far.  So that $50 put me $10 pure profit.  So I'm playing last night and BOOM!  $150  So I spent all night mining ore and I'm selling it at auction with a 13% markup.  So with any luck I'll turn that 150 into $170  I've as of this morning sold 1/2 of my total ore.   I can't wait I'm really hyped!

So the game is basically free you can make money without depositing but the easier path is to deposit even $20 to prime the pump.  So I'm now $150 towards the good.  I'm going to get some security enhancements on my account they have a security key that I can use at home to login and then I'll get their ATM card so I can move the money when I need it IRL.  How sick is this? 

 stay calm,  focus on the moment, you are trying to capture a perfect moment and you need to be still so the camera can do its job.  Deep breath and take your shot.  

blurry photos from shaky hands can't be fixed even by $700 Adobe Photoshop.

Once the shot's been taken and it looks good, everything is perfect.  If the colors are off, too dark/bright you can touch these up with even the most inexpensive photo program.

I look around I look around and I see a world of people constantly suffering.  Every person I talk to tells me some doom and gloom story and I don't know how I can help them.  Ever feel powerless?  All my friends seem to be at low points and I want to tell them it all gets better and I want to let them know it'll be O.K just let it go.  Why do you carry such suffering, its a bag of bricks set it aside.  But when I tell them they smile and walk away and then they continue their complaining and sulking.  How do I take the suffering of people away?  Sometimes I realy wish I could just absorb their woe on to me and that way we'd both be happy.  

But after all the thoughts I realize maybe it won't get better unless they MAKE it so.  Unless they stand up and say I hate my life and I'm going to fix it.  I hate my job, my cheating lover, etc.  Maybe if they could empower themselves they could cease to suffer.  But how can I give them empowerment?  How can I quicken them to that relization.  How do I help them to help themselves?

Alas that is the question,  that is the puzzle I must crack.  If it was only as easy as a simple pill.  I'd market it as the Empowerment pill "No it doesn't enlarge your dick it makes you realize that only you can fix your world!"

I chuckle but I wonder if people would buy it.  Maybe that belief that something could change them would they buy into it?  Perhaps, perhaps not.

I can't imagine how I pulled everything together this week. I could swear I used duct tape and silly putty.  The customer complaint in Selden was resolved after 13 hours of hard labor.  I finally got the customers ok to wipe the drive clean.  My trainee worked well and he's an inspiration.  I think I'm learning more about energy and enthuisasm from him and hopefully it'll rub off.

Today I worked with a store to sell a $1500 data recovery.  The customers sons both went to Iraq and her hard drive failed.  She lost all the e-mails and photos they sent her so she's paying $1500 to have Seagate tear apart her drive and rebuild it.  So that'll be a nice sale in 2 weeks!

I haven't been feeling well lately and a lot of my stores have been telling me I'm looking pale and sickly.  I've had some odd feelings lately and I think maybe my health problems are job related.  Sadly I can't quit my job but I've been researching my hormone imbalances and it looks like Stress can impact it.  I've noticed on Vacations and on days off where I'm busy and not thinking of work that I don't need my medication I'm energized and vibrant and ready to take over the world. On a work day without my meds I can't get out of bed.  I'll sleep the whole day away and wake up in the evening.  

Anyways Tomorrow the family is coming over to celebrate my early birthday.  I hope it'll be fun. Not to mention Jennies sisters have decided to give up their dog to me.  So tomorrow I have to pick up my new dog Colcita.  She loves me!  So it'll be good. Maybe I can use her as a stress reliever.  Well, I'm off ot bed I have to take a snoring cranky to work tomorrow.

Ciao

Current Mood: sickly, tired

Another great day,

Spent today playing Shadowrun on Xbox live.  I gotta tell you there is no greater feeling then playing a game with 12 year old kids who say you suck balls. Only that next round you  can shoot them in the face with a shotgun!  Oh god that was nice!

Started diagnosing my arcade monitor its only displaying 1/2 the photo looks like the vertical sink is broken and the capacitors are bad. New cap kit on order $8.99 just have to solder her back together and hopefully all will be well. worst comes to worst I'll order a new monitor $200 deals done.
