Checking In

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 21:53:21 GMT

Just checking in on my favorite community on the internet. For anyone interested, I'm still working at Dairy Queen and I'm making $7 an hour. I have about $835 saved up for a car, and I'm still doing fine. I'll check up again in another two weeks or so I guess since it seems like everything si still moving on fairly smoothly.

Extended Vacation & Laptop

Tue, 13 May 2008 09:48:38 GMT

I guess I might stay in Kansas for another year, since I'm working at Dairy Queen now, and have met someone that I'm quite interested in. Anyone know any good places to buy laptops? I'd prefer laptops without an OS and all that jazz if I could manage it, but it doesn't matter. Getting a laptop would allow me to sort of still stay in the swing of things.

Rubik's Cube

Fri, 09 May 2008 12:16:46 GMT

I'm starting to love my Rubik's Cube. My fastest run is 4 minutes. Oh, and I made a typo in my last post. I was planning on being back around early July, but now that I apparently have a job, I'm not quite sure when it'll be.

My Absence

Thu, 01 May 2008 12:07:47 GMT

As I'm sure is no surprise to you all by now, I've been absent for the past little over a month. Some medication I was taking was having serious [read: very serious] effects on me, so I moved from Oklahoma to Kansas to start over fresh and try to gain a new perspective on life. So far, it's worked beautifully. I should be returning to Oklahoma around the beginning of July to stay.

BYOND RPG: I like a lot of the changes being made. I like the increased traffic in BYOND RPG as well as the new layout (the latter might have something to do with the former. =D) Thank you, Foomer, for the layout, and thank you, Tibby, for the large reformation.

BYOND Software: I love how it now uses the built-in updater that's been there, IIRC, for a very long time, and kudos on apparently fixing the file dialog bugs. =p

[Oh, and I love how fancy Safari makes these buttons and listboxes look. Go small school w/ Macs!]

Returning

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:43:08 GMT

I'll be returning some time in the next few days. My brother recently died in a car accident, so I had to return to Kansas to take care of some stuff and attend his funeral.

1. ACCEPTANCE
Thank you for becoming a BYOND Member! We need your support to keep the system running, and truly appreciate your willingness to become an important part of BYOND. By using the BYOND Membership service ("Service"), you agree to these terms. If this Membership is a gift, the gift recipient agrees to these terms by using the Service.

We're confident that anyone who becomes a Member has the best interests of BYOND at heart.

2. CONDUCT
Once you become a BYOND Member, your BYOND Member site is yours to use as you wish, with a few limitations. BYOND will not accept sites with clearly pornographic content (as determined solely by the judgment of the BYOND Staff) or with content that causes a significant use of bandwidth for purposes that don't benefit the BYOND community in some manner acceptable to the BYOND Staff. It is your sole responsibility to ensure your site's content does not break any laws or contracts.

We want to allow free expression of ideas on BYOND Member sites; in particular we want the BYOND Member pages themselves to reflect the personality and interests of the Member. However, in cases where the BYOND staff determines that images or content on a BYOND Member site are detrimental to the interests of BYOND, the BYOND Staff may choose to filter or remove the images or content, such as from search results, site summaries, or the BYOND forums. In extreme cases, the BYOND Staff may determine that the content of a site is so detrimental that we must terminate the BYOND Membership.

Inappropriate conduct in other areas of the BYOND system, such as creating pager spam or harassing other users, may warrant termination of BYOND Membership. BYOND Staff reserves the sole right to determine what conduct is inappropriate.

3. MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE, LIABILITY, AND WARRANTIES

The BYOND Staff takes BYOND Membership seriously, and wishes to provide you as much leeway as reasonable to allow you to use your BYOND Member site as you will, within the bounds of being a good citizen in this exciting community.

1.) There is nothing there about making posts directed to specific people.

2.) There is a section about harassment, but in it harassment is defined solely by the staff, as are the action taken against said harassment.

3.) You are a public figure, and as such you should really learn how to take criticism. (i.e. with a grain of salt)

Paint Host Needed

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:43:34 GMT

I'm looking for someone to hand off the job of hosting Paint to. They'll receive the DMB Executable and resource files, along with any updates of the game as long as their server remains up and (obviously) the full ability to moderate their server, including the ability to add words to the dictionary.

Please submit your name as a comment to this blog post if you are interested, and don't comment unless you have some sort of interest in Paint.

Latest Family Member [Pictures]

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:37:43 GMT

So I got caught up in my machine dying that I forgot to mention that we brought in a new member to our family. We've yet to name him, we just sort of call him anything ranging from "Raccoon" and "Little Cat" to "Satan" and "Bartleby". Here are some pictures of him playing in a sewing machine box:

Yay!

Calling All Low-Performance Machines

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 22:47:02 GMT

So I'm starting this project called OpenProto, and I'm still trying to add more of a finish to the page and getting the back button working again. I believe I have a complete solution to getting the back button working, but I need some input on it from people with low-performance machines. The main thing I need to know is if it brings your machine to its knees. Thanks.

[Note: The fact that the page is a bit slow at detecting navigation doesn't really matter, since my target audience isn't there for speed, they're there for simple information]
