Comments on my blog [Update]

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I dunno where all of these came from, but I had 55 comments marked as spam. I’m going through them now. Sorry to anyone who I didn’t catch. Apparently my blog stopped e-mailing me updates.

[Update]

I dunno why, but a slew of people have been spam commenting on my blog. I might end up requiring registration. Sorry to those of want to comment and then would need to login :( .

Shikabane Hime Kuro completed

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Yesterday I finished this one. I dunno what to say about the ending. Again, it left me sitting there going “what?”

Is this just so they may or may not make sequels? What is wrong with people? Just make a good ending for once. I have no one to talk about this stuff to so I’d really like to be able to talk to just think about it myself without going “there was no ending, it really did not end; this is dumb.”

What am I doing now?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I might be getting a job at a game company. That’s just something on my plate at the moment.

Really though, what is this kid doing? I’m in the process of writing two books, one a novella and the other a work of non-fictional editorials and articles to teach people.

There are a few other books I have in the works which I haven’t mess around with yet. One won’t start until I’ve completed the novella as it is yet another story I’ve been working on, this one since 2004. Another book is going to be yet another method of teaching people, but this time, I’m pointing out ways of looking at things through alternative viewpoints.

Since I’m just about really to go live w/ the home business, I needed to get a copy of Cubase 5 because it natively works in 64-bit mode. Since I have invested about a grand in sound and audio things over the years for the purpose of music creation and composition, I really thought this is the next step toward putting me in a job. The last thing I’ve done is looked for a mentor. That one isn’t getting me anywhere though. Sadly, I can’t find anyone with enough knowledge yet.

Apple Claims PCs are as Expensive as a Mac

Dude, this guy’s on drugs if anyone thinks you NEED an antivirus or that they’re actually useful. They case programs NOT TO WORK! No SHIT they’re expensive too because they’re fucking useless. People don’t know. Guess what? The economics of it all is that NO FUCKING SHIT a $700 PC is worse than a $2800 Mac. You think a $2800 PC would also be shit compared to a Mac? NO! Why? Because it fucking would have a car come free with it at that absurd price. Ya know, you could buy the same laptop and netbook I did 4 times for that price. NO FUCKING ANTIVIRUS, NO FUCKING 3 year SUBSCRIPTION!

The only OS I’d ever want an antivirus software for would be a Mac because I dunno what could get in it or what vulnerabilities there are. At least with WindowsTM Microsoft(R) is open to telling people all the flaws so you know what’s wrong with the OS and that they’re putting out a fix. With a Mac they covered up the thing on their MAIN website saying for people to get an antivirus. Why? Because people make viruses for operating systems they own. More programs/crackers get a Mac, more viruses made for it. What kinda drugs are people on? You’re just calling out to people to hack your OS by saying shit like that.

Fixing my Dell Inspiron Mini 9 key placement

Monday, April 13th, 2009

36304-board

For those of you that have seen the keyboard on my Dell Inspiron Mini 9, you’d notice how poorly placed some keys are. For example, the quote key has moved to the left of the left arrow key. Now when I type in “I’m going to the store” including the quotes, I get new lines all over the place. Just to note, the F11 and F12 keys are mapped to Z and X respectively; a BIOS update fixed that little issue of missing keys.

Braid is my life

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

You might’ve thought me a crazy person if you hadn’t played Braid yet, but hear me out, I just played it now. The resemblance to my own stories and episodes on this blog was more than surprising. It is as if I was being watched, but it’s not just me, it is the common human being.

Quoted from the game:

This improvement, day by day, takes him ever-closer to finding the Princess. If she exists–she must!–she will transform him, and everyone.

Before I behind, the comma after “transform him” shouldn’t be there, but that’s how it is in the game. Makes me cringe! What I wanted to say is, doesn’t that sound like my blog since I’ve been single this past year? Sitting there improving myself, learning how to communicate, learning from my mistakes. Trying to reward myself for being educated rather than punishing my past mistakes. This is Braid. Kinda nice to see this, but I am now almost hoping the end of the game is as defunct of the princess as the rest of the game. Why? Because I have not yet hit the point in my life where, keeping in the metaphor of the game, I’ve found my princess, or second princess, or gotten my princess back. It feels weird to complete that when I’m not even there yet correct?

Publishing of the Truth

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Through the tons of research I’ve done on the part of proper writing style and computers, I wish to now possibly publish a work describing how people are stupid. I want to co-publish parts of this work on PCFlip.com which is where they’re being published at the moment. I want to be motivated to finish the rest of what I’ve got and to think up more ideas. The best way to do that is to dangle a published work in front of myself. And what better way than the need to tell people they’re stupid.

I am also beginning to find the motivation to again work on Story Night of Vengeance. I wish to at least finish that and have it published by the end of the year. That is a my goal. Now if only I had some form of readership to catalyze the completion of it.
