New Horse Gear!

When I looked yesterday evening this morning to see where my order from State Line was it was down in CT, but just today, when I got home from lunch it was sitting there in-front of the door! The muck bucket isn't as big as I thought it was but, it'll be nicer then that broken bucket at the barn. I wanted to take some photos and post it, but the flash on my Canon is dead...even after ripping it apart it still won't work (note to anyone who rips apart their digital camera, make sure you know what you're doing because it can be dangerous)! I think the flash bulb is busted so I'll probably end up getting a new camera. I was looking at the Canon SD1000 or 750, both would work fine for me at the moment. I saw a commercial for the Canon XSi, whoa. I want it.

So yesterday, I spent most of it working on a silly/fun/lame/cool site, mostly going to be used for development on Scribbld but under a different name - DramaJournal.net haha so go play around with it. It's probably pretty buggy and full of issues, but that's what a dev server is supposed to be like.

Today, I worked on adding some of the features from DJ to Scribbld. I did get the navigation bar here...and I managed to get some more moodthemes installed. I changed mine to the whitekaos haha AND I changed my layout. I like it! I just need to change the links and add some text blurbs.

I think I might head to the barn now, seeing as the weather isn't so hot and I've got all these fun things!

Have a lovely day everyone!

Another Layout Change!

The main reason I changed my layout again was because I just wanted to have my comments in the layout of the journal, I think it looks a lot better now, although I really liked how the other style had the tags in a cloud? Is this still possible, I am using Smooth Sailing, I really like tag clouds, not in a list like this.

I will be adding a header image in when I get the time to make one, I am debating on whether or not to do horse related or Final Fantasy related...or anime...I dunno...

I worked on some more Crisis Core missions yesterday. I'm really getting through a lot of them. I am going to do them until they all say Very Hard, then I will continue working on the main story. It's such a fun game :) I can't believe I'm able to take down enemies with 50,000HP. Crazy. Although there is some materia out there that I should have, and it does 9999 damage per hit...I must find it.

Had some consulting yesterday, pretty simple stuff. Although things did get crazy after I'd gotten back and some how their accounting database had gotten corrupted and I had to work an additional 2 hours, but I think I solved the issue, mostly because they haven't called back to say it's not working (and it's 11:30am now). Today I have a single consulting appointment in Williston, should be simple. SuperDrive & RAM install. As long as it's not a 12" PowerBook I am going to be okay :)

Then I am not sure what I'm going to do the rest of the day, maybe I'll be able to put down Crisis Core and work on some Resident Evil. I'm probably half way through the game now. I am going back into the mansion after fighting some crazy killer sharks.

I got my Apple Product Professional certifications in the mail, so I am good through December 31, 2009. Phew.

I am hoping my stuff from NewEgg, ModSupply and CodeJunkies comes in soon, I am so anxious! I can't wait to try it all out. I do have one question if you see this [info]confining, can I still play all my legal games? I really hope so and I wouldn't see why not, but it's best to make sure :)

[info]emilie and I are close to being done with Azumanga Diaoh, I think we have like 4-5 episodes left. For some reason I'm really starting to get annoyed with Tomo...oh well...I dunno what series we're going to watch next, we have so many to choose from. I am thinking Death Note since it's supposed to be awesome.

I got my first issue of Anime Insider, I am barely through the issue I bought more then I month ago, and so I've got 2 new issues to read, it's great!

Well I best be going, I have to get some gas before I head up to the consulting appointment. Have a nice day everyone!

Support & Games

It has come to my attention that a community on Scribbld is causing a lot of issue and I've actually suspended the account (but it's now unsuspended). Basically because we have no ToS people are pretty much free to write about and post about anything they want. Obviously that is a real issue but I've always said from day one, if you have to think twice about the content you're posting then don't post it at all. This continues to hold true and if you're submitting objectionable content, just don't. You'll probably end up getting banned or suspended.

I am not really sure what provokes people to post such mean and hateful content and as mentioned in a support ticket, I will definitely be closing this community in question if I get more complaints from users.

I personally think the community should be allowed to stay open but ONLY members of the community can participate in their little game. I believe that is what I will propose and if that rule is broken (via a user reporting it) I will close the community. I believe that is how I will handle it.

What I don't understand is why can't people just keep to themselves. Choose your friends wisely...

I will be speaking with a few other people today to get their opinions on the issue and from there we will decide on whether or not to keep the community open.

In other news....Keith came over last night and we hung out. I hooked him up with Aperture 2 and Cloverfield. [info]makkintosshu also stopped over to drop off an Ethernet cable. we all hung out and chatted video games. As with every Tuesday night we'll be online playing Call of Duty 4 -- my gamertag is vtequine.

[info]emilie made us a really good dinner last night, Shepards Pie. I loved it. Then we just hung out pretty much for the rest of the night.

I've also been working with Morgan and talking about a new project he's working on. More details to be revealed later :) it'll be neat though.

I finally got an S2 style I like except when I leave the comment page to be the style it looks horrid, I hate how none of the S2 stuff seems to indent or nest the comments. It's lame, but at least I like the layout...

I believe that's all I have to say for right now
