$$$$$$$$$$$

Guh!!!! What do you know. Another almost record breaking profits quarter for the gas companies. Exxon gas(i believe) holds the record for #1 profits, and now for quarter 2 of 2006 they also hold record #2. (not gas stations, but to those who provide to them.) I am not sure about you guys/gals, but I am tired of them saying "oh the tensions in the middle east is driving prices up". Oh bull shit, thats why the last few years your profits sky rocketed. Unfortunately I have to buy gas for my car contributing to their profits. $3.10/gallon is outrageous and you gas companies can burn in hell (seriously). Those in Europe, yes I know your prices are a lot higher, but this is a lot here in the U.S. I remember the days where everyone was outraged at $1.50 now its over double that in just a few years. :(

impatient

guh!!!!! At the end of the last school year, (last week of may), when I started back working at the school, I asked about possibly graduating in January 2007 instead of May 2007 as I would have enough credits at the end of the first semester. I was told, that I would be notified before school starts up again September 4th. However, I have little patience for almost all things, so I am waiting, and waiting and waiting, to see if I get to graduate early. How sweet would that be.

Come to school the first day of the 3rd marking period, but have graduated the Friday before. w00t w00t. Then I could get to laugh at all the students ... "haha your ass still has to wake up everyday and come to school" type thing. One could only hope, and I am hoping alot. Though I will probably go to basic training early if they will let me. So I would have 9weeks gone down in Missouri, come home for a month or two, then go to Oklahoma for another 7weeks and 1day. Though I am not sure what I want to do. All in one or split op, even if they would let me do it.

First Weekend At RSB

Well this weekend was the first weekend at RSB. Don't ask me what it stands for as I don't know. However, it is for, the National Guard, before you go to basic training (ie. boot camp) you can learn a bit before you go, so you don't make as big of a fool as you would before hand.

Overall it was ok. I am quite sore from it. Lots of marching and standing. I knew I wasn't it shape, but dang, I am in horrible shape. Had to do 2 mile run Saturday around a track. That horribly sucked as many can imagine. (no i didn't get within the passing time). Seeing as I felt horrible that morning (woke us up at 4:xx) and was ready to puke, I lasted through the push-ups and the sit-ups. Though for the run, I threw up 4 1/2 times. Now your asking yourself, how do you half way throw up. Here is how, when you have threw up all the liquid in your stomach, and your body is trying to throw up but nothing is coming out. :( . But hey I made it the full 2 miles, and was not last to finish. w00t w00t!!!

Well, better luck next month.

haha !!! i knew it

After months of figuring myspace has been putting out adware, it finally came true. Some of you know, my bro is an avid myspace user *shudders* , and his computer is always messed up. Spyware Spyware Virus Spyware ... Myspace is the only place I ever see him go, so I figured they did it. Well I did a basic login on a clean system (freshly formatted) and nothing. I was so disappointed. Until today I saw this lovely article Zango Spyware on Myspace. Now this isn't myspace's fault, and I am not blaming them. I just knew, that with all the shitty "profiles", there had to be spyware. According to the article, some of those "free video" blah blah blah, require you to install Zango in order for the videos to play. Well guess what Zango is spyware. Not all video post things are spyware, but some are. So USER BEWARE, your pc is gonna get messed up. So those of you who thought that I was nuts saying it was spyware infested.. Well I laugh in your face.. muwhahahahaha !!! <highpitchedvoice> bitch's </highpitchedvoice>

EON8

This was probably one of the greatest (in my opinion) experiments out there. What is EON8 you say? EON8 was a website (currently down as it has had so much traffic the past few days) that was mysterious. Mysterious by having all sorts of encrypted data all over the place not only on their site but on some forums as well. They also had a counter that was counting down 0 and reached exactly 12:00 AM July 1, 2006.

There was quite a bit of hype about this site being a terrorist organization and would launch massive attacks or even possibly the end of the Internet. The really cool thing that made this so well is that it spread all over the place. The site didn't say it was the end of the net or gonna launch a massive attack, it was just a site with some encrypted randomly generated numbers and a few pages where access was restricted by means of a username and password, and a count down timer. Oh yeah, and it had a status indicator, and at 12 it changed to deployed. What helped things out, is that people say "The Planet" the datacenter that hosted the site, hosts "Terrorist" organizations so people just automatically assumed this.

Even the eon8 irc channel at gamesurge.net was packed with hundreds of people including the creator of the site himself..

So what was this experiment? The experiment was to see how easily people believe in things. EON8 did not have anything on their site saying they are terrorists, or that anything was actually gonna happen.
"As of July 1st, 2006, the E8 Project has completed.
The purpose of this project was to determine the reactions of the internet public to lack of information." - http://www.eon8.com/deployed21b.php

So to me, this is one of the greatest experiments in my opinion.
Great Job man.
