Matchbox 20 – Long Day

Sitting here waiting for papa john’s to deliver my pizza… they take checks for delivery, isnt that amazing? Sure amazing AND terrible, since now I’ll be tempted to get pizza all the time %) But I wont… I really should save my savings, heh.

So PHP is still not working, I have tried so many things I am getting so frustrated! I just know it’s something small that I’m overlooking and that’s what bothers me the most %( I have been working on my MST3K page to get my mind off of it, heh. I could play with *just* php a bit (no with mysql) on my webserver, but that would probably just annoy me *shrugs*

I opened the windows of the apartment and shut off the AC… it’s not too bad out, at least I am breathing real air for once %D Would be better if it wasnt humid out tho, humidity makes the room feel sticky, and that’s not cool…

Sister Hazel – Your Winter

Sometimes I just wander around random blogs to see what other people in the world are doing… and I realized today how much I absolutely dispise ultra optimists… Maybe not them personally, but when I read a blog that is continually sickeningly sweet it really disturbs me. I think I can safely say it’s more disturbing to hear someone be happy and positive about _everything_ than to meet someone who likes to drink blood. What can I say? I mean I’m not as pessimistic as I used to be, I really do look on the bright side when I’m in the mood, but my life’s not perfect… do all these super optimists just lie to themselves and the world in blogs and go home to beat their head against a wall? No one can be so happy!! The world may never know…

Right. So Open Office officially sucks ass. True it’s free, and it’s got quite a number of decent features, but it crashes way too often. I was writing a letter (real paper letter) to my penpal in england (she doesnt have a computer, and an online relationship would really ruin this 6 year penpal thing, hehee)… and open office crashed! Granted I should have been saving… and looking back I probably should have written the thing in vim and then moved it to open office to format and print… *sigh* I just get so frustrated with open office at times like this %) Not to mention it’s slow ass on my computer, and I ALWAYS get errors when saving and exiting (even though the saves do seem to take, I dunno why I get errors).. At least it’s better than Star Office %) I suppose this is one of the times where I have to break down and say that Microsoft Office is superior to anything so far in linux *sigh* even though you are supposed to pay for it, it’s fast in windows and really is stable as far as windows is concerned. Gah… stupid dumb everything

Hmm in other news I slept well last night! Yes that is news, I usually sleep terribly.. prolly after that hangover yesterday (which I got over pretty quickly, luckily) I was tired and able to sleep… Feels good to get a good night sleep sometimes.. of course I will probably pay for it with terrible nights of sleep after this *shrugs*

Anyway, I found out yesterday that my local httpd server doesnt like some php… it’ll process parts but wont respond to other parts.. I thought it was the scripts, so i uploaded them to the webserver and they worked fine… I have no idea what is wrong, and I would work on them on my webserver but I need to be able to access and use MySQL as root, which i cant do on the webserver(and dont want to, if i screw something up, my webpage goes down, as well as myk’s). Hopefully Myk can figure out what’s wrong tonight… I will wander around google and check some stuff out, but it’s entirely likely that I wont be able to fix it on my own, and will prolly break more if i try %) .. if I cant get that working I’ll prolly work on parts of my webpage that need work (oh that would be all of them, heh) *wanders off*

So a friend of mine did 34535 quizzes last night… how could I but resist doing some of them? Here goes…

Are you Addicted to the Internet? 78%| | Hardcore Junkie (61%| -| 80%) While you do get a bit of sleep every night and sometimes leave the house, you spend as much time as you can online. You usually have a browser, chat clients, server consoles, and your email on auto check open at all times. Phone? What’s that? You plan your social events by contacting your friends online. Just be careful you don’t get a repetitive wrist injury… The Are you Addicted to the Internet? Quiz at Stvlive.com!

I love the net…

What magazine am I? I am Popular Science: The only thing more exciting then the present is the future. I am always the first to hear about whats going on in the realms of human achievement. What magazine am I?

Hmm, I’ve never actually read this magazine… cant I be Discover of SciAmer instead?

Cyndi Lauper – All Through The Night

I feel like crap. Just for fun we decided to drink last night, heh… big mistake, I only had four beers but that was apparently enough to make me sick for the night. I think it might have been ’cause I went to bed kinda early (10:30ish) and didnt eat or drink anything after the beer.. but I woke up around 2 getting sick… stayed up for a while until I knew I wouldnt get sick again then went back to bed. It ended up being a pretty awful night tho.. I think I kept Myk up for a while, which I always feel awful about ’cause he has work in the morning %( I think I’ll just quit drinking on weekdays, that way if I have a bad night sleep it wont be *that* much of a problem… Anyway I woke up this morning and I still have an upset stomach %( Been drinking lots of water… that should help as long as I can keep it down… I’ll try to eat some toast later.

So I got pretty far in the MySQL tutorial, I am far from an expert but I think I have the basics covered now, I’ll get more into it if I need to. I think I’ll start on the php tutorial again (the short one from php.net) Hopefully that’ll get me off in the right direction… and I will be able to replace php nuke princessleia.com with something my own %)

Gonna go get something to eat noew and hope i dont get sick, heh *wanders*

Peter Murphy – Just For Love

I found this really cool perl script yesterday, it’s for generating an html page of stats. I had seen them before for mIRC, but this one is an open source one for a bunch of different clients. It just reads the log, and makes a page *shrugs* pretty neat… I posted one for #13thHour, I think i’ll do a monthly thing, at the end of the month I’ll move the log flies and have it read the new month’s one. For now the stats page is located here

http://www.princessleia.com/ircstats

I’ve also been wandering around checking out streaming audiocasts. See some people in #deep13 have one, and I can’t contribute ’cause it’s a shoutcast, running only on winamp, so unless i ran winamp through wine, or did the DJ’ing through clockbot (our win2k server) I would have no way to use the plugins.. since they wont work with xmms… I found IceCast, but I think that’s only for ogg files… and I have so few ogg files it would be rather dull… I think there is one called IceDJ or something, that lets you broadcast mp3s from linux, I’ll look into it %)

Right, so that’s what I’ll do today, as well as working on that MySQL tutorial a bit too, I’m really making progress, even helped out Myk last night with the databases on our webserver ^_^ Yep, so bbl… *wanders*

I’ve seen this on like 4 other sites … so I decided to do it… oh and I’m a crazy FF fiend %D:

Mediaeval Baebes – Razreesh

So yesterday was ok, went to Uno’s for lunch/dinner, then went to Border’s ’cause Myk gave blood on friday and they gave him border’s coupons for 20% off a purchase… we each got two cds. Myk got some Steve Roach… I got the newest Peter Murphy CD, Dust, and the newest Mediaeval Baebes cd, The Rose… I am really impressed with the Peter Murphy one, since I havent really heard any of his stuff since what he did in the late 80s/early 90s. The MB cd I’m listening to right noew, it’s what I expected, good %)

So then we rented a couple movies, On The Beach (’cause I read the book it was based on a few years ago) and Kingpin, ’cause I hadnt seen it and ppl said it was funny. On The Beach was good… but sad of course, since it’s about the world after a full scale nuclear war and most of the world has died, and the ones living are struggling to survive. Should be required viewing for anyone in any position of nuclear power %) The movie was like 3 hours and 20 minutes long tho.. luckily they did a nice job of keeping people entertained… so it was different than the book, but still good. Kingpin was pretty funny too, bowlers are so strange, and it was hardly exaggerating, bowlers are REALLY fucking strange, hehehe. Also drank some last night *takes summore tylenol* hehe, we tried to invite some people over too, but they were sorta non-responsive, I guess that happens when you wait til 10 pm to invite %) Hopefully we’ll have a party or something sometime in september or october, when the weather cools down a bit.

Hmmm so I am still playing with MySQL quite a bit, it’s cool, I’m learning a lot… so I’m gonna go work on that, then prolly go read for a while, *wanders off*

Right, I ended that entry rather abruptly %D It’s because someone asked me if I wanted to play Unreal Tournament, hehehe… they dragged me away from writing here, kicking and screaming I assure you ;)

What was I talking about again? OH RIGHT that IRC addiction of mine. See it’s mostly a lot of kids who chat all day during the summer, addicted, sure, but they go back school, and have that stuff to do… but i dont go back to school… I just sit on 3 chat servers all day and chat almost everytime I topic I have interest comes up, which happens far more often than I’d like. I really try to get work done %( I just cant close the chat windows! I mean seriously… I hate going to bed at night ’cause I am afriad I will miss something, and then when I wake up in the morning i scroll up to see if i missed anything. Is there a cure for this kind of addiction? I mean these people are my friends not a drug! Hehee.. Oh well, at least it’s not a real drug I’m addicted to %)

Hmm, I dunno if we’re doing anything this weekend… prolly arent… I’m about 450 pages into the 4th wheel of time book, and it’s really good %) I guess I wouldnt mind spending the weekend emmersed in Jordan’s world.

Anyway, I’m gonna try to avoid the strong pull of looking in the chat windows ever 5 minutes and get some more php stuff learned %) *wanders*

Ani DiFranco – Napoleon

Caffinated Penguin mintys are tasteh. It’s been an interesting week… It’s my dad’s birthday today, I can’t call him, hopefully that card will get to him soonish.. heh. Anyway, I played with MySQL and PHP quite a bit yesterday, and I have to say… I really love php %) I mean I already knew that… but each time I play with it I just love it more and more, hehe. I even made a cute little webpage for r2… just on the network so i’m the only one who will ever see it, lol, but it’s cute anyway.. and better than the silly standard test page Apache (or redhat?) puts up.

Anyway, I think I can officially say I am addicted to IRC. Ack… hmmm i’ll write later

Mediaeval Baebes – Aria w/Delerium

Hallmark doesnt make a card for “happy birthday, sorry you’re in detox.” Honestly, what kind of birthday card was I supposed to get my father who just entered rehab? “I hope your birthday is fun and full of surprises!” ? I think not.. I ended up looking at cards for like 10 minutes before I decided on a pretty generic one, still it wasnt entirely appropriate, but is anything at this point?

I got a phone call from my cousin, the one that lives here in philadelphia, yesterday. She mostly wanted to make sure I was up to date on stuff with my father, since last she knew Heather hadn’t even told me. Apparently my dad’s family in new Hamshire is helping heather clean up the house and move stuff… that’s good, I’m glad she has some help (’cause when I talked to her she didnt mention that)… apparently they will help her financially if she needs it. Unfortunately the other news my cousin had for me isnt so great. Apparently she is “lost and doesnt know what she is doing with her life” (this again? does anyone know what they are ever doing?) SO she’s moving back home to NH with her parents.

So the funny thing about this is I’m not at all depressed. Sometimes I get depressed over the silliest little things, but this big serious thing doesnt bother me nearly as much as it should. I am such a woman, heehee. I dunno, maybe it seriously means I have a chemical imbalance and it’s not just life sucking… ’cause life doesnt really suck.. hmm.

Anyway… I never got php to work correctly yesterday on my computer, heh, had to wait for Myk to get home to set it up properly for me, heh… so I’m gonna go play with that noew %) *wanders off*
