Ugh, well I don't know about you all, but I was pretty busy this school year. Too busy (or should I say lazy) to p04st Since this year was my first in highschool (yes I was a "fishie") and my first in SAC day, I actually had to do schoolwork! That's a first for me! But seriously now, all the work was worth it. I got pack into the homeschool group loop and meet a few new friends. I also met the two best, er only teachers I've ever had, Mrs. Yarbrough and Mr. Frambes.

Forsooth! The end draweth nigh, as I hath completed finals on all my quests excepting in mine Science and mine writing class, in which Sir Purkiss and Sir Goforth are partaking. (*Clears Throat*) I'm glad to have them done, since done means more time coding on teh compy. Because I'm ending school, I decided to stop shirking and finally post! I'll try to keep you all up to date with what's going on and what I'm doing, so it appears that I actually have a life outside of the computer. =D

Looking at stuff on eBay,
Josh

If you don't see anything update your flash player here.
Can you guess who wrote that song? Unsurprisingly "Weird Al" Yankovic thought up the lyrics, but it's to the tune of The BackStreet Boy's "I Want It That Way."

Okay, second of all, this interesting article:



William Shatner's hairpiece spotted! (Brian "Stimuli" Garver)

---

CHICAGO (DP): Actor, writer, director William Shatner's toupee was finally spotted Monday night in a Chicago sewer. Thought initially to have been stolen by a renegade member of the highly unstable and controversial religious faction "The True Religion", the hallowed hairpiece was the subject of a month-long nation wide search, which failed to uncover the whereabouts of either the toupee or any existing member of the aforementioned religion.

The righteous rug was sighted late Monday night by two sewer workers who claimed they barely escaped with their lives. "It was like a huge, ravenous, hairsprayed tribble," was the description given by waste management engineer Frank Hamilton, who escaped with lacerations and a dislocated shoulder. "I'm never goin' down there again!"

Mr. Hamilton's life long friend, Ed Norton, apparently saved his coworker's life with some quick thinking, by pulling out an electric sheep sheerer that, for unknown reasons, he always carries with him. "I was scared stiff when I saw the thing come up outta the water and grab Franky by da arm. It looked like one of them "horta" from, ya know, that Star Track show, except it was all styled and gelled up. I thought that it had to be that Captain Kirk guy's rug, but it was huge! So I instinctively whipped out my trusty clippers and drove it off. Don't know where it went but I hope it don't come back. Near took Franky's arm clean off!"

Authorities believe the wayward wig may be linked to the disappearance of two small school children in the area and might be responsible for the mysterious half eaten alligator found washed up on the banks of lake Michigan. Shatner reported the mischievous mop had been stolen from his hotel room during a Star Trek convention over the summer. When asked to comment on the recent sighting, Shatner only remarked about the dangers of buying hair products on the internet. At least for now, the carnivorous carpet remains at large.

While I was at Barnes and Noble's today, I picked up a book called Hacking Windows XP. *evil grin spreads over face*
This is one of the results of my tinkering:
My XP Computer
I also made my boot screen look like this:

If ya'll want the software I can give it to you. :)

Yeah! Things are finally picking up so for once no one is going to be bored to death by my blog entries.
This week school has been going a lot faster and I've been having more time to do things other than school, like looking at the way sound cards or RAM are built, why they work the way they do, and playing with the clan.
I've also been looking at laptops, and since all the big business is buying hand held devices instead of laptops, the price is going down. Although I still haven't quite decided yet, I think I might still want another desktop instead. It might be nice to have another one for days like yesterday. This Sunday was Communion and Connect at church, so after the service everyone tries to get together and have a meal with another family or go to their house or restaurant or wherever else. This week we went to the Stagg's house, and I brought my computer with the hopes of having a mini LAN party (LAN stands for Local Area Network, so a LAN party is where everyone brings their computer and you hook them up to a router and you play multiplayer games together ). It was okay, but we only had two Halo ready computers and the internet didn't want to work for us through my router so we just played a little one on one.

I've been playing America's Army recently and have been in need of a clan. Well I may have one! I joined this clan called {BiC}; Brothers in Christ. It's a Christian clan and they don't allow profanity or cheating. Sounds like what I'm looking for. :)
I do have to get voted in by the "elites" after 30 days of being a recruit, so I'm not sure yet. A few people said I did pretty good though, so I'm hoping and praying. :)
