  • Emu nights & DJ prep

    ohhhhh yea so you know you’ve been playing video games too long when you see the first Christmas decorations in your town and the first thing you think of is Shenmue at Christmas time.

    For those not in the know, Shenmue 2 has been cancelled in the US for Dreamcast. It has been moved to an Xbox exclusive. When I get rich again, I’ll buy an Xbox. And I might just have to buy a PS2 so I can play the Final Fantasy series.

    Speaking of Dreamcast, here’s a great DC emulation site: consolevision. It amazes me how these guys can figure out how to program that little box. There’s even emu’s for the PS2 now.

    And what’s the point of buying a Game Boy Advance when you can get the games and an emulator online? I am into emulation, but I’m more into the collecting part of it. I like to have the old old arcade games. Pac-Man, Tron, Asteroids. I like to be able to play them and not have to pay 25 cents a pop.

    Plus, there are quite a few new games on the emu scene. The ones that use the custom 3D hardware aren’t emulated yet. But I’m sure it will be one day.

    The whole N64 emulator on the Dreamcast was a joke. The Neo Geo emu was a joke. I was there on the showdown that night with the supposed N64 emu author. It was a good show, and entertaining for sure. I got all the IRC logs.

    However, there is a MAME project for the DC, and MAME does Neo Geo. Neo Geo was a great system, and SNK made some great games, too bad they recently went out of business.

    I’d like to get an old Sega Saturn to play Bomberman, Ecco the Dolphin, NiGHTS, and that dragon saga or something or another.

    Last Neo Geo system I saw was at the anime con here in Durham. And there’s an arcade Neo Geo system that has 4 games on it in a restaurant in Henderson. And I fell in love with the game Windjammers at some place in Zebulon. But we wont talk about that.

    Arcades aren’t what they used to be. I remember going to Spring Lake, no… something Lake here in NC a long time ago with a friend and his family. They had a warehouse full of arcade games. Now, there’s really nothing. There’s only 2 I know of, one at Crabtree Mall and one at Adventure Landing, a putt putt place in Raleigh.

    Plus they’re so expensive now. I think the last time I played an arcade game was one of the Dungeons & Dragons series in Crabtree with me and a friend. We actually beat the game, go us!

    Now, when I want to beat an arcade game, I download it, play it and just keep hitting F1 to simulate a coin drop!

    So I helped Steve some on a new UT map, just did some rearranging to one of the rooms. Maybe he’ll have a release soon.

    I’ve been too busy with my music and stuff recently to do anything else. Just making sure everything is perfect for Saturday night.

    I bought a bunch of plastic containers tonight to put all my crap in. I still need a fold up table, and I want 2 little stands to put these huge 90 pound speakers on, but no luck yet. I want a dimmable light for my DJ table and a fan.

    I want to learn to mix beats, realtime. I thought tonight of a way to get Fruity Loops into playing 2 instances of Winamp. Hmmm the timing would be too terrible though.

    I really like my new song. I rarely really like something I make, I’m too critical. But it still needs more work. Don’t worry, I know it ends too abruptly 😉

    Hmm I need to write some poetry. Just cuz I haven’t in a while. Ok I gotta test Steve’s new map…

  • New music, gear spiral

    Since most of you don’t read these news bits, just read this part: NEW MUSIC HAS BEEN ADDED!! Please check it out, and let me know what you think. I worked long and hard on this one, and actually think it turned out nice.

    Now, my rant time. It’s the end of a long weekend and I needed to update. On Thanksgiving, I attended my first house blessing. If I was to buy a used house, I’d get mine blessed, except I wouldn’t know who to get to do it. Speaking of spam, I recently got an email saying that all I had to do was pay like 50 bucks and I could be an ordained priest! Man, is it really that easy? 😉

    Hmm, let’s check my random spam messages today… Hmm, seems like I’ve been offered a job to help some company collect child support payments. And I have another offer to increase my penis size by 1 to 3 inches by simply taking a pill. It seems like I don’t get nearly as much spam on Sundays for some reason. Ahh well.

    So I’ve been spending the dough—does anyone want a DJ for a party? I’ve got almost all the equipment now. Why don’t you come see me and Mercy December 1, 2001 at Philly Bistro in Wake Forest?

    You know, you’d think these cables are cheap, but once you realize you need like 10 cables for different things and each cable is like 20 bucks, it adds up real quick. Plus, my mixer has decided to add some effects of its own when it’s playing, and I have to have this mixer Saturday. I found a place in Raleigh that would service it (under warranty too), but I have no guarantee I’ll get it back before our gig. So… as I’ve gotten into the habit after learning the hard way, I like to have redundant everything—I bought another one 🙂 🙁

    Money, money, money— I hope by doing these gigs I’ll at least be able to pay for my equipment, that’s all I want. I’m not looking to get rich, yet. Then I could give Steve back his amp and buy one of my own. If I ever do any real DJ’ing, I need a sub, and an amp for my sub and another for my main speakers. Plus, I need a van or truck or trailer or something or another. But I’ll make do for now.

    So I needed to get a new CD player anyway because mine in my computer room has been skipping a lot recently. It’s sooo old. And I needed one for Mercy’s singing, so I found this nice one at Best Buy that is a 5 CD changer and does MP3s! How cool is that? I haven’t tested the MP3 part yet, but I should be able to burn a disc tonight for it. It even has digital out, and all for $120. Can’t beat that. Except the digital cables are $40 bucks EACH! That just broke my heart, seeing as I had to buy 2 of them. But now I’m set.

    My wish list: wireless microphone, 2 nice Crown amps, subwoofer, crossover, equalizer, another CD player for mixing, and a van. Sigh…

  • Midnight note & new poems

    What is up with me and these midnight entries?? hmmm anyway, just one news note – NEW NOVEMBER POETRY!! read it, and better yet tell me what you think. that’s why it’s there. today’s addition to the loneliness page is – putting freshly washed sheets on the bed and no one to share them with.

  • Big speakers weekend

    so i bit the bullet and now i have these unbelievably huge speakers. i went to mars early saturday morning and bought two jbl tr225’s. 2 15″ woofers and a horn for highs.

    of course, i didn’t have anything to plug them into, so i had to wait till tonight to hear them! and boy do they rock. one of my ears still feels like someone is pushing into it with their fist constantly.

    these babies handle 450 watts RMS, and 1800 watt peak! steve brought over a crown amp that really pushed them and we hooked it up to my mixer board and even ran a game of UT on it! rock on!

    i also bought a compressor/limiter that i will use to plug into the mic line. oww my ear hurts! i also tested some last night running my guitar through the compressor and it made a huge difference in the sound of it. so i’m gonna hopefully have something recorded through it pretty soon now.

    other than that, i just stayed at home all weekend. playing with my new toys. went to an early thanksgiving dinner sunday.

    i need sleep. i wanna make some music, i wanna play a game. i wanna clean my house.

    took me a while to put up all our toys me and steve brought out tonight. each speaker weighs 90 pounds! and the amps aren’t light either. but now my room doesn’t look like my current cam pic which is full of equipment. like anyone sees my room or anything else here anyway.

  • Cons, poems, and wild dreams

    Ok, if you’re just dumb then quit reading. evidently your dumb cuz your still reading this though.

    anyway, i just made a section for con reports on the links there. so the con report for nekocon is there. still working on it! lots of pictures, i have 3 pages done so far.

    new november poetry will be appearing in just a few minutes as soon as i can post it.

    i’ve decided to quit school. its not my responsibility to teach the class just because i know more than anyone else. i’m going to learn just like everyone else is, but i ain’t learning a thing. ahh well. lets me concentrate on more important thingies.

    one of my favorite quotes this week has got to be ‘are you the one who wrote that perverted song?’ (or something like that) from a lady in cali. ahh i have fans. anyway, hi jessica if you ever get your computer running again. i swear i didn’t put that virus on it 😉

    i actually want to make my latest poem into a song, but no luck yet. i have found a few good synths, but i need a good program to generate some nice warm pad sounds. i have found some, but i want a free one!! anyway….

    hmm i’m really trying to update more.. so what can i say?… ah.. i have had some pretty strange dreams. i almost hate a certain person for calling me early saturday morning and disrupting it. it was so sensual, yet it was nothing sexual about it. sorry, i can’t explain it. but i had the love of my life literally (i hate that word) in the palm of my hand and i chose not to come out of the dream world just yet, so we stayed a little longer. problem is, we never came back out together ….

    at least it’s better than the nightmares i had been having recently. i don’t think anything’s as bad as having the depths of hell come after you in one dream, you get murdered in another dream, and you just have this overwhelming feeling that another dream is going to turn out very badly when it suddenly ends. and to top it all off, all three of those dreams were in one night!! what is going on with me?

    i’d love to have a dream recorder. i’d pay lots of cash for it. problem is i don’t have lots of cash. i’d love to be able to remember my dreams better. i really do love my dreams.

    and i just simply dont have bad dreams. so it was pretty disturbing to have all these bad dreams i have been having recently. i have had bad dreams. just none in a looong time.

  • Con pics and tees

    Morning! 😉 I finally got my pictures back from our con trip!!! Yea!!

    I have hence begun work on my very own con report for NekoCon 2001!!! Check it out. umm i guess i will put it under the Articles section. How’s that? There’s only one thing there now anyway, it needs company. eheh

    Please look at it, i spent a good deal amount of time and energy in getting these pictures and providing this info to you. Read it, look at the nice pics.

    Click on my banner ads! Better yet, buy one of these crazy t-shirts from tshirthell.

    BTW, today, i just received word on a new shirt in stock!! Here’s a quote: Just a quick e-mail to let everyone know that we have put a few new shirts up including one for all you UNIX people out there (rm -rf /bin/laden).

  • T-shirts, UT, and Weekend TV

    So, i saw this ad on another site somewhere or another, and thought it was too funny to pass up. tshirthell has some funny shirts that i know some of you may be interested in. so check them out and get one, most are only $16 bucks. and don’t worry, they got some raunchy ones too!

    i’m feeling a lot better, although i just haven’t been getting enough sleep recently. but that’s what the weekend is for, right? no plans yet for weekend, i suppose me and pretzel boy will collaborate some.

    friday night, me and friends are going to play some ut. i will undoubtedly kick booty as always. check out our web page for our ut server at ut.vance.net. my custom maps are on there, and so are viper’s. we make maps for the game and put them on our server for all to enjoy. we’ve got our own little fan base going. our server is frequently busy with players, it’s great to have others enjoy one of your own creations like this.

    i just haven’t been doing a lot of mapping lately. been interested in my other projects, mostly music. i need some new guitar strings for my acoustic alvarez. it’s starting to sound dull. in a quest to keep you coming here, i really am going to try to write more often. that’s what this is before, as i said earlier. my expressions of ideas and ideals.

    i need cash. there’s things i want to buy. i need some music equipment for when i start dj’ing. i need a new computer. i need to take my animals to the vet. one thing i don’t sacrifice on is food. i’m not going to suffer through not eating. that’s not the american way.

    there was some show on pbs the other night on things called colonials. or something like that. places in southern texas and scattered around other parts of the country where these people, mostly of mexican descent, were lured to these places to build their homes because farmers were selling land cheap. what these buyers didnt know is that this was being done under the table, and not reported to the local officials. therefore, no sewer, or water was ever run to these developments. been that way for almost 40 years.

    these places are out in the desert sometimes. one is in the middle of a dried up lake. when it rains, the ground instantly fills with water. they have no real roads there, so the people sometimes can not get out to work, or can’t get back home. finally a bunch of them got together and went before their county officials and demanded some money for things like roads and sewer and water and they are starting to get them.

    some of the officials were like well lets just deport them, but they can’t because these aren’t illegal immigrants. these are American citizens. they can’t get out because they make little money at the jobs they have, they have to pay so much money to keep up their old houses like this one guy actually saved up enough money to build a really nice house and his own water well cuz he couldn’t get water. turned out it was very hard water, and every 2 years he has to replace all his fixtures in the house. he can’t do much with the water but water the grass. anyway…

    i wanted to see the american race the other night but the stupid country music awards were on. the only reason i watch that show is cuz that girl emily on there is so cute. and she actually has a personality. i was pretty upset last episode when her and her mom came in last place. then the guys said that that wasn’t a critical point and they would not be kicked off the game. so she’s on for one more show.

    the other day i went grocery shopping. i spent too much money on food that day, but i got a lot of stuff i wanted. and a new addition to the loneliness page is when you walk by an aisle of greeting cards and your first thought is to buy one for the sole purpose of sending it to your self.

  • New Cam, Same Ramble

    New web cam software, seeing as how Logitech seemed to take out all custom functions in their new version of the quick cam software. So i’m trying out some new stuff. While i was here, i cleaned up the pages a bit.

    Yea, i know, a lot of the old banners aren’t here anymore. No one clicked on them anyway, the accounts had already been turned off for inactivity. Thanks for your support.

    Yea, i know, i removed a lot of the old news from the main page. No one read it anyway. Thanks for your support.

    I’m leaving up the paypal logo and the top banner ads. No one clicks on them anyway, but if you did click on something those are the two best things to click on. Thanks for your support.

    Page hits are down, and this site was never about hits, or making money. It was about me sharing my ideas with you. It’s about my poetry, stories, music, and my odd news commentary. Just me being me. I even share pics of myself sometimes.

    However, since October 12, there have only been 8 different visitors to this site. That number may actually be higher, i’m not counting IP addresses that are showing up in the logs, only IP’s that have a reverse dns entry, for instance i can tell that someone from aol came here, or mindspring, or the like. Some don’t have a name though.

    So what’s the deal. What more do you want? Free porn is always a good thing to attract people, but i’ve had people i care for tell me they wouldn’t link to my page if i had porn (although its a moot point since she’s never linked to me anyway ahem.. 😉 , so i’m not going to go that route.

    Give away free things? Ha! If i actually made a penny from this site, i’d be ecstatic, and free things have to be paid for by someone. To be honest, as of this very second, i have made approximately $2.50 from this site since i launched it in june of 2001. So what else could i offer?

    I could write about my pathetic life more. I have tried to keep my personal life out of the site. When i feel down and i think it can’t be worse, i read something awful, or stileproject. A day in the life of stile just sucks so bad, it will make anyone’s life seem like a walk in the clouds.

    Do you know what all these little words with underlines are for? That means you can click on them. It means it will take you somewhere else so you can waste more time. Examine some of the links i post, they are there for a reason. And like the last 2 links, they don’t always take you to the same place just because i’m talking about the same thing. The links i choose to include here compliment what i am writing. Use them.

    Fine, you want pathetic life. No problem. Although now i’m not in the mood to write about my pathetic life, i’d rather write about my pathetic web page. I’d rather ramble about nothingness because that’s what blog‘s are for.

    I just added a new thingy to here, please rate my page using the link on the right hand side there. Be honest, i dont’ care. I just want you to click on it. You dont’ have to fill out anything, just click on good or bad. How hard is that?

    Yea, i removed all the real old news. Dont worry, i still have it archived, just no way to get to it yet. I’m a pack rat, i keep stuff forever. I have all the news I’ve ever posted to here, even my very first message. Organized by the month it was posted. One day i’ll put that stuff up so you can get to it.

    Ramble ramble ramble i keep old stuff. I have a darth vader bank that was sold when the original star wars came out, like in 1977. I bet it’s worth something now. But i wouldn’t sell it. It’s shaped like darth’s head. Made out of ceramic or something. Of course, there’s no money in it. Just like there’s no money in my checking account. But i keep getting these things from a credit card place that says $4,200 on it, so that must be where my money is. Hmmm ramble ramble

    Spam is just terrible. I mean email spam. But as much as i hate it i would like a targeted email system if i had to choose anything. I don’t need to loose 30 pounds in a week. I dont need a bigger penis, i dont’ need to increase my breast size. I don’t want a free camera, i dont need to investigate someone, i dont need a divorce lawyer, i don’t want to reduce my long distance costs, and i sure as hell don’t want fresh vegetables to use as sexual toys. Ramble………………….

    The anime convention was most excellent. I was waiting to post my report on it till i got my pictures back, but they haven’t arrived yet. 8 rolls of film!! We had a load of fun though.

    Bush gardens was waaayyy too crowded. We had to wait in line just to cross over some of the big bridges there to get around the park. We waited 2 hours to ride alpengheist. We didn’t even get to ride one of the coasters there. But i had to partake in our annual trip, so i have not broken tradition. Ramble

    Music is music to my ears. I’ve been working on more dance techno style things. I do have some guitar songs done, but i haven’t recorded them good yet. I’m going to collaborate with pretzelboy on making some pop dance style stuff. Information society, hooverphonic, kind of stuff. I’m going to start dj’ing for my other friend who is getting some singing gigs. I have a good feeling about that in several ways.

    I need some equipment though, if you have any PA eq to sell, let me know. School sucks. That’s all it deserves now. Dance dance revolution is a great game. They had a tourney at the con.

    I purchased the 5th mix soundtrack, and i love it. Lots of good songs on there, introduced me to lots of good artists, smile.dk, bambee, atomic kitten, e-rotic, aromabar, and even mike oldfield. Listening to aromabar -winter pagent now. What part did i play?? Good slow trance style. Purchased the full version of fruityloops this week. I love it. Piano roll is very handy. You can do amazing things with this software. Contemplating purchasing Vegas audio/video for multitrack editing.

    There’s so many red squiggly lines on this page its unreal. Ohhh look theres one now, and another, and heres one too. Got new eric clapton cd. Its ok. Still like unplugged better. Ramble ramble……

    I’m going to make a page with just ads for dating services. They will help us losers out who are single and hopeless, not to mention give me a small kickback. They do work, its not the services fault you are ugly and stupid and dont know anything. But you never know.

    I want to change the way i display poetry here. I want to put each poem in its own file and have it randomly select a few to print when you go to poetry. I want to create a way i can add a poem from anywhere, and news too. All things i envisioned being able to do when i started this. Just haven’t done it.

    Web page work has died down because i’ve lost interest. Not this site, but my other commercial sites. Plus lack of money hurts too :(. But i do have ventures lets just leave it at that. I dont know where i will be long term. Not computers. Computers is a job. It pays bills. I do enjoy it, and am competent at the things i do. I could do more. But it’s not my thing.

    I’m creative. I want to create things. That’s the only reason i really wanted to do web pages because i would be creating something. But that’s not artistic. I want to be a famous poet. I want to be known in the underground circuits as a great song writer. Long term goals here. Work gets in the way of my ambitions.

    I need to learn and practice. Im tired of this A+ certification class i’m taking. As soon as it’s over, i’m finding a guitar or some kind of music class. I’ve never taken any music lessons in my life. All i know i have taught myself. I could do more. I know no music theory cept if it sounds good go with it. Sometimes that’s all you need though.

    I’m sick. It hurts to breathe, it hurts to drink a glass of milk. I love milk. I didn’t want to eat tonight, but i knew i had to. I feel like i can’t stay out of work. I have 3 places to be already scheduled for the morning. Maybe i’ll do those and go home.

    I dont take vacation at work because i’m afraid something will happen and no one will know what to do. Besides, i dont’ have anyone to take vacation with anyway so it doesn’t matter. I was supposed to have taken a big trip to disney world September for a whole week, but that got abruptly cancelled without my participation.

    I want to create a pathetic loneliness page that lists ways to describe loneliness. Maybe a song, or poem. But today’s addition to the list is staying home sick and knowing there’s no one there to take care of you. I’m done.

  • Road Trips: Busch & NekoCon

    Its time to spend some gas, and take a little adventure to get away from this place! This Saturday marks our trip to Busch Gardens in Virginia. If you’d like to join our caravan just let me know.

    Speaking of road trips, the weekend after, the 26, 27 and 28th of October brings another trip back to Virginia for Neko Con.

    Three days of fun and adventure in Virginia Beach. If you’d like to join our party there, just let me know. All the beds in our hotel room are booked, but we can rent out floor space! Doesn’t this just set the tone for the con? Check out a section of rules from the Cosplay “Remember no costume is still no costume!! Nudity on stage is really discouraged. If you have a skimpy costume, be sure it’s secure enough that when you get on stage, you don’t end up giving the judges and fans a show you will never forget or possibly live down. Also, excessive use of foul language on stage will be grounds for disqualification from competition and having Tex sicced on you.”

    The last anime con I went to which was earlier this year in Durham, NC, Animazement really surprised me, and i enjoyed it a lot more than I thought. I wish i had a chance to participate in more of the events, so now i got 3 days to do that! Con is open day and night, 24 hours, for all sorts of activities, games, movies, classes, hotel room parties, and of course, lots of cute girls dressed as their favorite anime characters.

    We’re gathering some people to go to Animazement for 2002 in May, if you’d like to join us, let me know.

    Whats in store for Nekocon? Here’s a quote from fansview – “NekoCon returns to Virginia Beach, Virginia for its fourth year. Guests of honor include singer and songwriter Mari Iijima, artists Fred Perry, John Barrett, Colleen Doran and Robert DeJesus, animator Scott Frazier, Steven Bennett, Stephanie Brown and Doug Smith of Studio Ironcat, costumer Nickey Froberg, Viz Video producer Toshifumi Yoshida, The Right Stuf producer Jeff Thompson; Sean Carolan & Jenn Moore, writers for the Power Puff Girls comic, and actor Michael Brady.”

  • Bert, Bin Laden & Links

    This is just too funny to pass up and post lots and lots of links. If you don’t love me for this, i dont know what else to do for you. Everyone cultured on the internet should have already discovered the Bert Is Evil site. If not, looks like your too late, as of today, the site’s index page says he is taking the site down. Hmm, let me see if i can find a mirror..Ok, here goes 😉 this mirror is working as of right now, i can’t guarantee how long it will work though. check out bert is evil mirror. Ok, now, we have established the fact that Bert is evil. Who else is evil? At one time, Microsoft was more evil than satan himself. and I’m so glad front page is kind and knowledgeable enough to tell me that satan is supposed to be capitalized. so, I’m leaving it as satan. there. anyway, so who is more evil than Microsoft? Well, Bin Laden of course!! Right now, anyway. Henceforth, what better duo in this evil world could we have than Bert and Bin Laden?? Yep, that would be cool, but apparently our worst fears have been realized. Yep, to quote a Yahoo news article:

    Mysteriously, the image made the jump from the virtual world to the real one, appearing on bin Laden placards at anti-American Muslim rallies in Bangladesh over the past week. The posters, which show a tiny Bert tucked between two images of bin Laden, were clutched by seemingly unsuspecting demonstrators at rallies on October 5 and 9.

    So, want my cool searching abilities to shine through? Here is my collection of links i’ve found on this. Notice my notes on some of them, it appears that there is a discrepancy as to who actually created this picture, and also as to who started the Bert Is Evil site.

    Pictures: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/p/nm/20011009/wl/imdf09102001085522a.html

    http://www.angelfire.com/de/cheatsbert/p3laden.html – this guy claims to be the one who created the picture, according to the site. his name on the site is J-roen.

    news : http://plaza.v-wave.com/bert/realnews.htm

    http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/33725.htm – hmmm this particular site quotes the dude at bert is evil as admitting that he created the picture. it lists the bert is evil page to be at http://www.spacecat.com/bert/ however, but it does look like a mirror of the site. this site quotes this:

    The site’s Canadian creator says the photo on the poster was taken from his Web site. “That’s the exact same photo,” Dennis Pozniak told The Post from Edmonton, Alberta. Pozniak, 20, said he altered and posted the picture of bin Laden in 1998, but took it off the Web site shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks after complaints poured in.

    http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011011/od/binladen_dc.html – while this one says that he did NOT create it. but, it also these articles are talking about two different people! hmmm To quote this article: Part of the mystery can be traced to California.

    A San Francisco artist, Dino Ignacio, in 1998 started a conspiratorial spoof site called “Bert is Evil,” in which Bert is inserted into famous historical photos.

    He has appeared alongside Adolph Hitler and among a crowd in Dallas as John F. Kennedy’s motorcade passes.

    Ignacio put a statement on his site, www.fractalcow.com, on Wednesday denying he was the creator of the Bert and bin Laden image.

    “I just wanted to say I had nothing do to with this!” the statement reads. “This image has been e-mailed to me countless times since September 11. Yesterday a lot of you alerted me to a picture of a Taliban propaganda poster with Bert!”
