Benign Thoughts

Wow! I’m really hyper today! I’m soooooooooooooooooooooo hyper, but I’ll have to make tonight’s entry fairly short because well, it’s after 10:00 and my dad’ll be shutting off my internet. I think I’ll include one of my photos today, just for the heck of it. It’s a fairly pointless picture, just me playing around with buttons on the camera and effects in The GIMP. I guess I should get started.

Hooray for frozen foods!!! When I got home from Boy Scouts today, I found myself very, very hungry. I already had dinner, which was chicken cutlets, but I wasn’t sure what to eat as a snack. That’s when it hit me, TAQUITOS!!! I can simply stick 4 taquitos in the microwave for 2 minutes, and BAM! Instant yumminess. Yumminess… that’s a good word. I’ll have to remember that one sometime

Two more people tried to steal my screenname today. Damn, are they ever going to stop? I have the e-mail addresses, so I’ll sign them up for as much crap as possible.

That’s it, I’ll blog more tomorrow, because I need to sleep now, g’night!

Today’s site of the day: Feedster!

Wow, I haven’t blogged in a long time… Now, this post was originally on Collective Thoughts, but I’m putting it here because it’s back up. I have a good amount of stuff to blog about today, so here it goes :).

Friday was my birthday!! I just turned 14 on friday, so I’m thrilled. I didn’t have my party yet because I was out friday night with Caitlin and two of her friends. We went to see a school play, which just happened to be Annie. I’ve always liked Annie, and a few years ago I got to meet Carol Bernett (she’s Miss Hannigan in the movie) when she was doing a broadway show. I’m sorry that I’m so messed up today, but I guess you can blame that on my stupidity right now (I’m doing around 40 things at once and it’s driving me CRAZY!).

I got a Digital Camera for my Birthday! I’m sooooooooooooo happy now that I can upload some pics. I’m probobly not gonna include any people, but I can include places and stuff like that. Most of them will not look very natural, because I’ll probobly do some crazy colorizing, just because I feel like it :). Until I can get some problems with Images on this site (Collective-Thoughts), you’re not going to be seeing any of the pics that I take here. I’m sorry :(.

Speaking of my little trademark effect, you’re not going to be seeing any tutorials on how to do it, because I’d like to keep that my little secret. All I really do is go wild with the paintbrush and go wild with all of the little features. It’s no big deal, but people make it seem like it takes a rocket scientist to do it.

Well, that’s it for today! I’ll post some more tomorrow (on BT site too, if it’s back)

Today’s Site of the day is: Out Of Ambit

Well then, I have a good amount of stuff to talk about today, but some wierd stuff happened, which I’ll tell you about, but first I’d like to point out that many more people have been trying to obtain my screenname by using the “Groups Exploit”, which isn’t really an exploit.

Louis, what is the “Groups Exploit”? Well, I’m glad you asked me that! It’s a method that n00bs use to get a screenname. Technically, it isn’t really an exploit since AOL knows about it, and they’re just keeping it there to get rid of invalid e-mails. What you do, is you sign in on your screenname, and join any group. Then, you invite the people who’s screenname you want, and if you get a bounce e-mail back that contains a free e-mail address (like hotmail), you sign up for that address, then you request the password from AOL. It doesn’t usually work, and it’s just plain annoying. In fact, if anybody uses that method, then they’re desperate.

Now for that odd thing that happened… It seems as though somebody got into my WordPress and stuck some jibberish into yesterday’s post. I’m sorry if anything else happened that I don’t know about, but I’m working on figuring out who this person is because every action on my site is logged, so it shouldn’t be too hard. When I figure out the IP, I will post it here for everybody to see.

Today’s Site of The Day is Kirupa!
The site of the day is a new little thing that I’m trying out. I might keep doing it for a day, a week, or forever and ever. It all depends on my mood :). It opens in a frame, so if for some crazy reason your browser doesn’t support frames, sorry!

Well, I don’t really know what to blog about today. I guess I should make this blog extra long because I didn’t blog yesterday.

The reason that I didn’t blog yesterday was that I was too busy working on the new site (Collective-Thoughts). You see, for that site we use the same version of wordpress as I do here, but we needed to modify it in little ways. First of all, the Upload script didn’t work, so I had to fix that (admin panel). Then, we decided to integrate the ability to post a quote into WordPress’s admin panel. We also had to make every single page valid XHTML (1.1). The only problem that we’re having is that the quotes page might not be able to work due to the 1.1, but it is valid 1.0, so I don’t know…

Remyx.net had a screenname giveaway and apparently, they thought they had my screenname (U12) to give away. It turns out that I cracked it a while before they did, and when Scott got the e-mail (long story), he immediatly changed the password and the e-mail address, so they didn’t succeed in getting the screenname. Well, they “gave it away” yesturday, and now I’m getting a ton of e-mails.

My science project doesn’t work! The project was to make a vehicle that uses Newton’s laws to move 1.5 meters. I decided to attach a propeller to some balloons on a stick thing, and use a rubber band to make it go. Well, it certainly would be able to move, if it didn’t spin out of control. The propeller is just meant to give it that initial “push”, this way it would be able to keep going. The balloons are filled with Helium, because I have a fairly large tank full of it (fun fun fun)

I’m sorry I didn’t blog today, I’ve been working on Collective-Thoughts.com. I promise that I’ll blog tomorrow

Well, I just got started on another little project of mine. Bobby, me, and a whole bunch of other people are making a joint blog named “Collective-Thoughts”. It’ll be awesome, because we’re going to get a domain name for it and everything. When it’s completely done, I’ll add a button to the sidebar.

Speaking of the sidebar, I’ve changed around my site to use php to generate the sidebar and everything else but the content, this way all I have to do is edit one file to make all the pages update. Isn’t that awesome? lol, I sure think so! Anyway, Collective-Thoughts uses this technique too, so both sites have a ton in common.

Somebody tried to steal my screenname today using the groups@aol exploit! I feel so special :). Anyway, it didn’t work, because I used a real e-mail address, so TOO BAD YOU STINKIN’ NEWBIES!!! What’s really funny, is that this screenname is stolen to begin with (using VenomCrack). Anyway, this guy had an AOL e-mail address, so I think I’ll just post it here, this way the spambots can get to him :). Here it is: “hswimm2005@aol.com”. If anybody wants to use it to sign up for porn, go ahead. To make things worse, the guy’s group was “WOOT PWNAGE”, which is very newbish (bwah ha ha ha, I stole Scott’s word).

Ok, Bobby (formerly known as aznbeady) and I are making a joint-blog project because we figured that it would be a fun thing to do. If any of you are willing to do it with us, post your application here. You must be:
Good with computers
Be able to blog well (ex. if you have a xanga, livejournal, weedweb, diary-x, or any other Journal/blog/diary service, you’re set)
You NEED to know HTML or XHTML
Some experience with PHP would be nice
Knowing Flash is a definite plus
Linux experience is another definite plus
SPELLING! NO “1337 5p34K”
and anything else you think would look good is good

We’re only accepting 3 people, so hurry up! These people should be between the ages of 12 and 16. Here’s another thing, these people will not only be selected from here, so yeah.
A page with information on this will be online soon. All people interested will be interviewed via AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, or IRC (NO MSN!! MSN IS EVIL!) and you must be online frequently.

If you want, you can contact us VIA AIM at malignanthoughts or U12.
