And then they don't.
The last post I made that actually really said anything other than post a retarded picture said that I was 'inspired'. I was. Honest. I don't remember how it felt, but I really was.
It's not that I have the attention span of a hyperactive beagle. It's that after work I have about 3 hours to myself before I have to go to bed. My schedule feels so strict sometimes, but if I do not follow it I sleep in because I stayed up too late. During the hours after work I am usually trying to find something to eat and do something other than stare at a computer screen.
That usually fails. I am really good at not doing what I actually want.
I'm considering taking the site down and letting the domain expire, because I can't commit any time to doing anything interesting with it, and I am a firm believer that if you own a domain, you should do something interesting with it. Otherwise it is a waste of disk space and bandwidth. A former co-worker used his skills to make a video blog about him and his cohort traveling the fricking world, and I am spending all my time playing Warhammer online or streaming netflix movies.

Cue Drew Carey for the first bit.
August 10th, 2008 @ 11:04 pm 0 commentsI'm going to be in cleveland, Ohio later this week. I don't know why anyone aside from people directly involved in my personal life would care, but that is kind of the theme of this website anyway, so screw the rest of you.
When I was in college, there was a time (about two years) where I lived with some other guys in a rented house. One of the guys (danny), after about a year, decided to move to cleveland where he proceeded to research brain stuff and cut up mice brains (probably related to the brain stuff, but who knows with this guy). It was really awesome living in that house (at least as long as danny lived there. not so much when my boss from kmart lived there later on, but I am half responsible for the problems because I myself am a jerk-ass asshole sometimes).
Now that we have jobs that pay reasonably well, Chris (my other roomate from that time) and I go up once a year and hang out with Danny and his girlfriend and have a good ol' time for a few days. This will be trip number three and this time our friends Jon & Tommy will be attending. Jon and chris normally drag their families to this event, so at least Danny's girlfriend is not completely bored.

I have been learning flash and actionscript when I can stand to be on my computer after I get off work. Below is what I've done. It was inspired by one of the tutorials at gotoandlearn.com, which is a danged good site for learning flash.
It isn't done yet. You'll notice the icon only kind of rotates when you move your mouse. The aim is to get it to rotate based on your mouse position, but I got the equation wrong cause I can't remember trig. Blast. I still have my old calc books so I should be able to work it out.
