- It has been a long day. Today started out really nice. It was
almost cold driving to class with the windows down. Physics was
extremely stimulating as usual. I've got a linear test Wednesday. Wheee!!
Actually I am not worried at all because we have yet to do anything that I
was not taught in Algebra II. So I did my CS lab report tonight so that I
can study a lot tomorrow. I told Berryhill that we are going to run again
tomorrow and he told me that he thought he was just going to go lift. He's
a pansy.

- Berryhill and I went running today. We ran two whole miles. I am so
out of shape. My legs are really stiff now. My short term goal is to be
able to run 2 miles in 15 minutes. Then I'll work up to a 5:30 mile :)

0000-00-00 00:00:00 64
- I decided to change my date format to HH:MM:SS M.D.Y

- The first game is today. We are going to kill Memphis. At least it
will not be 120 like it was last year since this game will start at 6 PM.

- My brother just sent me a nice one lined email today: "You have
nothing to complain about? Learn how to spell."
|
2001-08-27 00:00:00 60
- Everything is good. I'm trying to think of something to complain about
but for once I cannot think of anything.

- It has been a great week so far. Linear algebra is just like algebra 2
from the tenth grade. Physics is still in the intro stupid phase. In
physics everyone has a keypad to answer questions asked in class. There
was a really easy mass-volume-density-dimension problem today and only 40%
of the class got it right.

- I've got RedHat set up pretty good on Bill. My video driver installed on
the first try and samba was simple to get working. I even upgraded my
kernel to 2.4.9. Berryhill and I figured out how to get samba to work
right in Mandrake 8 today. That's one of the reasons I wanted to switch
back to RedHat. My other reason was that I couldn't get a kernel that I
compiled to work at all in Mandrake. My 2.4.9 kernel worked great after my
second attempt because I left out my network and sound drivers the first
try.

- Wheee, band camp is over.
- I got rid of mandrake last night and now I am working on getting
RedHat 7.1 to my liking.

Band camp started today. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (with a just a hint
of sarcasim) I got my uniform after about an hour wait. It takes a long
time to find stuff to fit someone who is 6'4" apparently. At one point
they gave me pants with a 32" waist and a 64" coat to try on. Hmmmmmmm.
Anyway I ended up with ~40" pants and a 48 jacket so everything is nice
even though a little baggy. There was a music rehearsal and I really
sucked. I haven't played my trumpet but once or twice this summer. Then we
marched from 6:30 to 9:30. I'm so tired now. Think I'll go to bed.
Brumfield moved in today. His room in Hathorn (or Cresswell, I mix
them up)
Berryhill came down this weekend from Southaven. He was helping Becky
move in. Becky's apartment is awesome. It makes College Park look like
crap. Well, College Park is crap. We had a nice "house warming" party
Saturday night.
Most of the floor in my room is visible now. My sink and the counter
around it shine. I just cleaned up the kitchen some too. Our garbage
disposal has still not been fixed even though it has been a week since we
reported that it was broken.

- I wrote an awful script last night to run as a cron job on bill that
will write the ip of the Win98 DSL server on a page I can find on the net.
First of all it ftp's to ra.msstate.edu as me and immediately disconnects.
Then it fingers me at ra to see where my last login was from and echos the
output from finger into a file. Then this horrible program I wrote in C
extracts the ip from the file and makes an output file named index.html
that has enough html in it to be useful. The script then ftp's to ra again
and uploads the new index.html. This happens pretty regularly at 3 minutes
after the hour.

- I have ALL of my mp3's organized now. All 2.5 GB of them. Every group
that I have > 2 songs gets its own directory. Everything else was dumped
into "misc." My Radiohead is the biggest at 244MB followed by Nirvana at
112MB and Collective Soul at 110MB. In doing this I cleaned up my /home
partition a lot and have it down to only 46% used. Here is my current
filesystem usage:

I must be pretty bored to be taking time to write this stuff. Anyway in my
file system setup I wasted a lot of space for /. Even with /bin, /etc,
/lib, /root, /boot, and /dev it is only 53MB. That's crazy, but maybe some
of those directories are linked from /usr. As far as I can tell they are
not. I know why my /tmp directory is so clean, it is because I have a 2GB
SCSI drive dedicated to it and there is nothing there at the moment.

- I wrote the most beautiful Java script for work today.
- I have began the great task of organizing my mp3's. I'm trying to
group them in subdirectories by artist.
- The best "radio station" in the world is http://205.188.234.34:8002. It will
only work if you have a nice connect to the internet though. Heark Cooks
Brain by Modest Mouse just came on and sounds pree on and sounds pretty good.

- This weekend was interesting. I picked David up from the W last Thursday
and he spent the night in Starkville. I went to work early Friday morning so
that David and I could leave around 12. The trip home went pretty good even
though my air did not work. When we got home me and my dad got one of the guys
he works with to help us put some R-12 in my car. I saw a few
people Friday night. I talked to Mr Donald until almost 3am.
Heost 3am.
He is fairly irritated about the upcoming parking policy for MSU football
games. Then Saturday I cleaned my car and made it pretty. David and I went to
Woodville to see our grandmother. I went to sleep really early Saturday night.
I got up at 7 Sunday morning and left for Starkville a little before 8. My air
was so cold. When I got back I had to go to Simrall and paint ISIP on the wall
of the demo room. It took me at least 2.5 hours of prep time because I taped up
everything really good andod and used an exacto knife to cut the letters out with.
We did not finish the room until about 10pm.
- Hehe, lots of people are switching to StarOffice and away from that
crap Microsoft calls software.
Here's a story. I just can't wait until StarOffice 6 comes out.

- I guess Code Red has run it's course. Thank God that the internet is not
held together by NT boxes. I keep getting "I need your advice on this so
download this file I attached" emails. I think these are from the SirCam virus
that hits Windows boxes. Back on Code Red, an "expert" said that it was going
to cause $8.7 billion in damage. WTF? All it takes to fix is a patch and a
reboot. How much does that cost? Maybe five minutes of uptime. And what is
five minutes of downtime to a NT/2000 box especially if they have to be
rebooted every week? So where does the $8.7 billion come from? The air?
- Tonight David (my brother), Sesti, Richelle, and I went running around
campus. I am so out of shape. Maybe band camp in two weeks will help, at
least if it does not kill me.
- Drove to Columbus and picked up my brother from PEP at MUW today. I get
to go home tomorrow. Wheeeee. I haven't been home since right after the
end of the spring semester which is only a week longer than my brother. Since
he went to Governors School and PEP without going home. I just hope thst hope that my
mom buys me lots of food.
- I did something really fun at work today. I began reorganizing an image
directory. It sounds really simple at first but after you have to try and
figure out what web pages point to which pictures it gets really fun.
- I found something fun to do today in linux. Run "cat /proc/kcore
/dev/dsp" That basically routes a copy of everything in your ram to the
sound card. If you have any recently played sounds stored in ram you w in ram you will be
able to hear them. Mostly though it is a lot of clicking and chirping. Almost
sounds like a techno beat. I think I could make a mp3 of the sounds of my ram
if I ran "cat /proc/kore neato.wav" and then encoded the wav into an mp3.
hmmmmmm something to think about.

- I got my first paycheck from the great MSU today. Wheeeee. Money is nice.

- You should go to ebay and bid on the crap I sell. Help ap I sell. Help me fund
college! Isn't this much more noble a way to help with tuition than posing
nude on one of those HOT COLLEGE AMATURES pages. My auctions can be viewed
here.

* No I was wrong. This is the fourth server I have had my page on. The second was Geocites. It stayed there a few months until ads were forced on my pages.
* So this is a new beginning for my webpage. This is the third server, ra.msstate.edu or www2.msstate.edu, that it has lived on. Before this it lived for about a year at www.redrival.com, and before that it lived at www.msms.doe.k12.ms.us. The REAL address for this site is www2.msstate.edu/~jns11 but since I own sesser.net and I can get free DNS from mydomain.com, *.sesser.net points here too.

-I filed about 15 Ebay Non-Paying bidder complaints today.

2001-07-06 00:00:00 46
-Some of the broken stuff is fixed now. But a lot of stuff is still ugly. I will get it fixed eventually.
-I have a job starting Monday. I'm going to work for the ISIP doing web design. It seems like it is going to be a lot of fun even though I'm going to have to work my ass off.

2001-06-26 00:00:00 45
-I'm working really hard on this page. RedRival sucks. I cannot even log in to get some of my webpages. I rewrote the Java scripts on the frontpage by hand. I've got this neato HTML editor called bluefish. It's only around a 400K download and it does a lot of stuff. I'm really going to keep this site up now. I just hope I can find a good place to put it.
-Richelle is 20, her birthday was Sunday. It is so wierd. We are so old. I'm dating an old woman. I'm still a mere teenager. Wah wah.
|
2010-05-10 07:00:00 44
-Wheee this is html.
-Wheee this is another line of html.
-Ok maybe I will update this page more often because Richelle wants me to and I think she finds it entertaining.
|
2001-01-02 00:00:00 43
-Ok I am going to try and keep up this page a little better.
-We just got back from the Independance Bowl. It was great. Right before the game started, it started snowing. And it snowed and snowed and snowed. MSU just barely kicked A&M's ass in overtime and that was great.

2000-08-07 00:00:00 42
-Wow, it's been just a little while since I updated this page.
-I leave for State Friday. I have to be up there so early for band camp. Classes will not start until the 21st. I can't wait to get out of here.
-Lifeguarding was fun. My last day was July 30th. According to Mrs Ogden it was a good year. wheeee
-I got another scholarship. It is named "Academic Scholarship" and I think it's worth 20000, or at least it is worth 5000 my freshman year. I'm definately not complaining about the extra money.
-Trae has become obscessed with bowling and we go pretty often now. Neither one of us have even broken 140 yet.

2000-06-13 00:00:00 41
-I am finally finished with that play. The last performance was Sunday afternoon. After seeing it the 20th time it gets just a little boring. What is really bad though is the girl that played Liat told me that she could see us making fun of her dance ine in the light booth. That's bad because we made fun of everyone and we thought the whole time that the stage lights made it impossible to see us. Anyway I did most of the sound effects on my laptop because I was afraid of using the tape. This is me playing the part of the loudspeaker near the end of the play and this is Erin playing Nellie in her announcement of Captain Brackett's appearance on stage.

2000-06-09 00:00:00 40
-It has been a while since I have had time to update this. I have been so busy. The lifeguarding job is pretty easy. It is a lot of fun. Brumfield got me involved in a Little Theatre play, South Pacific, doing the lights and sound. He then went to FL on vacation for a week and left me doing it by myself. He was back last night for opening night and just watched me and David run everything. Everything went good though. I just have four performances left.
|
2000-05-26 00:00:00 39
-I'm so bored. There is nothing for an unemployed high school grad to do. This Thursday I will start lifeguarding. I am going to make a whole $6.50 an hour for sitting on my ass watching people swim as compared to last summer when I worked really hard on a golf course for $5.50 an hour.
|
2000-05-22 00:00:00 38
-I've got prom pictures back now, I just have to get to a scanner. Erin looks most beautiful even though she says she looks rough.
-Last Friday was graduation. It was pretty good. I was number nine and got recognized as the Star student. The bad thing was the awful looking gold gowns. Why couldn't we have just worn blue like every other year?
-Last Thursday after graduation practice Trae, Lisa, Melissa, and I went to Clark Creek and spent about 4 hours down there. We built several dams and doing that was so entertaining that it scared us. I've got pictures being developed now.
-Last Wednesday was my last AP test, the Biology test. I think I did pretty good. I am much happier about it than the European exam. I really think I made a 4 on the Bio exam or at least I hope I did. Just if I pulled a 3 on the European exam I can be an AP scholar and that would be neat.
|
2000-05-16 00:00:00 37
-Wheeee, tomorrow is my last AP exam, it is biology so it should not be too hard. Then Friday is graduation.
-It has been an interesting week. My last day of school was last Thursday. On Friday I had to take the AP European exam. I did ok on the multiple choice but only one of my essays was any good. Friday night Brumfield and I cut Mr Moyer's (one of our assistant band leaders) grass. Then there was a storm that night and we had to go cut up a big limb that fell in his yard the next day. Saturday night was the Lady Blue's spring show and I got to see Lisa dance with them for the last time. Trae was a MC for it and his dancing was somewhat entertaining.
