While there wasn't anything technically wrong with my new Avatar page, the dern thing took too long to load. For many people, it seemed to freeze up. So, although the entire process of creating it all in the first place took forever, I undertook the arduous task of resaving every single bmp to gifs and jpgs, and then redid the HTML to reflect those changes. Whew, I'm finally done at 2 in the morning! Let's hope I get enough rest to be concious enough in the morning to upload it all. On the brighter side, I shaved 1.6MB off of the avatars, so it shouldn't take as long as last time to upload. Also, the Shrine has been hit with a major update. Many of the new sections aren't yet up, but you'll get an idea of what I have planned. Also, the RHTCRJPB Saga is now linked correctly. So why not widdle away some of these long summer days reading the multichaptered epic? Have fun! I'm off to get me some shut-eye, and hopefully meet Cindy again... *wink* =o) Chow!

Whelp everyone, I'm off to another trip! This time it's California, my previous stomping grounds. Ahh, so many memories. Luckily, this time I'm flying, instead of driving like we did for Colorado (ugh). Wish me luck! And behave yourselves while I'm away! I don't want to come back to find there was another trip, in which I was sentenced to life with Bubba...

Heyya! I'm back! Not too much happened on my trip. At the very least, I got out of household chores for awhile. =o) I mainly just hung out in California. Saw Rush Hour 2, went to the Tech Museum, bought a speedo. You know, typical stuff. As for other news, the Links page has been updated with some useful sites. At least, I found them helpful, so hopefully you will too. Otay, it's getting late, so I might as well hit the hay. Or my cousin when I get up. He hogged most of the computer time up in California! Grrr...

Alrighty! I've finally chosen the new divider! It was a tough decision--like choosing between five fabulously beautiful supermodels; you love 'em all! But I finally went with the feet. My primary reason was that they had a whimsical feel, which best reflects this site. Afterall, the entire thing is a parody on evil. =o) So, this is what I'll be using from now on, unless I find/make something better in the future. Thanks to all who voted! The time you used to post was wasted, and your contribution will be forgotten. Thank you! =o)

Otay, we've got more updates! Sometime in the future, though, I may run out of things to upload. But since I'm such a lazy bastard, that won't be for a long while. =o) Anywho, three new stories of mine are up in the Shrine. Two epic tales of science fiction, Zroe and The Last Days, as well as the classic letter, Dear JM Robin. I've also added the website of Tails, one of our resident boardies, to the Links section. So, hopefully all this junk will tide you over until the next little update. Not that I imagine you sitting at your desk, anxiously awaiting the next tidbit of news. Hehe, not at all...

Psst! You hear that? It's a tiny pitter-patter, in the distance. A low, methodical sound. The sound of marching. Hundreds and hundreds of smilies are on their way. And I mean hundreds. Close to 800 smilies, to be precise. The only delay is organizing them all into coherent ranks, so they'll be easier to use on our forums. If I keep a vigil on working on them, it may be done in a few days. (Not counting upload time) Then you also have to add in the "laziness" factor. So, if all goes well, they should be up in a week. Then again, certain peaple have been bugging me to write the rest of my universe in the Time/Space RPG on the messageboard. So who knows with all this craziness. In other news, I added some additional websites to the Links page, which all happen to be run by our local seductress, Holli.

Otay, progress on the new smilie library is advancing fairly well. So far, they've all been properly organized, and some new Javascript has been implimented into the page to allow better ease-of-use. As of now, 12 out of the 40 sections are done. So I still have a ways to go, not to mention upload time. I project I should be done by next week, hopefully. =o) Anywho, besides all that, I'd like you all to choose the format of how the smilies are presented. Go to Vinnie's Academy at the messageboard to cast your vote on which style you'd like to see. Thank you all for your patience. The end result should be well worth the wait.

Got milk? No, I drank it all, but I do have smilies! Still not done, though. Just an update on my progress. I've drudged through an endless stream of monotonous HTML coding, and have completed 22 of the total 40 sections for the 800 smilies. Looks like I'm about halfway done with half of the overall process. Wish me luck! (As in, pray my computer doesn't have a meltdown before everything is completed)

I have a grand announcement to make. Roses and I are...getting married! And everyone is invited to partake in our celebration! Come join the whimsical RPG on the messageboard, inside Murry's Movie Theater. We look forward to seeing you there! But watch out, we suspect someone is plotting to crash our wedding. Be sure to bring your shotguns, just in case...

After seeing the result from the poll, I have now added a new secion to the messageboards, Stan's Computer Lab. To sum it up, it's basically a place to talk computer jargon. Go check it out, and post if you have anything 'valid' to say. =o) As for the Smilie Library I have been "working on", not too much progress has been made. This is partly due to the awesome Brood War expansion I got for StarCraft. For those that have no idea what those two things I mentioned are, well, I guess you have an actual life. Good for you. As for me, I'm soaking up my waning hours of summer time learning how to effectively use all the new units, and play around with the map editor with the new terrains. (Yay!) Whelp, someday, the Smilie Library will become a reality. But school is fast approaching for me, so who knows when...

Wow. Over hits to this site. Simply unbelievable for a paltry little hole-in-the-wall site about nothing in particular. Especially after less than 2 months! Whelp, as I pat myself on the back, and then pat myself on the back some more as I take the liberty of eating the last Oreo, I'd like to inform you that today was my first day of school. Summer is now officially over for me. *sniff* But I'll survive, with enough crack-coffee. And maybe Mr. Pillow will accompany me on a few trips in my backpack... =o)

Otay, for those of you who futilely tried accessing my Bio page, there is now a disappointingly short page up and walking (I don't like to run). =o) So, if homeowork is giving you a headache, take some Aspirin and check it out. Also, under the threat of my life, I have been forced to add a link to Ann's site to my Links page. Please, go see it. I'm too young to die a virgin!
