Well, I haven’t blogged in a while. The older I get, the more time seems to fly. Before I know it, it’s been almost a month since my last real blog post.

So, I’m back at school now. Enduring very boring classes the best I can, I just want high school to be done once and for all. I am very grateful it’s my last year! After high school, I really don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s kind of scary…

Anyway, what news do I have? Hmm. Nothing, really This month has been unusually uneventful (excluding the single tragic affair posted below, to which I don’t particularly want to elaborate). Only news has to do with some crazy family issues; my moms’ sisters’ ex-fiancee is a complete psycho, and is stirring up a bunch of stuff.

Uhmm… I still need to get TNT up and going. I asked Nick if he would like to dev it with me, he said sure, but I need to set up a SVN repos first. My host allows me to do so, but doesn’t have any of the authentication tools so I have to connect through an SSH tunnel. And though I trust Nick enough, I’m not fond of giving out SSH access, even if it is through a public key. So, I’ll see if I can get them to set something else up.

I think I should also give a congrats over to Kevin. He’s participated in an Ontario entrepreneur program for high school students. He signed up, presented a plan, and they gave him some cash to start his own company. He’s been very successful with his idea surrounding his Salem character, selling T-Shirts, stickers etc. He’s even got interviews at West 49 to sell another one of his creations. So congrats and good luck goes out to him

Then there’s the usual Webmaster-Talk news We’ve got a new design ready for WT that looks really slick (was professionally designed, some people say it looks stock — but I really like it). I’m waiting for the next release of vB3.5 to come out (be it RC4 or Gold, I’m hoping for the latter) to start skinning. I can’t wait! I really don’t like the current WT design too much.

I’m getting an iPod tomorrow. I convinced my parents to loan me some money. I’m paying $200 up front, and $100 each month until it’s paid off (so, 2 months). I was going to get the new nano (because it’s so damn cool) but after I convinced my parents to loan me the money I though I’d just go for the big guns So because of this and to my friends’ dismay, I’m still not going to get a cell phone Especially after my buddy had a bill of $80 after downloading a bunch of $3 ringtones :rolleyes: Really what bothers me is the price of the phone. To get a phone cheaply, you have to get tied into a contract for 2 years. What I want is a cool phone, but with the “pay as you go” things. Until I’m rich, I think I’ll just mooch other peoples’ cell phones.

Time to wrap this post up, it’s almost 1AM now
