Pink 4 October
If you are wonder why my site has such a feminine color it's because I'm supporting <a href="http://pinkforoctober.org/?page_id=2">Pink for October</a> which is a group promoting <a href="http://nbcam.org/">National Breast Cancer Awareness Month</a>.
I know I'm 24 days late but I figure I'll make up with this nice pink redesign. I'll keep this up unitll I get the urge to finish hyper leaf which is a style I started working a few weeks ago. I never finished because I don't know if I want to go orange or green. I can't do both because I've had that before.
That's all I have to say for now. Please support the cause!

I'm not superstitious
I'm not... But the stuff that has happened today can change that. I'm just happy to be alive really... Everything else that I had on my mind is nothing to me. Anyway what happened on today of all days will make you say "Holy Crap!" more times than Pamela Anderson can say "Deeper!"... I better spit it out before all my five viewers leave this site.
I rearended a truck today. I was going to school coming down Smith st. I was thinking about school and what not. The the sun blinded me and... THERE'S A TRUCK!11one!1!.!@#$@%$ -eh4t042 BOOOM!!aldf0489. So the next thing I'm screaming "Oh my god!" at the top of my lungs over and over again. The guy in the truck comes over to the door and I get out of the car. The guy asked if I was ok and I am(with the exception of a few bruses). So the guy calls the police. At that time I'm couldn't control myself my nerves were completely shot and the only thing I could think of is "How am I going to explain this one!". Before that my dad made me where a jacket after I didn't want to where one. Good thing he gave it to me
. Anyway I tried calling home on the truckers cell phone... Nothing. I tried a few more times and still got nothing. So then when the police arrived I used his cell phone and I still couldn't get through. About that time I saw my dad pulling up and I flagged him down. He gets out laughing and I'm and asked me "Herman how did you do this?". So I explained everything and he went and got my mother. She showed up in tears and just gave me a hug. I told her over and over that everything is fine and I'm ok. So the police officer who was inspecting the wreck came over and told me that I will not get a ticket. Because the truck drive was parked on the side of the road and didn't have any cones up he was at fault.
I'll finish this later. But if you five are worried... Don't. I'm fine.

Free time to work
I finally got some free time to work on this site. Yes I know it's funny that I work when I'm not working but this work is fun(to some extent). Most of my updates are security related and bug fixes. I made the Archive section for all my loyal readers to be able to browse through my wonderful topics. I also use the archives to keep track of new comments. I did some major updates to the comments page. The main thing that I want to point out about the update in the comments page is that you do not have to input a site to post a comment. I finally made it to where if you don't submit a site your name is not an anchor. The only thing is when implementing this piece of code I ran across a very n00bish mistake that caused me to spend more time than the simple 2 minute job that was required. First off I didn't use RegEx(which I should have). I used a conditional and the nifty default for mysql. Here is the mistake a made...
if($site = 0)
Now any PHP programmer would know the mistake right off and start calling me the deserved name n00b. For those of you who don't know. The statement above was setting $site equal to 0 instead of comparing it. This caused the problem to where all the sites in the comments came up as 0. I changed it after I pondered why this phenomenon was happening to this...
if($site = '0')
It worked and I cried because I just lost like 10 extra minutes of sleep from such a simple mistake.
That's enough about programming for today. Let me blab on for the next few lines about my life to current times. Well I worked and went to school. I played warcraft. I bought a few t-shirts from thinkgeek.com. I'm still doing Access in my computer class. I know why he's teaching it to us but many others don't. I wish he would teach us DBMS using MySQL or Oracle. At least then we wouldn't have to suffer the terrible "made for GUI dependent" interface. If you don't get it by now my life is boring with out my computer experiences. ![]()

Not everyone owns an iPod
I bought a few songs today using iTunes. These songs are ones that are very hard to find in stores and get illegaly. After I got my songs I wanted to load them up on my creative zen nano. Well my mp3 player didn't recoginze the files. So I took a look to find out that the songs I bought are M4P encoded. The only things that can play M4Ps are Apple's Software and Apple Products(the iPod). Apple states that this is for copyright protection... WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!! You know as well as I do that the only reason for this format is for Apple to sell their crapy over priced products to gullible customers. Now I have to take the songs that I paid for and convert them using one of the many free programs that allows me to do so just to be able to play it on anything that doesn't have an Apple logo.
