Ok, here's the rundown on the last few days. I've just been sitting around on my ass trying to get this one project together. It's been fun, but i keep getting distracted by other stupid things i start to code. I finally got my linux box a larger hard drive, and me being the newbie that i am with linux, it took me the better part of 10 hours to install and mount it. Then after i do get the thing in my box and working, i start screwing around with all my mp3's and move them all over to the new drive. Then that wasn't enough and i have to start screwing around with Andromeda as an mp3 server system. So long story short i didn't get much done in the last few days. LA Lakers did win game 7, and OMFG was it a great game to watch. Tomorrow is game 1 of the finals so that's gonna be a let down i think. The western teams are just so much more fun to watch play against each other. The lakers are gonna win. I already have my 3peat shirt.


Tuesday June 4th 2002 12:00 PM PST
I just started going through archive disks to find a piece of ol source. What i found is just too great to NOT put up.

That's OLD boxtop brian. heheheh


Tuesday June 4th 2002 03:40 PM PST
I always have disliked a lot of the way movie studios work, but since i work with them soooo damn much i usually just keep my mouth shut. I just am bitching because they made some money off me cause i wasn't paying attention. i went out and bought harry potter. and i actually bought a 2 disc set that has a second disc of features and everything. Blah blah blah. I get it home and open it up and opps. It's the "standard version". Now what the fuck is that all about? I actually know the answer to the question. IT'S ABOUT MONEY! And they got me. Now just because i'm a fuckin dipshit i'm gonna go out and get a fuckin other copy just so i don't have to watch PanScan. :P


Tuesday June 4th 2002 03:55 PM PST
ok, Fuck harry potter. I'm watching Fight Club!

"now a question of ettiquette. as I pass do i give you the ass or the crotch?" --Tyler Durden

I really love this movie. :)


Tuesday June 4th 2002 04:52 PM PST
Ok, so Brian doesn't bring a picture of me in a chicken suit back to the web i must at least show a bad picture of me.

and i might as well put a great one of missy


Wednesday June 5th 2002 07:06 PM PST
The NETS are a JOKE. It's not even half time of game one and the Lakers are already up by over 20 points. This is sick. :)


Wednesday June 5th 2002 10:22 PM PST
Jason gave me the link to this test. His result is not exactly what i would think, but my result seems fairly accurate.

take free enneagram test


Thursday June 6th 2002 09:49 PM PST
I feel like such a lazy ass. I did NOTHING today. I actually caught myself staring at my office floor. When i did i had to think, how long have i been sitting here just looking at all the junk on the floor. I don't know, but i've been working for home only for a few weeks now and I already am acting very strange. Well at least i haven't started talking to myself. anyway, i'm just babbeling. Ok, the one thing that i did do today was look into some PHP code that lets you do directory listings on a server. I've known how to do this using director forever, but i never knew how to do it in PHP. SO... long story short. I'm trying to build a module in PHP that will scan directories and open 100's (or even thousands) of jpg's then "average" the color of the entire image. I then plan to store all the average color values into an array and be able to do basic matching. Then i can take a single image and make a mosaic of it using all the other images as "pieces". I've done this before using all kinds of programs, actually using Debabalizer to construct the final image, but i want to see if i can do it all in a set of PHP programs using GD. The sad thing is.... even if i get this done, i'll still have really done NOTHING. :)


Thursday June 6th 2002 11:28 PM PST
u may want to ignore most of the things that i said in the last entry. I've gotten most of the way through 3 bottles of wine. Quit smoking and become and alcoholic. I guess that's the route i'm taking. and it's only been a week and a half.


Saturday June 8th 2002 01:41 AM PST
ok, for those of you who don't know. I am a geek. Its now about 1:30 in the morning and I've finished playing Final Fantasy X and watching Star Trek Voyager (I'm not just saying this to be cute, it's the truth) Now, i've got a problem. the best way for me to figure this shit out is to just start writing and hopefully i'll trigger the answer. OK... THE PROBLEM. you have 10,000+ images. and you want to build a mosaic out of them and recreate a single image. So, you take point samples of the color on the images and do a whole bunch of math. Its accurate enough now, but i want a little more. Let's say each image has 16 "sectors", and in each sector you average the RGB value. So now for each of the 10,000+ images you have good idea of the color, and more importantly the color distribution. Now, i lied earlier, here's the actual problem. How do you take a single 4x4 matrix and find the closest matching matrix out of thousands? Ok, like i said, i'm a geek. Ok, so solution #1. Take the source matrix (the one you're trying to match) and look at the first sample RGB value. This would be the average color in the top left of the image. I can easily do a quick search through an array and spit out the ONE IMAGE that has the closest matching color to the source. So what i should do is actually list the top 20 closest match for each of the 16 samples. Then out of all the close matches do a cross reference and then find any image that may pop up more than the others. Problem with option #1 is that it's DAMN SLOW. Too many operations and too many fuckin recursive loops. So now, I don't have an option #2 yet. i know i've got to use a series of averages to find the close match. I have to take all the sample points into consideration and then find a way to match all the points at the same time. hmmmm...


Saturday June 8th 2002 01:45 AM PST
I just thought of something. What i'm tring to do is not unlike OCR at all. Optical Character Recognition really just looks at patterns of a digital image and then tries to make matches. I'm just trying to recreate a color image instead of a page of text. I'm gonna go do some research on OCR and see what i dig up.


Monday June 10th 2002 11:09 AM PST
k wendy

i have been up since 7:30 and i still have not been able to get this shit to work!!!

on convertback X

put x / 65536 into A
put A * 65536 into AA
put x - AA into X
put( x / 256 ) into B
put B * 256 into BB
put x - BB into X
put x / 1 into C
return [a,b,c]

end

So there!! Now if you understand any of that, please tell me, cause I'm fuckin hitting my head against a brick wall trying to figure out why it isn't working. :)


Monday June 10th 2002 11:10 AM PST
BTW, jen and i finally got a patio table, so.... that means a BBQ some time.... well, i guess i gotta get a BBQ now :(


Monday June 10th 2002 01:27 PM PST
So i had to follow Brian, Wendy and Jason and make my own south park character.


Monday June 10th 2002 04:08 PM PST
It has come to my attention that people who used to live with me knew that i drank Dr. Pepper by the gallon. i constantly left empties all over my desk, until in most cases, there was no desk space at all, only empty dr. pepper cans. I'd like to tell everyone that i've changed my ways.

I drink Mountain Dew now. :)


Tuesday June 11th 2002 10:46 PM PST
Ok, so there's this ad on TV for Martha Stewart. one of the first things one of the people in the ad says is, "my cornflower blue towels are perfect". Does anyone else think this is just a little ironic?

Wednesday June 12th 2002 05:19 PM PST
ok, i'm going up to CityWalk to watch the Lakers win the championship. And i know what you're saying. "Riggs, don't say that, you're gonna jinx it". Well fuck that! You think the NJ nets have what it takes to stop a 3 - 0 run. No fuckin way. Well even if they don't win it tonight (yea right) it will still be fun to be around a shitload of lakers fans.


Wednesday June 12th 2002 09:43 PM PST
Lakers Won. CityWalk was packed to capacity and everybody was going nutts. Well, that's the end of basketball season.


Thursday June 13th 2002 11:37 AM PST
So after the game last night i played Final Fantasy X til about 4:30 in the morning. So needless to say i slept in. So at about 11:00 a client calls me and the machince picks it up. He was very nice and left a short message. This is the exact opposite from what my mother does. She leaves a fuckin 5 minute message telling me everything that she's gonna tell me AGAIN when i finally get around to calling her back. And the problem with this is that she calls on a Saturday morning and the ansering machine is RIGHT NEXT TO MY HEAD next to my bed. So.... i've gotten away from the point. This client leaves a really short message, and right before he's about to hang up i can hear his receptionist say to him that he's got another call on line 2. So as he's haning up he hits line 2 and puts me on hold. His hold music was turned up so loud it sounded like 110 decible concert begin played through the 2 inch speaker of my answering machine. I shot out of bed screaming, "fuckin christ!", but then lost the energy and flopped (like vlade) right back into bed. now without the energy to reach the 3 feet to the volume of the machine, i listened to distorted elevator music for another 45 seconds before my machine finally decided to hang up.


Thursday June 13th 2002 04:58 PM PST
Ok, i have to start this one by saying that I hate stupid people. That way you won't think that i'm COMPLETELY against religious people. So.... i was driving today and stopped at a light behind a beat up old 80's Datsun. On the back window of this car at one point somebody had put a PORN STAR sticker. This is a piece of shit car! Now for the good part. Now it seems that owner of the car either had second thoughts about the sticker, or the owner is actually a NEW owner that didn't take the time to remove the sticker. Instead they took a yellow paint pen and to the left of the sticker wrote "RE". Then with another dark pen they made the "P" of "PORN" look like a "B". So now what the sticker reads is "RE BORN STAR". And lets just say this person is not the most artistic fellow in the world. below that, it seems that this person's handwriting grew worse as the job went on, where they chicken scratched "ACTS 2:38 JESUS IS LORD! SAVE YOURSELF!". Anyway, i could not stop laughing at the stoplight. I was crying. Who the fuck is stupid enough to take a PORN STAR sticker and actually ATTEMPT to make it into some kind of religious statement!

And did you ever wonder why religious people are the worst web designers JESUS


Saturday June 15th 2002 01:24 AM PST
88th minute: GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

GERMANY WINS!!!!


Saturday June 15th 2002 11:29 PM PST
jason keeps on me for not using a package blog engine. I am what you call a Lone Bloger. LOL. Anyway, world cup is on in a few hours. I gotta watch USA vs Mexico. Even though i really hate the way that the US got into the final 16 (losing to Poland, and then still making the cut) i have to at least root for them. Well... until they may win over Mexico and then get their asses kicked by Germany. I'm with Brian Fungus, Germany all the way!


Saturday June 15th 2002 11:30 PM PST
Oh, one more thing about Jason, he did point out that my site looks like ass in IE6. Thanks Jason. It should be fixed in a few minutes.


Saturday June 15th 2002 11:59 PM PST
WTF, KOGA!!!!! I though it was Koga's job to keep me informed of television shows and celebrity apperances!!! Now i see a commercial for a new SciFi show on FOX created by Joss Whedon!!! I start to dig and realize that they started shooting this back in march!!! Ok, the closet buffy fan must now say THANK GOD JOSS IS DOING MORE BEYOND BUFFY AND ANGEL!!!


Sunday June 16th 2002 02:38 AM PST
"New Sarah Michelle Gellar Movie Apparently Sucks" That's the headline that i stumbled across on a site. WELL DUH!!! What the fuck did you expect out of Scooby Doo? I believe Will should add this film to his list

And on the note of bad movies. I know Will is going to rip this one a new asshold. Windtalkers


Sunday June 16th 2002 11:31 PM PST
I have a number of friends who did not grow up in the socal area. and from what they say i have to start to believe that the news in LA has to be the worst in the world. I just don't know what the world is coming to when the news uses a drive by shooting at a bumper for a commercial. "And when we come back we'll tell you how many people were blown the fuck away in the city of compton". Its a fuckin JOKE. And the worst part is... my wife ends up watching the Fox morning news, because it's so funny!. well, fuck it, game is on... ttyl


Sunday June 16th 2002 11:38 PM PST
GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!

USA!!


Monday June 17th 2002 12:22 AM PST
Eastados Unidos Uno , Mexico Cero. Half time. Ok, now this is just a fuckin FACT. NBC and the NBA is just fucked. you watch a NBA game and the fuckin commentators are just talking about nothing. and then a major play happens, and the commentators start talking about the foul or the major part of the play. now while you're watchiing all this, the fuckin director takes THAT time to show a highlight clip from 3 minutes ago. WTF, we're gonna see the fuckin hilights on the 11 news. The mexican stations have their shit down. I'm not watching world cup on ESPN, cause i don't have cable, AND cause i know the fuckin commentators would just be a fuckin lot of morons anyway. The station that i'm watching now is the SHIT. A play happends and a foul or a yellow or red card is pulled and (NO BULLSHIT) 3 seconds after they are already running slow motion of the EXACT PLAY that just happened. AND from multiple angles. HOLY SHIT, imagine that!!!! YOU ACTUALLY SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE!!!!


Monday June 17th 2002 12:53 AM PST
GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!

USA!!!

2 to nothing


Monday June 17th 2002 01:24 AM PST
That was a great game, and i'm not just saying that cause the US won. I don't think i remember that many cards being handed out over a game. It was all the things you wish other sports would be. FULL FUCKIN CONTACT!!!!! Well, i hate to say this , but Germany is gonna kick the shit out the of the US in the next game. That's just my prediction. I hope it will be Brazil and Germany in the finals. That will be a game worth watching.


Monday June 17th 2002 02:04 AM PST
Steve has an addiction that most of us didn't know about. We bought him a PS2 and suddenly he has become a fuckin game FREEEK. And it's not just consol games. I also found out that he is a StarCraft newbie. Well.... i have one thing to say to him. WARCRAFT III


Monday June 17th 2002 03:14 PM PST
Brian and Wendy have this little thing on their site that is a closeup shot of a little item. You try to guess what the fuck it is. Wendy put one on her blog the other day and it prompted me to start with my own, but this time, its all about little pieces of junk that are sitting around in my office. So let the guessing begin. Don't worry, there are no prizes, so you can't lose anything anyway.

FIRST ITEM: Small Plastic Thing


Tuesday June 18th 2002 04:48 PM PST
Ok, yesterday's test was too easy, as Brian illustrated. For christ's sake, Zimbler even knew what it was! SO... here it is.

Two little pieces out of a very small piece of machinery. Both are used by most of you viewing this page.


Tuesday June 18th 2002 06:56 PM PST
i guess the last object was just too much of a joke. Well, i'll put something else up when i find something worth putting up.


Tuesday June 18th 2002 06:59 PM PST
Yesterday i went to lunch at DVCC again to hang out with Will. After we finished lunch we had a dumpload of time, so we started driving around the Universal Backlot. It's one thing to ride the huge fuckin tram around, and a complete other to drive a little honda civic around. We got all the way back to the town square from back to the future. It's just so damn funny that once you're on the lot you can really go ANYWHERE! Don't get me wrong, getting on the lot is a fuckin pain in the ass even when you do have a drive on.


Wednesday June 19th 2002 02:35 AM PST
well there is nothing much like a midnight viewing of Repo Man. The only problem is that i hooked up the PS2 in my office, so now i don't even have to really walk in the other room to watch movies. So... i'm gonna get even less done. Well, watchin Repo Man was not without it's reasons. but then again who needs reasons to watch Repo Man? anyway... i was starting to make a set of sound bytes for an Emilio Estevez Prank call. i figure that was the best place to start.


Friday June 21st 2002 01:33 AM PST
Engloand lost :( I was really hoping that they could make it past Brazil, but what did you expect. Anyway, i think i'm gonna get a few hours of sleep before the next game.


Friday June 21st 2002 05:27 AM PST
well, just like jason said, "we don't suck nearly as much as I thought we would." I slept through my alarm a few minutes and didn't get into the game until about the 15th minute. I was actually suprised how we've been playing so far. I just think that the USA needs to just avoid all the damn fouls at close range of the goal. There have been far too many free kicks at goal.


Friday June 21st 2002 06:30 AM PST
germany has a little technique of putting two guys on the posts during a free kick. It really works, especially when one of them gets to block the shot with his arm. don't worry i'm not bitter. the US played a good game and maybe this will do a little for soccer in the US. Actually, no, were talking about the US. In four years everybody will have fuckin forgot again and not care anymore (again).


Friday June 21st 2002 06:48 AM PST
If you hate Real World, Survivor, Big Brother and all those stupid fuckin shows, there is still a good chance that you've missed the WORST reality show. Fashion TV made it's own spin off of the Real World, and called it "Model Flat". Here's the thing about this show. It's all girls. So you know all the bitches that you hate from all the other reality TV. THE WHOLE FUCKIN THING IS BACKSTABBING BITCHES! AND... on top of it all they are all fuckin under 75 pounds and each of them is gonna be the next fuckin Kate Moss (who BTW is way too fuckin skinny too). All i have to say is, "YIKES!"


Friday June 21st 2002 06:00 PM PST
So i got drunk the other night and called all of my friends. I'd like to say i'm sorry for everything that i forgot i said, and i'd like to say sorry to all the people i've told something twice cause i didn't remember telling them the first time. In the early stages of disorderly conduct i assembled a very complex piece of machinery. Here is the technical data on the apparatus.


Monday June 24th 2002 09:57 PM PST
ok, good weekend. monday sucks, but you already knew that.

FRIDAY- Sat around on my ass and finally forced my wife to go to a midnight showing of Minority Report on the IMAX screen at shittywalk in Universal City. Decent movie as far as summer movies go, shitty movie as far as GOOD speilberg stuff goes. As already mentioned on Yams Blog, the new title for the movie shout be "A few days in the life of Tom Cruise in the year 2054". anyway, you have to go see it just because it's gotta be better than SWIMFAN! Holy SHIT! did anybody else wonder what the fuck people were thinking when they started production on this piece of shit. enough of that

SATURDAY and SUNDAY Nothing. I just needed to relax with the wife for a few days and finally had the chance. So that brings me back to today.

MONDAY- star trek trailer. Ok, now this is really funny. I watch this thing once and i realize that there is one thing missing. The catchy Techno music that you see in every other SciFi Action movie trailer. Matrix had a couple great songs. Lost in Space as BAD as it was even had a good track by Crystal Method. (though it has now been clubbed to death). And MIB as good as it was had the really BAD track by Will Smith. So, Star Trek... they want the franchise to become all about ACTION. So where's the techno? I did a little experiment and remixed the trailer a bit and dropped a little propellerheads into it. It actually does fit well, i just need to get a split track version so i can dorp the original music out and keep the FX track. The funny thing was when i was really screwin around and i dropped in "Wildchild - Renegade Master (the fatboy slim old school mix)". There was nothing better than seeing Picard and the enterprise flying around with Rap and scratching behind it.


Monday June 24th 2002 10:10 PM PST
a few random pictures


Tuesday June 25th 2002 06:41 PM PST
so, i've been playing final fantasy x for a long time now. I thought i was near the end of the game. Well thats the problem with the new playstation 2. There is only one disc and you don't know how far you've gotten. The other versions of final fantasy came on 4 discs and you could kinda tell where you were. So long story short... i got to this part in the game that i thought was the "final battle" and suddenly NOPE, you now have an AIRSHIP and you can go anywhere in the world. This game started off as a VERY linear RPG and suddenly it's turned into a fuckin huge world that you can go back into and explore. on top of it all there is a search feature in the navigation system on the airship (fuck, i am a geek) and with it you can enter X,Y coordinates and search the globe for secret locations. Well fuck dumb luck on this one. I looked online and found a couple of codes to secret chambers with REALLY REALLY fuckin kick ass monsters. So, what now? A game that i though was close to over is now actually getting really cool.


Thursday June 27th 2002 01:10 PM PST
Every day feels like Saturday now. Jen is home for summer, one of the perks of being a 1st grade teacher. So, as a result we have been sleeping in way too much EVERY day and just doing nothing. I kinda forget that it's a Thursday.


Thursday June 27th 2002 01:12 PM PST
Went on our weekly trip to Mijaries last night with Will. I drank way too much and talked way too much, but then again that's the new norm.


Thursday June 27th 2002 06:36 PM PST
HOLY SHIT I GOT PAID!!! and not by the people who i though were gonna pay me! But that's besides the point. I went shopping today for a game that i knew has been out for a little while. So now onto the review of wipeout fusion. So far i have only played it for a short time, but i can already say it kicks the shit out of Wip3pout (the third one if you don't read L33t). As far as the wipeout games go, i always was the fan of "XL". When i first got it i had no idea what the fuck RedBull was, and HOLY SHIT has that changed my life. Ok, back to what i was saying about FUSION. The control is much much more smooth. you actuall feel like you have control of the AG system ship. (AG - Anti Gravity). The weapons are basically the same with the new advance of multiple shots on the photon cannon (with an ammo readout), and FINALLY, they just moved the trigger for the weapons so you don't need to take your finger off the throttle. The power of the PS2 makes the maps look so much better. The problem with 3 was that the colors were too bright and there was not enough depth for you to really be able to see the track clearly ahead of you. In Fusion there is a layer of haze that adds so much to the perception of the world around you. It already seems that even with the beginning ships i am going a LOT faster and i can still keep track of the turns in front of me and stay on course. ok, and now for the dissapointments. Designers Republic and Psygnosis have nothing to do with the development of the game so. there's just a little missing from the design of the menus and ships. I still love the Team AG systems from XL and i don't think i am ever gonna get used to the newer looking ships that actually end up looking more KLUNKY. I do have to admit the intro movie is a leap forward from XL. As far as i can say so far this game is a must have for any hardcore gamer. and even if you don't like the game, just listen to the soundtrack!


Thursday June 27th 2002 06:53 PM PST
In 1954, Congress after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus, added the words, 'under God,' to the Pledge. The Pledge was now both a patriotic oath and a public prayer.

A Short history of the Pledge

if you thought that "UNDER GOD" was always in the pledge, OPEN YOUR FUCKIN EYES.

'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and (to*) the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'
-- that says it all.


Thursday June 27th 2002 07:05 PM PST
Just in case you wanted to know, here's the Knights of Columbus site. Just a question; did anyone here every hear of the separation between Church and State?


Thursday June 27th 2002 07:32 PM PST
Ok, i think i got the ping code into the shit here. this is just a test


Friday June 28th 2002 12:17 AM PST
ok, i guess i spoke too soon. Wipeout Fusion is much more than i previously wrote. I really have played a lot in the last few hours and now i realize it's more like Grand Turismo and SSX than any other Wipeout. As you complete races, you make more money. With the money you can modify your ship and gain access to new weapons. The cool thing is you can unlock new drivers much like the SSX characters. So i say again this is a must have.


Friday June 28th 2002 03:24 PM PST
Ok, one more thing about wipeout. I know this is getting a little wierd, but i am a freak. I was looking at the high scores interface for the game. I noticed a set of characters above the high score for each level. I was puzzled for about 2 seconds, then i realized that the record time, high score and name generate a CHECKSUM. I just wanna know what you use them with for verification.


Friday June 28th 2002 09:28 PM PST
Summer Movie Suck! We all have seen our share of SHIT movies. Now i don't know what exactly is going to happen with the movie of the summer. I can't predict what movie is gonna come out on top and what is going to be the JOKE of the summer, but I have this really bad feeling about Reign of Fire. This movie has a smell to it that just reminds me of the hype before Battlefield Earth. I have not heard ANYTHING about it, i don't know. I just am getting this feeling, like the hair on the back of my neck is all standing at attention. So, i ask the question... Will this movie beat Battlefield Earth for WORST summer movie EVER?


Saturday June 29th 2002 03:00 AM PST
I know i am drunk, but i also know something is fuckin funny.

LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) --- Britney Spears is ready to put her film career in the fast lane. The rumored Spears-NASCAR ( news - web sites) project has officially been given a green light.The superstar singer and her newly named production company, Britney Spears Prods., have closed a category-exclusive agreement with NASCAR to develop and produce a dramatic ensemble film set in the world of NASCAR. "Contact" scribe Jim Hart is currently writing the untitled screenplay that would see Spears star in the fictional story as the daughter of a successful, modern-day NASCAR team owner who uses her knowledge and experience in the family business to inspire a former NASCAR driver to return to the sport. Contrary to early reports, Spears will not play a NASCAR driver. The unique part about this deal, however, is that Spears may be sharing some screen time with the real thing. NASCAR, which is very protective of its brand and the values it has come to represent, signed the deal with BSP after the corporation and BSP principals -- Spears, her manager Larry Rudolph and "Crossroads" producer Ann Carli -- came to an agreement that the story line of the film would stay true to the sport and show its participants in the most authentic light.
