(FYI, this message is set to not auto format, I type the break tags myself, just testing another feature)
I went to see a movie tonight with Caitlin, and while in the movie I get a phone call from my brother. He's like "are you at work?" and I'm like "noooo" and he's like "the mercedes got hit in the parking lot" and I'm like "huh?" and he's like "go outside where ever you are and deal with the cops"
Sure enough, outside there were cops and this van just turned way too early pulling out and hit the side of the car. Pretty nasty damage, considering the car is a 1977 Mercedes SL 450 ... But yeah, then the boss of the driver of this van calls (cuase he owns the van) and tries to make a proposal and I'm like "uhh, my dad owns the car not me"
So yeah, weird story. The freakiest thing was how I couldn't figure out how they managed to call my house and my brother call me if they didn't know my number, but they said they'd ran the plates, so it made sense afterwards.

May 2002 Archives
OK, this is the first update into TheSpork.com FROM TheSpork.NET. From now on all SporkOPS are required to login from TheSpork.NET and do any news posting from there. The old login page will not work. This is very exciting. An interesting thing to point out, ops now have to specify whether they want to post with HTML and may turn off my auto format features (replacing all return characters by "<br>" and all spaces by a space followed by the " ". It's cool stuff. Like for instance, right now I'm turning off HTML so I can write it freely above and it won't actually show up as HTML. Of course that limits me to no color or formatting, but hey that's cool.
Anyway, Gotta run. Ciao.

Thanks to El Chef Penguino for keeping us posted on XBox info. For your information, if you go check out the new E3 press release on XBox, it's actually rather cool and exciting. They unvailed some cool stuff like Halo online, Project Ego, Blonx or Blinx, I couldn't tell, which looked AWESOME ... MechAssault and others ... oh, AND Ninja Gaiden!!!! SOOOOO COOL. It made me really depressed knowing that I'd be spending so much money between now and this holiday season.
Anyway, thespork.NET is in a sorta non moving state, for two reasons. One, I can't figure out why it's not letting me register new users, when the script used to work, and two I can't do news posts either. My code for both pages is exactly the same, and at one point the register user code DID work, however now it won't AND it won't work for news posting. GRRR.
Yeah, so I work in Digital Imaging now at Best Buy. That's exciting. I sell Digital Cameras and Camcorders, plus if someone actually wants to buy an archaic 35mm or vhs camcorder I have a couple of those to sell. But Digital all the way baby.
Other than that, my summer will include work at best buy, work at home, and work on thespork.NET. Hopefully I can do a little work on the golf course as well ;-).

And the baby chef continues to post despite the complete lack of activity on 'the spork'...

OK, so, a few updates here.
The banner ads are for register.com, they are the ONLY banner ads I'll put up. I get no money at all for clicks, so it's no harm in doing so if you'd like to see what register.com offers. However, if you even intend on buying a domain name from register.com, please do so by clicking that link and then following through with the procedure. I get 20% commission on all .com, .net, and .org sales plus various commissions on other extensions, sometimes even better than 20%.
Is this selling out? I don't believe so, it's just a nice way to make money. I am in no way asking anyone to say, click three banner ads before entering my site of 30 pop ups. No, I have one simple, rotating ad. I like the orange one.
OK, in other news. TheSpork.net is coming along nicely. I'm very close to having a fully functioning user administration page, in which case I can then build off of that and create links such as news posting (which I want to be my next full fledged script), user polls, and more. My last project will be a shopping cart, and I really want this done within a month. CRAZY, I know, but I want an alternative source of money, becuase I have a lot of crap I need to buy. Just take a look at the story I'm about to tell you.
I get home from prom saturday afternoon. Prom was one of the most amazing nights of my life, probably the best dance function I've gone to yet. Anyway, upon return from the event the next day, I discovered we'd had a power surge of sorts in our house. Turn on my computer, and my entire D Drive is crapped out. Tells me that it needs to be formatted. I'm like WHAT IN THE DIRTY CRACK. So yeah, emailed ontrack and they gave me a quote ... 100 dollars just for the estimate, and then 600 MINIMUM if the damage isn't bad. I'm like "SCREW THAT."
So yeah, just basically lost 20 gigs of mp3's and I'm not happy about it at all. Six years of my life went into that music, it's what made me who I am today. And it's all gone. Every nine inch nails cd, from halo 1 to halo 17. 100% of all the good KMFDM albums and about 90% of their total album collection. Every Incubus, every OLP, every Eve 6, every radiohead, 6 radiohead bootlegs, Phish, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Korn, Limp Bizkit, I had ALL these bands albums. Sure, I don't like some of them now, like KoRn and Limp Bizkit, but I used to. BT, Moby, Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, SQUAREPUSHER. How does one deal with losing all that much music? While I love it all a lot, I'm not paying 700 dollars for it. Never in my life.
So, it's time I went and bought two 60 gig or so drives, ata100 of the same size, and raid them together, redundancy style. Maybe I'll get four of the same hard drive if I can find that and redundancy and stripe ... that'd be kick ass ... That'd be MAJORLY kickass actually.
So yeah, that was my story. I also wanted a new computer this summer, a fast one, alienware preferably. Also wanted to hit up the digital dv camcorder front. How am I going to afford all this? Building websites.
So yeah, gonna go do my last homework of the year.
Spork.
What's up with the banner ad? Has the site sold out?
--Fiend
That's just cause CJ's a tard ... I'm going to get a five, and I could have gotten a four at the beginning of the year. This test is not hard, contrary to popular belief. You can miss like twenty and still get a five. I missed 7, and always nail the essays. The essays are the easiest part cause there's no stupid data analysis.
On the other hand, I'm taking english tomorrow morning. That's going to suck ass. I'm definitley bombing that one, and they'll use mine for the poorly written example.
US history is going to be fun ... going to study my ass for that one tomorrow night. I'm shooting for another five on the history front this year.
For those of you who haven't seen it yet:
Spork.
well tomorrow is the big day, c++ AP test time, and guess who hasnt studied, ME! and guess who isnt gunna study because study cant help this poor sole, ME! its gunna be comedy when i get it back, they will definately use mine as the "Poorly Written Example" for teachers.
Well, I just got back from D.C. My Dad and I went up to basically throw the 5 tons of my sister's CRAP that she had in her dorm into our suburban and drive back. We basically got in around 5:15, packed her stuff until about 6:00, spent an hour touring George Washington University campus, and then went and ate dinner, came back to the hotel, watched a little Osbournes, and then went to bed and got up at 6:00 and made the trip back. The way back I read about 45% of my app us history review book, gonna try to do some more tonight, maybe finish it wednesday I'm shooting for. Not sure, gonna majorly cram. Which means no work on thespork.net for a week or so. And not much internet or anything for me either. So I'm going to go study, bye.
Spork.
OK, I did a lot of work on thespork.net today.
Basically I removed the display users and now only spork ops can see the users, so spork ops go ahead and log in and take a look. For anyone not a spork op I think you actually LOST new features from all my updating.
But SporkOPs, please try to log in so that I know if the passhash conversion worked. You're passwords are now encrypted basically.
Spork.
If each sporkop could be so kind as to test their username and password, that would be great.
Reason is that I conerted all the passwords to a one-way encrypted string, so basically I'll never be able to see your passwords again, but that way nor can any hacker.
