srsly.

Spammers! Yay!!

This is one of the things that helped kill GZE. Spammers. Why? Because I had absolutley no idea how to combat them. I mean, I could probably figure out where the spam is coming from, then block all registrations on all the software on the website, and then hope that nobody legitimate gets blocked in the process. What saddened me further is how real people would actually sit in front of a computer, entering text for capchas. Needs to get a life much?

If only I knew some more…. professional… webmasters. Like.. some.. at…. Ozzu…….

And I could actually call myself a webmaster. Pfft. I can install software. WordPress for example. Easy as pie. And make pages and center text, color it (after a google or two), make it bigger (after a google or two), and add links. Everything else, is about as hard as doing algebra to me. I mean, I can do it, yeah. But do I know how to, or have ever had the will to learn how to? Not really. I guess that I get points for having dreams about what could be done with websites I webmaster. I did that in GZE, but when dreams collided with reality.. Well, there’s a certaint point, near the center of the hallway between dream and reality where you realize that this is a lot more complicated than you thought. And that hit me like a brick, and I realized that overhauling GZE wasn’t gonna be as simple as installing Joomla!, writing up some pages, and attempting to make my own shitty graphics.

But I guess that Benie’s Builds is different because I won’t let myself give up so easily. There’s a feeling within me that if I just give up on trying to make BB succeed, that I’ll let Ben down. And Ben, when you read this, don’t try to convince me otherwise. And now that I know that giving up hurts alot more than failure.. I don’t think I’ll give up too easily.

brb, putting ceiling in garbage bag

update: Oh look, here comes a spammer to do a “Hahaha!!” at me. Well seems Modelkot seems to have gone foof. So a counter ha?

so I was just sitting in my room at my Gma’s house, bored out of my mind.. when I looked at my nightstand and noticed a marker and cough drop. Ate the cough drop, and stared at a lamp shade….. and as I did, I started thinking of pies and sawce. Then it just kinda popped in my head, ran around a bit, then the memory of the marker smacked me, and I wrote on the wrapper of the cough drop: “there is pie sauce in the eye of the lamp shade”

then I threw it out the window, thinking one of the dogs would eat it, then start thinking of pies, lampshades, and sawce.

Wrote this on Friday.

I really dislike school. I really… reallllllyy….. dislike it. I really dislike my special needs teacher. I’m sitting in science, wishing I could wring her neck. A few months back, I changed the password for the administrator account to keep their noob asses off of it.. And made a limited account for the fucking idiots called my peers, and a second limited account for the teacher who calls me Estebven. I forgot the password I used, and didn’t really care. Then she tells me a few days ago she needs the admin account because she has some files on there for another student’s IEP. So today I really get into resetting the admin’s password using a limited account.. Bell rings.. Fuck I’m close to finding a proxy. “Estebven. You go science.” I ignore her, trying to keep focused on what I was doing. I find someone asking about a workaround for the fucking software the idiotic school district uses to block websites based on their meta tags… I hear a radio, turn around. The fucking bitch has called a motherfucking site supervisor to get me out. I want to fucking kick the computer off of the desk, and get up, grab my stuff, and stomp out of the room. What am I gonna do now? Well, I’m gonna go upstairs, turn off the computer, and leave it off ’till Monday. And Monday, I’ll come in with my Fedora CD, and reformat the fucking hard drive to make it obvious that when I’m ‘hacking’ you don’t fucking disturb me…

Now that I got that out, I guess some words about yesterday would be nice.

Yesterday, I went on a field trip. Which was nice, since I hadn’t been on one in two years. (Stayed at the Marine Headlands for three days in sixth grade.) So yesterday, we went to UC Berkley. There we saw the Alvin Ailey Dance Company perform. And we also got to ride BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit.) Neither the show nor the BART ride lasted long enough. :P And while we were there, we went up in the world’s 3rd largest clock tower. The Campanile. I also snagged some shots of course.

Looking up at the tower.

In the tower, almost at the top, looking west towards the Golden Gate.

Looking at the bells inside the tower. They were installed a few years after the tower was erected, as a gift from the class of 1920.

Looking southeast at the university’s football stadium.

And finally, looking down at the little garden on the north side of the tower.

And today’s writing.

One thing I didn’t think about writing on Friday was that I was starting work on another Rebel Island story. Yes, Rebel Island isin’t comepletely dead yet. It isin’t much yet, just the introduction. And the introduction isalways the hardest part. Srsly.. ó_ó

Oh by the way, listen to some epicness:

I must get this DVD someday… :3

Things have been going well in Wurm. I travelled to Wild on.. Last Sunday was it? Yes. Last Sunday with Anayy. And I got Ctrlaltdelete made into a priest. (!) And I’ve been running around on him, blessing random things. “Oh look, a pig. Bless. Hmm, what’s that shiny thing ov- OH, a tree! Bless! Ooh, what’s over here.. OH HI THERE SCORPION. BLESS!!!!” Etc. :P

Also, Anayy has finally started the farm-walling project I’ve been putting off since the Farm was done.. in.. October…… Yes, I am lazy. :(

I never mentioned getting my digger title huh? Yes, I got it while working on the Lighthouse. Oh, we made a lighthouse also.

AAAAAAaaaaannnnnnndddd I think that’s all I’ve got to write. Why does it seem I can write better when I’m bored, at school… :|

Mmk, off to bed with me!

Well yesterday was a bad day. Why? Well, ever had your house broken into? Or ever experienced someone trying to break in? If not, it’s.. very scary, to say the least.

I was sitting at my computer, making cheese before I headed to bed in Wurm. Some guy knocks on the door, and rings the doorbell, and keeps doing it.. after four or so times of him ringing the doorbell, I got up, and creeped over to the peephole, and some guy I’d never seen before.. was shuffling through our mail. Wtfwhy. Oh well, watch him go down to the garage and knock, and I figure he was just some guy who wanted to talk to us about something. Well, I wish I would’ve said something through the door…

So I went back to my computer, and started getting off Wurm.. Checked what the first book in The Cat Who… series, and turned my monitors off. Got up, headed over to the couch, and right as I stopped, and put my hands on the scratching post, looking into my mom’s room…. Glass shattering. And my mom got up, ran out screaming “OH MY GOD!!” and when we were both looking in there, he threw the pine cone. I ran over to our alarm pad, and pressed the GET THE POLICE HERE NOW!!!!! button, AKA the bunker siren activator.. My mom runs into her room, grabs her cell phone and lounge pants, puts them on, then calls 911. Few minutes later, I’m talking with the operator trying to describe the man. Few hours later, I’m sitting on the couch, as the guy fixing the broken window is removing all the broken glass, reading Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe.. Few more hours later, I fall asleep. Then I wake up, and help my mom go to bed. (She’s still a bit shaken, I’m mostly fine now, since I got a good night’s sleep.) and head over to my computer, cat in lap, typing this.

My thoughts of humanity degrade further.

Pulled off the AlphaSmart from Tuesday.

Well this is a first, I think. I’m sitting in PE, having pencils, pens, dimes…. and skittle boxes thrown at me. And the epic lulz doesn’t stop there. Some dude is coming down and shouting “OH SHIT it’s a <item>!” and picks it up. And now they’re jumping over me…. wow. And jumping on the seats of this insanely old roll out stands… whatever they’re called. I love when people (try to) fuck with me, it just makes me laugh.

This is kind of a collection of like three posts in one. Kinda long.

So I was sitting down at New Broleans. Bored, wondering what to do. Then GZE pops into my head, and I open my blog..

Ah, GZE. It started out as an attempt at revenge. On Inferno. For just randomly taking my status as a webmaster for GZU, and telling me it was because I had bad spelling. At the time, he was working on renaming GZU to GZE. And of course I had wanted to try to run a clan, and my own website. I had started on this before with www.someclanforums.com.. unfortunatley charging $300 to my grandpa’s credit card didn’t turn out well. Anyway, so I went looking for a website hosting service.. thing… whatever they’re called. And I found GoDaddy. And I had the money at the time…. and then (my) GZE was born. I still remember the excitement as I shut down my computer, getting ready to go to bed.. knowing I’d have my own website the next day. And the next day came. And of course, there was my website. I immediatley got to work on an index. Had a few problems in the beginning, but they were all my fault. And within a week, I had a copy of IntegraMOD running. Of course, it was a real clan…. but its members didn’t really care. I tried and tried to make it active. I had a teamspeak server, GMod server, SHOUTcast server, even the idea of an IRC server popped into my head a few times. But back then I was a newb at IRC. I had just barely conquered Chanserv on GameSurge. But I tried. Anyway, I put so much love and care into it.. and nobody cared. And that’s what led to its death. When I met Benie, and he refused to just sign up on the forums.. I think that’s when I began considering killing it. What made me finally kill it was when I tried getting some awesome into the index. I installed a copy of Joomla!, but it failed horribly. I tried another CMS, but I don’t remember what it was ATM. When that failed, and I saw that nobody even acknowledged the fact that I was trying to improve it.. I edited the index giving a goodbye message, and set the password in the Integramod config to a bogus one. I remember.. quite well.. I was standing up at Sanctum. Talking with nieb15. He wanted me to enable the forums, to have a quick look around. I allowed him to do so, and just stared into the field of grape bushes that Sanctum had. And the feeling of that excitement I got when I first registered it came back. But it didn’t work. I eventually deleted the hosting for GZE, and it became just a domain in my possession. It’s still in my possession. But only until March. March third, I believe. Sad it must die on its second birthday. Reminds me of GATM.

Heh.. In thinking about all this.. Not once did the GZESN or GZUSN pop into my head. What was the GZESN or GZUSN, you may ask? Well. If you’ve read my Steam community profile, at the bottom you’ll see “Also, I’m obsessed with servers.” Well, I’m also obsessed with mass numbers of servers.  Server networks, to be exact. Well, anyway. When I was in GZU, Inferno ran some game servers. This idea popped into my head one day to make a little server network for them. Then the method of naming them came.. and I made a little web page for it on my subdomain. I can still remember how funny the naming system seemed to me when I first thought of it.. GZUSN|TheGameItsRunning|Server#forThisGame was what I had thought up. And so I launched a listen server with GZUSN|GMod|#1 as the hostname on GMod, and then it didn’t seem funny. It seemed pretty.. professional! :D And then Inferno kicked me out. And GZE came along. And then you know what? Well I decided to carry the idea over. GZESN. Sounds catchy to me for some reason. Anyway, then I made a blog to go with it. And that’s how this blog got started. I made a little blog to update my (uncaring) clan members of what was happening with the GZESN. Then I realized “Lol, nobody wants to run a server for me, and let me put my and my clan’s name all over it for nothing more than a ‘Thanks!’ Lol. Bye GZESN.” and around the same time, I heard an interesting song on youtube. DJ Kosmonova was the artist, I remember that much. Anyway, I made a post with a link to that video.. and a statement that the GZESN was dead, and it wasn’t gonna come back unless people (What people?!!) whined at me because of it. (Yeah.. the only way that would happen is if I whined at myself. :| ) Anyway, so yeah. I had a blog. AAaaannd I think I’m done thinking about GZE.

And now for the other stuffs for this post. Oh, also. Yay, first post of 2009. Seems like I made the first of ’08 not that long ago. Oh well, anyway. Wurm.

Things are going good as usual at the Bay. I saw Letac earlier today. Well, yesterday. Ben has moved into what used to be Anaysoan Point. And it’s a Wurmian life as usual I guess. Anyway. I got Ctrlaltdelete converted to Vynora. I’m headed back to the Bay as I’m typing this, planning to get him a Vynora altar. Hopefully raising his faith won’t take too long. Anyway, once he gets to 30, I’ll buy ‘em some prem time, and take him to the Wild server with Ben (Who was there last week.) and I’ll be able to enchant tools for teh monies. :D

Benie’s Builds. What’s up with it, you may be wondering? Well, thinking about GZE the other day.. well, that made me start wondering what would happen if we turned it into a build group. (Benie’s Builders) I talked it over with Ben, and he said to go for it. So, I’m working on getting IntegraMOD setup, as well as finding a good CMS for the front page. I’ll probably use php-Nuke.

And.. ehh, I think that’s it for this post. And I thought I’d make it long. lol. Well, first post of the year, anyway. Bai bai.
