September 2006

So I know I haven’t really been around much on here or on the internet in general, but I have been busy with going to see the girlfriend and with my best friend’s wedding and with working, so I hope you all can understand. As I am writing this I am getting ready to leave for Ohio for the final rounds of his wedding. When I return I will probably put some unfinished sections onl,ine just so I can add more content and have the need to finish them quickly. I will also be taking my camera with lots of batteries so I can get some nice shots during my trip. I will be back on Sunday, seeing as how I have work on Monday so I hope you all have a great weekend and I will be back with lots to show (hopefully).

So I just got back from my best friend’s wedding. I was there this past weekend and I am going to Ohio for the reception for the bride’s parents this coming weekend. I gave a speech this weekend, and I will be giving another one next weekend. I think I am going to change it up, though. I hate public speaking, so when I stood up I was really nervous. Everyone thought the speech was great, though so maybe I’ll put it online.

Life’s been pretty boring otherwise, I’ve just been working. Last week I went to visit the girlfriend, that was pretty nice.

About a month ago I put up a blog where I wrote PayPerPost, and some people told me that it was a scam, that nobody would pay you for blogging, but guess what? I got paid. When I woke up this morning I had money in my PayPal account. Even I was skeptical at first, but now that they’ve paid up, I can start posting more from this site. Maybe now I can make enough money each month that I can actually move out of Delaware and up to New York.

So as you may or may not have heard Steve Irwen, the crocodile hunter, died today. He didn’t die from a crocodile, however, instead he died from a stingray attack. For those of you who don’t know, stingrays are very peaceful animals and will only attack when feeling threatened. In fact there have only been three stingray attacks reported in the Australian waters. I normally don’t find tragedy funny, but who would have seen this coming? I honestly thought when he died it would have been like in Dr. Dolittle 2 where he is attacked by a crocodile, not a peaceful stingray.

Okay so I got some emails reguarding why I was ditching PHPBB, but the fact is I am not ditching anything, only adding to the limited functionality of the PHPBB system as a blog. WordPress offers much more and when integrated, it is very powerful. I have already used a plugin for the WordPress system to create a Wishlist page on the Me section, and much more will be coming soon. I also have an archive section coming soon.

This is a test of the wordpress-PHPBB integration. You will not be allowed to comment until I reopen the forum add some stronger spam controls and delete all the spam comments.
