so, the year is almost over. what have i accomplished? well, i got fired from my job, and moved to another state which i actually enjoy more than california.
i still have yet to find another job. and right now, a job would make an excellent christmas present. i’m currently living off of the money i make off of the GPT sites you see to the right. it’s not much, but is enough to get me some food to eat. hopefully soon, i will find work.
i’m not going to worry about making new years resolutions right now. it’s pretty obvious what they are. i need to find work, and maybe actually start school. slacking on my projects is another issue i need to fix, and i’m already starting on that now.
i’ve finally gotten my motivation to write once again. kind of. you see, right now, people in orange shirts are banging on my roof. this means i would have a hard time sleeping. so i need something to do, other than read bash.org and some other fine websites. this something is, writing. i’m working on my stories – revising the crap i already wrote because of the crappy quality from back then. once that’s done, i will be doing new chapters. yay!
though i am not only using this time for writing, but i am also working on getting the new forum software set up for kitsune paradise. this mostly entails the themes. i’ve got them done for the most part. the only thing left is the buttons and some of the skins from the current incarnation of the community. once i get it all looking good, i can make it go live, and work on porting munjpets and inferno rpg over — the former being the easier to work with.
also, a note to collections agencies: fuck you. that means you, northland group. i’m not giving you shit. you people left me alone for over a year, then you start to haunt me with your collections notices. no! go away! i don’t even have the credit card any more, and it was dead as of 2007! get over it! i’m also not giving you guys shit for my allegedly unpaid verizon shit either, because i never received a bill from them for that account for months! fuck off!
first, happy belated new year. second, remember the list of resolutions i made last month? i’m doing a good job so far on them. right now i am working on the kitsumuck website, and progress is going smoothly. i’ve found a nice new web-based MUD client that kicks the ass of the crappy Java client that’s been in use for over two years. it’s got lots of neat features, and is in active development. so, i am going to stick to that one from now on. all i have left to finish is the profiles section, and that should be cake once i get the information imported from the MUCK’s database into the SQL database to make things a lot less hackish. i’m just going to need to make a backend in PHP so the MUCK can update the SQL database through that instead of its SQL functions because apparently, those tend to lock up the MUCK. (wow, that sounded confusing when i read over it)
on other news, i’ve scored myself a 5 day weekend by requesting 3 days paid vacation over the weekend. this would be the third day. monday and tuesday are my normal days off. the main reason i did this was to take a break from .. well, dealing with assholes. i needed to do this so i can relax, and clear my mind…and get some shit done that i’ve been falling behind on.
next up on my list would be my writings. also, what am i going to do for kitsune paradise? hmmm….
