Today I feel pretty good. And my temp is only 100.1F. Tells you where it's been for the last 3 days, doesn't it? :)
I've been running a temp between 101F and 102.7F for the last couple of days, and considering my baseline is 97.4F, you can get a feel for how bad that is... Twice I had to log off of FFXI because I was TOO SICK TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES! If I hadn't seen it once (and ONLY once) before, I wouldn't have believed it to be possible. I mean, what does it take to play video games? I even use a controller instead of the mouse/keyboard to play FFXI, just because it takes less effort. But I just couldn't push myself to play anymore. It was kinda scary.

Also I found out that a person of my dainty mass of 134 KG, can take up to 5363 mg of ibprofin a day without ODing. Or so says my mom the nurse. It turns out that my fever wasn't being controlled because I was taking 200mg every 4 hours, (The minimum and recommended OTC dose,) when a person of my size should be taking 400mg and another 200mg if symptoms don't respond. Go figure.

*NOTE: This is not formal medical advice!!! DO NOT take more than the recommended dosage unless instructed to by your doctor. The recommended dosages are fine tuned to work without harming you. Follow the directions on the container.

There, I said it. Now none of you losers can blame me for waxing yourself with Advil or Motrin.

Anyway, I've got my sub class (Yea!) and hope to level my white mage class to 10 as soon as possible. Currently I'm a RDM 18.2 / WHM 7.8. Having a sub class is cool. I can cast poisona (My favorite white mage spell), and it buffed my mana from 116 to 140. That's a whole extra Cure II. 66 HP for some lucky sob. :)

Well, I'm going back to FFXI (Now that I can remain conscious for the duration.) Have Fun!

Well, I'm sick... It sucks.
But in good news, I've got tommorow, Thursday, and Friday off. Always cool.
Finals are coming up, so I've trying to be prepared for that one, (My art class is going to seriously mess me up unless I can get more practice with the slides. Oh well.

OMFG... LOL...
I know this is my third post today, but, LOL...
You have to read this post.
I mean, he summarizes the total truth of the extended family. And with thanksgiving coming up, I can SOO sympathize with this guy. Our family does the same thing (sans the 40 people), and you can see it.

LOL...

I got the pagination on my gallery working with teh Help of OniAkki! Yea... And I got a copy of my AP transcripts, so I would assume that the school has gotten them as well.. That means that I can setup an appointment with my counsler to get my schedule approved. Woo!

Jim is pissing me off though, mostly because I can't seem to get anything even remotely consistant regarding his face, and the last one I even had a reference drawing... I think that the only way he'll become more consistant is if I actually parameterize his face (Generate ratios for eye distance, noze size, forehead dimensions, etc.) Either that or I've hit the defining boundry of my artistic talent (Which really wouldn't suprize me considering that only a year ago I though that my artistic talent wasn't adaquate for rendering stick figures.)

I like Poodle Hat.

And Hobbit: YOU FORGOT TO SCAN YOUR STUFF AGAIN!!!

Anyways, I turned in my art paper last Thursday, and I'm worried that the teacher might notice that I wrote about 3 full double spaced pages of garbage related to a conspiracy theory that probably doesn't matter to anyone be me. "The flag was chosen to join the nation after the 9/11 incident because Bush wanted to make some good war, but no one would let him if they wouldn't take it as an attack against America," Total gibberish I came up with because I was thinking about it at the time. Although it's not really gibberish, I mean I really do wonder, but not enough to make a 3 page paper about it.

Mood: Sleepy

LAN parties are fun, but I always stay up too late. We played FFXI from 1:00 PM to 1:00 AM (Which is way too short). But anyways when you have to get up at 6:00 AM, you find that life doesn't necessarily work quite right. Luckily, I have most of this week off, (Thank you thanksgiving,) but I have to goto my aunt's place for thanksgiving itself, so part of what would be a perfect vacation is messed up, but that's the way life goes.

And I screwed up and forgot Jim's Glasses, maybe I'll remember them today and draw jim again. And I forgot to do my C homework, so I have to do that first... :)

I'm thinking I may abandon the Front Page themes thing I'm using and go back to doing it the old fashioned way... With pure PHP... MUHAHAHAHA... Anyway, what that will let me do is emulate the behaviour I got with themes, without having to figure out how to make it cooperate with my gallery applications and my blog (Which, as you can tell, doesn't work with themes either.) So I think I'll use a universal PHP template to generate my page and navigation structures. Plus it will let me bring back the really cool formatting that my old site had. I really liked that format...

OW!!!

I woke up this morning with my back hurting, and it still hurts. I think one of the muscles on th middle left side of my back is cramped... Bummer...

Anywho... I got some more colorized drawings up in my gallery. And I've decided that Jim should have glasses (Like the ones I used in my self drawing) as Hobbit suggested. So from now on he'll have big spiral glasses. I'm not exactly sure how they're going to stay on his face, seeing as his ears are above his eyes, instead of along side them, but I'll work something out (This problem has already presented itself in the headphones question...)

I've also worked out a complete SQL query statement for selecting the images in my gallery:

SELECT url, thumburl, comment FROM jtc_gallery WHERE gallery = '$gallery' ORDER BY DESC createddate, createdtime LIMIT $start, 11;

I'll then check the result set and see if there are 11 or less images in it. I'll display only the first 10, and if an 11th result exists, I'll display the Next button. This way I'm not going to cache the whole table in memory just to decide if there are more records. $gallery is a string reference to the name of the gallery, and $start should be a number that marks the first desired record. Both will be derived from the $_GET structure.

Well, I've come up with the world's most un-user friendly PHP application ever for running a gallery, but it does actually work. So now the question, how the heck do I integrate it with my site?! I use front page themes for everything (Server side) and really would like to keep it that way, but the problem is that I have no idea how to force front page to parse a file not made in Front Page, let alone actually have it post process a PHP file... If anyone has any idea how to do this, send me an email and help me out.

Oh, and in further news, I tried out that blue line thing I wanted to do and it works... Yea!

Well, I was looking at my galleries last night, and it is becoming quite clear that they are getting seriously out of control. The size of the pages is starting to push a quarter of a meg, which on dialup connections is horrific. So I need to chop them up a bit. The current method was a chop of an older method with everything on one page. What I really want to do is develop some method for dynamically building the gallery pages from a database. That way adding images is really easy. Otherwise I would have to redo ALL of the pages every time I add a drawing, or add new drawing to the end. But I would really like to have my new work at the beginning so that people who are regulars can quickly check the new stuff and move on. The problem with all of this is that I don't know much at all about using PHP to communicate with a MySQL database. Ok, so I only know how to make it say my name, but the point remains the same, I'm going to have to do some serious studying if I want to get it to work. I think what I'm going to do is install the Windows version of Apache on my laptop and PHP on my laptop and work on it during my C class rather than sleeping or drawing kitty people. :)

I called the people at AP and had them rush send my physics I transcripts, so I should be able to register for classes in 2 weeks or so.

Yea!

Had an old friend send me an e-mail (through good ol' Spoony) and am I estatic to hear from him (When you only have like seven friends in high school, three visit your house every friday, two live lives that are flat out incompatible with yours, one who has moved on and followed a different path, and one you know you'd like to hear from) and the one you haven't talked with send you an e-mail, you rejoyce in it.

Mood: Giddy like a school girl

Well, I did a gallery publish and a basic website update. It's not much, but it's something. :)

In other new, I got my Megatokyo poster back up in my room (It tore of fthe wall, I was pissed.) And I got pictures of the lunar eclipse that happened last sunday.

Mostly eclipsed...	Still mostly eclipsed...	Eclipsed (cool huh?)

It's all about the link shells... I like link shells, it's like guild chat. It keeps us NQIGers together nicely.

But for more important matters, registration for classes has started for me at school and I can't register for any of the ones I want ('cept for Calculus III). Why? Because I am a lazy slob and havn't gotten around to transfering an AP Physics I class I took back in high school. But, since I'm in an engineering field, physics is basically the foundation of everything, and as a resault, is a prerequsite to everything. The circuits I class I want corequisites physics II which prerequsites physics I and calc II. Lucky for me I already transfered all my calc credits so that's fine, but since I want my schedule to be Circuits I, physics II, and Calc III, not having the physics I class basically kills the whole thing Not that the schedule that I built is actually a good one, mind you. It has me in school from 10:00 AM till 6:30 PM on mondays and wednsdays and going to school after work on tuesdays and thursdays till 6:45 PM, which sucks, but would let me work 20 hours a week, thus letting me earn enough money to not have to worry about affording the DSL for the server, the IPs for the server, my cell phone, my FFXI account, school, computer upgrade, etc.

Well, I finally understand why a lot of the people in the anime sound the same, it turns out that the same person who does Naru in Love Hina and Kaoru in Rurouni Kenshin (Dorothy Melendrez) does the voices for 2 more of my favorites (Meryl in Trigun and 003 in Cyborg 009) as well as a whole plethera of other things. She even did Kiyone for the Tenchi movies! I was a bit amazed when I found out all the different things she'd worked on.

Oh, BTW, I found where to buy world passes (about 1200 gil) in the port area of Bastok. It's up high in one of the little shacks, not in the buildings, which is where I had been looking for them and thus why I couldn't find them.

Well, FFXI is out, so my Galaxies account has bit the dust. On the 27th of this month, my galaxies account goes off. But I think it's worth it.

Kilara, my 10th level Mithran Red Mage has been ridding the land of Vana'Diel of foul beasts. All those evil sone eaters, vultures, and quadavs have a new fear... Ok, so maybe not, I'm not even good enough to get my chocobo license yet, but I have slain a very large number of them... :)

Turns out the game has all of the components of SWG except for dabbling. In FFXI you can dabble in the crafts, but dabbling in combat skills/jobs is much more difficault since your skills in them don't stack. Much like Everquest, you gain levels, and get better items, and, *GASP*, buy things from NPC vendors. However, playing on the same server as a friend is quite a bit harder. You have to buy a "World Pass" in game which gives you a 10 digit code that you enter to play on the same server. I have yet to find one, so I'm kind of disheartened...

Anyway, FFXI has proven to be a wonderful game, and looks to hold my attention for a good month or 3. We'll see. ;)
