Seeing that classes are finally over, It's time to put Grinch Season into full motion, so here it is, the theme of the season, You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch.

Sonntag 15.12.02
I've got a new hat for my collection, this one comes from the Grenztruppen der DDR which came with a Major's uniform I acquired from E-Bay. I also decided to buy a Rubik's Cube which I have just now defeated. (some assistance required) One fellow in my math class solved one of these in a minute and thirty seconds. I plan to do the same, at some point soon.

Pi news time. The University of Tokyo IT Center has calculated my beloved Pi to 1.2411 trillion places. Bad news though, seeing how the file size is somewhere more than 500 gigabytes, I won't be able to host it in place of my 16 page file, although if anyone can point me to it, I'll host the first meg or two since that's all you'll really ever need. I found my Monkey Island cd earlier and installed the Scumm VM program and took a few screenshots of the Important-Looking Pirate conversation for the Grog page.

Now for a word from the history of the Firemen:

"Established, 1790, to burn English-influenced books in the Colonies. 
First Fireman: Benjamin Franklin."
RULE
	1. Answer the alarm swiftly.
	2. Start the fire swiftly.
	3. Burn everything.
	4. Report back to firehouse immediately.
	5. Stand alert for other alarms.

It's Tanksgiving again, and It looks like I'm not going to get a TANK again. Scorpion deaths are back on the rise so It's up to 3-0 in my favor. The adkill countarrrr hit 100,000 yesterday from when I implemented the counter in September. Two birds just crashed into the window, first one appears to be dead, second one flew off. Well, already about time to go fill back up with turkey again. It's not too late to save Tanksgiving by giving me a Tank. I also beat Rygar a few weeks ago, which is great because I don't know anyone who has beaten it without cheating. -Hours Later- The bird survived the window, I guess it just knocked him upside-down for a minute and he was trying to figure out what he hit. No new scorpions have been spotted, I've been advised to take captives, and start a colony of scorpions at home. It might be interesting to have some pets at home, but It's hard enough to keep the plant alive.

Montag 25.11.02
Now, without further delay, I bring you Dino Riders. Another thing, why am I related to homestarrunner on Google? I hate flash, there's no reason for me to be associated with it's terrible user base.

Donnerstag 21.11.02
Yay, almost Tanksgiving. I got to see a M1A1 tank up that they had at the school in a field. I went nuts with SSI and turned all of the pages here to it. No more looking at pages with only 3 links for the whole site. Metroid supposedly came out on the game cube as a filthy first person shooter. Input devices are much too awkward to make Metroid as cool as possible. So, in protest to applying metroid to a little console, and a 3d world, I will go play the original Metroid on the NES. I liked the SNES version more, but I forgot to bring the snes here last time I saw it. I guess I've burned out on Liquid Spear Waltz now and I'm back to 76 Trombones on the WurliTzer.

Donnerstag 14.11.02
After no searching, I come across the Minibosses. I've decided these guys are the only new band I've enjoyed since 1996. They're so good, I was motivated to recompile my kernel to get the cdburner working again. So, If you want to make good songs, remake old nintendo stuff. New stuff isn't worth the time anymore. Everyone always looks at me strangely when I play nintendo music while I'm driving around. It should be interesting to see what else they make in the time they're still together. I forgot to get my Super Nintendo to bring home last time, since I'm running out of Nintendo games to re-beat. I'm still trying to make the houseplant happy. It's sitting in the window now instead of the opposite corner of my room with the Kentrosaurus. I'm not sure how much water it likes yet, and it needs a new pot + fresh soil. If anyone knows how to take care of a houseplant send word to me, I could use the help. I must be doing something right since it keeps growing new leaves, and points towards the window. Oh yesh, there's the photographie page that's been there a week or so, but I never announced it. The Gyrate.org buttons are also back from my old site.

MONTAG 11.11
Yay, it is once again 11.11, my favorite day of the year. Additions to the site include the photographie section. Other news, Inktomi and Overture suck for categorizing ARRRR on their cheapo search engines. The divx search site has my movie clips poised to give me tons of traffic. Just a bit longer than an hour until 11:11:11....

Dienstag 29.10.02
The office flooded AGAIN! This machine followed it's precise orders and shutdown 5 minutes after the ups kicked on batteries. I watched it happen, due to me following the weblog because I've noticed a large amount of viewers from *dsl.hstntx.swbell.net. I also noticed I'm ranked on the Dino Riders search lists too. I'll take pictures of them next time I go home so I'll have a Dinosaur section soon. With this office flooding issue, we've got a good point to relocate www and dns stuff away from the office since it's prone to fires and floods. I've been listening to the Liquid Spear Waltz from the Donnie Darko Soundtrack for six days now. The roommate informed me about his experience stopping by the house on Friday and hearing this song playing loudly in the empty house earlier today. I've probably have another two weeks of listening to it before I fall back into normal music habits.

Saturday 10/26/02.
The Grog Information page is now ready to educate people about grog. After installing the MS core ttf fonts, I no longer have to resize pages written for 8pt verdana font. Now to get ready to eat massive amounts of Brisket.

Montag Oktober 21. 2002.
All the rain today, how nice. It reminds me I need an overcoat so I don't get soaked walking miles to class. On another note, it has come to my attention that many people viewing this site have no idea what grog is. Let me provide some more information about Grog.
These Important Looking Pirates Introduce you to grog. "As you can probably imagine, it's one of the most caustic, volatile substances known to man." You can also find Grog in Machines such as this.
Due to the excessive size of this bit of information, This will become another page soon. Don't forget to look at my Soviet Penguin Officer. I decided he's big enough to be a Soviet Officer so he got the job. More USSR information, you can still go see Lenin's Corpse in the Lenin Mausoleum in Moscow. I figured they would've torn him to shreds like those statues.

October day twenty, year 2002.
The internet is a terrible place to find information about dinosaurs. After a brief 5 minute search for a Kentrosaurus, it returns with max sizes between one and five meters. I guess dinosaur fans don't like the Kentrosaurus much even though he's got huge spikes on his tail. Maybe I'll take a picture of my "Dino Riders" Kentrosaurus. Oh yeah, most of the sites aren't in English or have more than a paragraph of information about this ignored dinosaur.

Der Dritte Oktober im Jahr Zweitausend und Zwei.

Grog contains one or more of the following:
	kerosene
	propylene glycol
	sulphuric acid
	artificial sweeteners
	red dye no2
	rum
	acetone
	battery acid
	scumm
	axle grease
	and/or pepperoni

END OF LINE.

Monday the Twenty-third of September, Two Thousand and Two.
Performance today featuring On top of Spaghetti.
END OF LINE.

Friday the Thirteenth of September, 2002.
To add to the greatenss of this website, Highland has donated his writing services and written this article Piracy and Arrrring, a love-hate relationship... On Galaga news, Nick beat the pulp out of my high score on the eleventh with 365,800 points on level 37. I beat Megaman II earlier this evening on the trusty old NES. Tomorrow I get my shipment of Meat and a kitchen table and my bed. I've been on the floor for 2 weeks and it's time to go back to spoiled life.
END OF LINE.

Sunday September the Eighth, 2002.
I moved my tv and NES out here so I could play Dr. Mario and Galaga. So far the highest score on Galaga is level 26 with 256,600 points. Tomorrow should bring some more nintendo playing and so forth. House is mostly moved into now. I'm currently waiting on a couch or few to arrive so I can unload it and go to sleep on my floor. (I don't have a bed until next weekend) On the second day of school I saw a fountain full of soap which was said to be 30' tall at 2:30 AM. I forgot how spoiled I was with DSL and now I have to wait until Tuesday when they say we're getting DSL.
END OF LINE.

Tuesday August 27, The second year of the twenty first Century.
Dino and Sara found this arrrr at the Burning Man Festival in Black Rock Desert, Nevada. It makes me want to get signs for my house which I move in to on Friday. I've already named it "House Harkonnen". As for other things, I must find an old rotary phone to have a nice sounding ringer for the phone.
End of Line.

The Twenty-first of August, MMII.
Out in West Texas I'm assaulted first by this guy then his little brother. So for the day that puts the score at
Kent = 2
Scorpions = 0
End of Line.

The Thirteenth of August, Two Thousand Two.
Decided to move the table color to this nice green look. It was probably most likely influenced by my excessive viewing of Das Boot last weekend. I got to work this morning just in time to take a picture of this cloud about to attack the office. Added the Final Fantasy II Icon section. Currently incomplete by my standards but moving along well enough. Everyone and their dog decided to come home from vacation today for some reason. It's sleepy time now.

The Ninth of August, two with two zeros and another two.
Yay, some Friday night, first I play with legos, then get my Red Propaganda virus posting some real propaganda instead of the You Lose X. Fun fun, now I'm going to play Dr. Mario unti I pass out or need food. The timer on the Chill song from Dr. Mario has hit 50 minutes now. Time sure flies when you're listening to good music.

The First of August, Two thousand and nine hundred ninety eight years before the year Five thousand.
I tried signing up for a .Mac demo account yesterday on my G4. What a useless site they have as I couldn't access the sign up page. It probably wouldn't bother me as much If it didn't tell me I wasn't on a Macintosh computer. I think I need to add Lego pictures to the content of this site. What good is a website without Legos, or links to Legos?

The Twenty-fourth of July, Thirty multiplied by Fifty-seven and one fifth.
After viewing the Atomic testing pages again I have decided they're ugly and require a facelift before I will be linking them again. More items will require a start point to continue. I've got a bunch of unorganized pictures here, but I'm uncertain on how I will display them, if at all. Here's a picture I took of my G.I. Joe Serpentor action figure. He doesn't do much action anymore mostly because all the other G.I. Joes I had are long gone. Oh well, I always liked my Legos the most. Non-counterstrike players need to go to the SWCCLAN next Friday, the second, so I have someone to play superior games with like armagetron.

The Nineteenth of July, fifty-seven plus one thousand nine hundred and forty five.
Decisions decisions, on how to make this site disassociate from the filthy "similar" sites google made my last site out to be. Probably will change the links page to have sites not good enough of useful enough for the index.cgi. I wonder what it would take to be similar with Harkonnens and Sardaukar sites. Not that there are any decent sites for them I've found, maybe I can become one. I'd have to get effort first, and that usually takes, some random act that I haven't figured out yet. I'll probably move the atomic testing pages back to accessibility before any Harkonnens and Sardaukar stuff.

The Seventeenth of July, Twenty ought two.
Bad news for Untersee Booten, the US has developed a mega sonar to find submarines. Apparently the tree huggers are upset because their drug submarines will be caught and it harms sea life too. I must make a Tötenkopf logo for the site sometime soon or else the pirates will become unruly and be forced to walk the plank. Most *.gyrate.org sites died when Brent refused to start httpd after the power outage killed his beloved uptime. Someone at work just made more blasted popcorn. That makes everyday this week such an atrocity has been committed. The links page now has a few more items included and a demonstration of my HOSTS file. Never mind about refusing to restart httpd, all the dns junk has changed now, so it exists no longer, yay.

The Eleventh of July, Two Zero Zero Two.
More content and progress. Probably will add some images here and there. I'm currently conjuring ideas for other segments of the site. All of the config files should be in place for proper operation.

The Tenth of July, In the year two thousand and two.
Arrrr.com is founded. More information when I get to it. I must move around my files to work under this domain.
