Signed up on a good day :)

Just got back from Kierans; small celebration (Kieran, his mum, my mum and I). Cake was served. We gave him… $20, two birthday cards and a Milleni (If thats how you spell it) wallet.

Mmmm… WordPress just upped their hosting space to 3 gb for every unregistered user…. awesome. Earlier today I looked at the limit (which was 50 mb at that time) and wondered just how fast it would take me to fill that, but then when I logged on after getting back from Kieran’s I noticed it was 3 gb :O Immediately I check the news and found the article.

So… cool. When I finally get something worth uploading, I’ll have space

After Writing: Just looking at that post I notice that is very disjointed/badly written, so I’ll fix that tomorrow.

Blog updated with 25% more goodness.

Add the Bio page and added some words to the Glossary.

Was Kieran’s (friend) birthday today… I messaged him around 1 am to wish him a happy birthday and he woke up…. Kieran had no idea it was me who had sent the message, so I had to inform him at lunch.

I got his card (with his help) and I will buy him some Sanity credit so he can buy his own CD, instead of me using hit and miss tactics trying to get one for him.

Serial Experiments Lain

Just watched the first episode of Serial Experiments Lain….. I am seriously weirded out. I was in a good humor before I watched it, but now I have been psychologically affected by it, but i’m not really sure how. I’m not saying this is a bad thing.

Serial Experiments is an anime ( see the new glossary page) that is highly alternative and abstract. It covers a Japanese Schoolgirl called Lain, who is contacted by one of her classmates who has just committed suicide. She claims that she is not really dead, and that she lives on in the Wired (read: Internet). The series basically covers Lain’s journey into finding out the truth about her friend and the Wired world.

(I’ll add more information when I finished watching the two discs I have; I’ve already read all the summaries of the episodes.)

BTW, I have actually had these DVD’s for about a month now, I just haven’t bothered to watch them as I thought they were the second DVD’s in the series while they are actually the first.

Blog: Rebirth (Or, Hiding under the desk from Google)

Listening to: Bleed You Dry by Grinspoon

Reading: Angel Stations by Walter Jon Williams

And so here I am, minding my own business when suddenly every blogging tip that I see advises me to switch to WordPress!

I ducked, I covered, yet I still managed to get caught by that dastardly of free blogging hosts, WordPress. It was pretty easy to move all my posts over (Note to self #002: God bless the ctrl-c shortcut), and now I have an uber funky new theme (Already planned out the new header - also “uber funky”).

Oh yes, and I do promise to post more!

Oh yes yes, I also have my new years resolution; to learn how to juggle!

In the Interest of Human Interest…. err

I was browsing an autoclicker (a program that automatically clicks something for you, usually in the pursuit of wealth) forum for, well, autoclickers about an hour ago when I found an interesting post concerning charity. FreeRice is a game where for every correct answer you give, the company that owns the website will donate 20 grains of rice to the UN (So far over 13 billion grains of rice have been donated). The game involves guessing the meaning of the word displayed at the top of the page, ie, the synonym of wan being palid.

Anyway, the post in question contained an autoclicker programmed for JustRice which has proven to be most successful (I myself have donated over 40-50 thousand grains of rice so far today.In order to use the script, you need firefox and greasemonkey:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748and this script:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/14542.user.js

And whenever you are on the FreeRice page, it will automatically click

Updated: I also found out that a human needs 20,000 grains of rice a day to live, so get clicking! I got a few hundred thousand grains in the last week!

Money from the internet, lulz

http://getpaidcorner.blogspot.com

I have previously been aware of get-paid-to-click sites on the internet, but I only just found out how to make a profit from them when my friend started the above blog… and showed me the autoclickers (Software that will automatically click adds when they appear) for the get paid-to-click sites.

I signed up for the service, and watched my money go up, cent by cent, when I read on the Bux.to website: I get a cent for every cent my referrals make…. interesting…

Instead of taking the time and social interaction to make new friends, I simply make more bux.to accounts using web proxies I found from here, used email addresses from here (Bux.to doesn’t send a verification email) and followed the instructions found on the autoclicker forum and inserted a proxy IP (fake internet address) into each account. This means my money will go like this: Number of ad’s viewed x 0.01 cents +(number of ad’s my “referrals” view x 0.01 cents) x 2.
This has made me about 7-8 dollars USD so far (about 9 AUD in a day) which although it doesn’t seem like much, is going to build up.

More information will come on this.

Note to Self: #001

Blade is soooooo cool.

More on this will come

*Gasp* Employment, and the shock Fraternal RP geek

Currently Reading: The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson

Currently Listening to: Never Too Late by Three Days GraceEven though he plays EVE and BF2, my brother has always seemed, ah… reluctant to involve himself with the hobby of Roleplaying (Like say, Dungeons & Dragons or Munchkin), but after I sent the internet address to him about GenconOZ he seemed, well, interested in attending. He has always regarded Roleplaying as being a depth of geekiness that he is just unwilling to explore.

Gencon is basically a huge convention of geekery. Unimaginable amounts of people flock to where ever Gencon is being held, which means that people who would never usually leave their parents basements for any social event crawl out of the woodwork and spent whatever money they can find on plane tickets. A portion of these generally technologically-correct, but socially-misunderstood crowd (Usually a minority), are going to attend the Con dressed up as characters of popular films, anime or games (This practice is known as Cosplay. Personally, I would enjoy attending dressed as Tidus, but I have neither the money or patience and ingenuity needed to purchase or create such a costume.).

I’m not saying this is a bad thing. I myself are looking forward to going to GenConOZ, and I have started planning how I can attain the budget I need to get there, sleep with four walls around me (Roof optional), get in, and maybe buy a few things.
My parents pay me about $20 a fortnight to do… well, something, so if I save all my pay (Not bloody likely) from now until the begining of July (Thats when the Convention is) I will just have enough to fly there and fly back.

Which means I am going to have get a job.

Part time work during the holidays looks like the best option, but I am going to have to move onto casual work while I am at school. I have had two close encounters with employment in the past, well, actually one and a half encounters with employment. The first experience was when I helped deliver cartons of milk around Nairne. That paid 5-7 dollars per hour. Needless to say I stopped working about 2 months after I took the damn job. The second job encounter came when I applied for a job at Spotlight halfway through the year. Unforunately (Or fortunately, depending on how you see it), I was not given the job as I refused to work saturdays as it was the day I played Living Greyhawk with my group.

Anyway, must run, I am intending to go to bed early so I can get up earlier to watch Firefly

Post-Blog: I had to write half this blog twice, as the WordPress engine screwed up first time around… Grrr.

First Post; a new begining, whatever.

Hi, this is… “BRBrl”, posting the first post for his blog (He says).

I probably should advise you to stop reading riiiiiight… here, but we both know thats not gonna happen (or not what happened, or…whatever). In order to enjoy, understand, or even survive this blog you are going to need a lot of imagination. I am talking da Vinci amounts… or perhaps even a Kevin Smith standard of Creativity.

Anyway, hi, my name is McAtee, I am 14, and I write a blog.

More text is coming, if RunningSquid allows it.
