What has Happened to Blogging?

Monkie — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:47:02 +0000

I know I don’t post very often, maybe 3-4 times a month but it seems no one wants to read my senseless posts. I’m just wondering, what has happened to Blogging? I would love for someone like Chris Pirillo, but a guy more interested in Windows. Don’t get me wrong I like watching Chris Pirillo every now and again, but he is always Mac this Mac that, Vista sucks, I agree with him about Vista sucking, but if he ever says something directly about XP. IT’S GOIN’ DOWN! It seems like every blog I go to only has 2-3 posts total from months, even years ago! Blogging is just so sad.

I would be out with my Ruster right now, but my Spur is stripped, and I lost a little spring, the damn hobby shop closest to me decided to sell some other guy the last spur gear they had last week, oh wait, that was me.. But anyways, they won’t get any until Wednesday, that’s to long if you ask me. Looks like I’ll have to go to Nankin and get my spur, new tires, a spring, new shocks, and other miscellaneous things that I feel like spending money on. But I’ll tell you right now, After this last big spending, I’m gonna try to save up for a real car or something. I definitely need a real job too, doing what I’m doing now, Line trimming Lawns, just isn’t cutting it (Lol, Pun). There is an AutoZone at the end of my block, but I don’t think they hire unless you’re 18, but it could be worth a shot.

I can’t think of anything else to babble about right now but I might make a second post later today, (Probably not)

Seeya…

More Rustler News

Well today I broke my Idler gear, Well, stripped it more or less. I was running it around the blacktop at the end of my block, when BLAM! it stopped moving. So I get it home and take things apart and ask questions on the Traxxas forum and they say it must be the idle gear, so I get the transmission of the truck, Get it open and sure enough a completely rounded out gear is just sitting there. So now I have a completely parted truck, and an open transmission sitting next to me.

I did get my new battery though (See “My Newest Hobby”) It’s a 5000maH! 7 Cell 8.4V, More than I wanted, but I am so happy I got it! I was using the new battery when the Idler went out, So I still don’t know how long it lasts exactly (in minutes). The new Idler I’m going to get will be steel so this won’t happen again.

(Random Note: 8 Month Anniversary with Sam is today…)

My Newest Hobby

Monkie — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:54:05 +0000

My newest hobby has been Radio controlled Stadium Trucks, I started about 2 weeks ago, with my very first Stadium Truck. A Traxxas Rustler XL-5, it goes about 35mph. It’s really fun, I’ve already broken the draglink and have gotten that replaced. But I burned out my motor now, and I’m waiting to get that back from Traxxas. My only other modifications have been an RPM front bumper. My battery is just a Venom 3000mah 7 cell 8.4v, but hopefully I will be getting a 4600 or 4700mah 8.4v soon. Here’s a picture.

Not mine, but it's the same thing, but mines red.

It was very exciting when I first got it, The only one they had left was their display model, but I couldn’t wait any longer, I wanted it right then and there. They said they didn’t mind, so I was like, sweet! Yup.

Getting Going!

Monkie — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:35:03 +0000

Well, now that I’ve been back online for about a week now, It’s been pretty hard to get going, I sometimes find myself forgetting what to do after I do one thing. The life I developed while I was gone has really impacted me, I sometimes think, is an internet life not working out? Maybe I’m not as big a nerd as I thought I was…

Well, whatever happens I know for sure I will still blog, and I know Garrett can handle Tyreus, and I can always sell LearnWebDesign.org, not like it was going anywhere anyways!

November seems to be getting closer and closer everyday (Oh, Duh…) But I hope the 29th of Nov. is special for me and her.

Tyreus is coming along very well, the Forum gets bigger and bigger everyday, and the pagerank hadn’t dropped at all! I’m so happy about that, It’s the highest pagerank website I’ve ever owned. Hopefully I can get another good 2,000 links before the next Google update. If you search anything with “Post2Host” in it, Tyreus is always on the front page if not first.

WordPress 2.6 is available, I should probably go update that.

Maybe try to get LearnWebDesign.org running on Drupal again, the darn cPanel backup totally screwed up.

I’ve been twittering a little… not much, but enough, ya know?

Seeya later!

I’m Back Online!

Monkie — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:42:49 +0000

No, I’m not dead, but close to it!

Well if you read my last post, you might as well guess why I’ve been gone for so long. But I am back online today, and maybe tomorrow too. But after that I’m not really sure when I’ll be back for good. A friend of mine, Garrett, had gotten a hold of Tyreus.com from the old server administrator and uploaded it to a new server for me. I planned on keeping him as an Administrator to help out over the summer and see what I thought of him by then. But I come to find out that he did some not so approving things. But I might have him back tomorrow, I just need to clear my head tonight and give it a good long though, He’s been a good friend and all, but I jsut don’t know… I’ll post tomorrow. But for now…

Seeya!
