So, after all these revisions of my computer I thought it was finally time to revise something else. Some of you may have noticed that my blog has had a make over, complete with modern looking art. This should also make the blog more readable, which i80and has bugged me to do.

Google has made me happy. After sending them the same suggestion once a month for seventeen months they finally implemented group chats into GTalk. This is almost better than lucid dreaming (which unfortunately I'm still unable to do, after a week's practice.) The info.

I finished my last physics test, what a great feeling. The test itself was actually pretty enjoyable, but I suppose I shouldn't go into the details. I might have to retake one test, as I got a 58 (oww, I know). But I bounced back with 94 on the next.

The school year started rather uneventfully. Just a few minor hickups here and there, but largely it went smoothly. The classes aren't particularly hard either, at least, for now. Then again both Chem and Chinese are mostly review at this point. And I'm unable to begin Logic. I've only had some simple assignments I've finished early (that's shows how easy they are <_<). My English class is about to get better. At first there were only new kids, but a bunch of my old classmates are getting transfered.

I'm actually making a lot of progress in the game, I'm quite pleased. I've got a skeletal animation system mostly in place, and of course the entire physics engine. I need to deal with putting it all together, and getting things to interact properly. Object orientated programming is truly a blessing, although I don't think I'm aware of it's full potential. I hope AP Comp Sci will fill me in on the details. I got 3DSMax working again, which means I won't be completely strapped for art, although god help me if we have to use programmer art.

I'm pleased. I can finally type well with my dvorak keyboard, although I don't know what my wpm in yet. This should hopefully make the typing aspect of NaNoWriMo better. I think I'm done...

Dwarves are cool as heck. Nearly as cool as ninjas, and turtles, but not ninjas and turtles combined .

So I'm back to blogger. Wanna know why? Vox has almost no cool customizability, I can't even change my lousy background there. And since I can't change the HTML it means I can't display my own AdSense ads, while I'm displaying their ads. Truly disgusting. I like control over my blog, and Vox can't offer that. So here I am again. And I just found out Blogger has a spell checker. Where was it all this time?

Today I went out with my mom to buy a new pair of shoes. Then hilarity ensued. First we got there before the mall opened, and then the store wasn't there anymore. Great stuff. But will I was at the Borders nearby I found a sweet book on hacking.

And I just did about a tenth of my physics course in an entire day. Now I'm behind in my history, of course. It's the story of my life.

POTD 50

Very cool cityscape.

Yay, 50 what a dumb number. Numbers like 57 are much more worthy of celebration.

Firefox 2.0 baby! It has built in spell-checker, finally. So now I won't be making any retarded spelling mistakes.

Argh! I have a paper for English, a paper of Philosophy, two UMTYMP assignments, and two debate cases, and a history midterm. I'm so sad.

I've got my novel for NaNoWriMo planned out, non-stop bloody goodness with a few interruptions for some political intrigue.

And all programming/game projects are postponed for the month of November, due to NaNoWriMo and NetHack.
