Visions in the Desert XXII: :) Pete You Rock

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 25, 2008, 11:26 PM
"Music, the only art, which we cannot see, nor touch yet makes us feel more than man was meant to feel at all." - Myself

"Now the Sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence. And though admittedly such a thing has never happened, still it is conceivable that someone might possibly have escaped from their singing; but from their silence certainly never." - Franz Kafka (from The Complete Stories pg. 431)

As some of the members of #Photographers know I was bitching pretty heavily a while back when I couldn't get in to the chat to moderate, and it seems my problem is back, I tried 50+ (literally) to connect to the dAmn network and got the above message, every single TIME.

Now this poses some questions for me, one is it my connection? No, I connect to every other site I go to with no difficulty and rather quick load times. Two, is dAmn down? From what I've read in the forums, no. They did however have to restart the server, but that was on July 17... A week ago. So really what is this problem and why is it repeating at such a high number?

***

To update everyone on my whereabouts, I've been working throughout the summer to save money for Australia, I plan on getting a work visa so I can stay up to 365 days there. Fuck all this three months crap, that's for sissies, besides I have a lot of someone I want to do. Personally I think it will be a good experience for me to work within the country I plan on moving to when I have the visa, and all the legal documentation taken care of. To stay in the country I need at least 5k, the plane ticket, from what I've looked at will cost me 2,099 dollars, so no biggy right? Wrong. I'm also a full time student taking 18+ hours and running a newspaper on top of it all. So working a full time job, may be out of the question. But not completely.

Ive worked so hard this summer I literally rubbed holes into the bottom of my shoes. They are completely destroyed; the shoes are falling almost off my feet. One has a hole completely through it. I can stick my index finger through it and wiggle it around, that's a sad fact, but I'm pretty smug about being able to rub holes in my shoes. My last day at that job is Aug 1, I will then move back into the journalism world and create a functioning layout for a local high school to use as their newspaper, and finish the redesign of my paper, The Eagle. Aug 7 I have an editors meeting and Aug 11 I have a staff meeting. I have it in mind to go to press on the 21, so this doesn't give my editors or my staff much time to get shit together. I'm putting them through the ringer so to speak. It's not that I'm trying to be hard on them, but I am establishing the mentality that I don't play games. I worked my ass off last year on that paper and I plan on it paying off at TIPA in the spring. Let's break our backs!

[edit]
This is why Pete, $Tachy-on, rocks so much, read my post and being the friend he is, he pointed me towards the new XPCOM, version 1.8, since firefox updated to 3.0.1, so here's the link he gave me:[link] clicky clicky and take some frustrations out else where.

I also went to the entertainment store and bought myself a book on screenwriting called, Screenwriting is Storytelling by Kate Wright. I've gotten interested more and more into screenwriting because I'm more cinematic minded I guess? It's how I see scenes even when I'm writing short fiction. Anyway, that's that edit/update. Thanks Pete You ROCK.
