Rambles, Questions, and Comments

Well this is a little section of mine that I will (try) to update periodically, although, I haven't decided how often periodically is yet. This will hold any news, additions, or random stuff I wanna say, think of it as "What's going on in Burger's head" (as scary as that sounds). I tried to separate different entries with different coloured headings:

Well its been way too long without an update, and the page shows wear. Seems fortunecity changed its banner policy concerning the use of frames. So most of my pages got messed up from that. So I did a new layout. Lots of layers this time, and more javascript. Anyway, still nothing really useful up here. Check out the pics page, no real new pics up, but tell me what you think of the layout. I started some new pages that I hope to update more often. Go in peace...

October 2, 1999

Finally got an update on this, its been a while. Starting 3rd year Electrical Engineering now, lots of neat new stuff. I updated my computer in the middle there. Now I'm running an AMD K6-2 350 with 64Meg RAM and an 8.4 Gig hdd. I'm loving it so far. And I also moved out of the house I was in, Basically just down the block from where I was. I really didn't add much to this update, changed the banner frame at the top, updated the pictures and the songlist. That's good for now. Later...

Well what to say, the jokes are up! They took a long time, but there are a lot of them, I'd say close to 150-200. I am almost done exams, so stuff should be showing up here quickly. If there is anything you want to see or think that should be up here, just mail me or drop a note in one of the guestbooks. Oh ya, that reminds me, someone please sign my SlamBook, if no one does soon, I'll have to pull it down, and I think its kinda neat. I am going to send out notices to those that seem interested enough to look at the page every time I update, but after this one, I won't unless you want me to send you an update. If you want to be updated when I throw stuff up here, then mail me. Hmm, what else? I don't know, nevermind, I'll talk to you later

Thanks for coming back, This site went down somewhere around Monday night. I noticed it late Monday night. I mailed the Fortunecity Administrators and they said "Your site may have appeared to have diapered but it hasn't, we have had a problem with our server and it has looked as if a lot of pages have gone missing but they are just not appearing." (ed note: I quoted that exactly, as in cut and paste. They did say that page hasn't diapered, silly spell checkers) I don't know if what they say is true, I'm gonna assume it is. As long as it comes back, eventually. I thought that the page was lost again, that's what happened last time, the server drive broke down or something to that effect. Like I said, as long as it comes back, and you never know maybe they will give me another 3 months without having to put a banner on my page again. I guess if you are reading this, the page is up (ver 2.31). So that's good. That's enough for now.

April 18, 1999 We'll miss you Wayne!

Well, I just witnessed history, the end of an era, things will never be the same. If you don't know what I'm talking about and the title of this paragraph doesn't help you, you might as well quit now. Today was officially Wayne Gretzky's last NHL hockey game (a loss of 2-1 in overtime to Pittsburg, Gretzky with an assist on the lone Ranger goal). I won't attempt to list all of his achievements, just put it like this: There has never been, or will be for a long time, a player that has influenced and dominated hockey like Wayne Gretzky. I grew up watching Gretzky's Oilers. Still, in my opinion, the best hockey team of all time. Hockey will miss Wayne, the grace, style, attitude, and overall greatness that he possessed will be difficult to match. I don't know what else to say, but I know that I am not alone in saying hockey will not be the same and we will miss number 99.

April 12, 1999

Well I'm being bugged to update this, so here it goes. First things first. I'm 20 now (and taking alot of flak for it too, I'm too old to go to the regular bars now :o). The page has been updated, look for more in the future, exams just started, and funny enough, that's the most productive time I have or working on stuff like this. Pictures will be popping up here and there so check back often. Master P and a couple other party pictures are up for now, look for more party pictures any day now. The sunscreen song is up in lyric form, if you want the song, mail me. I'm working on a desktop page, its going quite well, within a week or so. Linux has really slowed down now, I haven't had a chance to play with it at all over the last couple months. Hopefully once summer rolls along, I'll have more time. The Guestbook still isn't working as I had hoped, I think I'll just change it, look for some change quickly. As I am writing this, there have been 244 people to may page, some may be repeats, but thank you everyone for showing up. I expect that number will jump pretty quick, I'm sending another round of e-mails around after the lastest updates. I guess I should change the version number to 2.05, maybe later. There, that should do it for now, again, look for updates frequently, I got lots of stuff to upload...

Sorry to those that didn't get to see this, there was a big server error on fortunecity, luckily I still had a local backup at home.
Well, Linux is going good, got X running almost like I want, started using Enlightenment as my Window Manager, she's pretty cool, I'm still learning how to configure and get everything to work, I'm in the middle of midterms now, so you're lucky that I can even put this back up. I haven't done any major upgrades but spring break is coming so it shouldn't be too long. I know the guestbook isn't working, I'm trying, but I must be missing something little. Anyway I'll get her to work. C ya!

January 30, 1999

I know I told everyone that I'd get this up shortly after Christmas. Technically, I didn't say how long shortly was, but anyway.
I'll give some excuses: First, school started and the homework is piling on as usual. Second, I got a Linux disk for Christmas, which means I've been playing with that all of my spare time. I'll give updates later on with my adventures in Linux. I got thinking about this the other night and thought I better get this page up, even thought I haven't completely finished it yet. I want to put my wallpapers up (I got about 30 of them) and maybe some photo galleries. A friend of mine keeps sending me jokes (I have about 200 of them archived) and I want to put the best 100 or so on here. This will be the place to find out about updates, so just check here.

Intro:

For those of you that don't know me, just call me Burger. I'm a 19 year old guy from Canada, somewhere in Saskatchwan if that makes a difference. I go to school, second year Electrical Engineering with Computer Science degree (or diploma, I haven't decided yet). That means that I'm busy most of the time, but when I get some time off, I like to go for a bike ride, maybe the gym, or watch some TV. I love my computer, not that its huge, its a P133, almost 2 years old by now. But with the ASUS motherboad and other little tricks it is one of the more stable computers I've seen, even in Win95 (one of the least stable OS's I've seen). That's about all for now.
