For the first time in almost a decade my computer crashed from a virus. I don’t know where it came from but the fucker wouldn’t go away. The weird thing is I just re-installed windows and have done nothing but e-mail and this web page. With the programs I use for the web page and the type of scripts I have installed on my mail server there is no way I could have gotten this virus. Unless…, someone got on my computer and put it there. Ironically I got in an argument with my room mates wife the day it crashed about me being on his computer (I bumped his desk and he was no longer idle on yahoo). The virus had duplicated itself 65,197 times. Causing my computer to crash.., it deleted my explorer.exe so I had no start bar and no file manager…, it’s a nice virus. But fortunately it’s gone now.

This has been my whole weekend, fucking computers…, and the one I ordered still is not here 2 weeks late!

I thought it would be all great that I got put on quarters spend some time on my computer get what I need done to my web page. Even checked out a book from the library on C++. As Irony would have it though the computer crashed. It crashed and it didn’t, almost like some amateur got on it and tried to delete windows so it wouldn’t boot. The ironic thing is just before I went to class on Wednesday I got into a fight with my room mate’s wife. She thinks that I keep getting on his computer and doing shit. The weird thing that I see is I have a computer and the only thing I am trying to do to his computer is disable it from getting loud and overpowering the room.

Anyway, something happened to my computer…, a lot of files were missing, and everything was fucked up. I have managed to get the computer to boot so I have my taskbar now and can run a virus scanner and backup my shit. The virus scanner is still running I have a lot of space for it to scan. It has currently found over 7,000 viruses and hasn’t touched the folder that I keep my executable viruses’ in. (They are harmless unless run directly). I just re-installed windows less than a month ago. Don’t have a P2P clients installed, and have only downloaded videos through my torrent client. Everything else on my computer has been on here before and virus scanned. Most everything was from CD’s and disks. I don’t usually install a virus scanner because I know how to get a virus and all it does is slow me down. I have gone almost 8 years now without having my system crash cause of a virus. And even then it was only because the internet was just becoming popular and it was very easy to get a virus. I know viruses, I have lots of them. But I have lots of experience with them in removing them working on other people’s computers, distributing them, and I just know viruses…, was my specialty for a long time. And the fact that I get one when I couldn’t have done anything to get one makes me wonder about my room mate again.

I come home from class spend 5 minutes on the computer then pass out cause the codeine made me drowsy. Woke up the next morning and my computer and only my computer lost power…, room mate has access to the power strip on his side of the room.

Seeing my chain of command can’t do anything, and I was promised a new room mate months ago when I came back from leave and found out he went on a shopping spree through my stuff I have given up on approaching that method. His mother likes me, she sends me e-mails, sends him packages with notes that say “share with Chevy” (she works for GM so says she can’t say my name). He acts all innocent towards her and she hasn’t a clue that she really fucked up as a mother. He cares about what she says over anyone else including his wife and has caused fights between the two of them.

I am tired, I am 26 years old, I will be 27 in three months. I don’t have any kids yet, and don’t have any parenting skills. I am sick and tired of babysitting my room mate that just turns around and fucks me over. I have run out of options, talking to him does nothing, talking to his wife starts a fight, talking to my NCO’s does nothing…, I have tried everything else. I now get to lower myself to his mentality and play the “I’m telling Mom” card. I feel like an idiot just saying it, but do I have any other choices? He is making my life miserable; he steals my spit-shined boots and uniforms I paid to have pressed. He steals my food, my cigarettes, I can’t even buy anything with alcohol cause he can polish off a whole bottle in a night. He has no disregard for any consequences that may happen to himself or anyone else. He has the mentality of a 3 year kid and cares only about himself and what he can get away with. He owes me $667 just for the cable TV and Internet over the past two years. He owes me over $200 for phone charges because he has stolen my phone while I am sleeping to call the states or his wife (that I can’t prove cause of the way they hold phone records here). He owes me so much money in general that I could retire.

Yeah I sound like a little bitch, but I am tired and I give up trying to be adult about this.

I had to go in to get a wisdom tooth pulled today. This is the fourth wisdom tooth and the last thank god…, but each tooth was pulled at a separate visit. I had the proud pleasure of paying for the first two out of my own pocket, but this is my second one while in the Army. The only two times I have been on quarters or been on profile.

For starters, seeing I am on quarters for the rest of the week I will probably be working on the site a kit due to being stuck in my room and I only can do so much. I am posting now because they also gave me codeine (An alkaloid narcotic, C18H21NO3, derived from opium or morphine and used as a cough suppressant, analgesic, and hypnotic. According to dictionary.com). So before I am high as a kite and do something stupid to the site its best I post now sober with a bit of common sense.

This was the worse wisdom tooth I have ever had pulled. The roots of the tooth branched out like a Y so they had to do a lot of digging and pulling. It took an hour and a half. While my gums and part of my tongue were numb my cheek and lips were not. The tools they have must of been from the middle ages cause every time they pried at the tooth it stretched my lips beyond there limit. Half way through he told me its common for patients to get blisters on there lips from all the pulling and stretching. At the time he told me that he also said I had one started. He had to numb me up several times, I don’t know why but I think I have developed some kind of immunity to Novocain from all the other visits to the dentist to work on my teeth (4 wisdom teeth, 8 fillings, and two chipped teeth, each a separate visit except the two chips have been replaced a couple times). Plus all the times I have had to go and get stitches (a long story and each one embarrassing and stupid). I always have to have them give me like twice as much Novocain as they intend.

The whole side of my face hurts, they gave me Motrin and codeine and I have taken both. The codeine has started to make my face feel a little better, but not that much. The papers they gave me said it will work better if I take with food and haven’t eaten anything since my morning visit to the dog shack.

Anyway, I am confined to my quarters until Saturday morning, and on profile until a half hour after PT on Tuesday (hell yeah I will use it to get out of PT even if it ends right after, I hate PT!). My face hurts like hell I am still spitting blood, I taste nothing but blood, and I am waiting for this codeine to kick in. So anything you want done to the site or anything you want to talk about in the forum or over IM, I am here until 0730 Saturday morning. Have no food so will have to sneak out sometime, but not for long. I got my gamepad out and want to try out my new Nostromo so I might get into a couple games this weekend too. Who knows…, I will be here though.

A lot of talk over the new upcoming gaming consoles had been coming across the media and internet over the past several months. I have seen a lot of rumors and some places have even shown fake pictures of what they will look like. None of them have been even close to what the official released pictures look like. They are both white, but Playstation has three different colors already to choose from. I am interested more in the Xbox than the Playstation mainly because the Playstation controller looks really fucked up. I also have an Xbox now with a couple Xbox games. Both systems will be backwards compatible with there older systems. The Playstation however will be using a new type of disc that will hold 53 gigs worth of data. I am anxious for this type of disc to be released for consumers to use like CD’s and DVD’s…, (Burnable). The dates keep changing, the styles are subject to change, but apparently they are becoming more and more popular as they get closer to their release dates.

The one thing that does upset me is I finally after waiting for a while; I finally bought an Xbox last Christmas now it will be obsolete by the end of the year…, figures.

I re-arranged my room yesterday. Got sick of being pulled into arguments with my room mate and his wife. I have very little space now but I can do everything I want without having to get out of bed now. Computer, TV, Xbox, just about everything. I have it setup too so I can buy bookshelves and a desk at a later date and fit everything in here. It seems a little more cramped but it will be easier to organize my stuff (been here almost 2 years now have quite a bit of stuff). Getting the bookshelves today I hope…, waiting on my girlfriend to come here so we can go together. Once I get my computer put together I will then worry about the desk. The main thing is with my room like this I don’t have to hear my room mate bitch about me having more space than him, and the TV, DVD player, VCR (yes, I have a VCR, I’m old), cable box, and Xbox are also all on my side so he can’t use them even a little bit, and I can put up a curtain and be able to be along with my girlfriend…, if he brings half of the company in here when I am trying to watch TV with my girlfriend then I don’t have to share my bed as a couch and hear them bitch about what we are watching.

Now I just have to worry about him paying me the money he owes me.

WTF?!?! I go into the shoppette tonight and see there is now an Air Force candy bar…, and it’s like the biggest candy bar in there. Last I thought this was an Army post, and I see more Air Force half of the time than I do Army. They get everything else anyway; I just wish I joined them and not the Army.

I went through and put everything Cafepress offers in my store. Everything has the basic logo graphic that I have been using for a while (shown below). I just clicked the “add all products” picked one picture for all and added them too the store. I can only use each product once with the free account and if I pay $5 a month I can create as many of each as I want. Seeing its a free account and there is not really anything there of interest I dropped the prices of everything down to the base price. Meaning I get no profit or any type of compensation. If I get enough decent products and start making some regular sales I am going to switch to the premium account and then raise the prices slightly.

I am not making this web site to make money. I spend $20 a month for 3gigs divided among three domains with unlimited POP3 accounts which is one of the main reasons I wanted my own website is for the e-mail. If I can receive a little compensation…, great, but I doubt I will. I turned off the banner ads at the top too.., they just make it look tacky and needy. Not looking to make money just like having a web site that gives me the ability to share shit with my family and friends.

If you want to make anything for the store, or have your own ideas submit them to the forum, or upload your graphic in the member gallery. Basically anything with the below graphic is something that is waiting to change. Once I get enough products they I will have to go and upgrade. $25 a month is less that what I pay for cable TV that I don’t even watch…, its a cost I can live with so if your interested in helping me, please do. Otherwise it will just take me longer to make something for everything.

Still no package today…, I’m starting to get pissed. I want it before the weekend but beginning to give up on it. There was a possibility of getting it yesterday but I should have gotten it today. Then tomorrow if it does come I will be ending the field problem which will leave me like no time to be able to go and pick up the package. And on Saturday they are only open for and hour (1000-1100) so that will be like my only chance to get the package but if I don’t get it by then, then I will have to start making some calls. I am just too impatient for this package and am kind of afraid of it getting lost seeing the one box is worth over $1,200. I miss being in the states, if I ordered there I would of had it in 3 days and a tracking number.

I just hope it comes soon.

I made some new graphics the other day for the site and am just now blogging them. With the field problem going on and me trying to re-arrange my room and get this new computer ready I have been kind of busy. Anyway here they are…,

User ranks:
I have to edit the post count and everything still but not sure how to do it just yet. So here are the images.
, , , , , , , ,

Plus made some other images for things like profiles and member search:

Have some more graphics to create but because I haven’t gotten my computer yet and the one I got sucks ass it may be a while before I finish editing the others.

I got two packages today for my computer. I am holding a 1GB PC5300 chip, that has fancy LED lights on it and I can’t do anything with it but stare at it. I am guessing that I should get everything else tomorrow though…, with my luck it will be on Thursday or Friday when we tear down from the field and I can’t get to the mail room. Want my computer so I can get it up and running while I have the 12 hours off during the day. I just have to figure out where to put it in all my clutter.
