Oh, summer, where have you gone?

Loading ...It seems like only yesterday, I was kicking back, enjoying the summer “heat” (oh wait, can one ever enjoy Iowa summer heat?), and now we’re looking into October. Ugh, time flies, especially when you’re just working your ass end off. The past month or so, it seems that I’ve done NOTHING but work. I’ve even thrown the typical Saturday night Gaming thing off (magic, etc) because I’ve got to get a bit of work done. Uggh. Thank God for AC I guess, right? I would die without it, and I’m pretty sure this damned beast I’m working on right now would too.
So, speaking of work, what’s new? What’s up? Why all the work? Well, quite frankly, a LOT. I’m taking the company into a (virtually) new direction, one that will give back a bit to the community (ad supported, of course), for all that it’s given to me. Why? Because, shit, I’m a nice guy (no, really, ya’ll can stop laughing your asses off, I AM). A little glimpse of the way things are now, and the way things MIGHT be in the future!
Project #1:
Simple Forums
This project was started just before the summer began, and google’s got it on a PR1 status, so, I need to bust ass and get it moved up there. No worries, I’m getting there. This is (essentially) a free SMF hosting project. Know someone that needs a forum hosted but doesn’t want to pay? We all do! Just point ‘em there!!!! No charge to them whatsoever
Project #2:
phpbb4free:
This one is another “free forum” project, only on the phpbb platform. Just took this one over a month or so ago, and it’s a REAL bear having to edit out 100+ templates for mods :faint:
Project #3:
Video Upload Service:
Fuck YouTube, I’ve got my own video upload service! This was originally started to compliment the RCPM and Wylde Fans projects, but it’s quickly becoming a storage point for (at least my) online videos. Hey, if you want to upload them and put ‘em on your myspace (or any other) page, please, feel free.
Project #4:
PHP Arcade:
2000+ games, can you get enough? I certainly can’t! I find myself in there at least an hour a day. Create an account, login, see if you can get more points than me 
Seriously though, folks, enough pimping my own crap out. What else have I been up to?
Well, I have to say that summer’s been good. Concert season was too short. Let’s see, we did Weird Al and Alice Cooper, and that’s it? WTF is up with that??!?!?!?!?! Both of those shows kicked ass don’t get me wrong, but I just can’t get enough live and loud shit! Can’t forget RCPM, but that was more of a “bar show”, not a concert (though it STILL kicked ass!)
Vacation was good, just very draining. 3 days straight of RCPM and alcohol, I think I did some crazy shit over that weekend (and I’m not talking the NORMAL crazy!)
Origins was great, met Mark (one of my clients), we did some work and hung out a bit, saw Transformers (undoubtedly to me one of the BEST movies of the summer), and just kicked ass!
Moving? Well, I’d hope so. Haven’t heard from Josh in a few weeks on this, but the plan is to (hopefully) start looking for shit in November, which is perfect, cuz that gives me time to get things saved up and ready to go. I can’t WAIT to get out of this place, it just fucking SUCKS so much.
MTG? Fading away again. Oh I’m not giving up at ALL, I’m just stepping back for a bit. Still doing Saturday night gaming here, but I am doing that more for the company and whatnot than the gaming side of things any more.
Music? Well, those that see my myspace profile know the player was removed (by me). I’m going to change the stuff in my profile in my homepage as well. Gettin tired of the same ol same ol’. Me thinks it’s time to put some Mandi Perkins up. Dunno why, seems that I’ve been listening to her more than anything of late, she’s definitely got talent!
What else? Hey, isn’t that enough for this update? No? Ok, well, you’ll have to wait till I’m ready to post another one, fuckers!
