Oh wait, I have this thing called a life...

Sun Oct 18, 2009, 6:40 PM
...and in that life there is this thing called the Internet. And it beckons to me.

I missed you guys! I missed the ethereal silence of every post be it journal or deviation. I missed the gutwrenching hurt it is to feel like you're being ignored in a gigantic world full of people, and absolutely none of them want to talk to you.

School has been murderous. I suppose I brought it on myself, but still. Having no off-blocks and being in the Fall Play, while fun, is not good for my sanity in a strange twist of events. Don't get me wrong, I am having a blast with the kids at school, but they just aren't geeky and some are hardly even tech-literate.

So, what have I been doing to keep myself busy? Well, I wish I could say writing. But, the only writing to speak of has been a few boring essays for English (and two for stupid-as-all-get-out Econ). When I'm not writing for English, I'm reading for English. All the other years I had time to read the books at my remarkably slow pace. This year, we have gone through The Invisible Man, Antigone, Genesis, Exodus, we're starting sonnets, and in a week we'll be on Frankenstein. We're not even to half way through the second 6 weeks. I might die (kidding).

I picked up The Halflings today, expect another section out soon (we hope). As soon as I feel good enough about it, perhaps you'll get another Tyd Ri and ALBERT. I'm trying to get myself back into writing my way again. I've said before, I feel like I'm just writing another essay sometimes. But today with Halflings it felt like writing again. I hope I can do a brain dump soon because I've been trying to keep so many things upstairs (because they came out awkward on paper).

NaNoWriMo 09 is in a month. Did a quick look at the boards and found a new program, yWriter. It's written by a programmer by trade who's had a scifi series published. I love how it works, plain and simple, no flashy graphics, just boxes to put text in and descriptors written the way a programmer thinks. It feels like an IDE for novel writing :D. My one complaint is the complete lack of keyboard shortcuts. When I'm writing, I would rather not stop writing, thus keyboard shortcuts. If I can find a "recommend a feature" link I'll post it here and try to force everyone into requesting the feature.

Still on the NaNoWriMo bent, I've been kicking around an idea for a while (which is usually dangerous) and trying to get it to come to fruition. But it wasn't happening. So then on Friday (I'm telling you, I think my muse took a few months off and is back now) I had a fantastic idea that just blossomed as the day went on. I think that's what I'll be writing over November (you have to be an irl* friend or NaNo website friend to get details or possibly drafts).
*irl is loosely defined.

So, with that in mind, if you're doing NaNoWriMo09 you should definitely add me as a writing buddy. I'm lcarsos there too. Here's a link to my profile. Thank you muchly!

I wanted to put Slackware 13 on my laptop (and maybe dual-boot Slack and Ubuntu 9.10, or maybe triple-boot those two and Windows for the rare times I need it on a mobile basis). But, Homecoming happened, and too busy for all kinds of stuff.

Umm, I might be done. Yeah, we'll say I'm done.

I wore a Starfleet uniform to high school on my birthday (and got more than usual complements on my bravery and quirkiness). This was taken in the lunch room.

I'm a geeky high schooler interested in Computer Science, music, drama, and math (and of course, Star Trek). Yeah, it's an interesting problem to have.

Tell me when Access is, nobody's been able to do that thus far. I heard they canceled it O: I certainly hope not, for your sake.

I'll see what I can do once I'm comfortable driving without somebody in the car to yell at me when I try to go off the road...

Ossim :D Thanks for the watch! (And you get the distinction as first person on the Internet to get the joke before I had to explain it)

ohgeez.

I originally learned Visual Basic in the 1990's so I could write my own LCARS interface for Windows. Big Star Trek nerd from before it was cool.

Welcome aboard, crewmate. :)
