So after finishing the cam I decided to continue cutting out ransom note letters for my automated ransom note writer. Here is the

Simply type the note and print. No finger prints added. I figured this oculd be necessary at some point.

None of the wirefusion stuff made it to the site. I had prised him a class of 14's worth and then only about 5 turned out good. I will make a place to post them here soon.

As for the 64 bit processor. As far as I know none of the software you use has been upgraded to take advantage of those processors.

Here is a to the benchmark pages for the opteron from AMD. If you get one go with the AMD opeteron. You can find such things here at zipzoomfly

I would stick with a dual xeon P4 for now. Or maybe go for the 64bit and hope the software take advantage of it. I think you would be best putting the additional money into ram.

The candle and dish was made using Cinema 4D. I have the file still if you want to check it out sometime. It seems to take forever to render.

I had to remove lunatiq38 and yoyo's journal today. They turned out to be the same person (against policy), they were posting porn(against policy), and they were sending nasty emails to other people on the site(against policy).

At first I had stuck up for her saying that she was a confused girl who needed an outlet, blah blah. Anyways she turned out to be a real psychotic bitch and sent Jessica and I nasty emails. It seems pretty messed up that she signed them in secret as Florida bitch. I would have respected her more if she used her name. Seems pretty spinless to me.

We had a meeting today and I am not sure what this means for the future of the site. We are going to have to make an official policies that people must accept upon signing up. I had hoped for this to be unnecessary. I am not even sure if I am really interested in the project so much anymore if it has to be so restrictive.

There are a bunch of possibilities:

0. We could enforce the local only policy, but that seems so exlusionary to people who had lived here or those related to those that live here. We would lose iresara, mk, hodown, and courtney to start off. The benefit of having local only is that people are held personally responsible for their actions. They fuck shit up, we beat the shit out of them. Okay, just in theory.

1. Ditch the project and start my own site for me only. Much more control for me, the site coudl be really technical. I may do this either way.

2. Start a fund raiser so we can buy our own T1 connection for the supercomp and control everything, also acceptable.

3. Only accept people via invitation or references. Restictive but effective.

4. Just let it go and hope there aren't jerks out there.

5. Anyone else have an idea.

On a similar note, I have decided not to let the journals be searched by google. I really don't want this site to spread on the internet. The orginal focus of the site was the deglobalization of the internet and we are already going to far in the wrong direction as far as I am concerned. I am seriously interested in moving it to a localized, wireless intranet because of the type of problems we are having now. I don't want random people from other places, with no vested or even indirect interest in our neighborhood to fuck it up.

I think that if we open the journals to be searched by the crawler bots, we are opening a can of worms. For people to find the site now they have to look for elmwood strip not just whateve rthe topic was for the day. That already eliminates so many peopel out there.

Nick,
VRML is dead, let it rest in peace. Try another format like Java3D via wirefusion/UZR or viewpoint models or Shockwave 3D. VRML will always look old and tired.

If you are tsill interested in the format. I have some great books on VRML. You should really read them to understand how it works. They were written about 10 or more years ago.

My dad's cousin died and I have to go to the funeral today. Hodown, you would rememeber him probably, we sat with him and his wife at my Cousin Paul's wedding at Salvatores. He was only in his 50s, so I imagine the family will be devastated.

This will be the first possibly tragic funeral I ever attended. All of the other funerals I attended were for much older people and everyone would reminisce about how they lived a long and happy life and it was just there time to go, etc.

At least I get to go with Mike. I imagine it may be hard on my dad too. Maybe not, as he seems to have attended a lot of funerals, but it is his first cousin and I can't imagine attending a funeral for Christina or Jennifer, especially if we were in our 50s.
