Well I recorded some audio for New Years. Nothing really witty said here. Kinda of a calm New Years nothign really big. I purchased some champagne and me and Jason shook it up and we made cheap chamagne fly all over the yard of Ed’s house at midnight. Had a swig and that was all of my New Years Drinking.

So we are in 2005 Now. Jan 13th will mark be as being a full time resident of WA state. Now I could go to a real school if I decide to go.

Happy New Years Everyone. Thanks to all those who made it special. I miss talking to some of you that I lost contact with. And to that one person I really miss hearing from you. We hit it off great and now there has been nothing let me know what’s up.

New Years Countdown. Audio Soon


Till New Years

Day Off Middle of Week

I seldom get a day off in the middle of the week so tomorrow is going to be very chill. Going to go fix Jason’s computer cause I installed an unlegit copy of Windows XP Pro cause they lost their Windows XP Home Disks and all I had was an unlegit version of Windows XP Pro to give them.

How come people that are total strangers especially females turn to me for advice. Do I just have that personality of being easy to talk to. Today Steph a girl I work with was having a bad day and I was just sitting there and she just started spilling the beans about her relationship with her sister. I didn’t ask but somehow I managed to bring a smile back to her face which I notice I get from a lot of people. I guess it would be a gift. It’s not something I ever ask about or pressure to help people. I can just say how’s it going and people just can sense how mild mannered I am and I can make people instantly feel better about whatever is bothering them in the few short minutes that I have with someone. Hitch Seems to have the same ability that I do. ;-) Except for the dancing lol

So I was listening to my new XM SkyFi2 and heard a song that I really enjoyed it’s Eric Prydz Call on Me. Availble from iTunes Here
Call On Me (Radio Edit)

and I was wondering if he had a music video for this song. Which to my suprise they did. Now what could you possibly expect for a Dance Music Video well I must say when I showed it to all my guy friends all I got for a response from Jerimiah, Jason, Pete, Mike England, and Kevin was “OMG” Call on Me Video It’s Not Safe For Work and Broadband is Required. There is no nudity but a lot of stuff is implied. The only girl at the time I discovered this video that would have any appreciation for it was Salena and she said it was “Fucking Awesome” So anyways legally get the song from iTunes and download the video in low res from that link. I went on Limewire and grabbed a DVD Rip of it.

Well it’s short and sweet tonight. Tomorrow will be a fun day going to fix Jason’s computer and then Aimee asked if we could hang out and I saw nothing wrong with hanging out with an old friend so that is my day in a nutshell. Maybe we will go see Meet the Fockers. Meet the Parents was awesome hopefully this will be a good flick. That is why we should go see the Matinee. =)

Today Dec 26th

Spent the day waking up at my parents and then we watched the lovely Deanna open presents since she didn’t make it out to my aunts yesterday and then we went over to my dad’s house. That was a fun time got a drinking game chess set. All the pieces are little shot glasses. Since I became 21 every gift is drinking related hmmmm. I still got a Hawaiin Lei or Lay or whatever of booze that I haven’t touched yet. I did try the Saki they got me not exactly my bag but at least I know from now on. I got a $15 Red Robin Gift card from a lady at work and the caption since I was never able to buy you a drink for your 21st. Everybody must think I am some kind of drinking machine. I am educated about drinks I have read all the Bar guids and what’s in drinks so I guess people think I must drink a lot. Truth be told I have only been drunk 3 times since my 21st.. My 21st (Of Course Your an Idiot Once), 4th of July Party, and Darin’s Landlords Wife’s Birthday Party. So far my drinking habits are just chilling and if I have a beer around I might have one perhaps. I have to drive most of the time so I tend to choose being sober over having any drinks. Can’t say so much for the rest of my friends but hey whatever makes them happy.

Anyways I was going to spend my gift cards and cash I was given today at the local Best Buy. Since I was lucky enough to still be an employee at Best Buy (This is just beyond Funny) and was eligble for the Intel Retail Program. I get this motherboard Intel Desktop Board D915PBL and this Processor IntelĀ® PentiumĀ® 4 processor 550 supporting HT Technology Rounding out at 3.4ghz. Which is about 1ghz faster then my current setup. And the motherboard is amazing PCI Express Instead of AGP, Four DDR2 Slots for up to 4GB of RAM at 533mhz, Four SATA Ports and 1 IDE for Floppy Drives and 1 for a DVD Burner or CD Burner. Also to top the deal off a full version of Windows XP Pro Normally this deal would cost $959. But since I am a Best Buy Employee (Not) But Best Buy told Intel that I was so I got this deal for $200.

Now I told people at work about it and most of the responses were “I Hate You” or “Dude Go Fuck Yourself” or “WHATTTTTT!” So this leads me into a new project. Will bring my total to 2 Desktop Computers and 1 Laptop. Now people like to ask why do you need so many. I always like to answer why not. Take my old one and make it into a Music File Server with Linux. Or maybe I could get Two World of Warcraft Account and play one on my laptop and the other on my new creation.

Get to do Case Mod’s again. ReDo all the wiring. Good way to fill some time until that one person comes back in Feb. Now I just have to decide if I should buy RAM, HDD, VIDEO CARD with my Best Buy Cash or use that on DVD’s and just order everything from NewEgg

Such a Day. Maybe I could post Photos of this new creation. I should come up with a name for it. Perhaps something like Skeletor or TMan. Cause my current setup is TPipoMac and TPipoPC. But just to keep the naming conventions in tact I will just go With TPipoPC1 and TPipoPC2 ahh so many choices that will all come later.

Alrighty Enough with this Nerd Post. =)

Have to mark this day and time down. iCal is all setup with the events and alerts just have to sync the cell phone and the iPod.

Lack of details can be so annoying can’t it. =p

Happy Dec 26th. Happy Day after Christmas Day!

Christmas!

Well it is almost over and it was a great christmas! Except that I forgot my sisters gift at home like an idiot but we got that taken care of. Anyways the XM Radio gave us the tunes thanks to Sunny XM 24 for the Classical Christmas Thanks to my Brand new SkyFi2. Had a few drinks and some fudge everything was great and merry.

Hope everyone got what they had wanted now just have to make plans for New Years. I was just thinking I have never kissed a girl on New Years Eve because when I had a girlfriend I was always here in Seattle on New Years last year I was still a little attached to kiss the girl I wanted to. Well maybe this year will be different that one person is on vacation which is a bit Ironic oh well perhaps another “kissless” New Years.

Happy Holidays! Everyone Happy New Years!

Wireless Update

Well I am up here in Port Angeles, WA waiting to pick up my sister and take her to our aunts house to spend Christmas Eve. There is a Hotel across the street that has wireless internet so I just tapped into that. People really need to secure this stuff I could do some dangerous stuff. Stuff I have discovered finding Wireless networks is as follows.

I was driving around one night and saw a lovely bunch of houses and thought I would pull in and see what they had to offer as far as Wireless Internet. I found one network that was open and I turned off all my sharing options so I wouldn’t even be seen on their network I love a BSD Based OS ;-). And I found this folder called pictures that was not protected and I opened it up and they were organized Family, Daughter, Daughters Friends. I thought WTF Daughters friends and it was all pics of his daughters friends in skimpy clothes or their underwear. From slumber parties or other events. I thought to myself WTF Sicko people out there. I would never let my daughter spend the night at someones house unless I inspect their comptuers first. Hopefully they have a wireless network I can tap into.

Drove by a a house one time and my laptop said wireless network found which is odd at 40mph it was called Linksys which is what most Wireless Networks that are left on default say or Netgear or D-Link. And the passwords to access the router are either admin, password, 1234, pass really easy because those are the default passwords. This dude or gal had all their Quicken Files shared and unprotected I could have had full access to their bank account #’s.

I just begin to wonder why people don’t take the 30 mins or so to read the manual. Probably could make a decent buck securing a Wirless Network mine is protected with a randomly generated 128-bit WEP Key that is changed every 6 days because I read in theory someone with a supercomputer could figure out a 128-bit key in 7 days so I just made it six to be safe. Mac Address just let’s me access the network.

I also get an e-mail wherever I am sent to me and my cell phone if someone even tries to access the network and fails at the password more then once.

So secure wireless network. And if the sick fuck staring at his younger daughters friends I hope you die I would like to pull my future catapult up to your house launch a boulder. I hope your wife finds out and get totally gang raped in a divorice.

Catapult Update

Now that I have been talking about this idea more and more it seems more and more people like to hear about it. The reactions I have been getting from Males is as follows.

Male1:”Dude that is fucking awesome”
Male2:”That would be Sick”

Or variances of that

Females don’t seem to be as supportive of the idea.

Female1:”Umm Tristan only you would get an idea like this”
Female2:”Okay Gallagher” (Thanks Kacey lol)
Female3:”What is a Catapult” (Sarah and Stephanie)
Female4:”Don’t get arrested”

The last one got me thinking we probably shouldn’t have a launch party somewhere where the public can view this. I talked to the Big A of the Adam and he said his parents owned some waterfront property and would gladly let us do something like this.

Now I am not the only one crazy enough to do this. There is a punkin chunkin competion where catapult people launch pumpkins as far as they can and what they come up with is pretty awesome. And seems to be quite a following with this so what I would be doing isn’t really new but would be new to this area. http://www.worldchampionshippunkinchunkin.com/main.htm so that makes me not feel like such an idiot for having this idea some of the videos on that website are a bit insane.

Here are some more Catapult/Trebuchet Links I have been looking at.
http://www.middelaldercentret.dk/acta.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebuchet
http://www.siege-engine.com/CatapultGeekCalculator.shtml (This Site will do the math for you)

So many Pumpkins and Watermelons in the world and I get to destroy a few by launching them as far as I can into Puget Sound. Geek Factor? 10!
