Hey TristanPipo.com readers! I have been rather slack on updating the blog and because of this readership and hits have gone down. Which is understandable so I am going to work on being a better poster. Pretty much every personal blog that I have ever seen does this every now and then. I used to have aspirations to be a professional blogger. But I didn’t really have the market. Most professional bloggers seem to be well connected in the industry or be females. Being female and having boobs seems to be the number one factor in getting readers. You will instantly attract a great deal of men leaving stupid comments in the hopes that they might be the lucky one that will get to see you naked. But odds are they will meet some other dude who knows very little about their digital life and therefor will not brag about how they got to nail such a female blogger. But as with all my blogs we have found ourself on another tangent. Odd but you would think I am somewhat bitter when I could really care less.

I am writing this at 12:43am Sunday May 25th 2008. When it just so happens that I turned 25 on May 20th. It sometimes has been brought to my attention that 1/3 of my life is now over. Which can be a bit daunting to some. I have never been a real fan of birthdays. For some reason I find myself setting lower and lower expectations every year and find myself getting shafted by things not even making those expectations. Lets see last year I had a dinner at the casino buffet and got some coin and a Wok Accessory Kit. A few days later for another dinner I got ditched at a restaurant by my now current girlfriend. But at least one of those things worked out in the end.

I have been told by some that I have a witty style for writing and that most things I say take a turn on the blunt side and come around for an interesting bit of comedy. But for some reason lately I have been feeling a little down about myself. I would really like to get going back to the gym again. But now with my friends being scattered all around the area I find myself facing the wall of working out solo. Which has never really been my ideal situation. I would prefer to push myself harder and generally require a spotter and like someone that has the same workout ethic that I do. I miss going 5 days a week.

So I am sitting here at my computer desk and I look over at my other monitor stand and see a $1 bill in a wooden custom built frame. That was the first dollar I had ever made working on computers. I fixed a guys computer that was running mega slow. Deleted a whole bunch of software. Ran a virus scan and fixed all his shortcuts since they were all copies of copies. I made $51 dollars for that and that $1 is still in a frame to remind me that it all started from $1.

But it’s rather late and the comedy is just not flowing this evening. I don’t have anything witty to say at the moment. I miss updating the world on myself. You come here to read about me and what’s new. Do you have anything you would like to know? What aspect of my site keeps you coming back hoping for an update? I would really like to know.

Much Happiness and Love to All the Readers. I will be talking to you all soon.

If he wins well all I can say is that would be amazing. All bears in America will be hunted and Truthiness for all.

I am a huge fan of gMail. I use it for everything. I even have gMail for my domain with several of the domain names that I host. It’s so much easier that way. Well for me anyways. I haven’t switched TristanPipo.com to the pro account because I don’t just see a use for it as of yet. But here are some current stats of my Inboxes.

You are currently using 478 MB (16%) of your 2843 MB. (gMail)
You are currently using 281 MB (13%) of your 2048 MB. (tristanpipo.com)

Seems like tristanpipo.com needs some more hot girls to send naked pictures to it. (I say that constantly and I have maybe received 5. Hey how about just some leg shots. Oh yeah!)

But it’s almost dinner time. Having dinner with the family thought I would try my first mobile blog.  I am very exhausted this evening. Had some laser tag adventures today. When you are running non stop for an hour it’s like holy crap I am tired.

I tried some Advil PM last night. Slept like a baby. I can see why people get addicted to that stuff. Sleeping is one of my favorite things to do and I don’t get nearly enough of it.

Hope everyone is having a stellar weekend. I am finishing up by having dinner with the parents and then going home to veg out and watch James Bond: Casino Royale. Since I have had the DVD for a while and no real chance to watch it. Then check out Soprano’s and Entourage.

Add me on twitter. http://www.twitter.com/tristanpipo 

On a side note the more I play with Facebook the more I like it. I setup facebook to grab Notes from my Jaiku feed at http://tristanpipo.jaiku.com  which is where everything I put on del.icio.us, twitter, flickr, myspace, virb, digg and my other sites blogs and podcasts can be seen what I have been doing all on one page. So makes it super easy to stalk me. =)

Love you Internet friends. If you are ever in Seattle I got free hugs waiting for you.

I have been working on the catergory problem and started to file the archives and working on new catergories and getting that going. There is a lot to edit and move and create.

I also got the idea for a FAQ page you may post your questions there and I will answer them as necessary

I also wanted to figure out why the e-mail registrations have not been going out so I have been looking into my webservers e-mail issue. It could be an issue with sendmail or it could be PHP’s mail() function which is not something I have much experience with so been looking into getting that problem resolved which so far is the only major one holding me back.

Or I could just open the comment system but as we saw on the current blog Dave decided to show how much of a moron he is and that is basically why I can do away with him. I got an e-mail from him saying how he liked the new site. I thought it was funny how he was trying to phish to see if I read it or not. Have to love the simplicity of the old text based e-mail clients.

If a currently registered user would like to offer some help with filing the past 600+ posts let me know I would be down for some temporary access permissions for ya.

But as I continue on the journey of a new blog, layout, software we cannot forget about the laptop. It is on my desk hooked up and waiting for it’s new piece of hardware to cheer it up. I was also selected to be in the upcoming Ubercaster Podcast Creation Software Beta Test. It’s like a mac podcasters wet dream. Speaking of the podcast (clicks the podcast catergory). The creation station as the laptop has been dubbed needs it’s life back. But I have been enjoying the liberation. I have most of the tools on Windows that I was used to on the Mac. But just doesn’t feel the same and I really miss the Mac for managing my life. But the web has become the portal for that with the various links on my site. What has the PC user done to me. I was actually reading mySpace and searching for people. What the hell is wrong with me.

But is my Myspace Page Tristan’s MySpace Page actually anything decent? I did change the layout. I put a picture or two on there. The blog on that site makes reference to my Podcast and only that. I have the cliche survey on there. But is it appealing can it inspire someone to say Hello?

I wonder what about my blog does but myspace does not. Probably because myspace has a different group of users it is not really an attractive site to power users like myself but has that dumbed down feel that attracts the rest of the world. Most serious computer people have a small amount of friends on the site. I currently have 99 if I recall which is at the point I can’t really tell who has deleted me or not. Like someone deleted me from their list and my top 8 was off.

I was supposed to go to the gym today but that was canned. Had a couple sausage patties and a nice vanilla protien shake for breakfast and since my cell didn’t ring between 10-11 I went for a nice little walk around the area nice to get some “Fresh Air”. Get some heart rate up.
