Heh, it’s been awhile since I made a real post, eh? Figured I might as well.

I’ve been hammering out code on my website left and right, it’s become my new hobby. My computer science teachers always said I had a natural talent for programming, I just never felt passionate about it until now. Something about PHP scripting makes me feel far more productive than writing little mini-programs in C++.

I spent the weekend with efwolfcub, cadpigjr, Snuggems, Chrono, and Kitcoon a couple weeks ago, and had a very nice time, thanks guys! They took me up to a meetup of fire spinners nearby, and I got to use Wolfcub’s DSLR camera to photograph the spinners since I forgot my camera. I must say, if I wanted a DSLR before, I REALLY want one now! His camera was only slightly larger than mine, but the extra mass made it much easier to stabilize, and I was able to get some really amazing shots without a tripod (forgot that, too). I’ll post them later as a photo post.

Last week, we went down to King’s Dominion, my mom won a couple tickets and decided that a Thursday would be the best day to take everyone down there. It was a fun trip, but I was really disappointed in the rides. They changed the tolerances on some of the restraints, and set the more extreme ones up to require a seatbelt to be fastened to the restraint bars, I guess as a failsafe. The seatbelt shortens the maximum size of the restraint bars, making many of the more extreme rides unridable to people over 5′6″, regardless of body weight. I was completely unable to ride two of my favourite roller coasters, Volcano and Flight of Fear, due to this change, and it had nothing to do with weight. And one that was very comfy last year, the Hypersonic XLC, was almost painful to ride this year.

I had more to post here, but I can’t think of it right now. I’ll make another entry later, I guess.

After a lengthy morning, we’ve finally arrived at AC! We’re staying in room 2007 at the Westin hotel, so come on by and say hi!

My cell number is 540-867-5309, call me if you want to meet up or whatever.

EDIT: Since the con is over, I changed the phone number. I didn’t intend for it to be a permanent reference of my number.

Well, this is it. The time of the con is upon us once more, and Fox and I will be leaving for AC in just a few hours.

Strangely enough, I’m not feeling overly excited by the prospect of going to a con (at least, not as much as usual). Partly because I’ve been working almost around the clock to get Fox’s website ready to unveil, along with his big woodworking project (more will be posted about that when the time comes).

Once we get checked in, I’ll make a friends-locked post with our room number and my cell number. If you’re at the con and want to meet up or something, feel free to come find me! You’ll probably have to actually check my LJ for it, because I most likely will make it a future-dated entry (I haven’t decided yet). So, if you don’t see a post from me in your friends list in about 6-7 hours, that’s where it is.

For the rest of you, I’ll see you all next week!

Last night, there was a beautiful orange moon, and I wanted to get a picture of it. Unfortunately, my camera doesn’t zoom quite that far, and my tripod blows, so not many of them came out well.

However, I got the idea today to try an overlaid composite image with some of them to see if I could make one image that captured what I saw in the moon that night. It’s the first time I’ve done this, but I think it came out fairly decent.

I was taking some pictures of my wolf puppy plush for a forum thread somewhere, and this picture just kinda formed itself. Behold, my nerd-ness!
