Chorus Concert

T-48 minutes and counting I'm taking as many photos as I can before places are packed, for example the formerly empty music room and gymnasium, where we'll be performing tonight. BLAH! TEH 3N3RGY!!1!11!1!!!

wow....

I dodged a bullet, and the bullet turned into a candy, and the candy was delicious.

I got an Xbox360!!!!!!!!!

Check out my gamercard in the upper-right hand corner of the page! Lots of photos are coming soon!! EDIT 1: Please keep in mind that right now this version of the gamercard only looks good in Firefox

New Flickr Bar (as seen above)

I edited some code in a tag badge that I found at another blog, and the result is a random, automatically refreshing set of 5 of the most recently uploaded photos on flickr. Take a look, press the "Home" key on your keyboard!

Google Desktop

I started this process about 16 hours before taking this screenshot. Ignore the time estimate, it's been that way for 11 or so hours; it must be some kind of safeguard against scaring the crap out of Google Desktop's users, as it was rising at a steady rate of +0.1 hours to the estimate every minute or so.

I got an iPod Video!

30GB, you can view the rest of the photos in the flickr photoset here! I love this thing, I've already downloaded and watched 3 episodes of the new series of Battlestar Galactica!

I'm getting an iPod!

30GB, check it out here: 30GB iPod = $299.99 My current mp3 player can only hold 128MB and has a battery life of about 3-4 hours, not that it could ever store that much time. I can barely fit 4 podcasts in it at once, sometimes 5 Also, I have over $700 and after the 360, will have over $300 left, a perfect amount for the iPod. Actually, I think I may have broken $800, but I'm not completely sure.

AHHHH!

Behold my new god

Sorry that I haven't posted in so long, but

I've been busy with a lot of things. 90% of those things will be posted in a link dump that I may or may not be able to get around to today.

"Vortex"

Vortex, originally uploaded by shaymus022.

I'm posting this because for the first time probably ever in the history of me using flickr, a photo that I uploaded has 0 (zero) views. That doesn't necessarily mean that the photo is bad, it means that no one has had or taken the chance to decide if it is bad or not.

Flickr Pro Account!

It is done! WOO!

"Mist"

Mist, originally uploaded by shaymus022.

Holy crap...I took and uploaded this to flickr yesterday. Today it already has been marked twice as a favorite!

I checked as I regularly do, and saw "2 people count this photo as a favorite"; my heart skipped a beat.

By the way, my Pro account may be less than 20-40 minutes away or less!

"Foggy Sunset 2"

Foggy Sunset 2, originally uploaded by shaymus022.

I took this photo today and uploaded it to flickr shortly afterwards, and already it is the 16th most-viewed photo in all of the 64 out of 65 photos that are visible to public viewers. It has been viewed (as of the time that I am posting this) 28 times (not counting me, since flickr viewed counters do not count the person who uploaded the file in viewing statistics). The 15th most-viewed photo in all of my photostream is 150_5024, one of the photos taken on the Thanksgiving trip that I took in 2005 to New York City. Overall, I'm very pleased about the general responses that I've been getting about my recently uploaded photos, especially since they are all (so far this month) photos that I have taken in 2006, and I think (but I'm not sure) that (so far) all of my photos that have been uploaded this month were uploaded on either the day or the day aftwerwards that they were taken.

To summerize: ":D@photostream!1"

Flickr Pro Account Tomorrow!

At least according to what my Dad just told me, that is. Hopefully in 14-16 hours I will have added at least 10 more photos to my photostream, without even looking at what percentage of my monthly upload limit I've used, or even thinking about the word "bandwidth" ! :D :D :D
