Over the last week I have been working on getting all of my old data over to WordPress, a very handy dandy blogging tool that has many awesome features. I don’t really feel like coding my own stuff for the blog anymore due to lack of time, and also I feel that I’ve got a good handle on PHP/MySQL which was one of my original purposes for starting the blog back in 2004. It was kind of a pain to get all of the entries from my old hand coded database tables to the WordPress tables, but I used my elite SQL skills to make it happen. I actually designed my system a lot like how WordPress does things, which encouraged me that I did some things correctly at least 🙂 Right now I am using a theme called ‘K2’ which I am going to mod more to my liking. It’s not a blog unless it’s personal! Commenting should work, and I need to add links to my gallery and what not.

He’s a Hero
The world wide web can do some magical things. Amazing things. Things of such beauty it would make a grown man cry. Things like the Captain Planet Eco-Rap Theme Song being ready to listen to at anytime! Lucky us.

Buy Some Coffee
My employer and Tully’s Coffee have teamed up to do a great thing. All of the profits from their ‘Tsunami Response’ blend will go to World Vision in order to help the crisis in Asia. So if you like coffee get down to Tully’s and stock up for the rest of the winter! You can even buy it online.My employer and Tully’s Coffee have teamed up to do a great thing.

The flight home… SUCKED!
Our flight home on Northwest Airlines #33 was absolutely awful! Out trip from Scotland to Seattle took over 30 hours. It was such a crazy thing that it made the paper. I’m tired. Really tired. I’m pretty sure that we were the first to take part in a direct flight from Amsterdam to Moses Lake! *Update* – Here’s

Hello from Scotland!
Well we made it safely here! The flight was a long 12.5 hours. The funny part is that the plane actually flew over Scotland to Amsterdam, and then we caught another flight back to Glasgow. The airplane we flew in to Glasgow was called a ‘Fokker 100’, which is funny for those that have seen ‘Meet the Parents’. So we stayed up for 27 hours which hurt – a lot. But because we did that we are fairly well adjusted to the time change over here. So far we have seen the downtown area where there is lots of shopping. The buildings here are all old and really magnificent. So far I haven’t had too hard a time understanding the locals, contrary to what I head from people back home. Still looking for something that says ‘Roundhill’ on it, I think we’ll find something cause lots of things end in ‘hill’ here. If there’s a ‘Scotsmanhill’ and ‘Jordanhill’ there has to be a ‘Roundhill’. Cheers!

Gonna be a 12 hour flight all together. :O It’s going to be a wonderful time and we’ve been looking forward to it for months! I made sure that my digital camera’s memory card is wiped clean so get ready for lots of pictures! Merry Christmas to all!

FocusRight – For 3D Illusions
Back in my glory days at SPU, my senior software engineering project was a great experience for me. I was on
a four person team of fellow students in my Computer Science major. We basically had one quarter to make a full version software product.
We decided to make FocusRight, a program for making Single Image Random Dot Sterograms. Most people would better know them
as ‘Magic Eye’ illusions. I thought I’d share it out so that people
could download it and try it for themselves. It runs on windows. Enjoy!Back in my glory days at SPU, my senior software engineering project was a great experience for me.

Wallpapers
I’m going to start adding some wallpapers that I’ve created to the gallery. I have quite a few to upload and I just need to find them on my hard drive. 😉 My first one is of the Christmas variety.

SNES Music
Man, this guy has achieved ultimate geekness. I thought I was a geek until I read this page. This guy figured out how to connect to the SNES music processor. That’s so
nerdycool to me. Maybe just the fact that I think that is cool makes me a geek enough.In other news: tonight I am going to the AMD tech tour to see all that the Athlon 64 has to offer. Should be fun, could be dumb.
