The Status in which I have statustized

Lately I've been playing around with Facebook and to my amazement they have a java development section. I'm going to see what I Facebook app's I can write with Java. If it works as I think it will, I'll be able to make Facebook apps without having to learn PHP which looks pretty rough from what I'm used to. I've also been playing a lot of eve which is starting to become very interesting. I'm still in the same cheapo ship but my skills are starting to make that ship powerful. I've also been twittering like mad and I'm still loving the Flock web browser. I found a Facebook game called AntRush which is pretty fun. It's a strategy game that doesn't require full attention which is pretty nice even though with flock I'm on all my social networks quite a bit. I was pretty amazed the other day to find this cool web service which tests your words per minute : http://labs.jphantom.com/wpm/ . I did pretty good seeing as this isn't the keyboard I usually use. I tried the Iron Man ps3 demo which was alright but certainly not the best demo I've played. Kinda repetitive game play. I think the customization of weapons which they've included would be neat however they took that bit out of the demo thus making it a one time play demo since it's very repetitive. However there was this one 40 or so MB puzzle demo I tried, I can't recall the name right at the moment however it was about EchoPerspective maybe was the name however it was a perspective game like those art styles you see of optical illusions except turned into a game, it was pretty interesting. Still playing Pain, good buy there. Not much else to say, I did get owned at my LUG when I tried to explain the frame work of my Socrates application which I'll be putting down for a few months till summer since I don't have the time or care to develop that application at the moment. I do plan on writing a facebook application like I said early I'm just not quite sure which one. I was planning on writing a basic counter with an image and simple description for world histories IGA thing. Another project I plan on doing is writing a simple GUI front end to jmePhysics engine which would prove a challenge but more than probably worth it. Sean and I have been trying to work on Teen Linux Lounge except he's a power n00b and can't get his microphone's to work so probably another week with out a TLL episode which seems to be killing the community, I hope we can keep the community going however advertising ourself as a Podcast doesn't work anymore thus leaving us as some teens who use Linux and hang out in IRC. The school's Linux front is slowly progressing which is nice to see, hopefully we can convert a few more people in the latter months of the school year. Now I'm really done.

My Blogging

Well, I've revamped sjsayers.com and I've been using Flock lately. I will be micro-blogging because I feel it gives an easier sense of the term blogging allowing me to post short comments, and thankfully twitter loves that sort of thing. I have started a blog for MrServer which should be fun to write and I have also been playing around with Flock if I hadn't already mentioned that [comic relief] I will probably put my uber rants here and anything to long for my status which Twitter is, I'd reword the micro-blogging in fact to status blogging, a list of things your doing or thinking, where blogs seem to be used for long opinions on subjects or very well written how-to's. I've been uploading quite a few YouTube video's lately, my favorite would be TeaTime which is a rather silly video about me drinking Tea. Other things I've done today would be work on skills / mission run in Eve, I'm trying to fully deck out my Kestrel before I even consider to switching to the larger Carrier or Cruiser, such similar names but it is the Cruiser I talk about. Facebook made me happy today, as I realized how integrated my stuff is on it. It's very neat to see my last.fm charts and my latest twitter status. I believe that is all for today though, so good bye :)
