Registering a domain?

Use NameCheap! Register your domain via this link and make me commissions! Why? I want money to pay off my domains, duh.

Also, if you're looking for vps/dedi/web hosting, check out ExtrovertHost.

Also Anicho is going to hack me SO BAD. Watch out, I might be hacked (or I might already be!)

Later.

Update?

It's about time I made an update, so I've put on a new skin, added a few add-ons (that aren't really seen so much as used when I want too), and eventually I'll make my edits like on the old skin, status, WhatPulse statistics, and whatever else comes to mind. What inspired the update was mainly somehow a link got put in the top right of the other skin (with an insane margin) linking to a birth protection blog, and I could find no way to get rid of it.. so I figured a change of looks had come. After searching through WordPress' website for a decent skin (which I was amazed at how unimpressed I was by some of the top skins) I came across the current skin you see now. Sexy, I know. I've decided I may actually start using this blog a little more often (though that is a weak promise) for development blabber and other hobbies I may take up soon. If anyone has ideas, I'm sure my faithful following will voice them like popular subscribers, james@sindacio.us, james@sindacious.com, admin@sinirc.net, james@zaphyous.com, and so on. They've contributed a lot to this site, thank you. Oh, and lets plug ExtrovertHost, they're the reason this and all of my stuff is on the internet.

Recently I've decided to take up python, I haven't learned too much, yet, though I want to start something (like a website) in python soon, just need to figure out mod_fcgi, apache and I don't know each other very well. Recently I've decided to learn how to use mercurial version control system (did I state that correctly?) for my repositories. First I used git, then svn, but hstuart mad mercurial seem so much better, so I decided to learn it (I worship the stuff he bakes). Currently learning more about it. Soon to release a new pastebin which is a copy of sprunge.us, but in php, rather then python (we plan on make it python in the distant future), it'll be released when I can buy the domain, currently it's in version one, we plan to add more to it that it doesn't have currently (currently supports paste, line numbers, and API for people without the curl command), more info on that in the future. pylon from additionalpylons and I started work on that pastebin, and currently (and very slowly..) working on a logging bot in python with a web interface (which uses webpy). The idea is to make it one process- you start the bot, it starts the website and logger. This has already been achieved, now we need to work on the actual logging and user authentication. We plan on making this open source, while making a website that anyone can request the bot on any network. I'll put more information about that whenever we get around to releasing, which should be in the not so distant future now that I've stopped using github and started using my own repositories, we can work a little faster. Other upcoming projects include my want to make a dnsbl, this would be open source , easy to setup, and of course, used at anyones digressions. My main want to code one is to understand how dnsbl's work, and of course, planning to code it in python, so it'll be a learning experience in many ways, this will probably also be used so I can setup a personal dnsbl for my IRC network, and for use on my websites, more on that later as well.

I recently watched G.I. Joe and Year One (today, actually). I really actually enjoyed G.I. Joe, wasn't bad at all, it's very obvious a sequel will come. I personally never saw many of the old cartoons, so I can't say I know much about the storyline, so I'm just going by what the movie alone, and it was good. Year One, not so much. The story was alright, but I didn't get much enjoyment from watching it, though it had it's funny parts, certainly not a must watch. This was also the uncensored version, and comparing watchmen uncensored and this, I don't know what is uncensored about it, really. I think the next movie I plan to watch is Gamer, it really caught my eye. For some reason I thought it was called The Game.

So during the time after I saved this this morning, I watched Gamer and District 9. Gamer was alright, it had a good plot, but it wasn't much of a watch. I enjoyed District 9 quite a bit, the ending was pretty interesting, after the plot twist with the ship I wasn't sure where things would end, but it had a semi good ending, so I was happy. I thought it was interesting you only see ONE child alien in the movie though. It is a total must watch, some were not impressed, I thought it was great. Now I think I'm out of movies I'm interested in watching.

Today we put down California.US.SinIRC.Net. R.I.P. IT WAS A GOOD SERVER. Replaced it with LA.US.SinIRC.Net, which is in the same data center. I would have named it California, though it was convenient at the time to have both linked to migrate the users over to the new server then go ahead and kill them all off by suddenly killing off California, so LA was the new name. Growing is slow, but I'm still happy.

This is where I end the post of the month. I want to plug a new blog that can be accessed from my awesome blog roll Cremastermind, a blog about stuff nobody cares about featuring reviews about stuff nobody cares about, and other things nobody cares about. I've been told that if I decide I want to submit any material it will be published, so if I do, I'll be sure to mirror it this way as well, so my whole five readers can see it.
