God, it’s so hot. I took a little fold up table outside to use my computer on the porch. I guess there’s no real reason to be in the house except that now I have to see a bunch of neighbors whom I don’t like and who don’t like me. I just talked to Homer for a while about assorted stuff. He’s going to leave at the end of July before Jamie’s mother moves in. It’s so hot during summer. I get so sweaty and stinky, and showering doesn’t really help because I’ll get that way again within a half hour of showering. Hopefully staying on the porch will help. They won’t begin the activation process for out DSL until they ship us the modem even though we already have one. They don’t have any modems in. Because they don’t consider weekends, we won’t have Internet access until a week from this Monday at the earliest. I hope to upload these .txts to a site and redirect webpageless.cjb.net to it sometime soon. Perhaps I can do it at Dev’s if I go there this weekend. My dad’s so annoying. He gets mad over the lamest reasons. Hopefully, I’ll go somewhere this weekend.
I started cleaning my room a little. It’s clean enough to access one desk now at least. I put my amp, two monitors, Chopsticks, and keyboard and mouse for Lambcow on it. There’s also a spot for Zot. Lambcow won’t boot. She just beeps at me. I only tried booting once though, and I haven’t begun to look over her again. It’s just too hot.

Hanging Out With Gonzales
For a while, Gonzales and I have been planning to get together, but something always seems to come up. He wanted to buy a graduation dinner, and we were gonna look at buying and building some computers for his wife’s lab. Yesterday we finally managed to be free on the same days. I went down to CAMS where we hung out in his room, looked at his computer (he wants to upgrade his too) and made a list of what we needed to get. Then we went to Fry’s to begin pricing the lab computers and to buy some new hardware for his computer. He surprised me by buying a mobo, 2.4 GHz P4, and 512 MB of RAM as a graduation gift! ^__^ It was very cool. Lambcow should be back up soon! After pricing everything we needed to and picking up some hardware, we headed back to his place to drop off the stuff and then went out to dinner. We ate a Korean barbecue place. It was so tasty, lol. I’m still stuffed. Plus, there were a lot of asian girls there! Wow, it’s 4:08 now. I sort of took some breaks during the writing of this entry.
No More ISP, Fallen Chopsticks
It seems my dad failed to tell me that we were $150 behind in our Earthlink bill. As of 1:00ish this morning, we no longer have an ISP. We’re probably not going to reactivate Earthlink. Verizon has a DSL / cell phone / Direct TV package that it looks like we’ll get. From sign up, it takes five days to activate, and we’re not signing up today. If we were to sign up Friday, I’d have Internet access on Wednesday if weekends are counted. It seems funny to write this because by the time anyone reads this on WebPageless everything will be okay again.
I’m going to continue making entries despite WebPageless being down. I’m also writing in notepad because my intranet doesn’t seem to be working either, lol. I can’t get Zot to see Chopsticks. This might be due to the router in the middle, but I really don’t know.
I knocked Chopsticks down last night. When I picked her up a half hour or so later, I noticed that her screen was cracked multiple times. The screen already didn’t work though. However, it was off. I turned it back on. It turned back off a few minutes later. I really thought I broke Chopsticks for good. Yeah, later I noticed that her brick got unplugged. Electronics need electricity. Stupid me.
Mike
I forgot to mention that it was Mike’s mom’s birthday yesterday. Mike didn’t realize this until his grandmother called him around 7:30 or 8:00. He didn’t have time to buy her a gift.

MT-Medic
Despite not needing to, I recently clicked the “Forgot your password?” link on the Movable Type login page. I wanted to see what it would do to restore my password. It attempted to e-mail me, but because I hadn’t set up MT to use e-mail, it failed. But my password was already changed. At this point I couldn’t get back into MT, but I found a very nice tool. It’s called MT-Medic and can be found here. I’ve also mirrored the tool on WebPageless here. Assuming you’re able to put one file on your web server, this tool will allow you to fix many MT errors and allowed me to reset my password.
SpaceShipOne
SpaceShipOne, the first private spaceship, successfully reached space yesterday. There were many errors, and back-up systems had to be used. Despite bad trajectory, the ship made it. The 63-year-old pilot, Mike Melvill, is the first to receive commercial astronaut wings from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Monotheism and Jihad Behead S. Korean. S. Maintains Its Stance
The terrorist group known as Monotheism and Jihad beheaded Kim Sun-il, a South Korean hostage. He worked for a company providing supplies to Americans. Monotheism and Jihad demanded that Korea pulls out, saying that “[Korea’s] army has not come here for the sake of Iraqis, but for cursed America.” They probably have a point there though. The ROK will still send 3,000 troops in August.
Gable House Get-Together
I’m planning to have another Gable House Get-Together sometime next week. For those who didn’t go to the first get-together, we pretty much played 2 games there and went to dinner afterwards, although it didn’t happen in that order last time. It’s most likely going to happen next Tuesday, or not. Other possibilities are Friday and Saturday. As soon as we have enough people to do something, we’re going to do it, and anyone showing up late can catch up with us. Please call me when you’re near (5-15 minutes before coming) to determine exactly where we are since plans do change.
Anyways, if you’re interested on coming to the next get-together, IM me for details.

No spoilers.
Kippei fixes his problems with Yuzuyu-chan and Kokoro. The resolution with Kokoro might suck a little, but everything’s for the best. This episode resolves the drama that’s been happening for the last few episodes. I suppose there’ll be a new conflict next week. If not, they’ll have to revolve an old on. We’ll see next Sunday!
Cowboy Bebop The Movie
Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door is a great movie for Cowboy Bebop fans and can be used to introduce you to the series as well. It takes place after all the characters have come together, and the plot is completely self-contained. Both the animation and the music in the movie, just as in the series, is some of the best I’ve ever seen/heard. The introduction style looks like something that would be done in a live action movie, and parts of the movie do look real. The music is performed by The Seatbelts. I think the music of Cowboy Bebop is one of the major aspects that make Cowboy Bebop so great.
The plot of Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door is a little looser than most of the series. I find myself wondering if what they do in an attempt to vaccinate the population of Mars would really work and if Faye could legally get away with taking over the weather control station as a terrorist. Then again, things like that happen all the time in the series, too. Collecting bounties is kind of pointless when you have to pay so much for damages, eh? It’s a wonderful movie though, and I really recommend seeing it.
