Personal Rant Time, Plus some actual work!

Ok, I'm not one for being a bitchy type, but today was worth it. Tons of work throughout the day (with a helper from some 20mg Amph's).

Tasks Accomplished/Started:

1) Generic and excessive school work
2) Olympus Stylus 300 Digital Decompiling and Analyzing (see below)
3) Chainsaw work
4) Home work

All of this was accomplished or at least started.

Now, on to more professional matters...

The Olympus Stylus 300 Digital Camera I decompiled was to fix it.
The problem was that the sliding lens cover would not cause it to go on or go into record mode. So, I crack out the screwdriver, some electrical tape, and tweezers, and go to work.

After a total of around 3 hours, it hit me: It's either really fucked up or going to be really costly to fix it. So, deeming it necessary, I found an exploded parts diagram and a cost list to those thereof.

Cost to fix this camera the right, sane, legal, and nice way? $97.65 (not including shipping and handling.)
Cost to fix it my way? $5 and LOTS of effort.

It's gonna be a long time...

Resources that I've been using have been posted on here! Enjoy.

Party!

So, I was at a party recently. Made out with Derek (a really cute, although emo, freshman). Also, I got to smoke and talk and relax for once in my mizerable life. And I met neat-o people. Good times.

On the contrary, it made me realize I should be a DJ. I could make some decent money if I did, and if I just did it for coolness, it'd still work.

I'm yet to mod my headphones to be better. Also, I'm turning my old headphones into a portable audio solution. Don't ask how, or why for that matter. Just ask when ^_^;

I may be building a system for a friend of my father. If so, I have a lot of work to do. Great.

Still making my NTFS partitions work on Mandrake. Seems that the command _____
-root@localhost$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows -O users,umask={0555} -T ntfs -r
doesn't work. Oh well. Those bastards.

Xanadu Out.

P.S. New photo!

Issues of interest

First off, I found another school folder that has write access. Check around on \\fs-01\ and look for FoundationsMath or something similar. It has write access.

Also, I took a vicodin. I realized that it takes 30 minutes to kick in, and 30 minutes of buzz, then 30 minutes of coming down. It's like a metamorphic hour and a half.

Headphone mod ideas are spurring. One includes making a MPIO FL 300/350 mount on the left side, allowing it to become just the headset, not the headset, 5 feet of cord, and a MP3 Player.
Also, I'm gonna cut those cables on it and solder them shorter. Anyone have any advice?

Professionalism?

I've thought about it, and, really, I've been using this like a Xanga then I have a Blog.

So, with that, I'm gonna use this normally, compared to previous emoness.

First off: Hack Ideas
I went to the mall yesterday, and came across some interesting ideas.

First Off: An Ipod speaker set.
Mod it enough to make a set of: Amplified Headphones!
Planning is underway.

Second: Stealing Stuff.
Carry a Razorblade, Wire Cutter, and a Screwdriver. Can steal almost anything, or steal something to further more attempts. Especially at the register. I almost walked off with one of the Game unlocker kits from BestBuy, because they only had two registers open.
Also, on DVDs, BestBuy uses a small coil of copper with a batttery to make an electromagnet. Mod idea: unmagnetize it by removal or use of own personal magnet.

Third: Keyboard modding.
Take a run-of-the-mill electronic keyboard with drum pad. Get a set of sensors from RS or such, along with wire. set the keyboard into a permanent drumpad mode, then cut or remove the sensors for certain keys, and extend them. Place foam on top, and mount as necessary. There ya go, a cheapass, $50 drum set.

Fourth: Projection Alarm Clock.
My alarm clock is too bright. So, mount a mirror in front of it and angle it. It'll project either the time or a green blur on the wall. No tests have been done yet.

Fifth: Locking up Windows Photo/Electronics terminals.
I did it oen day way back when. The computer was out of order, and I managed to kill RPC service, causing a reboot. However, now it's in a locked down version of IE. It has a keyboard missing the SuperKey (WinKey) and the Function set (F1 through F12).
Most I've gotten is to open the Start Menu. Still working on it!

Ok, this does it for today. Any other ideas or posts will be submitted alter. I have to go back to the mall again anyhow.

Xanadu out.

10-XX-05

I've been fighting with my mom. She got pissed because i didn't want to go see a relative who was sick. Big fuckin' deal, who cares?

Also, I've been listening to Black Tape For A Blue Girl. Good ambience. And, in health, we're startign the drugs unit. I've done 8 of the things on that list. All of them are around Schedule II, III, or occasionally V. I'm still so fucking bored, and I lack the motivation to do ANYTHING.

Last 5 are so-so

Eh. Time away from parents was a lot better then I'd ever imagined. However, I'm still bored as hell, and they're back. It sicks for the time being. Oh well. I'm gonna wrap myself in your intestines.

Back is paining me

Yesh.... Right now, that is my current issue. Due to the unfortuante timing of last night, working on the trail, I have a backache and headache. The headache wil go away, but the medicine for the backache is gone. Stupid Methocarbamanol.

Anyhow, breakfast time!

int main { XANADU_OUT(); }

Parents Gone, All Well.

Yes. I take better care of myself when my parents ARE GONE.
Odd, I know. Almost queer. But true, nonetheless.

Right now, I'm watching FF7:Advent Children. It makes me orgasm repeatedly.

Oh, and R.I.P. Mr. Siemendinger

Dreary with a side of Strychnine

Yeah, so I found out Mr. Siemendinger, a teacher at LHS, died today. Personally, I feel little remorse, but everyone was so mizerable I just gave in. No real homework, and all the teachers were glum and down.

My orthodontist pulled my little white thingy out. 10 cigaretttes turned white into pitch yellow. Ew. Still not stopping me x_x

Penis.

So So So

I'm feelin' fine. My headaches are more common for some reason. And I'm burning UT2K4 for pete. And stuff.


Xanadu Out.

Hubris?

Now Playing: Lamb of God - Terror and Hubris

good song. I didn't get my seroquil today, since my dealer decided to fill his drug container with coke. Oh well. He paid me for it at least.

I spraypainted my incense burner, so now it's glow in the dakr edges with black down the middle. I'm so queer.

And! I foudn an awesome song that deserves a lyrics post!

Lyrics to: The Emo Song. By Adam and Andrew.

Dear Diary

Mood: Apathetic

”My life is spiraling downward. I couldn’t get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry concert. It sucks cause they play some of my favorite songs like “Stab My Heart Because I Love You” and “Rip Apart My Soul” and of course “Stabby Rip Stab Stab” And it doesn’t help that I couldn’t get my hair to do that flippy thing either…like that guy from that band can do….some days you know...”

I’m an emo kid, non-conforming as can be
You’d be non-conforming too if you look just like me
I have paint on my nails and makeup on my face
I’m almost emo enough to start shaving my legs
Cause I feel real deep when dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression, most just call me a fag
Our dudes look like chicks and chicks look like dykes
Cause emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don’t jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo
I’m dark and sensitive with low self esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sister’s mascara now I’m grounded for a week
Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can’t get through a Hawthorne Heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me, it’s never any fun
They say they already have a pussy, they don’t need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don’t jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo
Dye in my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo
I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo

”My life is just a black abyss... ya know...it’s so dark. And it’s suffocating me, grabbing a hold of me and tightening its grip, tighter than a pair of my little sisters jeans...which look great on me by the way.”

When I get depressed I cut my wrist in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped gives me an erection
I write in a live journal and wear thick rimmed glasses
I tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classes
I’m just a bad, cheap imitation of goth
You can read me “Catcher in the Rye” and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes while hating my life
If I said that I like girls I’d only be half right
I look like I’m dead and dress like a homo
I must be emo
Screw XBox I play old school Nintendo
I must be emo
I like to whine and hate my parentals
I must be emo
Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be emo

”My parents don’t get me ya know. They think I’m gay just because they saw me kiss a guy…well, a couple guys …but still, I mean it’s the 2000’s, can’t two…or 4 dudes make out with each other without being gay. I mean, chicks dig that kinda thing anyways. I don’t know diary, sometimes I think you are the only one that gets me…you’re my best friend. I feel like tacos.”
