My World

Me

Yikes, that last description here was terrible. I mean, if I'm going to be stupid, it oughta at least be funny. One for two on that count doesn't do too much good. Just a little update here, I've decided to start changing different things around the page. I seriously doubt anyone will recognize it for a while, but we'll see. First person who's visited this page before who notices this change, mail me for a special prize. Or something like that. I'm using linux now, so I can't double click the stupid little time/date thingy in the bottom like windows. In fact, I have a better "little thingy" down there now, since I'm running X-windows on my RedHat linux system. ou, la, la. Neato. I even recompiled the newest kernel. Spiffy. Now I need to learn this little thing called "emacs". We'll see how well this goes. I've decided I don't need no stinking HTML editor for linux, I've got emacs, or pico, or anything else like that, and that's good enough for me. Although, ironically, it looks like emacs is built to work with HTML now. How sick is that? If you don't get it, don't worry, it's more a comment of my nerdiness than anything else, that I would notice and comment. If you disagree, and believe it's perfectly normal, it's because you're wierder than I am. Ok, I'm really babbling. I don't even know why I'm up, I'm sick, I should be asleep. Oops. Well, lets go hide some changes somewhere else.

Interests

At some point, this will expand into a well developed, carefully written and linked section of my various interests both in and out of the computer world. Until then, it will remain this boring line of text.

Work

I work at the College of Health and Human Performance as a part of the Computing Services department, group, division, or whatever we are. Eric and I are student assistants to Brian Roberts. Check out the Computing Services homepage for more information (it's being updated at a rate slightly faster than my personal page, so it should be mostly up--except possibly the server scripts, which would of course be of no use to you the average visitor to my site).

Also, check out these logos I made while at work a few days ago. Obviously we really have our hands full there and never have any free time too goof off. Also, if you want to see some similar images (similar, and yet different -- see, the other ones are funny), Eric made all of the pics in the /eric/ folder. He's quite possibly the funniest (re whackiest) individual I know. With the possible exception of Andrew's Naked Ninja Friend, Don Trueson.

Fun Stuff

Ft irst off, if you at any point, see anything resembling humor (in the same way a dead animal floating in a bowl of jello is humorous) on this site, it is most likely a weak attempt at copying something that's actually funny. Here are my insights. Here are my idols. The Three Naked Ninja's of Mystery (with UF's own Andy), and of course, The Onion.

Great things to check out

Here is where I might inadvertantly include something worth spending a few days or weeks studying because of its sheer value to your life.

Fun with Playdough^TM

Actually, this section will give you some hints on cool stuff that's hidden into this webpage. Here's a list of stuff to get you started:

Many of the images can be moved (fun on the friends page--make your own collage!)
Try manually accessing subdirectories.
The "H" key does what?!
Some links aren't underlined, and some of those might even need to be double clicked. Oh yeah, the mouse doesn't change too. Hard to find, huh? Take, for instance, the word HOME in the footer.

Something Special

I have a special prize for those of you who are dilligent enough to find this. I finally got my webcam installed and even though the capture card tends to crash my computer, I think it won't if I just use the snapshot function. Anyway, here's the photo. Right now the webcam itself updates every minute, while the webpage viewer updates every 30 seconds. Why, you ask? Because I wanted to and that's my perogative. That's why personal webpages are so much fun. You get a fleeting moment of useless power over this one little slice of the world. Ahem. Was I saying something? Oh yes. You'll also notice a little icon at the bottom of the menu bar that links to the webcam. That can pop it up from any page.
