Hawks

Just means that the Nobel Prize means even less to me now than it did last year, when Al Gore (who has absolutely no proof that global warming exists, or that it's even our fault if it does, which it doesn't, and the Earth is actually cooling right now, which makes him seem even more like an idiot) beat out a woman who saved hundreds of Jewish children in WWII. Also, sorry if this has already been brought up, but the nominations are due FEBRUARY 1ST. Which means he had not been in office for more than two weeks when he was nominated. Which is total BS.

So my dad's thinking about password-protecting our wi-fi, because my brother has some kind of issues and apparently can't handle the Internet without the (excessive) filters my parents put on our computers (Norton Anti-Virus fricking sucks.) The school gave every kid a freaking netbook (they have 2gb hard drives and 8" screens, which is fail to begin with and they kill any network you try to hook them up to) and expect them to take them home to complete their assignments and expect their parents to watch them on the Internet. My parents are of course completely OCD to begin with about computers (my dad is some sort of it support/systems programmer) and they just don't get it. I've been meaning to get a job for some time, but who's going to hire a 15 year old who doesn't have a license in this economy? Plus I wouldn't apply for any sort of manual labor job; I'm not cut out for that. I'd like to set up a commission art/graphic design/costume business but I really think my parents would flip out or completely take over. Anyway, back to the wi-fi issue. We've got a Wii; I've got a DSi, and they both need to be connected to the Internet on a regular basis to function properly. If he secures the network, I'm going to need to hack it to get the password because there's no way he'll give it to me. I've recently started thinking that even if I bought my own laptop (I've built one on the Dell website, a Studio 15 I believe, with decent stuff, for $943) they'd try to restrict what I did on it. The computer I'm currently using is around ten years old, at least. It's running Windows 2000, and sadly has IE 6 on it (though I finally got him to break down and put Firefox 3.5 on it a few months ago). It's got a bunch of pictures and crap that's supposedly 'important' and so we can't just buy a new one and put Linux on this one (because my parents are stupid about these things). Hating my situation at the moment. If you're actually reading this, I commend you. Signing off for now.

Having taken Cynic's test, I did get INTJ: Your Type is INTJ Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging Strength of the preferences % 22 62 75 56

So I dunno if Mirror realized that I wanted to know if it was possible, and not just the little header things. Because he told me about the header things, because Omni made them. But I haven't heard again from him. I can probably bother him about it again, just to know what's up. I'll do it soonish. Also I'm just letting you know, I'll do my best to be active and do stuff here but I've also got TET duties to attend to and homework again. So it'll be a little less posting for me in general.

It's great to have you back!

Currently a bit angry with the forums and their whole rich text editor crap... But I think I can get rid of it, will see in a bit. My German teacher (who had been on maternity leave for the past like five weeks and was due to come back next week) randomly moved to North Carolina on Saturday, and told our long-term sub to 'Teach them the stuff in this book." That was it. She was an epic, awesome, amazing German teacher and I'm really sad and disappointed to see her just leave. I understand why she did, all of the kids are attached to her (or they absolutely can't stand her). Our long-term sub is really good and I like her, but she's just not the same. We were all looking forward to having her back, and now we don't know what's going to happen at the end of the semester because our current (long-term sub) teacher was planning on moving to Germany at the end of the year, we at least know that she'll probably be here until the end of the semester, but we don't know about the next semester. Oddly enough, our sub had a story to tell about how her own German teacher was laid off while she was in German 3 because they spent the money to update their football field (I would have been pissed. And I don't use that sort of language lightly.) They had to do distance learning with the teacher at the other high school. Today was a crappy day, it's shaping up to be a pretty crappy week for my friends and I, if nothing better happens in the next couple of days. A friend's dad is heading to Iraq, one of my friends (who loved our German teacher who left) was gone today, I think it was because she was sick though. I also fell off/out of my bed (I have a loft bed, about 6 feet up) at 5:30 this morning, I thought the ladder was where it wasn't. I somehow scraped up my right hand and probably have bruises developing on my leg.

I usually get INTJ (in like three different versions of this test), barely got INTP on this one: Introverted (I) 58.33% Extroverted (E) 41.67% Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50% Thinking (T) 75% Feeling (F) 25% Perceiving (P) 52.63% Judging (J) 47.37% INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population. If I took it again, I'd ger INTJ, so I consider myself an INTJ, definitely. Masterminds, we are named.

Upcoming Calendar events is win (TET FTW!!!!), also liking the Gallery and Blog functions, will have to get used to the post reply and page buttons as they're switched. But we totally need a coolio forum skin. :thumbsup: And I didn't know you could even play RS on Win98... Dang.

OOC: I think.. I have an excessive number of shiny mod buttons in this forum. Anyway. Rusco being back is win. "I'll go next, then. I'm from a place called Earth Mark II, it's never been explained to me why it's called that, anyway, most people just call it Earth. The year is, or was when I left, 2732. I was a semi-successful actor and body double in a fair number of action films, and I was in a reality holo-show once upon a time. I went to college on a full ride scholarship due to my aptitude for math and science, and I have a degree in mechanical engineering, as well as electronics engineering, only that won't do much good here." "If there's something I didn't explain well, or you want to know more about, just ask. At the moment I can't think of anything else important."

Ang took a seat, being careful not to sit on the bottom of his cloak. "Well, this looks like a decent spot at the moment... I can probably build some shelter from trees and stuff if we need it."

Regarding the heading things: Omnitech made them and they match the TET theme, so I'm going to try to make other ones for the Forum Feature. Also I haven't heard back from Mirrorforced, but I did hear from Omnitech. So not sure about it happening yet, just know that I need to make new headings. EDIT: Sorry I just need to say this. I freaking love my orange name. (ERG NO SMILIES!) Okay I'm done now.

"Hello, my name's Ang. I noticed you look like you know what you're doing, what with that bow of yours. I can more than hold my own, but I was wondering if you'd like to set up camp together for a time, at least. I play a little bit, you see (holds mandola up), and I could be of use as I know my weapons." Hoping that was a good introduction and that the man wouldn't write him off for seeming a) crazy and B) being a drow. The little revolution on Alanmark had gotten around to many worlds and any drow refugees were usually turned away or hated... Sometimes killed, driven to madness, etc.

Two questions for us all to agree on: can a character speak Denglisch ('Mein Haar ist naturalich purple. Mir hast ein Problem.' etc) and would it be okay if a character's guitar also came through the portal?

OOC: I'm going to try to draw some pages or something soonish. Don't wait on me if you want to describe the pages though.

I liked the Excl interview more than I thought I would. I loved "We Now Return to Your Regularly Scheduled Grinding". Good articles this week! :thumbsup:

Can someone explain to me how it works? I tried to use Tif's IRC client today and it did not go well. Specifically I'd like to know how to change my nickname because it shows up as 'hawkxs | joined xxx date blah blah blah' and it bothers me. Anything else I should know as well because I am totally new to IRC. Can someone walk me through configuring ChatZilla to connect automatically to Tip.it's IRC? It says irc.tip.it and the server name are invalid urls and the guide only goes into detail on how to configure mIRC.

I read that DSi 1.4 blocked them but they've fixed it now with AceKard at least.

Tyler appeared out of thin air in front of Hawks and Mr. K. "Oh, well hello Tyler. Sorry we didn't come looking for you earlier... We thought you left, then we heard weird noises and came looking... Your leg looks bad, you wanna come lie down and we'll see what we can do?"

I apologize, I haven't had any inspiriation to post lately and I'm running on very little sleep based on what I've been doing the past couple of days. I'll post today hopefully once I figure out what's going on.

Has anyone used a flash cart with their DS before and can they tell me if it acts like a game cartrage in that it leaves no trace on the system after you remove it? Meaning I can use my system as a DSi with no mods if I remove the Acekard/insert an offical Nintendo DS game card? And I'll be able to download Nintendo system updates without worrying about blowing up my system? I was looking into getting one and this was my main question. If this is against the rules in any way (because it's homebrew or whatever) then please lock it.

Hopefully this is good, if it's not just say.

I probably will change it to hawk xs or hawkxs. Not really sure. But I can live with the numbers on the end for now. No, I lied. It'll be Hawks.
