I don’t know if anyone knows who “The Frame” is, but this post is dedicated to him (well a picture is anyway).

I decided that I’m going to have pictures with these every day posts. Man, I’m enjoying that “had just the right number of beers” feeling right now (I know my mom is happy about that). I had a few beers at a semi-business meeting, and I thought it’d be perfect to end the day with a Heineken and a game of Strikers 1945 at the local gangster gambling place. My thought was correct.

Today I continued my quest for a clean house. I think for the next few days (or even the next week or so) I’ll be putting a lot of time into getting my pad organized. It feels really good having my “office” in order and I plan on doing the same to the rest of the house. As soon as I’m done getting my off-line life in order I’ll be working on my two main sites (miltownkid.com and miltownkids.com). Big changes are in the wind.

I’m getting back on my Chinese studying track. One of the things I’ve done is work out a language exchange with my co-teacher. I’m thinking it should work out pretty good because my school is so close to my house and I get to practice at school all the time anyway. She’ll also be teaching me some Taiwanese. Hope that goes good.

Beer good. I was going to write something really cool, but the beer fixed that. Now you get this sentence.

Uh… Maybe I should just post the pictures. Oh yeah. If anyone that reads this is interested in having a website hosted let me know. I don’t have an official page up yet, but I’ll be doing web hosting and I’m looking for people that would want to test my service while it’s in it’s “beta” state. I think I’m going to give people “50%” off. You’ll hear more about that later.

Let’s do the pictures.

Magic

I got to witness “art” being made. It was very interesting. That whole thing got thrown up in a couple hours+a few beers. I also have some pics of before, during and after, but I don’t think it’d be a good idea to put those up.

Show me your angry face

I think the title says it all. I took this this week while we were studying the high karate art of emotions. “I am angry!”

Put some BLING on it

This is the picture dedicated to “The Frame”. One day I might tell the story of how I met The Frame. It’s interesting… The day I met The Frame I had some beer (a lot) in me and now I’m posting about The Frame with beer in me. There must be something magical about The Frame, Bling and beer. I have one out of ten. Will I be able to collect all the Bling?

*Note: I took a few pictures of the bling, but went with the one with he brightest flash because I felt it delivered the most bling for the buck*

The guest room

I noticed my finger in the pic after I sat down at the PC. Was to lazy to take another.

I’m going to try to post a clean room everyday or so for the next few days. Here’s the stuff I moved on Monday all setup. Any of you Miltown buds that want to come crash in Taiwan, this is where you’ll get put up. If I can find a TV stand tomorrow, I’ll post a pic of the Living Room Part 2 (my personal gaming center).

Uh, I think that about do’s it.

I’m doing this post in Windows. I really like that Google bought program Picasa for sorting out my pictures. Sometime later this month I’m going to do a full system reinstall and have a small Windows partition that only has a few programs that I like. Eventually I’ll probably fully Linux, but there’s no hurry. I bought my copy of Windows. I should enjoy it.

Check back tomorrow for more pictures and more good times. I have a lot of pictures in the backlog.

till next time

That’s the name of a book I bought a while ago. I went throught it the other day to add to my arsonal of orginization. One of the things the book says (and I don’t think it’s scientifically backed) is if you do something everyday for 21 days it becomes a habit. So, I’m going to try to post on my blog everyday for 21 days and see if the trend continues after that.

I’m spending a lot of time on Principle Eight: Harmonious Habits. Two of the habits she has listed is “Put things away” and “Clean as you go”. They’re both self explanitory and I’m sure everyone’s heard them before, but I’m currently making a strong effort to utilize them. I should have some pictures of the results soon (the house is currently getting put in order).

I would post some pictures, but I’m in Linux right now and I’m not setup to be posting pictures and stuff. Hopefully a lot of pictures will come along with the posts over the next 21+ days.

A hard days work got the best of me again today. That does it for today’s post.

Oh, Elliot updated his site and there’s some cool pictures there (one of me even). Peep it: www.elliotessey.com

I wanted to do a proper post today, but circumstances wouldn’t allow it. I have about 3 big projects going on in the house and I spent all day working on them. Then I had to move a bed and stuff from one place to our place.

Now I’m tired and I’m going to sleep.

I feel like I used that title before, but it’s fitting again. I spent all weekend switching hosts. I switched from a reseller hosting account to a VPS (Virtual Private Server), so now I have a lot more control than I did before.

I don’t know if you (the reader) knew, but we had a roomate and she moved out last week. Now we have 2 extra rooms here, so I decided to clear out my office/multimedia area and make it only an office.

The bed/couch, TV and video games are getting their own room now and I’ll make another guest room (that we make or may not rent out).

That’s about all I did this weekend. Again, no photos. There’s a bunch of things bubbling under the surface though. Excitement is just around the corner…

Ah yes, my Linux install is a wonderful thing. Using it now, but I haven’t installed spellcheck yet.

That about do’s it.

Oh yeah, I did get to see some gangsta shit the other day. They were beating this dude down (or is it up) with sticks and few days ago. I hear about that kind of stuff all the time, but it was the first seeing it (in Taiwan anyway).

I walked right through the group of guys doing the beating downing and they all just kind of paused for a sec while I went by. That was a tad odd. I always joke about the gangsters at that gambling place I like to play video games at, but now I know it’s true.

Let the good times roll…

now I slumber.

Being back to my usual schedule feels really good. I think I’m finally starting to readjust. This is gonna be a crap post, I just need to do a quick something until I do something for real.

Lets see…

I have my main computer dual-booting with Linux now (Mepis) and that’s working out really well. Since I have a copy of Windows I paid for (probably the first one since 3.1) I think I’ll always have Windows on this machine. It looks like Linux will take over as being my main OS very quickly.

I’ve been working on a website for Andy Wang (my jujitsu teacher). I’m looking forward to having a finished product. When it’s done, I’ll be sure to post it here.

I think got all the little misc. things that needed to be done done, so I’ll be back to business as usual soon (lots of PS2/Xbox, Chinese study and swimming every other day or so).

I do have some pictures and stuff to post, but those will have to wait until tomorrow. I’m going to finish (*ahem* start) cleaning this room. I’ll feel a lot better when I get this place in order.

The Forumosa Happy Hour thing is tonight. I might end up going.

That do’s it for now.
