No longer am I restricted to the whim's of other blogger boards. I have now moved to a new level and have started my own blogger on my own webpage. HaHA!!!

They thought it couldn't be done. Well I proved them wrong. LOL

Yes Folks that is me and you will be seeing more of me as time goes on.

I am trying out the new w.bloggar tool so I can post straight from my desktop without having to log into my page.

I am now starting a transformation of the Spacemanbob site to something fresh and crisp looking. No more will there be a menu bar on the bottom. Look for an integrated Blogger and menu options to greet you when you click on the main login window. This will take some time, but I have already started with the Blogger. Hope you like the changes I am talking about.

What the hell... Some of these people that are making these so called plugins should have detailed instructions on how to upload them and make them work. I have spent the last hour trying to get a weather plugin to work with it crashing the Blogger command center each time. Thanks but no thanks.

Well once again the alarm clock didn't work. The cats did the job. Maybe I'll try just using them as the alarm and see what happens.

Well folks time to get some coffee and read the news.

Ok here we go. I am now at work trying to figure out Exchange 2000. What a mess.

I am going to take a break and just post a picture of something from Star Wars Galaxies.

Is there a need for a Forum when you have something like this. I guess in some way there is. I'll have to dive deeper into the configuration to see if we can set this up for people to post in here if I haven't.

I didn't expect to have to learn CSS this way. Guess there is no better time than now I guess. Edit 1 2

When I get a handle on this new format, you will see the links that I had before come right on back. Hope you stick around for that. I will. :)

I have just gotten the parts to build my Two processor system. When it is done it will be a dual 2.5gig system. Now some programs I have will work a lot faster since they like more than one processor.

I should be finishing this up on the weekend so stay tuned for the results.

Star Wars Galaxies is ready to Launch tomorrow. So I log on to the test server this morning and get another final patch. I launch the game and it is soooooooo F'd up.. Here is a screen shot. 1 Million small animals all outside of the spawn point to a town. All fighting each other. Yeah this game is ready for release.
LOL You'll die laughing.

Oh and here is a screen shot of something they foxed so women can't do this anymore. Now they make women lay their legs down when they sit down.

I need information on how to learn CSS. Yes I know you can look at some peoples sites but it doesn't help me. Is there a web utility that allows you to make pages with CSS that is WYSIWYG format.

If you read this and know what I am talking about please comment. Thanks.

I have allowed anyone to start Trackback on any of my posts. Here are the links to them if you want to watch a certain topic.

Lets see how this works with trackback

Boy what a mess. I got the game in the mail today, ripped it open, installed it and then proceeded to pull my hair out.

It took me 45 minutes of hitting the back buttons and reloading the starting login screens to finally get registered. What a relief. Then I get in to the server list to see a whole bunch of servers to choose from. Nice. I log in to a server create a character and proceed to take a tutorial(which I had taken in beta) just to see if things have changed. Nope they didn't. It is a nice Tutorial for beginners.

Plop... The shuttle puts me on Naboo and I proceed to see if there are any other people on the server in the city I am in. Nope. Not a soul. I then find some trainers and train up Marksman and Novic Medic so I can heal myself. Run to the bank and deposit the last 100 credits I have. By the time I finished about two hours later, I had accomplished the task of raising some basic skills to be trained. The only problem is to find someone to barter with so I can make some money to train with. No luck Still no one on the server. The day roles on at work.....

5pm sounds and I am out of there like a bolt of lightning. Bang Zoom... I head home. Install the game at home and then get in the game. I get to play for about an hour and then things start happening. The server crashes. I say ok figures... They pushed the launch date a little too early.

It is now 11pm and all the servers are turning off and on like xmas tree lights. The chat support rooms are loaded with 800 people plus all yelling What the Hell????

This is a sad launch day for SWG. Poor planning made this turn into a flop when it could have been such a good thing if the servers were stable enough to let people play and create their persona's.

Here is a picture of the opening animation.

Something I have been saving up for, for a long time is finally waiting for me at the post office. And no it isn't a blow up doll. LOL

I will post a picture on it tomorrow morning.

I added a new feature that I have been wanting to add for a long time. Computer screen grabs. Now you can see if I am looking at dirty pictures at work. LOL

Actually you will most likely see me working on Web stuff, or working on Microsoft stuff at work. It all depends though on how busy I am at work.

Another portal into some of the things I do.

Well the place that sold me the bad processor came through. I slapped the other processor in and now I have a dual Processor system that is running almost at the equivilent of dual 2.3gig processors. Which comes out to almost the same speed as some Servers that companies run their software on.

I am now in the process of installing software and will do some testing to see if it is faster than the system I am on now. It should be.

I'll be a flyin high if this works.

Woooo Hooo!!!!!

I am heading out of town for a couple days, so keep watch of Spacemanbob.com. Make sure it doesn't fly away.

I'll be leaving at 4pm today. Cya Sunday.

Last night was a long day. The Groupwise Email Server for the Web Crashed Hard. Basically I was on the phone with tech support till 10:45pm last night. The guy told me that he would get working on it again this morning at 8am. Now this would have been neat to see happen if we had Exchange up and running full steam. Then it wouldn't have been such an issue.

Right now I know I will have about a million calls from people telling me they need it up to do their jobs. There is nothing I can do at this time though since I will be relying on the tech support to get it reconfigured and working.

Today is also interesting in that we are supposed to start moving the Computer Department to another room. This will top off the fact that some other people are coming over to help with some migration software for Groupwise to Exchange 2000. Weeeeeeee!!!!!

This is a full week to say the least.

Today was a better day than the day of the Crash. LOL

We got the Web Email Server back online and got the connectors for the Exchange Server and Groupwise to see each other. Now I can get to the task of switching people over one by one to Outlook. It will still be a task to get 200 people over onto it but at least it has now begun.

It is now bedtime for me since I was up late yesterday. See you all tomorrow.

Today was another one of those days that never end. Just when you think your getting ready to leave something comes up and you end up having to work another 4 hours. What I ended up working on was the new email server getting the software configured to send emails to both systems and to acknowledge the existance of both people on each side of the mail servers. If this sounds complicated, it is.

Hope to see you all bright and early tomorrow. Cause I know my cats will wake me up like they always do to feed them at 6am sharp.

I am off to get something to eat and to maybe catch Pirates of the Caribean. I'll let you know if I see it and what I think of it.

Just saw Pirates at the Theater tonight.

I liked it and I will probably own it when it comes out on DVD. I may go see it again but only if I bring a blanket to the theater. Boy was it cold in there. Good Special Effects, Plot Twists, and good acting as always from Jonny Depp.

Thunmbs up from me. :)

I am headed off to school for a week to learn how to get into the inner workings of Exchange 2000. I will be an email guru when I am done. WooHoo!!!!

Welp I have now been to class for 3 days and things are getting interesting. We will be getting to the end of this Exchange class and I will know more than I ever wanted to know. In fact so much information that I am sure I will need to pull out the book to remember what I learned.

Another thing I learned is not to eat all the goodies they have for us in the class. I have gained 2 pounds. Ouch. But I know how to get rid of that. Have wild sex for a day and that will get rid of it. LOL Right... Hmmm Sounded good. I'll just watch what I eat and should be fine by Friday again.

If you have no idea what Exchange is, it is like a technical book of information 400 pages long and each page has new features so by the time you finish the book, you have no clue as to what the first part taught you. It's HUGE!!!!

I'll get the hang of it though.

Welp, today is a big move for me in the office. I am moving to a new location where I will finally have an office of a sort. It will be short lived in a sense since I will be moving to a newer location in a month or two. But at least I will have more space to move around and will feel more at home in the working environment.

Should be an interesting day to say the least.

Well, the Moving goes on. At least I got all the computers and my desk over. Now comes the hard part. Trying to get all the books and software back in the desk that I had before I moved. I am thinking of just leaving some of it in boxes but will have to see. So in a way today, it was a success .

I woke up this morning and do you know what I did.    LOL     No not that silly.
I got out of bed and pet may two cats. Jerry and Frankie. Then proceeded to.... No not that... to feed them so they would stop bothering me at 5:30am. Good God they want to be fed early these days.

Now onto other things. I am Master of the Universe.. Well maybe not. But I am fresh with new ideas that I want to work on at work and at home, and for my friends.

That's a lot of stuff all at once ins't it. LOL

Since I have a new office with no window to the outside world now. I have an extra Web Cam. I think I will experiment with the Good one at work a little and see what the little one does at home.

Not sure if I can ever leave. LOL I am heading out to see my best friend Mike in California tomorrow. I should be gone a whole week so don't really expect me to change much here. I should come back loaded with pictures and stories of my adventures in the Mountains of Los Angeles.

Yes folks, I have begun the Workout Round again, and I can say with delight that I am not totally out of shape like I thought I was.

I began my workout this day with just some Aerobic Cardio stuff. Jogged 1 mile in under 10 minutes which suprised me, didn't even think about stopping, and could have run at least two more laps but I didn't. I then made my way to the Eliptical Stair Master Machine. Punched in 25 minutes at level 4 and off I went. Yes I sweat a lot today but I made it without thinking of quiting.

I will be back on track to add more muscle mass as the week goes on, just in time for Texas A&M's first football game this coming Saturday. Gig'em Aggies.

I should be back online at home in about two hours. I am Gym bound.

Should I put up a message board instead of making you all post replies to when I actually post. That way you can post anything you want at anytime. The Link will be on the left side.

Please let me know.

p.s. Bonnie where did you go on vacation????

This is a picture of me in the mountains and at Disneylands California Adventure before the GangFight Ride. LOL

today i farted, and it smelled. I fart long and hard... i even yelled.
The flowers and trees saw me do it. It was so thick one could even chew it!
I farted so loud and long. I farted the anthem to a song.
I know its sad but true; But after tonights Texas A&M game, I farted on the CREW.
You see, like shit, I blew. Hot, molten thick diarrhea spincter stew.
But at least I didn't nearly lose like the damn wreckin crew!
Now my pants are filled with air and waste, thick death brown toothpaste.
Scrub i may. Scrub i might, but alas ill have that shit smell in my house all dang night!

What a way to start the day out. You wake up and hear a cat coughing up a furrball. Yummy. LOL

I searched the whole place and couldn't find it either that's the weird part but who know's maybe it was just something I thought I heard when I really didn't. LOL

What to do today. Hmmm.... Probably going to mow the lawn, since that sounds like a good thing to do before it gets hot. I'll let you know what I do afterwards.

What trouble can I get into today. Hmmmm....

I am thinking about making the Forums today. That's what I will do. Make them once and for all. That way you can all start your own conversations about how looney I am. LOL

Look for a link on the left side of the page. :)

I got the forum up and running. Now all I need to do is get the color scheme and the logo's up on it. Then I will work on the upload image thing so you can all upload images when you want. :)

Hope you enjoy them. Use them and invite other people to use them. If you give a proper email address, it will even tell you when someone has replied to your message, that is if you want that.

Now back to my BBQ. T-Bone Steaks. WooooHooo!!!!!

Today is the wrecking day for the bells are ringing,
I am not singing
For today is the day of mourn.

Rise of sleepy eyed pied with Texas belles,
For tomorrow is hell
For today is the day of mourn.

Leave behind your Shakes
Embrace yoru land of earthquakes
For today is the day of mourn.

The bells tolls but for whom do they sound
Soon in flight you will leave this hallowed ground
For today is the day of mourn.

The clothes march to the suitcase in single file
Chanting, "no more shall we drink ZigenbockHiel!...hiel!... hiel!!"
For today is the day of mourn.

My friend has left. My heart is sad but I know that I will see him again soon. So take care Dana you are a good man and a great friend.

Now...

I got back to the office today and everyone was yelling. HELP!!!!! My email won't go through. Well... I thought. First thing I checked was the email server. Sent a couple emails to a person from different locations inside and outside the university and you know what. They all came in. I checked back with the people later close to 5pm and they all said. Thank You for fixing it. I just said, "No Problem. Call me anytime." LOL Sometimes you just have to show up and things fix themselves.

And Dana if you read this. I found out that Janice isn't mad at me or you. She just didn't expect to get that type of thing from someone she didn't know. All is well.

I think I have finally found a topic that I love and hate all at the same time. Or should I say intregues me to some extremes.

The topic that I have found that I will now devote a section to is on UFO's.

I am someone that would like to believe in them, but to this date in time, I have not seen more than a couple videos that actually make me believe I am seeing something from outside of our world. The remainder are pretty easily dismissed as aircraft or natural phenomina.

So now begins the topic that will fuel my posts and hopefully the posts of others.

I watched a program last night on supposedly authentic UFO sightings. Boy was I in for a shock of my life.

I watched this for an hour, and I didn't see one thing that made me believe that any of the footage was anything other than Camera Lens abberations, or Airplanes at high altitudes or balloons floating in the air. And then the best part is that they have these experts making statements saying that "Based on the Distance this object should be around 1 mile in size". Yeah right. The footage was sooo shaky and sloppy that you can barely make out that it is anything at all. I am sure glad these guys make themselves look like fools.

Then there were the people that claimed "The Men In Black" came to visit them and told them to forget about what they saw. LOL

Just once I would like to see some pictures or footage that would make me say, "Dammm what the hell is that".

This is a funny and twisted movie. Not a blockbuster, but one of those movies that has funny twists in it and is pretty entertaining overall. If you get a chance to watch it, go for it.

:)

I am going to be going to work around 12 today since I have to be forced to watch a football game. Too bad I have to sit up in the airconditioned room with all the announcers and cruise the interenet while it goes on. LOL At least that is what usually happens. As long as the network is up and running things should be just fine.

If the game is totally boring I will search the net and try to find some things about UFO's and post them up to get some conversation going.

Boy our football team sucks. This is the second year in a row that they totally blow chunks. They seem to do good in the first half and then after that, it seems as if someone replaced them with a high school team. They can't complete anything and allow every single play against them.

I hold no hope out for them to win any other games the rest of the season. And as for Bill Byrne on raising ticket prices 40%. You should have done that when we had a good team not when they can't win anything.

WOW!!!! Started with a BANG!!!! This movie isn't for everyone, I'll tell you that up front. But I liked it and will buy it when it comes out to DVD. What a Rush!!!! BANG!!!!!

N=N* fp ne f1 fi fe fL

I think this is the most likely way to predict life in the universe but it may need to be adjusted as we find other planets around other stars in the coming 10 years. If the abundance of stars with planets around them continues to go up I am sure that other factors will need to increase or decrease depending on what type of stars are out there.

I guess I should post something today. I'll see if I can come up with some topic later on. Most likely a UFO one.

    I have been thinking of space related things recently but am not sure where to proceed with my postings. Hmm.. Sometimes I think I should create a new webpage to it but other times I think I should just post it to my forum. I think I'll just post it to the forum for now and see if it is worth the effort to make a whole page out of it.

We are such pompous creatures to think that we can survive anything that comes our way. I had a discussion with some people yesterday about Comets and Asteroids. After explaining things to them, they just came back with the standard Movie Answer. Just send up a space shuttle with explosives and blow it up. Or even better, just send some of our nuclear missiles to intercept it.

The Shuttle can't escape earths gravity. Nuclear missiles can't escape earths Orbit either. Plus, if we sent something like this up with current technology, it would be way to late to change the path of any large moving object from hitting us.

So the conversation ended with them accusing me of being a doom and gloom person when it comes to saving the human race from extinction. That is if we found a large asteroid heading to us with less than three months notice. But to be truthful, it is just plain truth, that we wouldn't be able to do a thing about it. Which brings me to a point. We are frail creatures on this planet and on the grandiose scale of the cosmos, it makes us smaller than an atom in a beach of Sand. :)

But back to reality. I am on this planet and will enjoy it as best I can. Not letting these types of things run my life or make me live in fear since I enjoy life as long as it lasts.

Testing the Laptop Blogger installation.

I am working on some new CSS to make the webpage look a little better. This is a long term project so things will progress as I find the time. Which I have a little more of these days.

Just wanted to let you all know.

p.s. I am still waiting for UFO information to comment on, so if you find any, post it on in the forums.

Finally I got to put some CSS to work. I now have the layout of the blogger the way I want for now. I don't know why it took me this long to get to this but at least it is done. Now I can start working on getting the older links back online for you to all enjoy.

I have been thinking about some things lately. I'll be posting my thougts and will try to make these posts intelligent. My plan is to work on good posting to keep you all interested in the things going on in the daily thinking of the incredible edible Spacemanbob. :)

I am looking into some plugins to add some functionality to the site for me as well as the user.

I also have an idea for the main initial page of Spacemanbob.com. It will include some new links to items and will serve as a spring board for entering the world of Spacemanbob.

Look forward to the changes.

If you want to just leave a simple chat message to me. You can now use the Quick Chat option on the left side of the page. Don't worry you won't have to leave a web page address. Only if you want to when people try to click on your name.

The best thing about it is that if I am online and looking at my page, it will refresh when you hit the save button.

p.s. I am trying to work on a plugin that will display the top 5 comments on the right side of the web page. But as of right now. I don't know how to get all the coding set up. I am working on it though.    

I set you up with an account to post to the blog of Spacemanbob, but you still do not post or have configured your blogging tool. :(

Get off your but and start posting or ....or ....else. LOL

Another UFO show comes on the air again at the SciFi Channel. They are going to investigate a sighting at an English airbase and try to convince me that the UFO is real.

What I suspect will happen is that there will be a lot of speculation and fuzzy video tapes. Along with poor sound bites making us believe that someone is really telling us what we want to hear.

I'll watch this program but will hold my tongue until it is finally over. In my opinion, if this were such a big case, it should have been blown out of proportion a long time ago. The Human species is just to curious to hold onto something this important for so long without telling someone about it. Just think about all the people that work on the spy planes in testing. Other people know about it way before the general public does. That's because us humans like talking about what we do for a living. It is habit and nothing will change that. Someone or in specifics, many people would have already leaked out information to their friends who in turn would hae eventually leaked this to other friends.

In the mean time I will find something on the net to look at and post my findings here for you all to digest.

p.s. I want to believe, but have not run across anything yet that I can say is anything truely out of this world. :)

Ok.. I added something to show that I truely like your comments. I have included a new script that will post your comments as if you put them right under my post. This way you don't have to click on a link to see that comments from people.

If you would rather have the comments in a top 5 list then let me know. Right now it makes it easier to figure out what we are all talking about without having to pop open another window.

Ok folks.... I watched this show last night with Bryant Gumble. It actually raised more questions than it did answer them for me. One thing I noticed though is that they were promoting so many other peoples books and theories that it clouded the whole story.

When they did focus on some individuals, their visual discriptions of what happened were different to say the least. If you are going to put people on that are going to be telling what they saw, at least make sure that they will tell similar stories so we will believe it. These people told stories of what they saw so different that they could have been reporting on totally different events.

But back to the post.

I will be posting what I can find on this in the forums so we can all look at some of the data and go hunting ourselves for ALIENS.

I am working on setting up a photo gallery where I can upload images straight to the web from anyplace I have an internet connection and my laptop or computer with USB support.

What this means is this. I will have some password protected areas, for family pictures that I don't want the world to see and other areas, for the whole internet to see. Another thing this means is this. I need to use my camera a lot more than I have been. But don't worry. Images from other galleries already deep inside spacemanbob.com will be converted over as soon as I figure out how this new one all works.

No more searching links for photo's of SPACEMANBOB. One place will include all of the goods. :)

YES!!!!! It is about time and I am glad that he is finally going to pay for all the things he has done to his own people.

I had a busy work day today. Was rushing around working on small issues that pop up on a day to day basis. If only I had some student workers in to work on some things for me. I wouldn't be here now at 6pm.

I'll be leaving for home soon though. :)

If you have a DVD Burner and would like to make backup copies of your movies for protection against scratches and damage. Get DVD Shrink. It is a free program that will copy your DVD to your Hard Drive so you can then burn them onto another DVD.

There is a little research involved here but the help screens walk you through what you need to do in order to make the copy.

Remember this is not for making copies for your friends but only making backups of your originals in case they get damaged. You can never have enough backups... hint..hint..

Welp, I am here enjoying the time off, and am getting ready to hit Disneylend. I'll have some pictures to upload to you all probably tonight when I get back.

I wish everyone a Happy Holiday. You should all get what you want from Santie Claws...... :) LOL

Well it took me a while to get back home but I finally did it. Although it was a long journey and full of great moments in California I feel able to get some good rest.

I had some good quality time with my Friends. Dana is a great guy and I would have liked to spend more time with him. I feel sorry that I missed the directions and almost got lost on a turn off trying to get back but there will always be more times to come out and see him.
Mike and Kelly were great and as usuall I ended up just eating DimSum on Sunday. Now that was good. :) Yummy.

Now back to the home front. I got some good books and will now be reading them since I have some time off and will be making some changes as I learn them. All for the benifit of you guys. ;)

Take it easy for now.

Twin Rovers to Take Photographs of Mars (AP)

AP - Like a couple of camera-packing tourists, two robotic rovers are schlepping enough photographic gear to Mars to keep the folks back home in pictures for years.

I have my Weather Station Software installed now and will be working on getting the page up and running once again. It will be up before the New Year is in full swing. :)

I am working on some news feeds that will be shown on the main front Spacemanbob page before you get here. These will be some small changes to allow you to see all that I have going on besides my blogger and personal forum.

Don't worry though. I will not bow down to other sites and include ad's for products. NEVER LOL

Terrorists Pose New Onboard Threat

There is concern that terrorists who have flight training experience have either infiltrated foreign flight crews, U.S. intelligence officials told ABCNEWS, as the Department of Homeland Security ordered foreign airlines to place armed marshals on selected flights.
