intendo has come to my attention that the company is going to release "The Ulitmate Collection" sometime later this year.  This is extremely interesting to me since N64 games including Star Fox, Goldeneye, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, Orcania of Time, and Banjo Kazooie. No these games won't feature great graphics, but they'll feature other enhancements that were bugs in the orginal N64 games. No such news. We know that Orcania of Time was released earlier this year. Now that game is becoming appart of the Ultimate Editition Collection. All these games will start at 25 dollars. It might me a long run, but Orcania of time could sell 500,000 copies added the 2 million it sold in 1998. Is this worth the dollar when you have the Nintendo 64 game already at home? I'll let you decide.

Guess what everyone. I got an Xbox today. I was excited for a little while. I got one with a modem in it. I was looking for a web browser but their isn't any for Xbox yet. So I also got 2 new games, used copies of Sega GT 2002 / Jet Grid Radio and Project Gundam. I am going to get Halo soon. I've heard it's an amazing game. Read my Xbox Review page. I've also updated my Dreamcast review page. I added Nintendo to the Greatest Developers of all time.

What do I really want to spend my money on? I am having money come in from offerings my parents give me on Lunch money for school. I do usually spend that cash on games. My latest xbox game Moto GP, I got for 14 dollars at the used videogame store. I am looking for more xbox games. Or do I want to reinsert a soundcard into my other pc. It got zapped with static electricity. That would only cost me 20 dollars to replace it. Or do I wait a little longer and get a Action Replay for Xbox. With that I can download saved videogames off the Internet and put it on xbox with use of network cable linking the xbox with my hub to my pc.

This week is my last week of high school. What do I do then? To answer that question, I don't know. Well I'm planning to go to a technical college in New Richmond, Wisconsin to see if I can find a CISCO class to continue being educated toward Unix Software Technican. CISCO is a company, I knew it was a network service that most Unix technicians have to learn before they enter a work placement. So CISCO and SUN Microsystems go head to head with each other to provide the best product. I think SUN is winning. Because they have copyrighted their own javascript called "Sun Java" and then SUN has the Solaris Operating System. So maybe when I get a job there. The world is full of opportunity. then When you loose your job from inflation, your life is then suppose to suck, because those companies are looking for inexperienced unix technicians with good GPA scores. These young adults pick up on more and do more for less money then most of the high positions. But a lot of times the lowest positions is the backbone of the company. The companies running software, like Redhat, look for new talent, which not everybody has. I'm not going to be those people with no talent.

'm working on a flash animations through Swish! again. Finding templates off the web that you can edit has become rare. I am without any good animations. Except for the one that I already have. I was looking for a high tech banner. However I found a program called MixFX and this program unlike counterparts makes decent images with the speical effects it has with it. Two days ago I've downloading both Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 and Selteco BannerShop Animator 3.0. Both are state-of-the-art image editors. PSP8 has add-on packages that are big in size. I don't know when I'm going to download them, but I will eventually. I've updated the cracks.zip too. I added my class pic to the gallery. Sorry about the low resolution. I had to make it small enough so people could download it within 2 minutes.

I made some changes to the html script today

 

Here is a list of Linux websites that have public access file transfer protical (PCFTP) All college servers have free downloads of games / software for Linux. It is directly off a college surver. Which means that you can add your own files to it. All open up in your browser window :

I found this awesome Anime page by "Wings of Trinity" Something about the html that has been bothering me. It looks nice, but all the photoshop animation is much more superior then mine. What's up with the audio soundtrack? How did she get it so compressed? I haven't search for fan art for a long while. I forgot how good it's gotten. I've also been at IcyBrians.com. All the good artists in the world have drawn spectacular cartoons on the Internet. His collection is pretty good.

y second project absolutely done at the University Check it out here. I'm done cramming all work I had yet to do before the Linux program was done for the year. It was cut. People must hate programmers at that school. Everyone must think we're not doing anything. Eating donuts, not caring much about worksheets in class. WE'RE PROGRAMMERS, WE DON'T CARE, WE DON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS WE'RE TOLD TO DO IT! We learned mostly about how to come up with good shell script on how to ping each other. When that failed to work, we just used the GUI. When your in a large classroom, nothing is going to work. Jerry didn't count that against the class. Jerry is our Unix guy. He has over 25 years of experience in shell scripting. I paid attention in class. I'm not like the others. I had my graduation ceremony. I going to graduate from high school at least.

New vistors must of seen the enhancements I've done. Like the green and blue marble backgrounds. I came across these while surfing the Internet for backgrounds and they were perfect for my webpage then having a white background. Transparent Flash has came out this year. I knew it exsists but I couldn't find a sample until today. I'll never put my background in Selteco Flash Designer again. Flash animation + background image = compressed animation (25 KB) instead of 103 KB I would have had if I included the background with the swf. Isn't new technolegy great!

I found a way to connect to the Internet through SuSe Linux. I bought a somewhat expensive external modem, Modem Blaster from Creative, it worked. It hooked up to my serial port. I recently had a US Robotics 56K PCI FAx Modem. The USR never showed up until I attached the external modem to the computer. Then it showed up. I used YaST to connect to my ISP. Then the USR modem does work in SuSe and I've spent a lot of extra money for nothing.

I found a game that copies the card dealing games in Final Fantasy 8 called Questra RPG Legends. I don't know why they called it that? Anyway it's the same game in FF8. I've been playing it. It's not good enough to put on my game list though. I get beaten most of the time merely because I loose a Diablo right way. Diablo is a good card in this game.

haven't finished de-bugged this website yet. I know what I'll do I'll send a popup message saying you can't read this page in Netscape to warn users of errors. This website looks fine in Internet Explorer but some images haven't shown up in Netscape. Odd, but it shows up on Mozilla and Konqueror in Linux? Is that right? I am about to fix that sometime this weekend. I've added my SuSe Linux 8.2 Impressions to the Editorials page. This week is the last week of Intro to Unix college course. So I must hurry up with my source code and get it handed in before too long. At school I minded my own business. I'm thinking that should stop. I think I got to get out and talk to some people. Hmm what to say. I could talk about Linux all day but no one would care, besides I dont' know enough about Linux to appeal to even shell scripting students. Damn, I get lonely. I am always so glad I get home from school from the college. Not really to go to sleep, but get food in my stomach. I have really been going light on food when at school. For what you ask.  A stupid game? I much rather spend my money on videogames then food.  I was looking at that Nascar Thunder 2003 for Gamecube, honestly.

ome interesting Metal Gear Solid sequel news : Komani asked Silicon Knights to make "Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes" exclusive for Gamecube. All I know is MGS2 was a top game for Playstation 2. The new game is suppose to look the same or better then the xbox version of MGS2. The new Sonic game is coming to gamecube, Sonic Adventure Directors Cut. I have the Dreamcast version 1.1 of Sonic Adventure. I've played it and the game was ok. But now I learned that Sonic Adventure DX also includes all the Gamegear titles to boot.

I took my road test the first time and passed. It's a good feeling to have that out of the way. Now I can go where ever I need too. Finally the day has come.
