Way to go Danica!

Danica Patrick finaly won her first race! Woohoo! In Japan, at the Twin Ring Motegi racetrack, she outran everyone else and had more than a five second lead over the second place driver to cap her first win of her IRL career. This is great news, and it’s a big deal in Auto Racing and [...]

PDX to SLC

I flew a return flight from Portland, Oregon (KPDX) to Salt Lake City, Utah (KSLC) last night… first time I’ve flown in more than a month. Flight wasn’t too bad, there were lots of clouds and as a result a lot of turbulence, which necessitated me requiring the pax to keep their seatbelts on… which [...]

Online Racing… I guess not

Well, after checking and hunting and hunting some more for online racing series that catered to my available time slot (after 8:00pm PST), I was only able to find the two I’ve mentioned before – Late Night Racing Series, and Serious Racers Only.  I emailed the admins of each series with some questions, and sat [...]

Well… here in my new home

Since I lost my hosting service due to insufficient funds to support it, my good friend has allowed me to move my blog here to his service in the meantime until I can get a new hosting service to put this thing on… and I really appreciate his help.  Being without a bit of web [...]

NASCAR Racing 2003 – a reinstall

Well I decided that I’m going to need to completely re-install NASCAR Racing 2003 Season on my system if I plan on racing online… I’ve copied the same install folder to and fro from my Windows installation for almost three years now, and due to the copy process the registry settings required to allow new [...]

Texas Motor Speedway

I’ve been struggling with trying to paint a good design on my #33 nVidia car, and haven’t had much luck. I’m really not all that good with geometric designs unfortunately, I can create and modify text and numbers and standard graphics really well, but geometric designs I just don’t have the knack of. As a [...]

More Theme updates – hopefully, the last

By all that is HOLY. So, for the last few days I’m thinking I got all my theme related issues regarding my links on the right menu bar (under the category headings) fixed. Been posting a few things here and there, making a few edits, etc. Then, today, I happened to click on a link [...]

WoW!!!

Well, I got online over the weekend on the days when I felt good enough to sit for a spell and play. I mostly simply messed around with Kelanthir, and got him leveled up to 46th level, and about halfway through that before stopping. I got a few good items through the questing time that [...]

NASCAR Racing and my new ride

I’ve started getting the NASCAR bug again since the start of the season. I only missed the Martinsville race so far, but they’ve all been great races… and Carl Edwards is just flat owning the track. Were it not for that (bullshit, in my opinion) penalty that the NASCAR officials docked his team for at [...]

Ugh. I hate being sick.

So I ended up with some kind of crap throughout the weekend. Started on Wednesday last week, I was feeling funny late in the afternoon and evening. Then I woke up Thursday with a sore throat. I figured that it would go away throughout the day… but no luck. Friday I woke up with the [...]

Hallelujah!!

Sometimes you actually get tech support that makes you very happy. I’ve been in contact with my old host provider, trying to see if I can get my database data recovered for my blog (as you can see the issues I’ve had in the previous blog entries). Through a few days here and there we [...]

Progress. Sometimes, it blows

So, I’ve been looking through the code of the themes I’ve created based on the Dimension2K theme by evilBert (i.e., my Aviation, EVE Online, and World of Warcraft edits), and after messing with all the menu stuff as I indicated earlier I got the menus to function the way I wanted… and to look the [...]

Oh, and I almost forgot…

I should be able to actually salvage the timestamp of the old data I can retreive, which means that all those old posts will actually have the correct date and time they were posted. That will be nice… but we’ll see. Furthermore, I just realized that my calendar heading is screwed… so that’s yet one [...]

Well… this sucks

Like, totaly sucks. Due to financial reasons I was unable to keep my old hosting provider and had to let my account expire. However, due to a major brain fart on my stupid asses end, I deleted the backups of the database exports I’d made a week ago. What the hell was I thinking? So, [...]
