[ritchie's weblog, just read the blog]: syntax error line:10

April 30, 2000

Well well well, It seems like my last post didn't go through, so I'll just rewrite it again. If you guys voted on this poll,

  • Victor, 12.5%
  • Irene, 31.25%
  • Melo, 43.75%
  • Paulo, 12.5%


Everyone will be glad to know that I did get Melo, even though it was totally by surprise. Hey he just ran into our base, what was I supposed to do. I'm scared of his gun! I didn't see Irene, Victor was just all over the place (and did hit me once), and Paulo.... well I don't even know where the heck he was. I played pretty good today, just ran around and bunkered people down, flanked and gave cover to my team mates. It was pretty good over all.

Well, I'm going to have to cut this short because I still have to do laundry and all that junk :)

April 29, 2000

Ok, 3:00 am and I'm on the computer what a geek!!! Well, Victor is here keeping me company email him and tell him what a good friend he is.

We're going paintballing again on sunday, and I forgot the digital camera. Since, I got rocked by Victor last time. This time I'm not going to make a hitlist. I'll let you, the reader decide on who my target will be. Check here.

So yea, I'm home and I'm going to sleep. night night

does it show that i really wanna go home?
I don't know if its because its friday, I haven't had any sleep or the fact that hanging around my friends gets me brain dead. I finally figured out what was wrong with the poll, rest assured that it will be fixed today when I get home.

ohh noo.... for my friends
Ok, frustrated like crazy!!! I still don't know what the heck is going on with this poll. I must've spend 2 hours working on it last night. I can't seem to get the pop up window to refresh the page that popped it up. if anyone of you javascript gurus know whats happening here please help me out. See on my machine @ work I'm getting an error, but @ home I'm not, seeing that they're both IE 5 machines. I still don't know what'll happen in Netscape. Maybe you people that read my blog can let me know.

And you know what else is weird? It works on this page (@ work) but its exactly the same tags.

If anyone wants to cheer me up, voice mail me (1-888-561-3102 mailbox# 1126), drop me an email or how about writing about me in your blog?

April 27, 2000

ok heres how my morning went:

*wakes up @ 6 am

Ritchie's Brain: Go Sleep!!! *dead caveman voice

Ritchie: Gotta get up, shower, eat, then go to work *still sleepy voice

Ritchie's Brain: NO, Go Sleep!! *caveman voice

Ritchie: *struggling to move out of the bed* Got to get to work!!!

After this I guess my brain just decided to black out and sleep again, I woke up 30 mintues later like a zombie dragging myself to the shower. Eventually, ending up at work.

April 26, 2000

I've jumped on the bandwagon, if anyone would like to leave me a voice mail message to cheer me up heres how.

1-888-561-3102 and my mail box # 1126

I haven't been myself, I guess its just one of those things that you have to go through. I'm just glad I have somewhere to vent on (this site). I'll be releasing, a new article soon as well on BoogieNet.Shameless site plug.

Thanks to all the email I got (I must be really depressed, I'm getting dilusional).

April 25, 2000

Hello, hello, hello, still in hell but still blogging. Too many things going on in my life, I sometimes don't know how to handle it. So I find technically challenging things to do. Today, I was looking at blogger and I saw the recently updated sites. I was totally baffled and I TOTALLY wanted one to display on my site (this is how I get my kicks). I found out that they do have something like this, but its in xml!!! Oh well, its still a text file, so off I go figuring this dilemma.

I went and downloaded AspHttp. Taking the xml feed and doing some parsing of the url string and the name of the blog. I managed to do it!!

please be my beta testers?

April 24, 2000

Stressful couple of days, too many things going on at the same time, thank God and my friends for helping me get through it all.

<!-- Note to Readers //-->
Lots of things have been happening with me lately so please be patient

A bunch of my friends came over yesterday, thats why I didn't have an entry on this blog. To those regular readers (all 2 of you, kidding) I will have an update to this site. I just have to say, 6 guys with nothing to do can result in some funny webcam pictures and some really weird wav files.

Well, I have to go head out to my parents place and go to church,

HAPPY EASTER

!!!

April 21, 2000

Well, Good Friday - Long Weekend and I'm still buring my nose infront of a computer. I was just bugging me that the index of the photoalbum page of this site wasn't completed yet.... until now. I'm not sure if the scripting works for the dhtml stuff. I had to review and was still sleepy so its still a bit wonky. I also don't have Netscape installed in here so I don't even know if it works in netscape. Sucks to be me, but if all you netscape people can email me if it does or doesn't I can appreciate it.

Ok, now 3 more things to do, then I can relax.

April 20, 2000

Version 2 of my Photo Album script is out and in testing. Please test it out, and let me know what you think.

For all the techies out there, it uses the filesystemobject to read the folder, no database or anything like that just drop the pictures in a sub-folder and voila!
And I got my FIRST link from another blog!! Thanks Zannah. Now I'm closer to taking over the world!

We just can't get rid of that era where bellbottoms and lava lamps ruled eh?

April 19, 2000

I'm in a better mood now, but aren't we all since the week has already started (actually, in the middle already). But to all the people out there who cares, I've been dog-sitting my friend Katz's dog, and test driving if I want to get my own. Chewy is his name and here is his album.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

<!-- Begin Whining //-->

Ok, I'm tried tuesday sucks even more than monday, I locked my keys in my car, I forgot to buy bird seed for 'Coke' yesterday. The song that I found yesterday wasn't sung by the right person, just one of those remixed versions by another artist.

I'm tired, sleepy and need coffee!

<!-- End Whining //-->

To all the Kids in the Hall fans..... remember this?
131 Borderline Brilliance

bloggerized from SwallowingTacks
TBIM (Too Bad Its Monday)

Adding to this loooong saga of Macapinlac.Com, Its still down, after promising to be back by April 1, then April 10 now since the 10th, they said that they will be back shortly.

April 14, 2000

You go girl!!! I totally get this!!
TGIF, Its Friday the end of the work week!! whoohooo!

I'm still half and half about getting a dog, and if I get a dog where do I get it from. My friend is offering for me to adopt her dog, on a week by week basis. I want to try that out, but eventually I want to get my own. Question is to get it from a breeder or from the pound. I do want to get if from the pound because I feel sorry for the dogs there (plus its cheap). But, I want to get a beagle or one of those hotdog dogs. Oh well, only time will tell.

Why do girlfriends have to be soo hard to please? Its my dog and my bird I'll take care of it. :(

April 13, 2000

Well, I didn't get to accomplish anything tonight due to the fact that I fell asleep in the afternoon. I'm doing laundry though so I guess its not such a bad thing. Hopefully I can call my mom to help me out with my quicken stuff, pay my bills online and well I don't have a vaccum so I can't do that. So I guess my day wasn't such a complete waste.

I really like getting email and people signing my guestbook. Wrote the whole thing myself too.
This is just the CUTEST!!!
Things to remember:
  1. Pay Bills
  2. Grocery Shopping
  3. Pay Loans
  4. Vaccum
  5. Laundry
  6. Quicken Stuff
  7. Cry about how much money you spent
totally useless fact, excel is the only microsoft product that when you cut, the text doesn't disappear.
Tired like crazy, but still @ work.

But I still managed to create my own super hero. Manga Cyborg, able to leap tall mango trees in a single bound, and flying around in his Manga Balloon, with the pesticide powers of Insect Control, vowing to dedicate his powers for good after being bitten by an Extra Terrestrial Mutant
I finally figured out how to embarass myself on the net.

Not only can I keep my journal, I can recollect traumatic (but funny) memories of my childhood.

April 12, 2000

Finally, I got http://www.macapinlac.com, that didn't really take that long, a day at the most. Unlike some people who takes weeks, and didn't even let me know that my order wasn't in the queue. Hopefully by the end of this week this site will be moved over there, and this will be my development site.

Like I said before, my blogs aren't that interesting to anyone but me, and I "try" to be interesting as possible. On a totally different brain wave, I want more domains. I wish I was a graphics person, so this site would be visually interesting like this one.

I was reading this. *thought to myself: "who came has the time to track down these people?"

Totally Useless Fact: Danny Pintauro, playing some gay character in broadway, former cute kid on "Who's the Boss"

During my days surfing the net I've never seen such a bad sales pitch as this.
"You could hand it to your friend or client and say, " Thanks a million". Just imagine the look on their faces!"

April 10, 2000

All I can say is, Frustrating!!! I applied here 3 weeks ago to get http://www.macapinlac.com online (my last name). Finally, after weeks of waiting I called them to see how my application was being processed, and I wasn't even in their records. I swear, if they charge my credit card with their 20 dollars, I'll scream!!

To make a long story short, I told them to take me out (just in case, my name was on their list) and registered here. A little bit more expensive, but looks ok.

Hopefully soon, I can move this whole site off here to the new domain.
When I see a website like this, I start thinking how the world influences people's views on themselves. The affect that can have on a person can be really devistating.

On a totally different note, Wear your Computer.

Cheesiest commercial, that I've ever seen.

Stage mothers start killing spree, I can totally see how some mothers are with their kids.

Resurrection, this was a favorite show of mine, until it turned to reruns @ ytv

We can send machines to the moon, invent micro-robots that repair the human body, but none will top this feat.

April 9, 2000

I'm back home now, resting and contemplating if it was actually a good day.
To let everyone know, I just got home from paintballing, and yes I did bring the digital camera so you guys can take a look at the pictures. As of today, the design of the page looks like this one but that'll change soon.
The day didn't go exactly as expected, when we got there, people were there already (people who already booked the place). So we all waited patiently to play, It was a looooooong wait (6 hours), which was probably more tiring than the actual game of paintball that we played.

I didn't quite get to go through the people in my hitlist because:
  1. Victor, was faster and better than I thought and maybe the equiptment did help out (but I leared a lot from him)
  2. Never saw Abbie
  3. Jemma, dang man.... pretty good @ hiding
to janice, sorry for pegging you off

So looking back, we didn't exactly get what we wanted.... but I did learn a lot about paintball. For example:
  • When you see Victor, run away....unless he's on your team. Thank God that I switched teams eh?
  • Flanking is cool, Mercy killing is cool AND being flanked and mercy killed is NOT cool Melo!!!
  • Never get shot pointblank! This one is actually from observation, ANDREW & PETER!!!
So there you have it, my whole paintballing day in 1000 words or less.

April 8, 2000

PaintBall Day!!!!


*I'll bring the camera, so everyone can see

April 7, 2000

April 6, 2000

I never realized that there are soo many people that affected me to this date. (maybe if I list them down, I can keep up with the length of the right column) *smile*

On a totally different note, things to keep you sane and drive other people nuts, just some examples:
  • At lunch time, sit in your parked car and point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
  • Insist that your e mail address is:Xena-goddess-of-fire@companyname.com or Elvis-the-King@companyname.com
I'm not sure if I've posted this before or not, so too bad for you.
Since Blogger is going down, I guess I have to do my update to this blog now.

Nothing really to tell, this weekend is paintball weekend all the "good" paintball players are coming out to play. Really excited, this is the first time I'm going with this much people, there must be 50-60 people going. I'm just not sure if my physique can handle it, I haven't had exercise in years (actually, its not that bad. More like months).

Now lets see, I see people have been reading that right side more than my blogs. So just to get something interesting here for my friends. Here are the people on my hitlist (as you can see there are 4):
  1. Abigale - your gonna get hit soo bad that you'll be tasting paint for a week
  2. Victor - all I can say is: having your own gun, your own goggles, your own camoflage gear won't help..... well maybe a little
  3. Jemma - just because
  4. Janice - ok ms. cocky, bring it on!! I'll take you out soo bad, don't even bother bringing money for your next hundred rounds, you won't get to shoot anything
So there you have it my little hitlist, I might update this tomorrow if I get the chance, I might add some more.

* I'm not really that good at paintball, I'm just really really cocky about it :) (too bad theres no skills to back it up)

April 5, 2000

I wonder if all the other cool webloggers ever look back at their posts and think, why the heck did I write that? What was I thinking? A perfect example, was yesterday, what the heck came over me?!

Now I know that a lot of people use an iMac, but this commercial was just too funny to NOT be blogged.

* I can't believe that I'm updating this in the morning

Sleeping in sucks!

April 4, 2000

Ritchie: update your blog now....
Ritchie's Brain: later, i'll think of something when we get home.
Ritchie: no, do it before we leave work, so people will read it and think your an interesting person.
Ritchie's Brain: no!!, LATER
Ritchie: now!!!!

April 3, 2000

You guys know what sucks? Staying awake because you think that 2:30am is only 1:30am because of daylight savings time, then forgetting that, waking up at 5:30 am, means that you're really waking up at 4:30 am. I swear that sucks!

All of my friends know that I'm a sucker for sappy stories that either makes you smile or sparks an emotion inside. If your like me, then Chicken Soup for the Soul is the perfect site for you. I was reading the story today and it totaly picked up my day and made me realize that there can be other problems in life thats worse than mine :) so I woke up

Just wondering if anyone reads my blogs, can some one email me and tell me what that checkbox at the bottom is for?
Yup, I'm awake @ 1:23 am, I have work tomorrow, yes and I'm worried about my weekly budget. But I still find time to look at crazy sites, for example this one.
