Happy New Year

Its now 2007 which logically means 2006 is done. Maybe sometime I’ll recap the last year. Right now I’m hanging out, there are lots of things I could be doing and probably should be doing. Being on break it wierd, I’d rather be working somewhere but that isn’t happening so I’ve tried to give myself my own work and todo list. For some reason doing things that I assign myself simply isn’t as motivating as doing things that others assign me. I’ve tried to trick myself into thinking they are being assigned to me but the motivation simply doesn’t exist.

On a different page, I’m now a ChaCha guide. You should check out the site, www.chacha.com, they use an interesting approach to searching, having a guide do the work for you. Its a lot like using the Library and going to a librarian.

Speaking of Library I feel like getting a book, I actually feel like getting a lot of things.

I’d like to acquire a server, dedicated or VPS would be nice. Unfortunately I don’t want to spend more than $5 a month. Yea, I’m cheap.. but I like paying my $2 a month for JNL.. too bad they don’t let me do any command line stuff or installations or even have more than 2 MYSQL databases.

Of course there’s always the server hosted at my friends house, but thats undergoing a very slow upgrade process.

I’m trying to do this server thing because of my latest project. Just like BriSpace was a clone of MySpace…BriSpace will now become a YouTube clone. Well, I plan on doing things differently. The trick is tho, the server. I can’t use php to upload the videos because the max filesize is wayy to low, so I’ll need a server where I can set that filesize or not fill my harddrive quota. I’ve got some interesting ideas, you should check them out at http://www.brispace.net

Of course I’m also working on the Message Board, I’m close and I have a few features left to go, primarily the features that make the entire thing function.

Katies Birthday is next Tuesday. I’m very excited. I messed up her birthday last year, so I’m going to try and improve on it this year. I have a bunch of ideas for her, and I’ve decided I would have a whole lot more ideas if all stores had “self checkout”. And I’m too late to buy online, which stinks because I had a few totally AWSOME plans. I guess there’s always Valentines day, or random gifts. Hrm. I think I’m going to go shopping. I have a gift idea or two in mind. Off to the mall..
