As promised, here's my LiveJournal: http://titegtnodi.livejournal.com/
The next post on here will probably be the full sourcecode to the first release of my IRC Bot, or the full client / server sourcecode of my Minecraft server(s).

Future of This Blog
Okay so I've figured out how I'm going to make this more active. I'm going to have a LiveJournal for random information, tech related mostly (unless you've been friended), and I'm going to have this blog for anything I consider to be "production quality" so finished documents (or beta), finished projects, modules, etc. The other blog however will contain /most/ code snippets I've typed up / am currently using. Expect more posts as this will keep my thoughts more organized, also expect little-no personal information and more technical posts.

Been A While, Updates, Tech Stuff
So it's been a while and just for an update on about the past month you can just go here to see information about my Minecraft server I've been modding and administrating.
Anyways instead of that I've gotten a job a K&N Systems, I'm there right now, they're offering me "projects" where it seems as if I'm working in house which is different than what I'm used to but I'll give it a shot. Usually I'd explain what I'm doing but I've signed an non-disclosure aggrement so sorry about that.
I've begun trying out the Android SDK with Eclipse for Android 1.6. I like it, it's pretty easy to use although the "auto" build doesn't do anything so I turned that off now I just build myself on each run. I noticed that each time you call Toast it queues up each message and even retains the queue after the application is closed, convenient.
I've added quite a bit to my POS software, I wish I was paid more so I could add in better features such as GTK+, proper database conversion, etc. Basically it would be awesome if I could just do a complete re-write. I consider the current revision to be an extremely stable beta.
I'm probably opening an online store soon, I hope it goes over well I've already purchased the domain.

XMas and Contracts
Yes, XMas came and happened, happy holidays. I got stuff, gift cards, clothes, candy, and a cell phone. My girlfriend is back from Winnipeg, I saw my friend Amy whom I haven't seen in around 8 months and I'm sitting next to my friend McLovin whom I haven't seen in a few weeks.
Sounds like I'm looking at getting a fairly large contract or 3 within the next week or so ... it's going to be fun organizing my time around those. I had a business meeting with someone new today (teleconference -.-), it was ... interesting, he wants a mail server and maybe something else, I'm not too sure what I'm making I just know it won't be hard.
With Amy I saw the new Narnia, it wasn't bad though my friend McLovin seems to hate it with a passion. I don't really understand why, maybe it's because I only read the first book which wasn't made into a movie.
I'm gonna have to forensics wipe my laptop soon and secure it. That sucks, waste of time really, but I guess when you're doing security software it's kind of necessary. I have a few ideas as to how I'm going to secure my laptop, I'm also going to be selling the same software hopefully next week to be finished 45 days from Sunday but we'll see how that goes.
I also noticed on the 26th I had a huge spike in readers. They all went to my Wii channel pages. Did people get Wiis for XMas? Should I maybe update my Wii software? A fan already has I think I'll write something about it next post.

Nerdcore and Stuff
Nerdcore hip hop seems to be a sub genre of hip hop however it's name is very misleading. It's shorthanded name is "nerdcore" however I'd argue that the genre itself is mislabeled. "core" generally insinuates that it's a derivative or "sub genre" of the sub genre hardcore however this is not the case. Nerdcore by itself is not done to the style of hardcore at all making it actually "nerd rap". Why "nerdcore" seems to be an official sub genre of hip hop because of the artist MC Frontalot. This bothers be because generally anything labeled "nerd" contains contributes from both geeks and nerds and is generally viewed as intelligent. This however does not seem to be the case for nerdcore, it's a blind following of one artist. A more correct term would be like "nerd rap" or "nerd hip hip", thereby making "nerdcore hip hop" a derivative of both hardcore and hip hop (Which is what's currently implied).
Mind you, I like nerdcore:
Antisoc - 100% Free
MC Chris - Listen to most songs online free
MC Lars - Not free (To my knowledge, don't quote me on that)
In Canada it's now illegal to modify anything you own outside of it's intended use / license. Breaking this law could result in 5-10 years in prison (Since July 1st I believe). We have a lot of rights now don't we (Honestly, what's left)?
I'm a top listener on Rdio now, of this writing I'm in 11th place.
Looks like security software's gonna happen soon, I'm excited.
I'm dating another girl now, she's really awesome, in Winnipeg for the holidays though :/.
