This is funny...

A recent email reminded me about this. Yes, that's me in the picture. I had signed up for it when my Intro to Acting teacher mentioned to the class that they needed volunteers. Of the 7 or so that signed up, I was the only one that showed. That poor girl standing next to me was picked in Torg when the person in charge got tired of waiting for the others.

Thursday was busy. Busy day at lab, computer for sister arrived, Mom going nuts over outdated, broken software...it's enough to give a CS-major-cum-family-tech-support-person a nervous breakdown (especially after mom gets pissed after I ignored her subtle hints that her system wasn't working -- if she needed some help, she should ask for it). Ah well, Tech is approaching...

Da Friday Five

How much time do you spend online?
About 7 hours a day, on average.

What is your browser homepage set to?
http://texturizer.net/firebird right now. But I typically set it to a blank page.

Do you use any instant messaging programs? If so, which one(s)?
I use Trillian Pro. My primary IM medium is AIM, but I also have ICQ and Yahoo accounts. I absolutely refuse to touch M$ MESSenger. Yahoo bugs me a bit as well, because people I don't know typically IM me asking for A/S/L. I'm curious about Jabber, especially since Trillian Pro 2.0 has support for it. If I find a good server, I may set up an account.

Where was your first webpage located?
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Bunker/1438. I left it sometime in 2000 -- mainly, because I was exceeding my disk space limit, but it had started to be corrupted by Yahoo around that time as well. The page now points to the pointer to the webspace given to me by a good friend of mine. I'm thinkning of starting a personal website, devoted to myself and my works. I may start to poke around to find a decent host soon.

How long have you had your current website?
Technically? About 5 years now. I don't do much with it these days, considering it was designed to house media for two different video games. Now that that purpose has been fulfilled, I'm not sure what else to do with it.
