Crime Library, this website is great. You can read about every serial killer and murder ever in the news. It gives highly detailed accounts of many cases. It is a creation of CourtTV.com. Just go there.
French cinema. I have seen 4 french movies in the past two days and they have all been great. OK so things that get imported to the United States from other countries have a chance to filter out the garbage, and the movies I have seen have probably been through that filter. Anyway, I always liked the french language and I have grown to like it even more through these movies. I think I will study that language next. There was this one movie called The Spanish Apartment it was fucking great. Everyone should see it. They speak french, spanish, german, english in the movie. Fucking great!!! One thing I enjoy about foreign films is the depiction of Americans in them, it is interesting to see the flip side of things every once in a while. Frankly after you get to know a certain people personally or have some experience, ignorant stereotypes aren't funny or even worth thinking about anymore. So such comedy as making fun of other cultures doesn't make any sense to one who knows the true nature of a "community".
ALLAH AKBAR! I am now awaiting a call from the CIA. I got the Blockbuster Movie Pass. $24 per month for unlimited rentals. Two out at a time. I have been going there twice a day since Sunday. Four movies a day. 120 movies a month, well I hope. Almost done the PHP posting engine. I want to add a movie review section. I have so many ideas for this site but so little time. Not to mention the many other websites I am working on. Tomorrow class starts at Villanova. That is all I have to say about that. Anyway back to the movies. I have rented 3 movies with Audrey Tautou in it. Dirty Pretty Things, The Spanish Apartment, God is Great, I'm Not. Solid offerings and well acted by the young frenchwoman. There are one maybe two more movies with her in it that Blockbuster has that I will pickup soon. I bought some epoxy to fix the air intake hose on my car. Says it can withstand temps up to 700 degrees, should work nicely. I really need to finish this website, with all the proper links and whatnot.
Dude, I am a slacker. I haven't updated the site in a few days, pathetic.
Anyway, I got the web statistics working. It turns out that no one is visiting
my site and that the bandwidth transfer numbers are wrong. Still need to
find out why. I used my car this weekend, to go see a movie. The Day After
Tomorrow, it was nothing special, typical summer blockbuster where a lot
of shit gets destroyed. Not a thinking type of movie although it could have
been. Yeah it was bad science but so is pretty much all global warming talk
that you hear of in the media is bad science. Fact is that our computer
models are not complex enough to accurately predict global warming. We can't
even predict the weather all that accurately on a region by region basis.
Really it is just a matter of computer power and models. We understand the
physics and atmospheric interactions. But it happens on such a large scale
with such a huge amount a variables that current technology and methods
are not adequate to make accurate prediction. Remeber the most powerful
computers in the world usually do either one of two things, predict weather
or nuclear explosions. Even these computers are not enough to provide the
type of accuracy scientests dream of.
Tomorrow I will continue walking to the gym. On Wednesday class begins,
I'll probably walk to class too. Hopefully something interesting will happen
now that I have a camera. I am about to start reading Don Quixote. I also
have been playing around with the idea of consumerism dying out in our society.
Seems utterly impossible in todays world, but there may be a way to transition
to a soceity not based on consumerism, but based on progressivism. I have
yet to define progressiveism but that is what I'll call it for now. Basic
idea is that humans live not to attain wealth and power, but to explore
and progress the human civilization. OK so it sound like a utopian fantasy
right? Yeah it does, only because I am not giving you my whole thought.
Benifits will of progressivism will dwarf those of consumerism, lets just
leave it at that for now. Right now, money and power is the reach and it
is usually through progression of mankind that money and power is achieved.
Lets cut out the middle man of money and power, and reach just for progression.
It is a logical way to live, much more than aiming for money and power.
Human's own limited life and societal traditions have made the philosophy
of people shortsighted. I will contiue this is a manifesto section.
Nothing interesting on my daily walk. I will need to use my car tomorrow to go to my grandfather's house and help them setup a computer. But I have went three days without using my car. Yeah it is not much of an accomplishment. I can't focus and have been lacking motivation recently. I need to finish this section of a website but it is going really slow. Things will pickup soon hopefully. I still have yet to figure out why I am getting so much traffic to my site. I must get at least one visitor every minute. I just want to be popular. It is going to suck when I find out that it is some weird error skewing my transfer numbers. I'm so hungry.
There is something weird going on. First my website has appeared in major search engines. I never actually submitted to these search engines but sure enough my site is there. It could happen though. What is even more strange is my website transfer for the past 14 days. The webstats show over 2GBs of transfer in the last 14 days. Who is visiting my site, those who are please contact me at sig@chodabot.com. If you are female please send phone number and a picture along with a list of interests and hobbies. On Monday 5/24/2004 I got almost 20,000 hits to the site, which may translate into 1500 visitors. Some websites I design for e-commerce sites don't get that many visitors per day. Something weird is going on and I plan to find out what that is. For now though it is time to walk to the gym. More updates later today. Unfortunately I just activated my web statistics yesterday so I have no way of knowing who came to the site.
My second day of walking and of course I miss the golden kodak moment. As usual my daily travels took me down Lancaster avenue, to take in the soot, noise and road rage. While walking through a particularly slow section of traffic an irrate Acura driver got out of his car and began to yell at the person behind him. From my vantage all I could tell this person did was honk at him once. Of course being in traffic he couldn't maove and this women's honk was pointless. The only purpose it served was to anger this older bald black dude. "Get out of my life!" replied the black man. At that point if I had my camera a picture would have been taken and all hell would have broken lose. Luckily I am young and spry, while this asshole is old and stuck in traffic. OK so maybe there is some history to the incident that I didn't see, but the man getting out his car to yell did snarl traffic even more, considering only one lane was getting by in a construction zone all I could think of was "look at this nut". No fear though, tonight I will walk to Rite-Aid and pick up a fun-saver, I won't miss showing the world the idiocy of my town again.
Started walking were I need to go today. Walked to the gym and back. Holy fuck that is a long walk. 8 miles round trip ain't no joke. On my way back CHRIST COMPELLED ME to pick-up a Go-Active meal from McDonalds so that I could start off right and get my free stepometer. This piece of trash doesn't even live up to the standards that normally mass produced electronics are made. It works though so I guess it doesn't matter. I am probably doing myself more harm than good walking along lancaster avenue. The dust and smoke that I inhaled must be equal to a pack of cigarettes. Nah probably two packs. Pictures are coming. I finished reading The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stoll. Did it in one 8hr sitting. It was great.
Well, this is my new homepage. A slight redesign but basically the same as before. Still not using PHP and database as a posting engine but soon I will. In an attempt to conserve gas I have decided for the next week to walk all the places I go. Since I am a recluse I don't go very far. Daily gym walk 8 miles roundtrip, Wawa 1 mile roundtrip... that is about it. I basically spend the rest of mine time during the day working on websites or reading some odd book. Just finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo. It was great. Next up is The Cuckoo's Egg something about hacking and whatnot.
