< August 14, 2004 > I did a major update, changing the navigation system and giving the site colour. I have changed no content however, but have some new stuff to put up as soon as I fix my server port and/or location problem. Right now I am thinking of having all the http pages hosted on the "ownz-u.com" server and having all the files hosted off my server on port 8080, but well see what happens. As for this current update there are a few minor things I need to finish up, such as giving the pages titles and such. Also I would really like to add some picture icons in various places. Well that's all for now; remember to keep the trance solid and to keep the processor cool.

< July 24, 2004 > Telus, being a money grubbing stupid company, decided to block port 80 a long with a bunch of other ones from their residential high-speed internet users. They claim this is for security reasons, helping stop the spread of viruses that are transmitted through there networks, but I have never seen in my router logs a virus trying to access port 80, though a lot of other non-useful (to me personally) ones. So the real reason they are blocking these ports especially port 80 is to keep people (like myself) from running servers off there internet connection, in the hopes that they will sign up for one of there server packages that comes with a static ip, no ports blocked, and more upload bandwidth. This basically means for me, that either I used a web redirect to port 8080 which I am doing now, but is totally gay, or I have my site hosted some where else, which I don't really like for obvious reasons. Anyways its been a while since I wrote something on the "News" page though I have made some minor changes to the site that is mostly to do with behind the scenes organization. As for me personally, there's not much knew. I just keep working and making money, but I am sort of getting anxious to get back to school.

< June 17, 2004 > Life goes on as we all press on having the sun scorch our brow in these hot weather foes. Okay, so that does make to much sense, but at any rate were having some hotter weather now. Which is good for getting hours for work, but it is deadening to work in. That said, my job is actually going well, and, as I previously said, I am getting a good amount of hours. We got some newbies on our site so the people that I started with and I have sort of moved up the ladder and now take part in laying the new roof as well as deconstructing the old roof. I am not really doing much with this site other than keeping my news section updated cause of being busy with work and all, though I might make a few minor changes on the weekend if I am not working then too.

< June 11, 2004 > Its been raining today so I didn't go to work and its sort of scary to say, but I almost miss going to work. Anyways I have tried to remain productive in my spare time and have been doing some reading. Yes, real reading not just books on MP3, which, I might add, are the best thing since Linux. At any rate, lately, I have been gaining interest in open source software, not really for development sake, but more for the idea it and the people who write it stand for. So just being curious I have been trying a few of the more popular programs for a test drive and in general have been impressed. However, the most impressive piece of software I have tried was the Mozilla web browser. Not only was it faster at loading the pages, generally looks better than IE (Internet Exploiter), but it was as easy, if not easier, to use than IE. I make a very humble suggestion to all you people out there using IE, that would be of course to switch to Mozilla which can be downloaded here. I make no joke when I say it will be worth your time in the long run, plus you can run it along side IE first just to see if you like it, which I am sure you will. 

< June 09, 2004 > Good news for me and from me today. First of all I finished (or almost) the spiral graph program I was working on, and it can be downloaded here, with more information found on my programming page. As for the good new for me today, I just found out that the next few sections of the roof I am working on have non-fiberglass insulation. I actually am being to like my job working with out fiberglass, now all I need is some good cool sunny weather. 

< June 06, 2004 > Been working a lot so I haven't had time to do much work on the site. Before I started working, I made a spiral graph / lissajous figure graphing program that is actually quite good if I do say so myself. I want to add a few more features to it, and then I will be posting a page for it here. As for work, I am surviving, but because the main job site I work on is full of fiberglass; its causing me some lung and skin irritation, even though I wear protection against those things.  I sort of want to quit just because of the health concerns, but I don't want to be a 'quiter' in life, so I will press on and see where I end up.

< May 29, 2004 > My apologies that the server and this site my be running dead slow today, that is due to me downloading a large volume of stuff, which is using my processor time and bandwidth. This should only be a problem for this day alone.

< May 28, 2004 > I had a dream that I remembered vividly last night, so I decided to write it down and now I am posting it here. If you wish to make a guess at its meaning please email me. Please note the names have been changed and I normally wouldn't post something this silly.

It all started with a really pretty girl who was being harassed by a man spraying her with a large volume of water from a car driving along the road. He was passing repeating and would say awfully stuff at this girl. So, I convinced her to get away from that place and come with me to a bus stop, where we were waiting for the bus. After the bus came and we boarded the bus (thought I didn't know where the bus was going and didn't really need to get on it) I sat near the front of the bus, while she sat at the back. I started talking to the bus driver, who was a large over weight female with a very hearty laugh and an oversized smile, about things that are free, like how on Halloween a store gave away a large bag of candy that we estimated cost around 20$. We wondered how the businesses could survive giving away that much stuff. Then I notice this young Asian man, who was slouched over in his seat, two seats down from mine and who had a blue baseball cap on.  As, I looked at him I realized he looked like one of my friends who had gone to china on a trip for the summer. So as I called out his name and he looked up, still looking exactly like my friend, I said in disbelieve "You couldn't possibly be Tan, because he is on the other side of the world." With a few words he managed to convince me that he was really him. So naturally, I questioned his presents here in Canada, getting not much of an answer. So I speculated that things weren't going well over there. As the time past I realized, from the buildings and familiar roads that I was on the 151 bus, which would take me to my house, but it seemed to be past my stop though that did not bother me to much because I could walk from the last station home. So I talked to Tan some more not getting to much information from him. He seemed really sad and I kept wondering why he was over here and even more specifically why he was in Coquitlam since he normally lives in Burnaby. The bus drove on. As silence sets in on the conversation I was having with Tan. I looked again for that girl who was the reason I was on the bus, but I didn't see her though my eyes came across a few more of my friend, old and new, that were somewhat out of place being on that bus. In closing I could see the final station that I was to get off at and then I know I was to walk home from it, though I sort of felt dread in my heart at the though of that. But I know that was the path the pretty girl at the beginning had wanted my to take. End..

< May 25, 2004 > I got hired a while ago at FLYNN Canada LTD. for a roofing project there doing near the Production Way / University skytrain station. Though I haven't actually started the job I know its going to be really manual labor intensive and involve a lot of work and situations very unfamiliar to me, but it looks like a good job, having good pay, being full time, and its a job where I won't be selling crap to people that don't need it. So all in all I am happy but nervous about it. On a non-work related note, I recently got sick, which obviously sucks.

< May 18, 2004 > I am still looking for a job and have also added some for stuff to my site. Such as, I added another link on the downloads page and some other random stuff. I am working on a flash animation--we'll see how that goes. 

< May 15, 2004 > My job interview seemed to go well, but all I can do is hope and pray that I get the job. Today I am helping out with Kids Quake, a children's out reach event at my church, where I will be doing a lesson. I hope my lacking public speaking skills don't hinder my delivery.

< May 13, 2004 > The picture page and a temporary logo has been added. I am considering using frames to make it easier to add new material and content, but I have a slight think against them. As for me I am still looking for work, but I got a job interview, so please pray for me.

< May 10, 2004 > Well my IP address binded, but it has some glitches, that I need to figure out.

< May 10, 2004 > My temporary job working for Signature Accessories in Cosco is over now and I am back to having only a single job. So I am frantically looking for more work. I did finally get a domain name, which is "ownage.ca" unfortunately I haven't had it bind with my internet protocol address yet. Because of this domain change, I think I may change the name of my web site--its only logical. Finally I have made another pictures page, but I haven't linked to it yet, because it needs a bit more work.

< May 05, 2004 > I am going to remove the site map and I am adding some more server system stats that includes thermal sensors, voltages, and fan rpms. Currently I am working in Cosco selling jewelry for Signature Accessories, but because that is only temporary I have been spend a lot of time looking for more work. Finally I think I might buy a domain name, though I cant decide on a good available name. I originally wanted "anti.com" but that was taken, so I am thinking about "antiserver.ca" or "blueroomserver.com". If anyone has a suggestion please email me.

< April 24, 2004 > I added a site map mostly just for search engines to crawl, though I am probably not going to keep it. Also I put on a server information page, which is kind of cool, but needs a bit of work. You can see how much my server really sucks, in regards to hardware.

< April 17, 2004 > The navigation system for the web page is updated and looks good, but makes the over all site look colourless. Not sure what I am going to do.

< April 16, 2004 > I decided to move all of the old news to a page of its own to keep this server front page neat and tidy. I would also like to add a logo soon, but I am not sure what I want exactly. I should add a link to my temp files too and maybe a web log.

< April 05, 2004 > There is nothing else that make me want to commit suicide more than IDIS--enjoy. Chapter IV of the book by Norm Klassen and Jen Zimmermann (A.K.A. Judas and Satan) can be found here: "http://www.nixuz.com:8080/Text/IDIS.pdf" [15 mb]. Sorry this is such a big PDF file but it does work. It is also better if you download it to your computer's hard drive first by RIGHT clicking the link and selecting "Save Target as..."; then just save, download, and open. If you download this for the IDIS 102 book response please pay me 25 cent to cover costs, though this is NOT mandatory. Note: Please email me if you have problems-see the contact tab.

< April 03, 2004 > Just added the beginnings to a links page; I will be periodically adding more links and descriptions. I also will later be moving some older news to a different location. Good luck every one on their up coming finals.

< March 31, 2004 > I have been dreading this day, the last day of March, for a while now; mainly because I had a calculus test worth 40% of my mark and a bloody English research essay due. The day is almost over now and I survived, sort of. I have put a folder on the http server that I will use to put up temporary, random things for downloading that may be of interest to you at http://www.nixuz.com:8080. Soon (meaning when school is over) I want to add a favorite links page with a FEW of the links I recommend. I have an ulterior motive in this also for I hope that by linking to out side sites they will link back to me boosting my search engine rating. One last thing, the server stats isn't running at the moment I hope to fix that soon also. Have a great end of the school year.

< March 07, 2004 > If you are looking for the IDIS documentation it can be found here: http://www.nixuz.com:8080/Text/idis.rar. Note: You need winzip, winrar, or another decompression program to decompress the file.

< March 06, 2004 > I am in the process of a major update. It should be done soon.

< February 22, 2004 > Don't you just love math? Well, even if you answer no, you have to admit math is such a beautiful creation. Now if you don't believe me there check out a small program I wrote, called "XYSINE.EXE" that graphs out Lissajous figures, which are graphs of two wave functions with one on the X axis and one on the Y axis. This produces a graphical design that in my opinion is beautiful. Note, in order for you to be able to see the design yon need to off set the frequency of the waves.

< February 3, 2004 > I decided to give my server cover page a new look. Unfortunately this won't happen much, with being so busy with school. If any of you are from Trinity Western University definitely check out the Trinity Western University Student Forum which is hosted on this server. If you sign up for the forum you have access to down load Maple 8.0.
