Currently listening to: Iris by Goo Goo Dolls.
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything. I’ve mostly been brain dead with nothing at all to talk about.
I’m up late tonight, can’t sleep, don’t want to. Too bored to actually do anything, which makes me even more bored I guess…
A little bit ago I tried to find some decent chat rooms to meet new people. But I guess they don’t exist anymore. I tried IRC, but nothing there either, just idle rooms.
I miss being able to chat with people. Back in 1998 I thought it was so awesome, and I’d stay up all night chatting, I was only 14 then, but it was cool. I’m very anti-social anymore, but nights like tonight would be cooler to have people to chat with. Snap out of this anti social bubble or whatever that I’m within.
I bought a new domain tonight. Namecheap was having a 99cent sell on domains, so I couldn’t pass that up. Had no idea what to register. I’ve been wanting a domain to put all my old site archives onto, and I saw “Digiterium” some where, so I went ahead and got that name. I was about to get 57uff, ha which is l33t for stuff.
I have Digiterium set up now, but I have to fix the old sites to get them to work. I know I want to archive them as they were, but a lot of links need fixed and corrected, so that might take some time.
I have one of my very first Michael Jackson fan sites semi-working. You can see it at
http://www.digiterium.com/ks/mjj/index44.html
I actually remember making that site. Was in 1998, and was one of my first projects. ha ugly as hell, but was fun. I remember using cooltext.com for the buttons, and was a loyal JASC PaintShop Pro user. 
Webpage stuff was much more fun back then. I’d just build stuff, and have fun. Now it seems like more work. I want to use proper coding and have nice graphics. It was nice using HTML tables, and all that good stuff, ha.
I need to think of ways to promote MadBoard.com. The way I got the MJ forum to be popular years ago was to spam the crap out of other sites, but im too old and lazy to do that now. I think that’s cheap, but maybe I’ll have to resort to that if I want to get it going. I don’t know.
Oh yeah! haven’t posted a screenshot in a while! ha.
Here is a screenshot of my desktop now

Writing this is making me a bit sleepy. So I guess I’ll write again later

Desktop May-27-2010
(click thumbnail for larger image) 
So this is my desktop now. Ha.
Info:
Windows 7 – Ultimate x64
Wallpaper – Made by me, you can download it here.
Windows 7 Shell Theme – Longhorn Evolution X.
* But the start menu icon is provided in this theme pack. Which you can easily change using this tool: Windows Theme Installer. (I guess it installs themes too? I dunno about that, i jus use it to easily replace the explorer.exe, which used to take forever).
Desktop Gadgets – Okay, so this is where it gets complicated. I’ve got rid of everything.
Last time I posted my desktop I was using a program called Rainlendar. I completely got rid of that program, and now use one called Rainmeter. Rainmeter had a cool weather skin that I wanted to use, which i no longer do, but anyways it has much better and cooler themes.
So here are the Rainmeter skins and gadgets now some of these I heavily modified, so they may not look the same, but mostly will:
Weather Gadget: Large Clean Weather
Time, Date, Folders: Speed theme – I changed several icons, and paths.
Hard Drives: 2nd theme – I changed the icon.
Recycle Bin: GlassBin.
woot 
hmm.. yea

So I’m a member of a large tech forum, and we post on screenshots of our desktops. Basically so we can show each other our wallpapers and how we have it all set up. Geeky i know, ha but I decided to go ahead and start posting these on here. might be interesting.

Edit: April 25th 2010:
I thought maybe i should provide more info, ha. Some people on the tech forum asked questions about the wallpaper and weather program, and such, which made me think i should just include it here as well.
You can get the wallpaper here:
http://hipanda1.deviantart.com/art/Sunrise-139015936
time, weather, calendar app is Rainlendar. I’m not too sure where to get the actual skin that im using. It’s always hard for me to find, but as soon as i find it again i’ll post. Alot of people are using it right now so it shouldnt be too hard to find.
edit:
may 6th 2010 – Found it! ha reformated my computer, so i had to search for the skin again. here it is
