Craving Multi-Player

I miss gaming sometimes - WoW is nice, but the downside to it is even after a $50 purchase, your stuck with a monthly - the Wii is nice, and I enjoy playing the games I have, but I’d love me some multi-player, I played some Halo3 the other night and it was indeed fun, heck I’d almost say I am used to the 360’s controllers, but thus far not to it’s price.

Just keep trying to find ways to relax/unwind but also have some level of interaction, because as it stands, no one is usually up for my randomness, not because it’s not fun ideas, it’s just that movie theaters are closed at 3am, and everyone else is usually asleep ;) so I am leaning towards saving up for a 360, sure sure, I could put it on a card, but I want to just be done with cards again, just have everything paid off, and a place - I’d really trade a gaming life for a place to call my own.

Anywhoo - day 3 of FH specials, and things seem to be going slow, I see traffic poking thru, but as compared to years past, I don’t have that same “Youth” group who did my marketing for me by posting banners and what not, but my hope is that with more billing system upgrades the Affiliate system will become viable, as I’d love to reward folks, while the system is built for “Payout” I want to make it into “Credit” and apply it to folks accounts, so if someone was to stay busy enough, and could pull in valid referrals they could save up monthly savings or free months, but it’s a dream.

Apache2 + PHP5 is right around the corner, had a 17 minute blip as I recompiled on Bubs, but I am going to schedule a nightly roll out for next week, and I am going to re-install with PHP4 & PHP5, leaving PHP4 as the default, but give folks the option to utilize PHP5 should they want to start merging that way now, but so far most main-stream apps work without issue, so hopefully that trend will continue.

Anywhoo - I am going to go zone out in front of the TV, a busy day, but I am trying to stay positive, and trying to stay awake so I can fall asleep tonight and not have another 7am bedtime. Ah life.

PHP Work… yay?

So the day hasn’t really gone as planned, seems they rarely do, so this afternoon, and I am sure into the evening short of someone calling me to goto dinner somewhere else, I’ll be tinkering in PHP, two projects I am going to toy with, one is a paid projects I have gone slow on, I think I am just going to finish it and be done with it over the next few days, the other is a CMS, going to re-vamp the old system I wrote for a few clients, and tune it up for a larger-scale application.

I want to get out of the house tomorrow and do some photography weather willing, with the recent rains, some things are green, so might be nice to journey up the hill, was thinking of going to Lake Isabella - goto Ming all the time (easy drive) but the big lake is up the mountain on a 2 lane road, so its a little more of a stressful drive at some level, but who knows - it could be fun!

Anywhoo - just wanted to breathe for a moment why I was waiting for PHP to re-compile - take care all, remember My Name is Earl returns tonight, FREE EARL!
