Regarding the SnoFun thing

Rick told me yesterday that Will and he and some other people I guess want to go to seven springs or something for the skiing.  He also told me that Will doesn’t want any newbies along to slow him down.  I can only assume he means me, maybe among others.  Oh well, it doesn’t really matter this year because I don’t have the money for ski-blading anywhere, and even if I did I’d probably fall and hurt myself again.  This would be bad right before my commercial pilot practical test.  I don’t have the money to even afford rent anymore cause we’re still down one roommate!  So who the fuck knows what’s going to happen!?  It’s so awesome!

PHP iCal + Gallery

http://darkmercury.net/cal.php
http://darkmercury.net/gallery.php

Beta of the php icalendar feature.  As of this moment, it is using a default calendar, and not any of my stuff.  I put it in an iframe, and it doesn’t look that great.  I’m playing with it, may scrap it.  who knows.  Any feedback is welcome.

Edit 9:26pm: I added my current schedule as far as I know it through Spring Semester.  iCal is supposed to automatically synch it to the web, but right now that’s not happening.  It still looks pretty right now, even though it’s a hassle to update.  I’ll keep working on it.

Edit 12:17 next day: Added photo gallery using the same iframe javascript for testing purposes.

Edit 11:34: Added Flight Team Photos (ones you havent seen yet) to the gallery.  It’s actually worth a look!  Really cool.  In no paticular order.

A little busy?  School Sucks

I know I complain a lot about how I have so much work to do all the time but with my senior year coming to an end and almost being finished with everything, all I do these days is work.  Well, that’s what I should be doing.  What I’m really doing is playing Q3 and watching anime. 

Let’s start off with Aviation Law and Safety.  I was assigned to a group of 4 a while back, assigned a court case 199 US 194(i think), and an ambigous due date (sometime next week).  As of yet, our group has not fully met and of course it’s me who’s emailing everybody trying to get their lazy asses to the library to meet.  It may even be due Thursday.  Not sure.  Good thing there is no paper or I’d be doing that for everyone.  15 min presentation for this, google doesn’t give any more information than the actual case summary, which is written in legal speak, and even there doesn’t say much.

Next will be Physiology and Human Factors in Flight.  3-6 page paper and 15 min presentation.  Would be doing lots of work on this if I knew what my topic would be.  Totally can’t think of one.  Human factors is boring.

Applied Transport Category Aircraft Systems.  8-10 page paper and 20 min presentation on the Dehaviland Comet.  That won’t be too hard if I actually get moving on it.  Severe lack of motivation at the moment though.  Both this and Human Factors are due around Dec 7-9.  Not exactly sure.

Commercial 3 flying:  Almost ready for my Commercial checkride.  5 hours of fun that day, whenever that is.  It depends on the weather.  Very nervous about that.  I need to have it done before next semester or I’ll get behind again.  I’ve only just barely caught up.

Continental Express Internship:  I’ve gotten most everything I need to turn this in Feburary.  It’s about the only thing I’m not severely behind in.

And then the week after all this is due: IT’S FINALS TIME can’t wait.

Website Testing

I’ve been playing around with my website lately.  Trying to make things a lot more standard and add a bunch new features.  A few things are obvious like the gigantic eclipse to the right, and some things are not as obvious, such as the restructured header at the top.  I added my post about the UT2k4 tourney to the features section because it was just too good to be a normal post where it would never be read again.  Tell me what you think of what I’ve done, or maybe what you’d like to see.  I always enjoy comments.
