3:11a ~ Goodbye, Cruel World!
This is just a quick note to let you know that XOOM/NBCi has turned into a
bunch of morons. As of the 15th of this month (August), they will no longer
be hosting websites. They're trying to talk people into moving their sites to
HomeStead, but I know that this site deserves better.
I don't know where I'll be moving this site to, so you can check my VidBuddies
page for info on the new location.

3:19p ~ Spoon!!
Spooning NBCi won'tlet me upload anything, so I can't mention that the site
is moving. Spoon-holes. Anyway, if you're here, then you know where my site
is. w00t™.

3:26p ~ Rise from your crave!
OK, this iskinda old news, but since I didn't update my site at all last month...
ROMHacking.Com is back. They're now ROMHacking.Org, as the ROMHacking.Com
domain was snatched up by ROMHack.net.
In other news...
For those of you who care, please sign the WonderSwan Color Petition. I am
Signature #2150.
This petition is to help convince Bandai that they need to bring the WSC to
the West. Of course, the most famous games for it are the Final Fantasy 1, 2,
and 3 remixes, with SNES graphics and sound. As I said when I signed it, it
would be nice to have an option other than Nintendo when it comes to handheld
gaming.
If, like me, you're a fan of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series for the PSX,
but, again, like me, you don't have a PS2, you'll be happy to know that there
are plans to port THPS3 to the PSX. Yay!
Sony messed up again. First, they mess up when stamping the CD's for Final
Fantasy Chronicles, and now they've done it again with the Greatest Hits
re-release of Final Fantasy Tactics. From what I understand, the games won't
boot up in most PS2s, and in about half of the PSX/PSOnes. Ironically, there
are reports that they boot perfectly in emulators... go fig.
Speaking of Final Fantasy Tactics, if you enjoyed the game, and/or, like me
(Again. Getting tired of that? ;)) think it's the best PSX game ever, and
would like to see a Final Fantasy Tactics 2, please sign the Original FFT2
Petition, and the new FFT2 Petition.
And finally (thought this would never come, didn't you?), ScoutBoy has
just updated his comic, Badly Drawn Man. Strip #18 is the latest.

4:40a ~ Off with 'is 'ed!
Oy! OK, I'll admit it. I'm primarily an IE5.0 user. With all the virii spoon
going on, I decided to take Phoenix's advice, and install NS 4.7x to read my
e-mail. On a whim, I decided to check out how certain pages I visit look in
Netscape. For some reason, NS cuts off the entire top of all my pages, and
doesn't show my wallpaper! Oddly enough, it works fine on Acmlm's site, where
I borrowed the layout from in the first place. So, if you use NS, I apologize.
If I find a way to fix it, I will.
Oh yeah, I've also brought back the poll. And there was much rejoicing. Yay.

5:37p ~ Flash! @_@
I've replaced the text links in the nav area to the right with flash thingies.
I've also added a flash button for linking back to me, which you can find on
the Links page. I made the flash stuff for free, at GUIStuff.Com. Of course,
you have to register, but all they require is a user name & pass, and your
first and last name. Everything else is optional, including linking back to
them.
What do you think of this new flash nav system? Vote in the new poll, and/or
post on the message board.
