Bejeweled Madness

I think I should have titled this entry “Everything and The Kitchen Sink”; so much has been happening lately that I just haven’t been able to sit still long enough to write about it. Let’s see just what have I been up to? Hmmm…

Well, I’ve been happily going through some more of the computer equipment I was given (see earlier posts or not) and getting some of the systems put together, ready for sale. I have to go through all the odd boards to see what processors they can take since I mentioned them to a good friend and he/she (gender witheld for protection purposes) instructed me to tell he/she what I have in case he/she has chips “just lying around.” Eeep! One day I’m calling and mentioning pumpkin pie. I so love pumpkin pie! *grin*

My dad and I have gotten into this little thing I call Bejeweled Madness. See, I first introduced him to the Popcap’s first Bejeweled aka electronic crack and for the first time ever I was bested by the old geezer! Bested? Nay, humiliated. It seems that he’s like Rainman with that stupid game; the best I could do on it was like 50,000 he got up to like 1,400,000 on it! In the history of the computer he’s never gotten more than me in any game, NEVER EVER NEVER EVER! He not only beats me at the freaking thing, he crushed me. Spanked me like I’m a naughty, naughty schoolgirl… err… uhm… well, not like that; he annihilated me. It wouldn’t be so bad if he could stop pointing and laughing at my pathetic score or could spell annihilate. So for ages I plotted my revenge. For ages I planned, pleaded and begged the dark spirits for a way to get even with my progenitor. And finally along came Popcap with their latest incarnation of pure evil, Bejeweled 2. Finally REVENGE WILL BE MINE! Laugh at my pathetic score no more pappa, for now I will be laughing at your sad sad little boy score. HAHAHA! HAHAHAHA! BWAHAHAHAHA!

(pause)

He’s up to 2 million seven hundred forty-thousand five hundred twenty-one points. *sigh* Great. Just freaking great… we’re now full-tilt running and screaming into Bejeweled Madness. Actually I’m having a whole lot of fun with him this time around (future post coming) *tee hee*

I’ve also been doing a massive amount of work on this ole blog o’mine; happily taking a veritable coding wheed-whacker to the sucker. I’ve added some cool new functionality to the code, made a few behind the scenes additions/functions to the admin panels and delved into some cutting-edge, ultra-nifty CSS/PHP code and techniques. Notice anything different yet? Hehehe, that’s what I love about making modifications; the real pleasure is making tons of changes yet keeping the blog looking the same at first glance. Run your little mouse over things and you’ll see the fun I’ve had and the cool changes that are there waiting for you to enjoy! And hey for one of the niftiest things I’ve ever seen, why don’t you drag your mouse over the picture at the top of this post for starters. *Hehehe* Enjoy the new features, look and feel (I sure had a blast with all the changes)! It was hard work and it’s not obvious, which I LOVE! Happy discoveries!
