So I've been making some moves. Tonite, I finished my first paid gig as a DJ. Things went really good. I enjoyed it a lot and will probably in the short future invest in some DJ equipment. I also re-created another rss reader that I plan to incorporate into a new website I am currently building.

This rss reader is actually pulling the rss feed from this blog, it would be kind of redundant to put it here, but it will serve a good purpose on my site, as I like blogging here on myspace, but want to incorporate my feed in my site, so this is my solution.

I would like to give thanks to the tutorial I found @ http://www.thegoldenmean.com/technique/rssReader01.html and all the help the creator gave me, thank you. I found the tutorial extremely helpful and learned a lot from it. If anyone is interested in flash and learning some XML, this is a great start.

My moms would often remind me when I was younger to humbly thyself. She is a real religious woman of god who distilled in all her kids some good values and morals. Although some people (you know who you are) think my morals are f**ked up, that another story. For whatever reason, lately I have been extremely irritable and it seems like everyday I can't get enough sleep, and when I do wake up, I'm always waking up on the wrong side of the bed. But I finally feel a lil better, after reminiscing with an old ponta, cuz one of my old pontas hit me up from waaaaay back when I use to stay in Frisco on here, which was cool.

What also made me feel a lil better was thinking about how my moms would tell me how to humble myself and just deal with things. I think what I'm going through is a real humbling experience, after graduating I expected so much more, instead I'm faced with hella problems, rather than being able to to what I thought I would be doing. But after thinking long and hard, I guess it best for me, what don't kill me will only make me stronger.

So what been going down, a lot of relaxing music for one, so when you stressed, some music I suggest that is calming and relaxing is

(Looks like I spend a lot of time at okayplayer.com huh)

Those are just a few I been bumping this week. And for anyone interested, I did another article for seaspot.com a few weeks ago, hopefully it will get printed in the magazine, it already on the site, you can read it here. I haven't gotten a chance to pick up a copy, but if you in the Seattle / Tacoma area, mos def pick up a seaspot magazine, check locations here. Let me know what you think of my work, and my musical selection.

What a waste of a weekend, I tried to do a lot, but really got nothing accomplished. I hate the feeling when you try to figure something out and never do. Among other things, one thing I was trying to do and didn't finish was how to write a rss reader in flash, although I already written a rss reader, I'm trying to make this one and incorporate it in a new web page design I have created, and I've hit a real road block.

But the resource I was using has exactly what I needed, although it is very complicated. I have one problem with the code that, I cannot move the rssProxy.php to another location, it makes flash commit some kind of error and I cannot figure out how to correct it.

Thanks to my roommate I've re-design my PC to look just like an apple thanks to these pages, so if your interested I highly suggest you check out the following pages.

Windows to Mac emulation page - everything you need you can find on this page to go from Windows to Mac without switching OS

Konfabulator - Cool widget program that adds flavor to your PC.

RKLauncher - Cool program launcher program.

Ughhhhhhhhhh. Man so many things I wanna get on here and express, I just don't be having time. Workin, workin workin. But I got a quick minute now so let me say a few things. First, I can't believe what happen to one of my fav groups right now, little brother. I'm not gone give the specifics, just know it crazy what BET did. Read about it here.

On another note, I finally picked up my sidekick. I thought about developing some applications for the sidekick, which is basically ran on an OS (Operating System) that uses Java. That means you can write applications for the sidekick in Java. I found out in the last two days, that I simply don't have the time to learn / write any programs at all. So that was cut short, very short. One thing that really pisses me off about the sidekick is that it does not support JavaScript. And it simply can't, very simply can't. Yes there is a very complicated explanation to this, and it sucks, however it is incapable of using JavaScript. So what does that translate to, that means I cannot blog from my sidekick because freakin myspace uses JavaScript for this blog tool that I am typing in right now. Sucks!!!!! If anybody from Myspace reads this, here is a suggestion, add somewhere where people can blog from their mobile devices. That would be great, I see you finally caught on to setting up a RSS feed for the blogs, months after I posted a tutorial on how to do that. You'd think with all this advertisment you got going on, you would keep up with technology. Well that my blurp on that. On to the next topic.

--sidenote, if you want your rss feed on myspace simply type in
http://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID= (your friend id ie. my friend id is 9394182 so my rss feed would be http://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID= 9394182 In order to find this number simply go to your own page when you are logged in and in that long string of letters and numbers you will something that says viewprofile&friendID=this is where your friend id will be.

On another note, I just hooked up my friends PSP so that you can download movies to a memory stick duo and watch movies on it. I will probably shortly be posting my second tutorial on how to do that as well as use your PSP to browse the Internet for people that look at this blog.

Speaking of people that look at this blog, I'm very curious to find out who is reading my blog, I am now over 15,000 views, which is pretty impressive for my little blog. I average about 100-150 views a day. WOW!! Hit me up if you do view this blog, I would like to know who's readin!!

There was something else I wanted to comment on, but I don't remember. I guess I'll have to save that for later.
