I figured out why my name checking script wasn't working at all. It had nothing to do with the fact that I'm retarded. (We both know that's a lie.) I have all of my page request routed through a central script except stuff like images and css files. ...I forgot to add javascripts to the exlusion list. Now I just need to get the script to work right. For some reason it doesn't show names already taken as unavailable. That's probably another really simple thing to fix if only I could figure out the simple part.

There are other things I'm going to change about the design and more scripting tweaks that I'll keep you informed about. I think I'll post some tutorials about how I'm making this site so you can not do the stupid things that I do when making pretty scripts. Actually, I still have my old PHP tutorials that I should update and post. They were plagiarized for years, so they must be good.

In other news, I've wasted another weekend playing video games. Or as I like to refer to them "crack". My roommate showed me Defense Grid from the XBOX arcade and I was immediatly addicted to it. Basically, you create attack towers to stop aliens from stealing power orbs from your base. I like to play Grind or Super Grind modes which pits you against 99 waves of aliens. I was ranked 3rd in overall damage and 7th in number of aliens killed earlier today. Go ahead and try to do better. My gamer tag is Riviania.

Hmm, I should probably add my gamer tag info to a sidebar. That and a proper "about me" box so that I'm not just some faceless hobo to you guys.

I finally finished a functioning signup script. It's not completely done yet as I want to add a username availability check to it before it processes, but haven't been able to get it working. I couldn't even get a script I downloaded and dumped onto the server to work. Boo! I'm sure the solution is something really simple and I'll realize I'm retarded as soon as I figure it out.

In other news, it damn hot here. I haven't been doing anything but be lazy and sweat all the time. Most of the homes and appartments in this area don't have AC, which is very sad.

Update I haven't finished the password reset yet. So if you sign up and forget your password, then that makes me sad for you. Just don't log out if you're forgetful.

I'm still working on the signup script for the site. And by working on, I mean playing video games to make me happy. I have also successfully not killed any of my roommates yet.

I also started working out this week. You know, one day for about 10 minutes. I haven't done any kind of physical activity in several months and I would perfer not to get fat. My goal is to somday be 200 + lbs with as little bodyfat as would be healthy. Only because I think it would be funny and semi-easily attanable.

Anyway, back to the point. I'm lazy.

Oh yea, I'm supposed to be making some sort of site for my roommate and her cosplay friends. I should probably start since that was two weeks ago and I said I'd be done in a month. My site is more important so I'll do that first.

I've copied over my favorite parts of my old page and put them here. I haven't finished the sign up script, so the only member is me. I'm tempted to dump the account validation script because I'm lazy and coding it sucks.

This is the first time I've used pink or purple in a site design and I actually like it despite the girliness. Except for the sidebar graphic. I might change it someday, but if you haven't figured it out, I'm lazy.

I think there are some other things I need to finish, but I don't remember what so they must not be important.

What's going to be here? A bunch of random stuff. Everyday (that I update) will be a surprise. Surprises are fun.

I'm also working on a project for my hobo friend. Some sort of cosplay stuff she needs a message board for.

And where the hell is UPS with my package? I said two-day delivery not a week.

It starts with an innocent gesture or a good faith gift and ends with you being a slave or killed. Aliens are deceptive, evil creatures that hate you and will do whatever it takes to get you out of the way. For all you know, the aliens use people as fuel to power their flying death squads. Or maybe they need some guinea pigs to test a new drug the want to put on the market. Either way, you need to know how to kill them and keep them from coming back.

Guns kill aliens very well. Especially big guns found on tanks. Throwing water on an alien will only piss it off, making your death all the more likely. Acid that can kill you can probably kill an alien just the same. Be careful not to spill any on yourself.

Chances are you are going to have to kill the aliens yourself because you can't trust most politicians and they'll screw us all over.

Steal the alien's technology. It's not enough that you blew it's head off, steal that hyper death ray that vaporized the idiot next to you and kill some more aliens. Take that cool hover bike and pick up a friend for some good old alien killing. One person can drive while the other shoots.

Find other alien haters to get your world back. Ten guns are better than one. You don't have to like your Alien Death Squad, you just have to shoot aliens with them.

Does it piss you off to find out some jackass wrote a virus that has wiped out your computer? Use those people against the aliens. Any advanced race worth a damn has some sort of Internet type thing. Find some lonely teenage nerd to make a series of viruses to make those alien bastards cry. Get an army of angry teens to take over their flying ships and crash them into each other.

Find out where the aliens live and mess up their home world with their own technology. Don't send everyone, someone needs to stay behind and make sure none of those alien bastards invade again.

Learn their language. Not all of it, just the swear words and some cool insults is enough. Sharing a quick quip in alieneese right before you incinerate one is much more satisfying since your insult is the last thing they hear before dying.
