Fark Goodness

I just remembered a couple of cool articles I read last night.  I found them of course on Fark.com.  The first was about a kid over in India I believe.  He is only 8 years old and is like this computer genius.  He started using a computer when he was two.  If I remember correctly from the article he sent out an email when he was 2 or 3.  Crazy.  He is MOUS certified (Microsoft Officer User Specialist) – Core & Expert Level.  He has done web design, met the president, and Bill Gates.  I read in there that he is doing some video conferencing.  I think it would be cool for our kids to have a videoconference with him and interview him for the KKTS News Broadcast.  His website is www.microsoftkid.com to read the article about him follow this link.The other story I thought was interesting last night was about a couple of kids in PA that “borrowed” on of their dads’ planes.  Their mission:  To bomb their school with eggs.  There were two of them 15 and 16.  Neither of them had their pilots license.  Sounds like their mission was successful.  They did however scare everyone in town by flying so low.  On top of that it was really foggy out.  The police weren’t able to ID the planes tail number.  They waited for the plane to land at the local airport.  That didn’t work out so well when the kids landed at a private strip owned by the father.  The boys ended up turning themselves in when they heard they were being looked for.  I don’t think they realized how much of a stir they caused.  Follow this link to read the full article.

Chilly Morning

Sleeping flew by too quickly last night.  I need to get my sleeping patterns under control.  I am at that glorious SFA meeting right now.  It’s going pretty well.  I brought over a couple of cinnamon rolls that Erin made last weekend.  They are pretty tasty. Looks like it’s going to be another beautiful day.  On my way to school I noticed that all the stars were out.  It’s still pretty cold out.  I think I like it a little better than the weird warm days we had before break. At this point I’m looking forward to the end of the day.  I hope it goes quickly.  🙂

CGI-Bin

Once again I am up way to late.  My mind was racing when I went to bed.  I gave it an honest effort but sleep never came.  So I got up and came out here to the couch.  I started out trying to make some flashy colons for the clock at the top of my blog, which I accomplished but didn’t like how it looked.  I ended up scrapping that idea.  Then I got this notion of making a form so my viewers could submit comments.  Well…. After over an hour and half of trying to figure it out I have failed.  It turns out I need to get into contact with Copper Valley Internet (our ISP) to find out where the cgi-bin is located on the server, and if I can put a perl script in there.  Odds are they won’t.  So I’ll be out of luck.  You would think by now they could have made it a little easier to accomplish that task.  Ohh well..  I have an SFA meeting in the morning, which I am not allowed to skip.  The SFA coordinator (Erin) would not be a happy camper if I skipped her meeting.  So I had better head to bed so I can get my beauty sleep.
