I always am forgettting this and that about CVS and this is just a really good resource on all the CVS stuff you would need to know when working with a regular CVS repository.

Command Line CVS

If you need to make a string into an input stream it is really easy. Many people say you shouldnt convert a string into an input stream and that it is bad code design though. Since I was using someone elses library that only took input streams and all of my input was created as strings i really had no choice but to do the conversion (which is wastefull of memory cause you essentially have exact copies of the same data). Making a string into an inputstream can be done like this:

ByteArrayInputStream bs = new ByteArrayInputStream(site.getBytes());

Well I have successfully moved all of the bandddesigns websites to a new server with more bandwidth and space. So that is a good thing. If you see this message your on the new server, fun isnt it.

well i couldnt post for awhile as i got everything moved over. We outgrew our last server and had to move to a bigger one. So here we are. This is still on a seperate server than all of the wastedbrains stuff, which you should check out cause there are tons of updates in the art and videos sections. So yippie for growth and getting mad hits on our site. If these trends continue.... EHHHH.... Anyways All is well and the big new anouncement is that I got an apartment in Denver. I will be moving Saturday... holy crap that is soon I need to start packing and preparing and all that jazz. So this weekend will kinda suck but after that it should be very cool and nice. I have to pay double rent for a couple months, but that is ok I would feel horrible moving some rando in with Dom and Nicole, so it will let them enjoy some peace and quite and alone time living together for awhile since they may or may not get to do that anytime soon.

So in the words of Elvis love me tender, for now I am out... and I will start updating again soon.

Web work is getting busy.... I just got a bunch of new stuff set up... which is cool but i am looking forward to a break away from it for a bit in mexico.... So that is cool. Anyways bunch of new stuff and hits are going up... yippie.

peace

I love Milk and cookies

I am in so much love....with a burger. Yeah that is right a burger... Anyways seriously i havent has such an amazing fake burger... it was delicious... So I am recommending with all my heart the Morning Star Thai burger. It was really tasty it was aswesome... so even if you dont eat fake meat maybe you should give it a try.. It is very good even though it doesnt taste at all like meat, it just tastes good... So I am excited cause i dont get to find new tasty fake meat stuff very often. I havent seen these before but i will be looking for them as often as possible now... Yippie for the delicious Morning Star Thai Burgers... I am excited about getting to eat one again soon.

Well i am mostly moved to my new place but i dont have internet therer yet. grrrrr.... Anyways i really like the place and i am starting to get everything set up there... i will post pictures and stuff once i get net there...

So everyone missed a chance to see one of the funniest and saddest things ever, which is having one man (myself) try to move a matress and a box spring out of our second floor and load it into a van. I did accomplish this feat which is by no means a one man job. The cursing and frustration and the pain of things falling on me would have been much amusement to many others i am sure.

Anyways my first night at the new place i went out with Jesse and some of his friends and had a great time. Then while on the way home i run into a friend the moved to denver that i hadn't talked to in months. It was weird and funny so now i have another friend living in denver. Nice.

Alright well i have internet and I had my digital camera so even though my place is pretty emply and I havent even decided a real layout for the place i decided that I should put up some pictures of my new pad. I am really happy with the place and think I will really turn it into a place of my own. Anyways I need to get couches bad, and I already order a Oak kitchen table (which is also bumper pool and a texas holdem table). So here is what I have for now.

Alright I have sofas and stuff my place is really starting to look like well a home. It is pretty cool. Now all I need is my drapes, dinning table, and a few other things and I will really be set. I just need to figure out a lay out that works for me (which is mostly hard cause I am trying to figure out where to project from and to. So once I do that and have my desk sitting in its final resting place I will be well set up for poker nights, chill movie nights, bumper pool and beer night, and pretty much everything else. So I guess pretty soon I will have to have some sort of house warming or something. Anyways it is exciting even if it is taking all of the money i thought I would be saving. Soon my little life will be complete in the anti fight club part of life. Then I will start working on self destruction eh? I guess my walls are still pretty empty so I will have to start finding some more cool posters to put up. I am keeping my bedroom covered in my art, but I am going to keep the main area from being clustered and put up others art pieces and such. I will always have to have one room that is a cluster crazy covered wall. So for now that will be my bedroom when I get a larger place down the line that will be my studio room which will of course be different from my office. Cause the studio room will be a disaster of paint, projects, trash, and all the other disorganized ruble required to bring genious from madness... hehe but I guess that is a long time off... until then less than 20 days till Mexico! Yippie!
