As long as I have been working with computers and programming, I have never owned a laptop or netbook, and I really, really need one.

There have been a million times I have had plenty of time  to work on a plugin, like Tango Smileys Extended, but I wasn’t able to because I didn’t have access to a computer. As great as a Pocket PC is, I was never able to type out a chunk of code before I forgot what I was even trying to do!  It has become especially difficult now that I’ve switched to the Samsung Omnia, since the Omnia does not have a keyboard like my old Apache, and typing by tapping a screen is pretty slow going since you’re never sure you actually hit the right letter until you see it come up wrong on the screen. It sucks, and it’s time to do something about it.

However… I need your help.

I don’t make a lot of money but I do have plenty of bills. It makes it very difficult to save for something like a netbook. The only way I’m going to be able to afford to get a netbook (without saving for months) is to beg for donations.

Please, if you use any of my plugins or find any information I provide on this site helpful in any way, consider donating to my cause. Every little helps, and it would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone is interested in which netbook I’m trying to get, it’s an Acer Aspire AS1410-???? found on newegg. I’m not sure which AS1410 I’m going to get, because the price keeps changing so I may get a different color just because it’s cheaper. It’s nothing fancy – it’s just what I need to continue active development of my plugins and other projects.

I’ve been lazy these past few days. Well… I guess I’ve been lazy this entire month! I’ve only made six posts this month – this being the sixth – and I’m not too happy about it. I haven’t even managed to update TSE in over two weeks! I really need to get my shit together.

This marks my first official post of 2009, and we’re already four days into the year. I’m such a slacker.

I see a lot of people blogging resolutions for the new year or recapping 2008, but I’d like to not start the year by lying to myself or bringing up the crap memories of this past year. Instead, I choose to look at the things that are making the transition to the new year with me. Continue reading »

Thank God that even though it’s taken me several minutes to compose this message, I am no so hammered that I don’t understand what’s going on.

Wow…

I’m drunk…

It’s 8:40am on Christmas morning, and we’ve got the AC on. Why? Because it’s already 73°F outside!

To top it off, it was only 68°F last night, then it rained, then it got warmer, and now it’s 73°F and very, very humid. I don’t think anyone should be sticky on Christmas morning.

Unless, of course, your Christmas present is a very hot woman wearing nothing but a red ribbon. But, then again, a shower would get rid of that kind of sticky.

I think I’m finally going to be okay.

Maybe.
