Quick post today, just some interesting things.

Been awhile since I posted shit here eh?

Welcome to the first installment of chatting with idiots.

I hate people that don’t make an attempt at proper grammar. Seriously folks, it is the internet, at LEAST spell out your words and use a period once in awhile. I could stand reading something like this..

Yo what is up? havent talked to you in awhile but just thought id shout out and say hey.

before I ever read something like this again..

Seriously folks.

[12:06 AM] novastar: your on the internet, ofcouse you’re running into idiots
[12:06 AM] novastar: its like running into gun nuts at an NRA meeting

I guess he is right

It’s been quite a while since I’ve put anything up here, but I’ve not had a whole lot to say. To be absolutely honest, I’ve just kind of fallen into a groove of work and sleep lately. It’s not really healthy for me either, one of the mountains I have to climb is learning to be confident and communicate with civilians. But today I’m not going to write about me.

No, today I’d like to comment on the tragic events that transpired yesterday at Fort Hood. This whole scenario is ridiculously horrific, to the point that if it wasn’t being reported on the Today show I’d never believe it wasn’t some twisted training setup that could never happen. I can say with a fair amount of certainty that I probably didn’t know anyone who wound up in the room with that gunman personally. But having been trained to help prevent US casualties, and having had that responsibility put on me in a war zone, I feel like I did know them.

It’s terrifying that something like this could happen. It’s horrible that no one had taken steps to ensure that the gunman had begun to receive some measure of attention and monitoring, or better yet to remove him from service. The worst part is that sometimes things don’t change until a problem presents itself; well Mr. President, Mr. Chief-of-Staff-of-the-Army, here’s a problem. How do you check on the people who check on us grunts? How do you ensure that people receive attention based on the warning signs that they show of having issues?

I assure you that the fast and easy answer, tightening security coming onto post for soldiers and DoD ID holders, is not feasible. Trying to search 1,000 cars coming onto base at the end of lunch hour is not feasible. And it would have taken having every car entering post searched the day he brought his weapons onto base for that to even have a chance at preventing this. It comes back to paying attention to your people.

I have no idea how they will move forward in the investigation. I have no idea how people will cope and move forward in Fort Hood. But I know how I will move forward: saying a prayer for the fallen, and working even harder in their memory.

So I went mudding this weekend at a place here close to town. Had a ton of fun, got stuck, had to be pulled out with a tractor. I’ll have videos and pictures up later.

So I got a new flash player, just testing it out a bit…

Head over to the /video/ page.

I decided to go ahead and throw up a new design. The mock up for it is above. I have some work left to do, but I’m pleased with the results so far.

I have a bit of work left to do, but I’m pleased with the results so far. The design will allow for better gallery navigation and wider content. It really opens up the site and removes the restrictions the old layout had. Its a very very very simple design using only 4 images total for design make up.

And it looks like I have passed w3c
