The place of a nut-job who writes silly stories and talkes about computer related stuff. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Thu, 1 Jan 2009 11:14:00 -0600 Thu, 1 Jan 2009 11:14:00 -0600 This blog's days were numbered, but they're over now.

Regained control. anyway here is the link.Technobabble http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/638761/ Thu, 1 Jan 2009 11:14:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/638761/ "Well now what are we gonna do?" Jacob asked. He was a 13 year old boy, he had bright blue eyes. and blond hair. he had a backpack filled with snacks. His mom told him "If you go out hiking you need to bring extra snacks." "Guess nobody told her that the trip was only half an hour long." he thought With him was his best friend James, who had large black eyes with thick black hair. He didn't have any snacks packed. "Well I guess we need to head back." James replied bleakly. The hike had been boring. it was the shortest trail around the area, and barren of life. even most of the trees were dead. The trail had a bunch of rock in it, and the view was mostly brown, even during the spring. Jacob hated this trail. “We ought to build a fort or something out here” James said. “No, how would we build it?” Jacob replied. “Dunno, just a thought” James said. They continued to walk back. It seemed uneventful. They saw rabbit scurry across the path,but otherwise there was no sign of life. They were nearing Jacobs house when James stopped suddenly. “What's that?” James said while pointing at a small trail to the side. “I've never seen that before” Jacob said. “Lets check it out.” “No, I'm not gonna get myself stuck in another pipe.” James said. Jacob knew what he was referring to. It was a time that when they were both eight Jacob dared James to go into a large pipe. It turned out though that the pipe was too small and he got himself stuck. In the end he got out because his uncle jerry poured gallons of cooking oil in there. James never knew which was worse, getting stuck in the pipe or cleaning of the oil afterwards. “It's not like that, we are just gonna go down the trail a little ways, then head back home.” “No.” “Fine then I'll go alone” “NO!” Jacob started walking down the trail, and just as he expected James ran after him. The trail was twisting and bending this way and that. The trees were just as dead as the other ones. “We should head back.” James said. “But we just got here.” Jacob relied, he was lightly irritated, but calm nonetheless. “But we don't want to get lost.” James said. “No but we don't have to worry there is this trail.” Jacob said. They were nearing the edge of a downward slope. It had a lot of large boulders on it, and smaller rock between. At the bottom were burnt trees and and ash. Jacob started heading down. “Wait look at that do you really think we should be heading down to a bunch of ash?” James yelled. “Well yeah, I want to know why it's all burned.” “No, we are going walk back and talk to your mom. It's getting late!” “I'm going.” Jacob said. He headed down With James waiting above. “You can still turn back.” James said. “Don't want to.” “Yes you do, don't be stupid.” James said. Just then the boulder that Jacob was leaning on slipped from him, and tumbled down the hill. Suddenly the whole world was tumbling around Jacob as he fell down the hill. The last thing he saw was rock tumbling after him, and James running down the hill. __.....__ He woke up To see James standing beside him. James had a terrified look on his face. It was dark out, and cloudy. Jacob Mumbled something that wasn't audible and sat up. He looked at his legs and saw the pant legs were torn up. He stodd up and stumbled back to his knees in pain. “It's isn't broken” James said. “I gathered that.” Jacob replied. “We ain't going back.” James said. “What?” Jacob said questioningly “The path is gone. I looked for close to a mile but I never found it. We're lost.” James said. “We have to find it.” Jacob said, slightly panicked. “We have to find shelter fast. It looks like a storm is brewing.” James said. “There is a cave to east of here” “Ok we'll try and find the trail when there is daylight out.” They started walking, and stumbling around in the dark. James tripped a couple of times over a few rocks. They finally came to a small cleft in the Rock wall. They walked into it. Jacob took off his backpack and set it on a small ledge. “We ought to get some sleep.” James said. “No, I have to eat first.” Jacob said. “We have nothing to eat.” “Um my mom seems to always think that I'm gonna wonder off to another planet.” Jacob said as he pulled twelve bags of trail mix. He then pulled out some Pb&J sandwiches and some sport bottles filled with water. “Here.” He said tossing a sandwich at James. “Thanks.” James said as he pulled th sandwich out of the bag. Jacob took a bite out of his sandwich and said “Have you noticed something odd?” “Other than a mysterious trail that leads us to a burned forest and then the trail vanished, no.” “Well, other than that. The air smells horrible, and it's very hot for fall.” Jacob said. “Now that I think about it, you're absolutely right.” “It smells like sulfur.” Jacob said. “You're right, but why?” “Volcano?” Jacob said. James gave hi the “You're stupid” look then went to reply: “No, probably gun powder.” “Gun Powder? The don't use that anymore.” Jacob said. “Well maybe a stash was blown up and that's why all those trees were burned.” James said. “That's crazy.” Jacob said. Suddenly there was a slight rumble, like an explosion in the distance. The rumble grew louder, then calmed down. James looked terrified. “You were saying about a volcano?” Jacob said. “That was an explosion. Are we being bombed?” James said franticly. “Calm down, you're gonna make me crazy.” Jacob said. “We need sleep.” Said James. They both laid awake for a couple of hours, neither talking, and both thinking the other was asleap, then the both drifted to sleep. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/638090/ Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:08:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/638090/ Spider-man swung around and then landed on a building. the Xavier Institute to be precise. He crawled down to a window and opened it. he started to crawl in when a set of claws swung over his head. "What'er ya do'in here, bub. " A man known as Wolverine snarled. He had an outlandish yellow and blue spandex suit (not that spidey's red and blue was much better.) and had claws sticking out of his fists. "I saw Magneto walk into the building and thought something was up." Spider-man said. Wolverine Held up his hand and started sniffing. "Magneto's here." Wolverine growled.  "Didn't I just say that, did you even listen." Spider-man replied. Cyclops ran into the hall and stared at spider-man. "Wolverine, Magneto is in the kitchen" He said. "Wow you guys just love to point out the obvious." Spider-man said. They all ran into the kitchen and saw Magneto holding a bowl. "I am Magneto, and this time i will show you that humans hate mutants once and for all. "  "Well ain't I lucky that I'm not a mutant. Spidey said.  "Behold the power of the pudding!." Magneto yelled. "Do you realize how stupid that sounds." Spider-man said. "Ragghrh" Yelled Wolverine. Suddenly Magneto threw a ball of lead through the roof and shot himself through. As he was flying in the air, Spider-man web slinged everyone up with him.  "Now I'm gonna have web in my hair for a week." Cyclops said.  "An hour" Spider-man said.  "Let's get him." Wolverine growled. "Xavier's puppets, you have been led down the path of lunacy." Magneto cried out. Then he lifted the lid off the bowl to reveal:  Nothing. "Where did it go." Magneto yelled, then tossed down the bowl and and flew into Wolverine's face. "Tell me where it is." He said. "I don't know" Wolverine said honestly.  "I will beat you to the ground, and below." Magneto screamed. Then out of the blue a red beam blasted into magneto's back and propelled him into the next county.  Spider-man stood there in awe . "Was the you Cyclops?" He said.  "Yes." Cyclops said. "What are you doing here anyway." "I saw Magneto head into the Xavier institute and decide to see what was going on." "Oh." Cylops replied.  "Bye." Spider-man said as he swung off the building . http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/633540/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:39:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/633540/ In my last post I said that I would start putting up frugal advise. Well here is #2 Yard sales! Now most people think that garage sales are just junk strewn out on a lawn, but if you know what your looking for you can get clothing for less than an eighth of it's cost brand new. In fact my mom has managed to get an entire wardrobe for my baby brother for less than twenty dollars, and all of his clothing looks way better than if we bought it from wal-mart. For my tastes it has also helped. I build computers from scratch, so I need computer parts. The problem is that if I buy everything brand new then we wouldn't have money for other things. Recently I got a power supply and memory for an old computer for $12.50. Band new all that would have cost about $40.00 counting shipping and handling. The point is that if you know what your looking for, and if you know when to say no, you should be able to cloth people and take care of various needs if you go yard saleing. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/616160/ Fri, 7 Nov 2008 17:33:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/616160/ I haven't posted anything recently, but now I fell like I need to. With Obama being elected. People are going to need frugal advise to get them through these hard times. My plan is to give some advise. I have experience in computers, cooking, and baby sitting my little siblings. All of those on low budgets. For now I'm going to supply one of my favorite computer resources, Linux. With Windows costing so much these days people are looking for alternatives. One of those is Ubuntu Linux. It's completely free, but despite that it actually is more functional. Linux usually on any computer you put it on, and there is a Windows binary loader for Linux called W.I.N.E. (Wine Is Not an Emulator) Check through the programs that you use on a day to day basis. Then check each one of them in the WINE AppDB. You can do just about anything in Linux that you were able o in windows. In the future you may want more advice and I am willing to give it. I'm not going to be just doing computer, but that is my focus. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/615160/ Wed, 5 Nov 2008 16:19:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/615160/ Now that we have that cleared right up. I’m a christian teenager who lives in a large Family. I have several talents, but mostly I repair computers that people say are impossible to repair. amongst my other specialties are: * Mastering Linux. * Playing with little brothers, (even after they’ve buried me.) * Washing dishes * Injuring myself in the most bizarre ways. (E.g. Dropping an empty small pot on my knee injuring it.) * Have a desire to write books. that is truly my passion. I’m betting now that any sane person has realized that they are bored out of there minds, and have run off to another blog. But that’s ok insane people are fun right? http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/612423/ Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:11:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/techno/612423/
