Hell yeah! Couldn’t see the finish of the game; however, winning the game in stoppage time is always thrilling (though, we had an early goal robbed away…again).
England and the US take Group C, leaving the other two teams to their sorrows.

So I’ve added the pictures from the Disneyland trip on June 17th with my brother, sister, and one of our cousins; also, June 18th which included my Dad and a brief meetup with another one of our cousins (for the life of me I can’t remember the name of her friend even though it was said to me at least 6 times, I can sense you judging me ;P ). Anyway the pics are below and can also be found on this page.

So the trouble with diving into development again is that it reminds me why I “hate” it. Seriously, one little semi-colon or end brace out of place, and bam, errors out the wazoo. That and it takes for ever getting things setup correctly before you can even begin to customize the code. On the other hand, I’m ‘enjoying’ the venture into creating my own custom ROM and Kernel for my phone. While there’s a lot of awesome ROM’s out for the Droid (Cyanogen/Koush CM, ChevyNo1 Simply Stunning are my fav’s), there’s pro’s and con’s to them. What I’m trying to do is take the pro’s of both and merge them. Still a lot to learn; however, I’ve made a lot of positive steps forward.
In other development news I’m still working on a fair amount of web stuff at the moment. Hopefully within the next month I can have one of my site re-designs done (not for this site), while the other should be done this week (again, nothing changing here). After that, I can start working on a new layout for this site; ahh if only time would slow down so I can keep up.

So I find out today that Alldroid.org is gone, no data backups, nothing. Haven’t been able to read up much on the incident; however, from what I can tell the controlling admin basically just closed the account. Sucks for the Droid modding community; however, there’s hope (not for the data 
), android-hackers.net (and a few other sites). Who knows, things might actually turn out better now; only time will tell.
Also of note, Google is awesome (even though they’re trying to take over the world). Up until they wipe their cache of the site it’s still “available” to pull data from.

Camera’s on freeways, sound like a bad idea; well it is. While in Arizona they not only had static cameras at some points they had mobile camera enforcement points. While it might seem like a good idea it had a side effect that isn’t too friendly, groups of cars that don’t like to allow you to move over. I can understand trying to stop people from driving 90 down the freeway; however, it seemed to create a lot of unneeded backup. Truthfully though, they give you plenty of warning before the enforcement points (1/2 mile and 300 ft.) and you have time to slow down if you happen to be going to fast. I just hope to hell CA doesn’t think about doing something like this. At least LA wouldn’t have to worry too much, every time I’m down there I can’t go faster than 5MPH do to the traffic.
They also just put in a rather odd illegal immigration bill. I don’t really see how the police are going to enforce this bill without doing some sort of racial profiling. They can already do immigration status checks of people they arrest; however, this new portion just doesn’t seem like a good use of time. The law, as I’ve read it, doesn’t really seem to break federal law on immigration; what it seems to do is “enhance” the enforcement. Now whether that “enhanced” enforcement breaks illegal search and seizure, or some other personal protection US citizens have the privilege to, is a completely different argument. I think the citizens are a little upset over recent events there and are agreeing with a knee jerk reaction of a bill. Anyway, that’s just my brief opinion on a fairly complex issue.

After spending the last week in Arizona I can honestly say it’s good to be back home. While the temperature out there wasn’t too bad a couple of the days it was over 80 most of the time. Everything is in bloom out there and while beautiful, it killed my allergies. So with the emotional stress draining me during the day, the pollen in the air was the nail in the coffin for my energy. Anyway, I have a lot of catching up to do with work this week; no rest for the weary.
I’ve been diving into web coding recently with my free time, so you might see some changes to my website over the next couple of months (we’ll see how it goes). While I really don’t like doing code work, when I have an idea of how something should work, or look, I see if I can create it. I think I’ll also be working on hacking my Wii. Not for anything illegal, I just want to make it more usable and functional. That’s all my brain can handle spewing out at the moment.
Remember keep you guard down, you never know when nothing’s coming your way.

It’s been a long time since I fired up my PS2; however, I’ve had this urge to play Kingdom Hearts again. Well, I sure as hell didn’t plan on spending most of the evening playing it but that’s how it ended up. I seriously forgot how much fun, and addicting, this game is. It was nice to get my mind off normal life for a while and immerse myself killing millions of pixels on the screen. Now if only SE would finish up with FF Versus XIII and kick KH3 into high gear I’d be happy.
