At least at the present. And oh, my head hurts. A whole lot. But I am still alive.
Maybe you're asking what I've been doing. Honestly, I don't remember. But I did design a totally kickin' website that I'm going to post somewhere soon. And... uh... when was the last time I blogged?
I don't even remember.
I'm getting a new MacBook. Whenever it shows up I guess. No one at Apple seems to have any idea where it is. Their shipping department is on crack. But I guess such things are to be expected. My MacBook is still the greatest laptop ever, when it works. (I decided mine was just a lemon, and that I was just lucky)
What else?
I fixed my PC. Really fixed. The best it's been since I bought it almost four years ago. It's running Ubuntu 7.04 (beta something) and it runs really nice. I even got the wifi and the video card to work.
OH!
I have this amazing idea for a story, but I just can't seem to begin it right. Basically it's like this. There are four kinds of people. People A live in dimension A and understand each other correctly and see each other correctly. People B live in dimension B and also see and understand each other just dandily. People A and B can't see both dimensions though. People C, however, can. But they can only understand other Cs. They don't really know what B or A are saying. Ds can see and understand everyone, but can't give anyone any information except other Ds.
I haven't really come up with any sort of plot yet, but it's usually better that way.
My head hurts less! I'm going to go cross post my idea on my MyGaySpace.
Idea 1:
Tetris. In 3D. Exactly.
And the worst piece of poetry ever written:
If you were a teacup
If you were a teacup, lovely and posh
I would drink from you, my pinkie raised
The delicious tea, like OHMYGOSH!
But imagine this for a moment
you're a lovely chair
i sit on your, losing some of my lovely locks of hair
UPDATE:

Happy Christmas, New Year, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, and any other holiday I may have missed in there. Yeeeeeeah.
Hello. It's been rather a long while, hasn't it? So. You've missed... Quite a bit I suppose. My beloved cat of ten years, Katsy, died. She will be deeply missed. It was Christmas. That was good. (I mean, it's not every day the messiah is born. Really.) I did get some very nice things as far as things go. I got a Wii, some RAM, an external hard drive. Some nice Beatlesque stuff.
I'm at a loss of things to say at the moment.
Oh, I killed the charger on my MacBook, if you don't already know by now. That's... Slightly depressing.
Ocassionaly, it looks like that.
More often, it looks like this
Most often, it looks something like this.
And it looks like this when I forget what I'm doing.
And sometimes, when I'm busy, it looks something like this.
The last few days of writing my blog, I hadn't been in the best mood when I got to the actual writing of my blog. Being in a much better mood today, I think I'll try again. Even if Aunt Sissy liked the seventeen seconds thing.
First let me explain seventeen seconds thing. Radiohead, a band I've recently taken a liking too (thanks Vinny!) has an album called Kid A. Some one was playing this wonderful weird album on two different players and managed to get a seventeen second gap in between the first playing and the second. This produces one of the creepiest effects ever, and it most definitely one of the more amazing things I've ever done, especially audio wise. You should definitely steal buy this album just to do it. I'm sure that this works on lots of albums as well, and definitely adds to my subliminal messages theories.
I am in a much better mood today. Not that I was in a really bad mood before, I'm just in my normal extra happy mood tonight. In health class today (I was seventeen seconds ahead!) I participated in a skit. (I just Googled for the script but I can't find it) Anyway it was pretty lousily written, but my hilarious acting made it better. It was pretty amazing. I got to be this suicidal guy and my acting was histaricle. Could not keep a straight face. I wish i had a video. Sure suicide is a real issue, but if you would've been there, you would've laughed histarically.
Hmm... Is there anything else? Oh yes.
Ten year old Apple Computer are still viable in todays world. I managed to get a web server, a file sharing server between my MacBook and it, and a VNC remote desktop connection thing. I even found a way to hook four computer up to two monitors with switching wires around. And then when we finish the basement, I can hook most of them up down there. Anyway, dinner is done (we're at Dairy Queen again) and my battery is dying (4%, about eight minutes worth) and I have finished writing this blog. Now just to post it and say goodbye to the people on my buddy list.
Windows, Mac, Linux - What's your preference and why?
Submitted by ramblingsbymark.
I prefer Mac. And Linux really. Both Mac and Linux are based on Unix, but specialized versions on Unix. They both have their own special abilities. Both are pretty rock solid and awesome, Mac is just a bit more polished and ready for prime time. It also has more applications that suit my needs, and has a major cool factor. Linux rocks too, especially for anything that needs to be done quickly and efficiently. (Mac is good for that too, but still a bit less efficient.)
Windows just sucks. A lot. I just love crashing, blue screens of death, PC tech support, crappy programs, no built in tools, lack of a decent command line, slop under the hood, a buggy user interface, and less than perfect programming libraries. Thanks, Bill!
Hello all, what have you been doing recently. I haven't blogged in a few days, but it hasn't been weeks or months or anything. Several intersesting things did happen that you all missed out on (or possibly participated in).
Saturday was our last band contest. We won everything (which was rather easy as far as the in class awards go, considering we were the only ones in our class). And we won grand champion. That was cool. Just Google Cabell Midland Band and Point Pleasant and you'll find someone who already wrote a description of the contest and how exactly we won, including what color everyone's eyes are. I'm not young enough for that kind of thing anymore. Anyway it was very very outstandingly muddy and we didn't march the show, just another standnplay contest. Quite interesting in its own right, yet now nearly as cool to watch as a marching competition.
Friday was what will probably be our last football game. We don't have after school practice anymore. We're not going to be in the Gator Bowl. That's makes me unhappy, but not nearly as unhappy as it made Emily. (cheapsurrealism.vox.com) By the way, you should add Emily as your friend because she's cool, even if she is mean to Sean (I hope you're reading this Emily.
Vox is awesome, dig it homedog.
In history class we have this assignment where we have to do a project where we start an imaginary colony back in colonial times in North America. Last night I went over to Brandon (who is crazy creative and is in my group) and we taught ourselves how to model in 3D using Google Sketchup. Sketchup is one of the coolest applications ever, and gets my download of the week award. It really does rock that much. And Brandon is a wizard at it. We are currently modeling our entire colony in 3D and then doing some wonderfully nifty 3D flyover hoojidiggers. I promise I'll upload the video to Youtube when it's done. Speaking of videos, check the right hand side of this page under videos to see my new Youtube video. This time Vinny was filming the video. Sorry it's sideways.
I also carved a Mac pumpkin. More to come.
It's always been said that the third time is a charm. The person who said that is totally irrelevant, but this is the third time I've had to return to blogging. Of course, I've never really gone anywhere, but there hasn't been any real new content from the Kuyu Content in several months. You might say there hasn't been much since the whole Kuyu Gamma thing started. I know I've said it before, but this time I swear that I'm back.
If you have no idea who I am or why you are reading this, then let me say hello. I'm Kuyler McComas, and I used to be a serious blogging machine. Times changed and I sort of got totally rapped up in changing how the blog worked and the Content Posting bit than the actual blogging part. Now I've figured out that it's really a lot more fun to write a blog than it is to make one work. I moved to Vox and now I've decided to just write and let it do it's own thing. If none of this sounds particularly entertaining to you, then you may want to check out my first blog posts ever. There was lots more introduction there. http://kuyman.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_kuyman_archive.html. You may also want to read on, but you could just read my profile there, I haven't had much time to update the one here on Vox. My interests have change, and I'm six inches taller and now have an obsession with Apple Computers and Blogging, but I'm still the same person that you can read about for over a year at Blogger.
On Monday, KuyuCast Episode 1 will be released. Who participates in this wonderful show is still to be announced, but currently it looks like it will be my friends Vinny, Luke, and Allie. Vinny and I will be on my MacBook, controlling the show. Allie and Luke will be joining us via telephone. (Oh the miracles of Voice over IP.) Since my MacBook has been repaired, there is no need to worry about it crashing during the middle of recording a show, as it often did before when I was trying to record a show with Allie.
If you're knew, make sure you listen to the first five minutes of my podcast. If you like it, you are perfectly welcome to stay and listen, and if you think it stinks, you can leave. I hope you like it.
