So, I just relaunched 15forums and I am making it a general area where you can discuss all the 15art and KyleKorleski.com websites. I spent all day setting it up and fighting the first flamers. So, it’s all ready for you. And I really hope you enjoy it! Yeah, a short post today, I know. Sorry about that. ^_^ But if you comment on this post with your user name, I will activate your account as soon as I get your comment.
As you can see from subscribing to my feed, I do not provide a full feed of content from my blog. And I haven’t been doing so since the start of my blog (as far as I can recall). I am a blogger and I would like more people to read my blog because, let’s face it - I love it when people read my shit, er, informative articles. . (more…)
I am afraid to say that due to the recent defamatory comments made by certain parties that appear to be very immature, I am going to have to request that commentators follow certain rules. These basically are the rules of courtesy, honesty and fair treatment of others. I have a few main points which must be followed. If you intend to comment, please read through them carefully, I typed them up and read them a few times to ensure they communicated some very important concerns here. (more…)
For anyone that is actually interested in how well this site does, I have decided to publicly release the statistical data for my personal weblog. Sometimes, I will blog according to the stats and make general comments regarding my research in that topic, so if you want to know why exactly I am posting about a certain event or what not, you could check the stats and see what I was thinking when I posted that.
I got tired of using a chopped up version of Sandbox. So I have decided to install Redoable, and make it my own theme (i.e. re-colouring) until I get blackthorne done. I hope you like the change. Peace. ^_^
I hate the idea that people make resolutions that they have no intention of keeping only when the earth’s odometre rolls over. It seems that it is enough to make people believe that they have a new lease on life. Personally, I believe the route of change should happen throughout the new year, especially when one realizes it is needed the most. However, I have reviewed what I want out of life and this is what I have come up with:
Those are my five new years resolutions. This is what is truly important to me right now and I would personally like to thank you for reading through my sappy drivel but hey, it was enough to spice up my life.
Okay, so I was going through my Akismet spam, checking for false positives (yeah, I do that) and I found an anonymous comment from someone with the e-mail address jane@aol.com. It was on my post about when I was canned at Valero so that the managers could save their own asses. Apparently, this woman decided to accuse of actually taking the food and stated that I should “own up to my own crime”. WTF?
I did nothing wrong and this woman decides to blatantly accuse me for something that isn’t even true. The managers fired me because they were missing $3000 US in inventory and they had to pin it on someone. The rest of the story should be self-explanatory. This happens more often than you’d think in the states but that is because more and more employers are turning to “at-will” employment rather than contract employment.
Anyways, what I want to communicate is that while I do allow for open dialog in this blog, I should be able to contact you to try to explain the situation if you decide to leave comments like this. Or at least a link to your own blog so I can find out how to contact you and give you feedback on what you said.
Talking with Mr. Pringle today got me thinking about how well the school takes freedom of speech. The college is actually very hypocritical and I know at least one person that sees this as well. My blog is a mind dump, more or less. You can write about the things that are going on in your life and it helps you feel much better. When comments come, it makes you feel that you are not alone in the struggle that is life. It is a slice of my life that not everyone sees and they get to view the world that I live in a little differently.
I don’t blog about anything, or share opinions, that I wouldn’t feel happy talking about up on a stage in front of friends and strangers. This is why I am not anonymous nor do I wish to be. My name IS Kyle Korleski (no, that is not a pen name) and I live in Calgary, Alberta for the time being (if I were to move, it’d definitely be to Halifax or Vancouver). I have a loud, outspoken attitude that some people find to be very acidic. I’d love to be stopped and told how much my blog rocks/sucks. I love writing this blog because it gives me a chance and a forum in which to vent my anger, disgust and discontentment with the world, while at the same time celebrating the wonderful things that happen in my life. It is very nice to actually get comments on this blog, and no, the viagra spam comments do not count in this. (more…)
Okay, I have a couple of things to say before we get to the meat and potatoes of this post. First, I am going to make my website exclusively into a blog. It seems to be about the only thing I have time for with college and what not. When I get to integrating a gallery of my own artwork, I will do so - but not now. As for a portfolio site, well, I am thinking about making a wordpress add-on to handle that aspect of it.
Secondly, I am completely moving this site off of my ASO Lifetime account tomorrow evening. It is going to be on MediaTemple permanently so that my friend over at Sata Andagi can have his space. I am REALLY sorry about delaying this dude, you have got to believe me. So, there may be a point or two where you cannot access my blog. Also, it is being moved to a new domain so that might make things a bit more interesting. (more…)
Sorry about not blogging recently. I have to collect $2,000 by the 19th of June or I won’t be able to stay in the country. -_-
So, right now, I am doing as much designing, coding and forum management as possible to raise the money in a reasonable timeframe.
Anyways, I heard from a reliable source that the beta for Microsoft Office 2007 is now open (you can get it here) and Windows Longhorn Beta 2 is making its way to the public, so you should keep your eyes on these.
The new ICQ 5.1 has launched today and I’ll give you my opinion on it, after I try it out of course, as well as the new 2007 Microsoft Office. However, I am afraid that this version of ICQ will be no different from the most recent versions of ICQ (the ones with “Xtraz”). Essentially, with skinning of the ICQ Client gone (as ICQ Plus has been outsourced and only ICQ 2003a will run well with it), the ICQ client isn’t as customisable as we think it is.
I got around to watching a couple of those Ranma 1/2 tapes that I am selling on eBay (the listing can be found here) and it is surprisingly good. However, since they were VHS, they were dubbed and not subbed. And they were dubbed POORLY. The voices sound like they have no emotion what-so-ever. I’d bet the subbed would be a bit more lively, but then again, I have always preferred subbed over dubbed. But if you prefer dubbed over subbed, this is a great collection.
I looked on Amazon.ca for Ranma DVD box-sets but they were running at $110.00 a boxset on average (You can see the Amazon.ca listings here). WTF?! I wish I could afford this…
Okay, I think that’s about it. Have a great day!
