I won’t be around the phpfox forums for any other reason than the fact that I still own 2 scripts (sold 2 in the last 24 hours). So don’t be surprised if I don’t respond to threads or Private Messages for a while. Too many children on the forum and I’ve got too many things on my plate right now, including better software that I’ll be letting everybody know about shortly. The 3 people who have taken a look at it were all phpfox users who were BLOWN AWAY by the software and it’s capabilities.
I’ll be letting you know about that shortly, after I wrap some stuff up.
The Sopranos finale was… not sure what to think about it. They’re known for their Metaphorical scenes and the last scene had me trippin’ out. Was it a black out? wtf happened? I guess the song and the scene paint the picture, metaphorically? Crazy. I was hoping for a little more. Why they didn’t have a 2-hour finale is beyond me.
I’m preparing for a 10-day vacation coming up. I’ll be in Vegas and Cali both but will have limited access to a WiFi connection, I’m sure, for the most part. I’ll still be working — just mostly offline… coding and stuff.
At the end of the month I need to have my favorite project of all time done and MIGHT give out the link. I’m not sure if I’ll place it on my site as there’s too many punk kids online these days looking to screw with people like net-thugs.

The Sopranos Series Finale airs tonight… in approximately 1 hour.
Sad to see it go. I wonder who’s going to survive? Tony? Pauly?

I find it amusing how people have “friends” online that they stick up for, even when they consider themselves “professional”. Rather than letting their “friends” deal with the consequences of their childish and unprofessional antics – they tend to jump in and “back up their friends” at all costs, without even thinking.
It’s actually quite pathetic. Especially when everybody sees how unprofessional you really are offline. I wonder how many of these people hang out offline? I wonder if they’d deal with the consequences offline?
I’m going to bet no…
So why would they do it online, all while promoting their products or services? It’s politics. “You got my back – I got yours” for arguments sake.
How childish is this? I mean I can see it from the 17 year olds I see on some forums… but grown men?
Get real. If you consider yourself “professional” – then be professional and keep out of arguments you know nothing about. Especially when it’s your “MSN Buddy”…it makes you look…sad, to say the least.
I also find it funny how easily people contradict themselves online. From doing the same thing, in the past, as others do in the future and then talking bad about them is ridiculous.
I also find it funny how quickly people ATTACK others, all the while not even knowing what’s really going on. It happens on the DigitalPoint forums all the time.
I can see it on sites like that because they’re not professional. Sitepoint has it’s fair share but the mods there are very professional and quick to defuse a situation. phpfox forums are ran by kids, except 1 who is busy with other stuff, and it’s LITERALLY bringing the business down with it. I warned them about it months ago and lately it’s definitely been happening, which is why I left. It’s sad to see so many know-it-alls and “perfect” people destroy entire communities.

Just letting everyone know that I stepped down from my Moderator position on the phpfox forums. I am now only a script owner and will not be producing custom modifications for the script, either.
There’s plenty of reasons and I foresee big problems in the future for the company the way they’re going over the past few months.
Hope they get those problems fixed. Doubt it will happen, though. They re-hired a couple of game playing kids who they originally “let go”… 1 comes around to promote his friends products and uses his moderator powers to delete nay-sayers comments (especially if they’re a little bit of a major reality check!) and the other is (supposedly) 19 years old and plays games on Private Messages. He now comes around because (supposedly) he’s owed money by someone on the forums… so he makes sure he’s there to “expose” the guy all the sudden… shows how well they take care of their forums, which are a vital part of their organization.
See the direction the company is headed? The “higher ups” have been warned by too many people and they continue to let these characters come back on the forums… over and over again.
It’s sad. Ray Benc spent too much time to let his company go to waste, didn’t he?
I feel like a year and half has been wasted. But it hasn’t. I learned quite a bit in the process. Hopefully others did too.
Oh well.
It was fun while it lasted.
I will also have some big news after the weekend. I’m just working on getting everything ready before giving the info out.

I love reading quotes written by Inspirational beings/Philosophers.
One of the most inspirational, in my opinion, is Niccolo Machiavelli. His philosophy may have been a little violent to some but war and words are very different.
Check out these quotes:
Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.
Niccolo Machiavelli
I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.
Niccolo Machiavelli
No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Tardiness often robs us opportunity, and the dispatch of our forces.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The question is, then, do we try to make things easy on ourselves or do we try to make things easy on our customers, whoever they may be?
Niccolo Machiavelli
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Hate is a strong word. I rarely use it. But I absolutely hate the news. I find it sickening how they reach for (and usually manipulate) viewers emotional ties relating to objects for their own gain.
I hate hearing about how Bush is a great president on some channels and a terrible president on others. I hate hearing about Paris Hilton. I truly do.
But somehow I got sucked into watching the news today because I was so tired from work last night that I didn’t even want to get up to get the remote while I was eating my lunch.
Then they started talking about…none other than Paris Hilton and how she was crying about being in Jail and probably even talking about her food intake, etc…who knows – not me. I literally shut down when they start talking about her or Bush.
But then as they continued talking about Celebrities for about 10 minutes they spoke about 1 man who saved a shooting victims life… Cuba Gooding Jr.
Yes, Cuba Gooding Jr. saved a mans life in Hollywood when he came to the mans rescue – got towels from a local restaurant to stop the bleeding, flagged down a passing car and took the guy to the hospital.
Wow! The guy is a hero!
But … WTF?!?!?!?! WE HAD TO SIT THROUGH PARIS HILTON JAIL TIME WAR STORIES BEFORE HEARING ABOUT THIS!?!?!?
W.T.F. is right.
1 Celebrity saves a life … another is a Waste of life — yet we hear about the wasted life first!
Interesting.
THIS is why I hate the news.

Still not sure about his name yet but we’re thinking RALPHIE. ? or maybe Rocky? He answers to both… then again he answers to Dummy, too. He’s 1/2 Maltese and 1/2 Yorkshire Terrier (Yorky). They call them “Morkys” and some refer to them as “Malky’s”.
Max, the half husky-half wolfdog was going crazy when he seen me walking this dog. He’s very jealous and I’m not going to be letting him anywhere this little guy for quite a while.

Silvio Dante and Bobby Bacala, both Sopranos characters are dead!
On the show, of course. Hence “the characters”. I knew this episode would be crazy but DAMN… it’s kinda sad! haha.
Actually, they straight up WACKED Bobby! He got shot like 10 times… Silvio got shot like 3 times but Paulie told Tony that he was told that he probably wouldn’t make it.
Next week is going to be insane… more than a Nail biter as it will be the Series Finale 
I have a feeling that Paulie is going to setup Tony in the Finale.
