  1. Z-Chess Beta

    Well, I finally buckled down and finished it. Z-Chess is ready to go! It's a real-time two player chess game. Just find a friend, sign up and get a game going. Right now it's still in beta testing and may be a little buggy, but it's playable (when the server isn't being all erratic).

    I wrote it because I like playing chess with my friends. We're all spread out across the country now, so there's no way to play in person, and Yahoo chess is ugly and distracting (banners). I've made Z-Chess to be aesthetically simple, yet extensively functional. I hope you'll agree.

    It should work fine, but if something DOES go wrong, try closing your browser and coming back. As long as one person stays in the game, it won't disappear off the list.

    Oh, and another thing: if you find that it won't let you move a piece to a place you normally could, IT'S NOT A BUG! You'd be moving yourself into check, and the game treats it the same way as if you tried to move a rook diagonally.

    Anyway, be on the lookout for bugs (and a man called X) and give me a holler if you find any. Enjoy! :-)

  2. the surprise

    I woke up with the intention of taking a piss and going back to sleep. And who should I meet in my bathroom? Only the biggest and meanest son of a gun this countrystate has ever seen. Blah, I can't believe these things come in this size. Is nothing sacred anymore??

    it's a keeper!

    BTW, I'm still plugging along on that Chess thing in the few hours I'm awake daily. The chat function is turning out to be a bitch, but it's coming. Okay, peace...

  3. mononucleosis

    Well if it seems as if there haven't been any updates for awhile, it's because I've been sick in bed with mono for the last week. I'm a bit better now, on the recovering side (as opposed to the semi-suicidal immobile side) and it's back to work.

    Coming real soon is ZChess- the online multiplayer chess extravaganza. I know I've been saying that for awhile, but now I'm actually well enough to finish it. Give me a week. The non-fuctional version is already posted!

  4. rage

    Wow. What a novelty to be regular and not shitting on five day intervals. That's one thing I won't miss about dorm food.

    But all is not well. I am overflowing with an unusual amount of rage. A fair amount is alright--it's what pushes me to be creative. But this is stifling.

    I'm back in homophobic midwest shithole undefined. My best friend is leaving. I don't feel close to anyone anymore. Bitch bitch bitch.

    At least I would still make a good drug addict.

  5. back home to undefined

    Yes it's true... I'm back in undefined for the summer. It's good to be home, although I already miss all my friends in Santa Cruz. My travels went well except for this $25 overweight luggage fee cuz my bag was 15 pounds over the 50 pound limit. Oh well. Worse things have happened to better people. Like poor old Ronald. Hopefully this summer will be nonstop excitement and entertainment. The Insplackible undefined and I will be making lots of awesome music, the likes of which the world has never heard. Music page. There shall be lots of time to make undefined.

    Speaking of that, I've made a couple of minor modifications to a few pages to make them run better. Most notably the homepage now has a "loading" screen while it's loading. The damn thing is 40 kilobytes of source code, and often the page would render before the scripts were loaded leading to Javascript glitches. No more. Other minor stuff will go unnoticed in the vast sea of human consciousness, much like the rest of this site. BAH.

    I have enclosed a picture of myself looking cracked out.

    Ok, bye bye!
