One of the few times you'll see me attempting to play DDR.  I think I'm doing the polka or something.

This one looks like Teri and J.J. were posed for a nice picture, then I randomly showed up at the last second.

J.J. decided I should post this one, because I look oh so happy and Claire is giving the look of death.  Unfortunately at this image size you can't fully appreciate the look of death, but you get the idea (I'll probably get whacked in the head for posting that).

What else occurs in the past ohhhh 2 years or so?  Well I graduated, am now in grad school, still work for FEH, bought a car, bought a condo, now might be going for my PhD eventually, working on some cool robotics controller I designed from scratch, and probably more things I'm not remembering right now.  Today was the last day of class for spring quarter, so I'm pretty tired, have 1 more project to finish so not much will happen to the site quite yet.  At least I put something new on this page.  w00t!

I meet Amber in Florida, not expecting anything more than friends.  Amber and I end up getting serious real fast.  I have a wonderful time with her... the best time I've ever had with any girlfriend.  I visit my grandparents and have fun with them.  My grandma dies 2 days before I was supposed to leave (and the night I was originally going to leave).  I go home and spend Christmas with my family.  I drive back to Florida to visit my grandpa again and then spend New Year's with Amber, having a wonderful time again.  I come back to OSU and start another quarter with 5 grad classes, then decide to drop 2 of them and just graduate next December.  I see Amber one more time - I fly to see her this time.  Amber kisses some other guy she just met the next weekend and I find out about it.  I drive down there to see her again the next week and she breaks up with me.  I spend the next couple weeks being extremely depressed and some of my good friends try cheering me up which has been nice of them.  Thanks guys! :)  Then recently I went out on a date with Liz and had a fun time, and I'm going to see her again this coming Saturday so that should be fun.  I still think about Amber though and wish she would talk to me.  She just ignores me or doesn't say much anymore.  I don't know what I want right now, but Liz wants to spend time with me and Amber doesn't, so I'll take that as a sign of what direction I should move in.  Amber I still have kept my promise to you though, and I don't want to change that (if you remember what I promised).  Only time will tell I guess though.

Yea I haven't put anything new here in a LONG time.  That is because I have been EXTREMELY busy being screwed over by certain EE professors and certain girls which we won't name, but those who tell me they want to do something on a Saturday night and then stand me up.  But that's ok, because I have friends that actually WANT to do something with me.   Other than that there is nothing tooooo exciting happening at the moment.  School is school as usual.  Social life is the same except for certain girls being stupid. 

OK I think the world has turned upside down recently... but at any rate a lot has happened in the past 2 months... I of course kept seeing Erin, and ran into some trouble with talking to her ex-boyfriend online while also finding out that she is still in love with him... so at this point I don't know what is going on.  Erin's also having her cancer treatment stuff done for the next week so I haven't talked to her really since this past Saturday.  That's what is going on there...

The world will never be the same now after Sept. 11th.... I was at work and just got my tuition reimbursement approved even though I had turned it in 6 days late... then my supervisor came up to me and said "Hey, do you know someone just flew a plane into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon?"  Of course I didn't believe her, but I ran out to the lunchroom to watch the TV.  I still don't think it has all set in... unbelievable!  This will only cause a call for tighter security, and give some people a reason to take out their anger and frustration on the innocent people.... but I guess that is what to be expected after an event like this.  School starts Wednesday (the 19th).  Let's hope everyone gets home in time to get to class (Lil Jenny and Cindy particularly).  Good luck everyone.... and stay out of trouble!  God help our nation... 

What an interesting weekend I've had so far.... I went out on a date with Erin and that was tons of fun... then Erin decided she wanted to spend the night at my place which was fine with me so we just stayed up really late watching TV and chatting and such but we NEVER MADE BABIES - that is a good thing!  So around 8am this morning I get a call from Erin's mom saying her dad is at my front door waiting for Erin and he is VERY MAD so I'm like OK I thought it was alright for Erin to spend the night but I wake her up and get her to the door and by that time her dad is already back in the car waiting for her.  Erin leaves with her dad then her mom calls me back about 3 minutes later.  I try to explain to her mom that we had done nothing bad but her mom refused to believe me and told me to NEVER set foot on her property again or she will get me for trespassing....

So the question here is... what have I done wrong?  I apologize if it was truly my fault. 

Other than that work is work, money is money, day is day, and night is sleeptime.  That's bout all for now... peaceout. 

Well school is out for the summer! woooo hoooo!  Too bad my internship ended up not being there for me like I had planned... but that's ok because now I get to learn how to be a telephone bill collector!  I'm gonna collect lotsa bills and kick some debtor butt... or something like that.... other than that Matt is alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way down in Texas doin his lil groove thang with dana now and I'm up here all by my lonesome.  Oh well I don't have to worry about taking my socks off! 

Nothing much new to report at the moment.  Classes aren't overly exciting but they keep me busy too.  I survived last week's fit of the flu without dying.  Besides that my computers have been randomly breaking.  Let's hope that has stopped now.  Oh yea let's hope there are jobs out there for Matt and I this summer.  Matt's job already got cut and I currently don't know if I have a job or not.  I'll know next week for sure though.  Last month's word was BEEF!  This month's word appears to be WERD.  Original?  I dunno but good enough for me right now.  I started updating my original website - it has a brand new theme... go check it out! 

Another weekend is coming up... and students again have a reason to party... Cinco de Mayo.... let's hope for no more riots because I really don't want the city to put a curfew on us all....  Other than that everyone survive school and hope for a fun exciting summer (with jobs!). 

Well now that I got the domain renewal reminder, I know when Plocmstart was officially "born."  June 4th is the day we will celebrate with all joy the wonders of Plocmstart!  Actually we'll probably forget and think about a few days later, then go on with our lives, but hey it's nice to be optimistic isn't it?

Well now it's time to not be optimistic for a moment.  Some people have not made me happy recently.  Those who will remain anonymous that live up the street seem to be neglecting inviting other people that live down the street to various events, including movies and such.  Now I love a good movie, but I've seen a total of about 2 since the new year.  I'd see more if I were invited, and I know others have gone to more movies.  Does anyone remember the two guys down the street?  Does anyone still read this even?  Guess we will see.

Well with that said, not much else is going on.  The MP3 player has had a bit of progress.  I added the wonderful, new "WTF" page.  Classes have kept many busy, but having nothing to do on a Saturday night besides homework has become monotonous.

Well here's the deal.  It's finals week.  Everyone loves finals.  Let's have a party!  Or something like that... at any rate Thursday is my birthday and Matt's is Saturday, and we're both going to be 21... so how about a keg... of koolaide!  I don't think I'm going to be able to find one.  So we'll just go out to eat instead.
Looooooooook  Oooooooooh!  The Messageboard!!!!  It's brand new!!!! And it's working again.  So check that out... and register your name and post to it!  Because posting to the messageboard is full of meaty goodness. 
And finally, I hope everyone has a wonderful exciting Spring Break doing whatever you do best on your break... whether that be travelling to Israel or playing basketball in your driveway or going to the doctor to have your wisdom teeth brutally removed from your mouth (sorry John).  For me I'm trying roaming the streets of DC for a few days, then coming back here, then hanging at Matt's place for a few days (and spending some time with Ellen).  

Then we get to start yet another quarter of fun fruity goodness....

Plocmstart's birthday is also coming up here soon.  I don't remember what month it was exactly this whole thing started, so I suppose we could make it some funny date like April Fool's Day....

 Hey I'm still alive! believe it or not I'm still floating around, haven't had a lot to say in the past few days, but great news.. I'm quitting my job! I'm finally gonna be out of the source of everything that is wrong with my life right now =D. Anyways, take it easy guys -bubu

So yea that holiday is coming up... the one where people have lots of sex! Errr wait well Valentines Day is coming up in a week anyways.  My calendar also informs me that it is "National Condom Day" on the same day.  Maybe I'm not as insane as one might think!  OK that might be pushing it.  Anyways click over there for a night of ummmmmmmm whatever.

Matt made Dana a CD last night with Ethernet drivers on it to resurrect her computer and Matt decided to name the cd "Dana is Sexy"  Well I just happened to look at Dana's webcam tonite and what do I see but that darn CD again.  Dana you really are secksi :P 

Ahhhhhh 2 midterms this Friday! Not da cooo-est!

Hey kids, finally gonna post again, it's been about a week but not a lot has been going on, just doing the school bit, the job bit, and the sitting on my butt bit.  Weird as it is, I got a date tonight! woohoo! go me =), I hope it all goes well, the girl I'm going to see is pretty groovy, and I think we'll hit it off 

Other than that, Winter sucks =\ I'm really looking foreword to summer again and nice warm weather =), hope everything is going good for you guys who read this site. -bubu

Nothing too exciting to report in the past couple weeks.  Well OK maybe there is.  But girls are just crazy like bubu is saying.  Anyways I got me a new girl yay woohooo go me I'm so happy! BUT I'm not telling anyone unless they ask me or they find out on this page! Just to see if anyone actually reads this thing!!

Hey guys, just got in a few hrs ago, and feeling pretty down, and for a lack of anything better to do I figured I'd post my troubles here, for the what? 3 readers that might hit this site a month.. 

Anyways, the classic tale, I'm really into a girl she wants nothing to do with me, add another fun twist on it, I'm on a roller coaster of her acting like she's into me then her coming around and pulling a 180 and acting like she isn't, I dunno I guess I should just grow up and quit worrying about it and move on right?  Yeah I dunno I probably should, but it's just hard when you're living it.. ah well I'm just rambling again guess I'll end this -bubu  

Hey sweet hearts! New poster! I can tell you're all excited about the uhm.. valuable text I'll be putting up here.  Just to kick stuff off my name is Thomas.  I live here in Hell's Armpit (okay, so it's actually southern Indiana).  Mainly I'm a big nerd, and I guess if you're reading this, then more power to you.  More to come as I think of it.   -bubu 

Blop! Well what a fun night at Kibby's that was.  Of course after the party I ended up spending the entire night up watching cartoons with Matt's friend :)  And she still left her star here on my desk.  Guess i'll have to keep it in a good place until she comes back.  You can see the pictures I took at http://bb.plocmstart.com/picarchive/newyears_2001/ Some of them are very interesting, but nothing your mother couldn't see :)  Be sure to check bitchbox often since it gets updates more than this page, and you can start posting on the messageboard again! I didn't set all that stuff up for nothing! OK now everyone be happy and stuffs cuz now it's the REAL new millenium.

I know I'm a bad person and everything and you'll never forgive me and all that jazz but oh well such is life!  Let's see... finals are over so everyone's bored out of their minds! Well everyone go wash their socks multiple times... because you'll hafta wear more than one pair this winter... I think it's gonna be a cold one.  Oh yea DSL sucks too... I'm still waiting on my $250 installation rebate AND it's been broken since the beginning of Decembers.... modems=suck. One more thing... expect a new theme for this place sometime soon... unless I suddenly become uninspired... but I need to do something creative so here we go wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Plocmstart.... the world's best unindexed website in the world!  Try searching for plocmstart on any major search engine... you won't find it!  Woohoo we're #1!!!! I guess that could be a good thing... depending on how many people we want to know about this insanity.  It be that time to move around for Fall quarter again!  Don't forget to pack extra socks!  Bitchbox will be down the end of this week... aka no stats, music, or webcam.  You'll live.  I know you will.  And when you live thru it Bitchbox will have 64MB more memory thanks to Matt!  He's the big winner of the donate-ram-to-bitchbox contest! It's costing me a UPS though... but those are cheap for me.  -BigPoo

I guess breaking up is the theme of the summer.  I'm now single again *sigh*  Guess I'll survive.  On another subject... does anyone out there have an extra 64mb of memory?  The wonderful server that gives u them mp3s and the webcam and those IRC stats just doesn't have enough memory to run everything it needs to.  That's one of the reasons the mp3s aren't always on.  Another is hard drive space, but I'll be taking care of that soon.  So if you want to donate to the Plocmstart computer fund (maybe tax-deductable I have no idea) email me!  -BigPoo

Well we survived Kibby's 21st birthday which was yesterday.  To see all the pictures I took you can look here.  I'll have some video, and probably picture captions up here sometime soon.  Other than that, I'm still pretty tired from staying up till about 5am yesterday.  -BigPoo

Now we have Plocmstart Radio... well sorta.  It's just me playing a bunch of music from Bitchbox2 and there's a little thingy that displays what song is now playing on the messageboard page.  I tried to put it on this page but it was just getting too complicated and I won't take the time to explain it so just believe me hehe.  There's a couple new pics on the Mo Pics page... probably the last pic of Kibby before he becomes a really old bastard.  Look for more videos coming soon too.  -BigPoo

Well not really wow... I just haven't put anything here lately so I guess it's kinda wow that something new is here.   Anyways my feets are sore... working 12 hours yesterday then another 8 today sure wears me out.  I got a new digital camera though from all my hard working!  Now I have a camera that can actually take pictures in more than just blinding light.  Look for more new funny good-lookin pics soon! -BigPoo

The webcam is back... same with the irc stats... if anyone looks at those.  It's dark in here.  Maybe that's cuz I have all the lights out.  It's nice when it's dark sometimes.  Woman was over here till round 1 last nite cuz she got herself drunk.  Then she had ta make her home in my bed but she finally go home and I get some sleep for work today... at least I didn't fall asleep on the job! *whew*  -BigPoo

Well today is my day off... woohoo I slept in till about 1 today but it felt good since I was up till after 4 last nite... but now we have a webcam!  It's usually pointing out my window or maybe sometimes inside my room if someone convinces me it's worth it to turn it around :) But umm that's about all for now.  Have fun looking at ta parking lot! -BigPoo

Jennifer thought it would be fun to bring some alcohol over here last nite and have a lil party... I dunno what she be thinking but I'm still feeling fine today.  Anyways if any of you want a free @plocmstart.com email address and I know yas let me know... I think I'll set up a form actually... and you can just fill that out and give you an email address.... and that be the coo-est!!! -BigPoo

Nick went insane today and cleaned the whole apartment..er.. house as Kibby calls it so if anyone wants to come over and party we're all ready now!!!  Dana's computer is also very ghetto.  We went and bought a new motherboard for it and it's still acting up... also here's some nice pics of her Pentium 3 processor... it looks like a pull from a Slot-1 card that was resold on the black market... I've never seen such a generic mounting job by Intel. -BigPoo

Looks like the cpu die is just mounted upside down against he PCB with some glue.

Closer up you can see the wires in the PCB that go to the pins on the back of the CPU.

Hey we gots a IRC chat again on top of the messageboard.. just like old times eh?  Get mIRC or Pirch and join us on irc.linkline.com in #17thfloor, or if you want to not download anything you can just go to irc.linkline.com and join us through java chat... but I really recommend mIRC or Pirch. I got bored the other day and the neighbors were having a party so I took some pics of them partying.  You can see those here.  OK das all. -BigPoo

Took a couple pics today since there isn't much else to be doing around here.  Also check out the page of me tearing apart the original bitchbox... that was fun.  Don't worry though.. bitchbox is back in one piece and happily running linux now :) Here's a pic out my window from my room

OK das all for now.  Everyone be having a fun summer I hope! -BigPoo
