Tidbits

* My niece Brittany worked as a page in Charleston on St. Patricks Day. Kim has put a few Media Files up the days event up on her website. I'm very proud of her, she looked very professional.



* I bought another car yesterday, I traded the Corsica in on a Cavalier RS. The Cavalier I think is a solid deal, Gerald managed to put me in a car that will actually be a pleasure to drive two hours a day in. It has a 3.1 Liter engine 5-speed for a small car, so it has a good bit of "Get Up and Go."

* Jean and I went to the Country Inn last night for some of Nick's wings and to visit everyone.

* Nick bought a Toyota Tacoma truck the day before I bought my car. We took a little ride in, it looks like a real sweet truck that's easier on gas mileage than his old truck.

* Amy is going to take an eighteen day vacation to Chicago. She is going to fly out of Pittsburgh to Chicago April 5th to visit her Aunt Samira. I have a feeling she is going to love Chicago.

* Congratulations are extended to JD and Chrissy Lewis, Terri told me last night that Chrissy in the early stages of pregnancy and will be expecting a little Lewis running around in a few months.

* I need to send Randy an e-mail today, I keep intending to but never seem to manage to do it.

* I'm planning on going and visiting Mom today, we have more pictures to scan and maybe add a few pictures to the albums.

* As I'm writing this, I'm also chatting on MSN with Guangzheng Hu in Beijing, China. He's stil trying to talk me into coming to Beijing. For the record, I only pretend to speak Chinese.

* I think the snow is done for the year!! Did I ever mention I hate snow?

* P.S. Since I posted this, I finally sent Randy an e-mail. Hopefully a few others can follow up and do the same, this is a heck of an accomplishment he's in the middle of doing.

Survivor Night

Well, because the NCAA Basketball Tournament will dominate the TV tomorrow, Survivor will be broadcast on Wed Night this week.

I have started a Survivor Thread on my forum for those who wish to discuss, complain or just gather and say something about the show. I welcome everyone's comments, if you have not already done so please sign up for an account.

This weeks episode starts off by showing how bad the survivors at the Ulong tribe. After tribal council, they managed to get lost in the woods and the weather didn't help much. When they made it back to their shelter they ended up sleeping in a bunch of mud.

For the rewards challenge, Jeff told them that the winners of the rewards challenge was going to eat that night, only it would be at Tribal Council. Both tribes will be forced tonight to visit tribal Council and vote a member out. The challenge was a swimming obstacle course where you had to work as a team to retrieveSaki Bottles at the bottom of the beach and had to gather a total of six of them to win the rewards challenge. Ian Rosenberger showed he was a very strong swimmer and gave the victory to Koror.

At Koror's very first tribal council, Willard Smith was the first member of the tribe to be voted off the game. After tribal Council, Willard gave everyone a word of encouragement before everyone crossed over to the Jury side to eat stewed bread and rootbeer while Ulong sat through for their tribal council.

At Ulong's tribal council, you could see that they were all getting very frustrated having to watch Koror eat while they continued their losing streak and had to vote yet another member of the tribe out. They all seemed to be blaming everyone else. Before the Vote, Koror voted once again, this time they were allowed to vote who from Ulong was to be given immunity from the vote. They voted to give Ibrehem Rahman, who ironically was who I thought the Ulong tribe was going to vote out, but instead he has been given immunity fior this vote.

When it was Ulong's turn to vote, they voted to a tie with Bobby Jon Drinkard and Angie Jakusz. The remaining three players voted again and voted off Angie, who was king of my darkhorse favorite. She was the last player chosen from the tribe, but was one of it's strongest players.

A side note, the show is on next Wed Night once again because of the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

Job Offer

Yesterday afternoon was filled with a good bit of excitement for me, I officially received a job offer from VARGIS to go work for them in Frostburg, Maryland. I interviewed there last week and felt real good about coming out of the interview.

Yesterday those feelings were justified when I received the official offer that I am accepting. It's just a small matter of dotting the i's and crossing the t's. I was having server problems yesterday as were they, so it should be finalized this morning. The entire employment package has already been discussed and negotiated where it is feasible for me to accept this offer.

In more than one way, I feel like I won something. Not so much the job, but I have stayed the path and tried to get a job in my particular field of study that I have worked four years in college getting some great hands on experience from some of the best teachers anyone could ever wanted to have had. Many college graduates never work in their field of study, to me this is what I wanted to do and have not been distracted looking for employment in other fields.

My official start date is Monday April 4th.

Welcome Home

To the Big East Tournament runners-up West Virginia Mountaineers.













































Sunday Mornings

I tend to love the early morning hours. A time when the rest of the world is sleeping and I am wide awake.

Today should be a nice relaxing Sunday that starts out as all my Sunday mornings do with a nice little grocery shopping trip to Super Wal-Mart in Grafton. I go there every Sunday and I think I enjoy the nice little peaceful twenty minute drive along an old country road the most.

It's a time you can just tune in the radio. I really enjoy the Sunday Morning program when they pick a year and dedicate the entire hour to music dedicate to that year during that time slot.

I did manage to get everyone's pages completed yesterday for my website and I also switched the new design to the main directory so that it is now the page that loads when you use my George-Hall.Net name. I already had the formatting for each page done and the script to change the pictures when you revisit. I'll add additional pictures for everyone eventually, but I used a format when everyone has a picture of them displayed at the top of the page and then I tried to write a little something about each person. It's currently set up where everyone has two images that load with their page, that way theoretically it looks different every time you visit. If you want to see an example, just hit "F5" on your keyboard and it will reload the page.

I think navigation should be a little easier for everyone and can even help you understand who is who and who has what kids just by using the navigation.

Saturday Morning Tidbits

* I love the weekends, it gives me achance to relax and reflect upon the week that has passed. I think I'm going to wotk on my website a little more today.

* Congrats to the WVU Men's basketball team.

* I am changing this into a tidbits post now because I have some additional things to say.

* I have taken my new website live now, It's not completely done, but it's at a point where I can publish it and add on to it from here. I have the skeleton of all immediate family members web pages up, just got to do the write-ups of everyone. I think the stumbling block is writing about people that are still alive. Sheeesh. I'll get it though.

* I have made a few changes to the Forum, I have added a few sections and am going to try to generate a little bit of traffic for the site. It's a great tool and should be a great way for everyone to keep in touch with each other and discuss a few common topics. Kim, Pam, George, and Mark have all signed up today. I have started a TV thread for us survivor lovers to discuss and a Humor section to post jokes or funny websites.

* I still haven't got the links sorted out, but I will get it eventually. If you want to see my old links page it is still HERE in case there is a link you want to go to.

* I also created my own unique Logo for the forum, I showed Kim how to do it a few weeks ago and wanted to do one for myself.

Nice long nap

Yesterday after I got home from my interview with VARGIS I ate a quick dinner and laid down on the couch to relax. I was half way tempted to go to take a walk on rails to trails, it was a semi-nice say and I was full of energy. So I thought.

next thing I know it's like 2:00 AM and I had missed survivor. I can't believe it, I missed my favorite television show.

My day started off pretty nice, Jean and I went to Frostburg a little early to drive around and get a look at the city. It's a small town of about 8,000 people. We drove around the Frostburg State campus. It was a beautiful campus and very nicely laid out.

The city is very small, but I think he word that first comes to mind in serene. It was a beautiful place and I felt very relaxing. I'll keep everyone updated.

I can't believe I missed Survivor though. For anyone wanting an update as to what happened on the show Look Here to get a recap.

Mid-Week Tidbits

* Mother Nature has not been kind to me, kind of teasing me with some nice warm 60 degree weather before she plummets another storm upon us. Spring is right around the corner and it's getting time to hit the softball field before long.

* Just a little reminder for Randy. I'm sure he loves getting everyone's e-mails. Reminder to myself, write him when I finish this BLOG entry.

wvchallenge@wvchallenge.org

* I have been working on the formatting of my new design for my website, I've made a few changes from my original template that I had up. A lot of it has to do with easy of navigation for the visitor. A friend of mine at work showed me a nice JavaScript for the menu. Having this in there makes it look better and easier to navigate. Of course I'm doing a lot more pages, basically one for everyone in the immediate family. HERE it is, but it is still in the design and construction phase, so please be patient. Mark showed me a nice little variable for displaying pictures that I'm going to implement on all the family pages. Itg gives each page a little variety and allows me to easily add things to each page.

* Wish me luck tomorrow, I have an interview with Vargis, I'll keep everyone updated as to how well it went.

* WVU Mens basketball team enters the Big East basketball tournament tonight. We need to beat Providence and try to pull the upset and send top seeded Boston College a rude goodbye from the Big East.

* Kim has been under the weather a little bit this week, I' want to wish her a speedy recovery and hope she feels better.

* Speaking of Kim, she got her Mary Kay
buisness off and running this past weekend. She seems to feel she's off to a good start, wishing her luck.

* Mark Devault has entered the world of Blogging. It should be a nice little tie in to his databases.

* My next door neighbor and co worker John Robards wrecked his Jeep on his way to work a couple dasys ago. He's fine, but his Jeep is going to need a little bit of work.

Wish me luck

I have an interview this Thursday in Frostberg, Maryland. I really don't know a whole lot about the company other than what I learned over the internet and a brief phone call. The company is called Vargis and the position will be doing some photogrammertry work. I don't have a whole lot of experiance in it, but I have played with it a little.



Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck.

Site overhaul

My website has sat dormant long enough and I felt that it was time to update and change it. I think I have the general shell of it up, but not completely. It still has a lot of tweaking and fine tuning to do to it before I make it the primary set of pages for George-Hall.Net.

In the last coupe of years everything I have done for my sites has been done in Frames. It was a nw litle trick I had learned a few years ago, but most people that I talk to tend to not like frames, so I am redoing my site with a completely different theme and no frames.

I have to send a thank you to Mark Devault for writing the code I needed for my startup page. It's been a trick that he has used for years on a lot of his pages that he designs where you have an image, or a set of images that are variables. Everytime the page loads or is refreshed there is a different image that is displayed. I liked the trick and feel it offers a little variety to the page.

I haven't completely finished the new site as of yet and I've just started to re-do the links page (talk about a complete mess) and start to publish it, but the majority of the site is at a Temporary Location for right now, or at least until I get done tweaking it to how I want it to look.

I have made a half dozen attempts to redo the site over the past few months, but have never got this close to completion as I have on this new design. There always seemed to be something along the line to make me scratch the project at some point or the other.

I'll keep everyone updated as to when I actually publish the new site, remember this is a temporary location. I have a lot of tweaking to to and may even add a few PHP features while trying to teach myself to write PHP.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Survivor Night

Once again, it is Thursday night and time for Survivor again. This is the third week of the show for this series. It's time again for the Ulong Tribe and the Koror Tribe do once again do battle and try to send the other tribe to tribal council while maintaining all the members of your tribe.

I checked the early poll results before the show and people are saying that Tom Westman is the early voters favorite to be the sole survivor.

The reward challenge was a swimming battle obstacle course free for all where teams were trying to swim out, retrieve a lifesaver and try to put the lifesaver onto a floating pole, while preventing the other team from putting their lifesaver up on their pole. Ulong dominated the challenge and won all three rounds of the free for all. For the second week in a row, Angie Jakusz, who was the final player chosen in week one when teams were decided, dominated the event and put on a dunking exhibition of the opposing players in the water during the challenge. Reward was some extra clothes and some sewing materials.

After the reward challenge, the camera went back to the Ulong tribe, and did a little piece on Bobby Jon Drinkard, who seemed to be doing all the day to day work at the camp that it needs to make it habitable.

Koror got a little bit of love from the cameras when they showed a little piece of when they killed a snake and hung it over a tree dangling over the water. Next thing you know there are a few sharks circling the dead carcass. They never did manage to get a shark, but the thought of a nice shark steak was on their minds.

For the immunity challenge, each tribe was clipped together, each tribe member had to carry an extra twenty pound back with them. If a tribe member can't go on, they must unclip, but their additional weight had to be carried by another tribe member. The two tribes ran around in a circle in the water until one tribe could manage to catch the other tribe. Led by a strong showing from fan favorite Tom Westman Koror won their third straight (out of three) immunity Challenge sending Ulong back to Tribal Council for the third consecutive week. This win give Koror a 9-6 advantage in tribe members over Ulong, Koror members still have not had to light their torches yet.

When Ulong got back to the beach, Jeff Wilson volunteered to be the one sent home. He had sprained his ankle the night before and still couldn't put any weight on it. Other members didn't want to vote for Jeff and made Kimberly Mullen a potential tribe mate to be voted out.

At tribal council and after the voting, Jeff was given his wish and was the third person from Ulong and the fifth overall member voted out of the game.

Tidbits

* Every once in a while, I feel the need to do a tidbits post, considering tomorrow is survivor night I'll do one today.

* First off, Randy has went back to Mountaineer Challenge acadamy a week ago and I've already sent him my first e-mail Sunday. His address is:

wvchallenge@wvchallenge.org
Subject: Cadet Hamrick

* We were supposed to get hammered in snow this week, but we have managed to get just a small portion of what was initially predicted to get. OK, I'm ready for spring.

* Mom had to re-start her BLOG. Seems like she was having some password trouble and just restarted everything.

* My sister Kim changed around the formatting at her BLOG. It changed around all the sidebar information. I guess I was wrong last October when I thought I was Hacked, when in fact it was me who accidentily re-set the account simply by changing the formatting. oops.

* I did manage to get a few older pictures scanned this past weekend, no big surprises but I did manage to get 46 pictures scanned, uploaded and hosted.









* Gary contacted me and asked if there was anything I could do to help his computer. It seems to have become infested with massive amounts of spyware. I gave him three pieces of advice.
  1. Go to his administrative tools and turn off his Messenger Service. It's a network feature that can be used to send "Netsend" messages through an internal network. Easily exploitable by hackers.
  2. I then advised him to go and download Ad-Aware and immunize his system from any spyware that may already exist on his computer.
  3. I then asked him if he was running IE as his browser, (I already knew the answer) and advised him to go and download Mozilla's Firefox. These three things should easily fix his spyware problem.


* Depending on how tired I feel when I get off of work today, I may stop over at Mom's and try to get some more older pictures scanned.

* Lat week, Kim brought me some items that she had canned. I finally broke one of them open trying the salsa, I will honestly say that this is the best Salsa I have ever eaten. Remember I used to be a Potato Chip vendor at one time also.

* I finally got my copy of Morgantown Mahem and was actually won the Autographed Adam "Pac Man" Jones copy of the DVD. Scroll down to the bottom to see that I am the first winner!! Woo Hoo. I guess that makes me forget about the snow for a while. This gives me a regular copy and an unopened autographed copy of a guy predicted to go High first round this spring in the NFL draft. Great little reminder of my time spent at West Virginia University.

* It is over the hump day, we are half-way to the weekend!!!

* I'm getting ready to head to work, did I ever mention to anyone I Hate Snow.

* One post note, I have decided to play another year of softball if I am still in Morgantown all summer. I have thought about it all winter and have decided to leave Heiskell and King/Judies Lounge/Sports Page/Judies/Recourse/Walnut Lane and play with a new team this season. The old team has just had too many faces change and too much inconsistancy for me. I just want to have fun again. I'll be playing for Prime Thyme this summer and returning to playing with a group of guys who have slowly left our core of players we have had for years.

Google is the king of the Internet



A couple of years ago while I was in college, I learned of the best search engine that one could ever imagine. Google was a great search engine, but once I learned how to use Boolean operators and their functions, it really made my web research experience much more enjoyable.



Later on, Google started to expand their services. One of the first things they did that affected me was to introduce GMAIL. They revolutionized internet based e-mail. I used to use Hotmail and they gave you 2 free MB's. Google offered 1,000 MB's of space. Services like Yahoo and Hotmail were then forced to increase the amount of their storage space they made available in fear of losing everything to gmail. Gmail is invitation only still because it is still in the Beta, but if anyone wants a Gmail account let me know, I have 50 to give away.



Next, they introduced Google Scholar this past November. The ultimate search engine for doing academic research. It actually returns your query and it also returns a query on who has cited this source and how many times it has been cited.



Then about a month ago they introduced Google Video. It too is in it's Beta and hasn't been fully published yet. It allows you to search video of TV shows broadcast in your area. I haven't really played with it yet.



The new Beta however is the one that I am really impressed with. As you all know I'm a Geographer and a bit of a mapping nerd. When it came to internet mapping I have always said that Mapquest was the best one to use. Yahoo's was nice, but mapquest just seemed to be the best.....until now. Google has teamed with NAVTEQ to create the most user friendly mapping system I have seen on the internet. It is still in it's Beta and was just recently put online, they are still working the bugs out, but Google Maps has just blown any other internet mapping software out of the water. Give it a try, I'm sure you will find it user friendly and enjoyable to play with.



If you want to see what Google is working on next or what they have in the Beta, just go to Google Labs and you can see what's going to be introduced to the unternet first with the rest of us internet geeks.

If you want to see everything Google can do, just go to Google help.



P.S. I STILL hate snow.

Today's modern technology

OK, maybe this post is a few days late, but I still want to address it before too much time passes by. Last Friday I had a very unique opportunity to meet my cousin Trena over the internet.

My Aunt Bonita in Alaska had asked me if I would send a few of the recent pictures that I had uploaded of my grandmother and grandfather to her daughter Trena.



Recently I had scanned some old rare pictures that had been stuffed in a box somewhere before we added more life to them by scanning them and uploading them to the internet.





After e-mailing her a few of the pictures, I initiated an AOL Instant messenger conversation with her and then told my sister Kim that she was on AOL. Kim quickly installed AIM at home and before you know it the three of us were conversing over the internet.

It was nice to meet a family member that I have never met who lives some 4,000 miles away.

Note to family members in Alaska, I need more pictures.





P.S. I STILL Hate snow.

Ejoy yourself, it is a fun, yet addictive puzzle and even with the solution is kind of tricky. If you play the game all the way through, I know of one place where you will have a little bit of trouble (water pipes), when you screw up you get washed back to the bottom and hear this annoying bird laugh at you. After a few times you feel like choking him.

Finish the game and justice will be served.

Have fun.

Hapland, a neat little puzzle

What a time consuming puzzle and it took me a while to actually beat this. Hapland is a very challenging puzzle. I'll try to break down the solution for you to complete the puzzle.

  1. Start by opening both windows and and turning the hanging arrow around.
  2. Open the hatch and bring out the first stick guy by clicking the arrow pointing up.
  3. Fire rock number one at the 'bridge', it wiil fall into place.
  4. Fire the next rock at the bell. this will open the door on the left.
  5. Next fire the 2 grenades at the bridge, you have to click on the bridge as the grenade reaches it to bat it into the air where it will explode.
  6. Next, fire the blue card/key at the bridge, it will fall into the hole where stick guy 2 can use it.
  7. After guy 2 opens the door click guy one back at the 'cannon', he will be loaded into the cannon.
  8. Bring out stick guy 3 by pushing the UP arrow once more.
  9. Click guy 3 at the cannon to fire guy 1 up at the bell, as he reaches the spear, click the spear to bend it slightly so the guy can land under the bell.
  10. Once guy 1 is on the 'tower' click him to move the tower to the right. Click a few times to make it fall on the spear, launching the rock onto the landmine.
  11. Next, click the door on the left and guy 4 makes his way to the door past where the landmine just blew up.
  12. This is the tricky part: Right before guy 4 gets to the door, you need to click on guy 2 (below) to trigger him to begin walking.
This can be a little tricky and may not be as easy as it appears to be. There are three real tricky parts, the first one is #5. You have to time the grenades just right to pop them into the air. The second tricky part is firing the guy at the spear and having to bend the spear just in time. The final tricky part is #12, you want to get your timing right because there will be a chainsaw guy drop out of the box and attempts to kill guy 2.


I really liked this puzzle, but mu favorite internet puzzle has to be Chasm. This one kept me going for days before I got it figured out, but maybe I'll post the solution to this one another day.

Survivor Night

Well, once again it is Thursday night which means it is Survivor Night. This is week two of Survivor Palau.

This week both tribes managed to get a hold of their flints and managed to make fire. As everyone knows fire is an essential part of the game and it is a key element to their survival.

For the rewards challenge, surprisingly Angie Jakusz dominated the challenge despite being the last survivor picked last week and managed to win fishing gear for the Ulong tribe.

In the immunity challenge, teams were earlier in the day given in a tree mail the secret to Morse Code. Both teams had to have all their member swim out to a pontoon and start diving for objects. Eventually they had to dive down and retrieve a trunk and had to bring the trunk into shore and open it up and solve a Morse code puzzle to win immunity. The Koror tribe managed to win their second straight immunity sending the Ulong tribe to tribal council for the second consecutive week.

At Ulong's second tribal council it appeared to come down to a vote between Kimberly Mullen and Ashlee Ashby as to which member of Ulong would be going home this week. Going into tribal council it appeared it was going to be a 4-4 vote for Kim and Ashlee. After the voting, Ashlee was the second member of the Ulong tribe and fourth player of the game sent home.
