Oh, HELLO! and This is A Website!
This is my online hub of all things related to myself. I try to keep all my pages pointing to this page. So if you want to know more about me, you'll have to do a little digging... :) (Click here for a list of my wiki accounts.)

• A somewhat regularly updated xanga page: http://www.xanga.com/stux7 Note: This is my primary blog.
• If you're on myspace, here's my Myspace space.
• If you go to college, I might see you in facebook.
• My own personal page I've had since 1996: http://www.stux.net/ (well, not the domain, just the page.)
• A factoring project I've been donating my computing cycles to: http://www.elevensmooth.com. My name's somewhere in there too!
• And there's the never-updated Live Journal Page: http://www.livejournal.com/users/stux7/.
• Ok I'm also in bebo, even though my profile is private.
• I just ran into this amazing story. (The actual story is here. Please note that this page contains some vulgar language and may inadvertently contain links to obscene and/or vulgar content. Personal discression is advised.)

I haven't contributed to that last one in a while (in terms of messages, I have not created any entries myself.)

At Home:

• I have gone so far as to install MediaWiki on my own personal Apache web server in my computer (only I have access to it of course), so I can use its documentation feature to um, organize stuff. I hope I can use it as a calendar, notepad, bookmark, TODO list, etc. all while I learned how easy it is now to install this stuff!

Why Not?

So I had this song stuck in my head for the last few days and it occurred to me I could make a game out of this in the spirit of Brighstar's quote thing. Sort of.

Contest #1

Guess what the title of the song is and you get standard-issue game-winning cupcakes. You get special-issue extra-credit cupcakes if you guess who the original singer/band was. This song has been around for a while but has been covered a few times. Without further ado, the hint:

• The Law - 1
• Me - 0

That's it! That's all you get. Leave your guesses in my talk page and I'll tell you if you're right or not. I'm guessing those who've been around a while might get it right away but we'll see! I intend to leave this up indefinitely, and don't yet plan for other similar "contests". Good luck!

Update: The honor of solving this riddle goes to Tom!!!

Contest #2

Okay, so that last one went by quick, and I've wanted to make another, hopefully harder, clue. The clues are meant to be Google-proof, so feel free to use it. This one is for a movie, and as a result I will be extremely vague (the clues are hints for the hints themselves). As customary, to the victor goes the cupcakes. Special cupcakes if you can identify the scene or scenes the clues refer to. So here they are (two words):

• directory.fsf.org - the bird, not the software.
• Long before Alka-seltzer, there was this. Subhint: See my wikipedia edit history.

That's it! That's all you get. Leave your guesses (full or intermediate) in my talk page and I'll tell you if you're right or not. I made a batch of cupcakes and every time I add a hint I eat one myself... yummmm! Good luck!

Update: Congratulations to Trey56 on solving the second puzzle!

Contest #3

So girls and boys, it's time for yet another weird contest. Here's the clue:

What is your Name?

What is your Quest?

What is the 44th Mersenne Prime?

Now for the contest. As always I try to make my contests un-guessable, and I have tried to take this to new heights. This contest is meant to be google proof, so google, ask, cheat away! The rules are simple: there are four questions that I have chosen to be associated with this clue. You must provide all 4 questions (not all at once) along with their respective answers. I have made a batch of 9 cupcakes, one for each question, one for each answer and an "overall performace" cupcake for kicks. No, I'm not playing Sudoku with the cupcakes. For every correct question you get a cupcake, for every correct answer, you get another. As time progresses, unquestioned questions and unanswered questions will get a hint. For every hint, I eat a cupcake. Good luck!

Hint #1:
Well, since this contest has had no brave takes, it's time for a (rather vague) hint. But first, I have a cupcake to eat. Yum! 8 cucpakes left! So anyway, here's the hint:

• Category:Real World References

As I said before don't be afraid to guess or ask questions.
