UserTracker V1.0 Update!

I am happy to announce version 1.0 of my userTracker plugin. This new plugin adds the dashboard stats page. Which you can see here

The new features here are the dashboard with pagination, and filtering by user. The filter drop down will also show you how many entries are in the DB for each given user. I have also made the username and the page name URLs to the user’s profile and to the page viewed.

Some upcoming additions will be:

  • Sorting by date, username, page, and IP
  • How long to keep entries, IE: database pruning
  • Controlling how many entries you see on a page
  • Additional information about the users, including referring page, and user agent
  • NsLookup for IP

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know!

You can download version 1.0 from the WordPress plugin directory here also, please view my other plugins here.

$300,000!

Yay. As of today, I’ve made $300,000 over my lifetime! How fun. Now if only I knew where it all went! I have 25% of it saved, so that’s good I suppose. But still, I’d like to have more of it around!

This week has been another busy one. Work work work basically, but also going out and doing stuff.

Monday, I was supposed to go over to my Grandma’s house for her birthday, but my mother decided she didn’t want to drive there, so I hung out with Angel, went to dinner at Okaboji Grill and had a really hot waiter. He sat with us most of the time we were there and chatted about random stuff. I left him my business card, but he never called. 🙁 After that we went and saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was a thrilling movie, but not very good. There was one point where you could CLEARLY see the safety harness of one of the main characters. Went back to her place after that and hung out and then went home.

Tuesday I worked, went out to lunch with Beak at Hu-Hot which was delicious, although our waitress there was dumber then a door knob. Instead of a tip, I wrote in “Bad Service”. lol. Went rock climbing that evening, lots of really hot boys there! Yum yum! I can’t wait till Keira turns 5, I’m totally going to buy her a membership to one of the 3 month long camps they have. After that I went out and did stuff, can’t remember what though. I think I went to Tear it up Tuesday at the Saddle.

Wed I went to Tequila Mexican with Angel, Rick and some other guy. Our waiter was overly gay, but we had tons of fun drinking $1 Margaritas and chatting it up. The waiter was totally hitting on me and shit. Crazyness! After that I went over and met up with this guy Jeremy. He sent me a pic of him that he said was just few years old and he had put on “a few pounds”. So I get over there and the guy is probably 100 pounds heavier then what his pic was. So I’m like, whatever we can hang out for a bit. So we start watching this movie Hostel. About 30 minutes into it, I get up and just walk out. LOL. Really, WTF is wrong with people.

Apparently, I’m an “unbelievably caring guy”. If only someone would realize that and care about me back! 🙁

Thursday I went rock climbing again, I was sooooooo tired, my fingers were killing me, but I was trying out some new moves and stuff and had a good time. I have also been trying to master this one bouldering wall. You start on a vertical wall, switch over to a horizontal wall and then back to a vertical wall. I can get out to the end of the horizontal part, but I cannot make it back to the vertical transition. I lose my grip right on that. I will master it tomorrow! Which is my last chance to try!

Got home from that and chatted with my friend Chris down in Corning. He talked me into coming down and hanging out for the night, so I made the trek down there. He’s a bit of a weather nerd, and last night we had some CRAZY fucking storms down in southern Iowa with tornadoes just 30 miles away, his weather radio was going off all night! It scared the shit out of me when it went off at 4:15am this morning! Anyways, we went out to the lake when I first got there and went hiking and then back to his place where we watched Sugar, which I really didn’t like that much, then we tried watching Gattaca but ended up just laying on the couch watching the lightening and rain! Didn’t get to bed till almost 3am then had to get up early this morning to come over to my Grandma’s house.

I get here and she’s not even here and her cell phone is on the table! Crazy woman!

Tonight I am going out with my cousin to the Saddle again and then tomorrow I am going shooting with my dad.

I leave on Sunday, I am excited to be back in LA, but at the same time I don’t want to leave here. I think that this next week I will be spending a lot of time alone in my apartment, which I feel is very needed. Though, not sure how much time I will really have because I must plan for this camping trip which we leave for on Thursday!

Speaking of camping, there is talk with the rock climbing group of a camping trip out to Santa Cruz Island this summer. I am very excited for that!

A Starfish in the Front Yard

I’ve had this song tucked away in my music collection for years, but never really listened to it. Apparently someone named Chris Ayer sings it, but I downloaded it as part of a Stanford musical collection. It came up on my party shuffle today and caught my ear, so I thought I’d post it…

I saved this song for a rainy day
and I think we’re gonna be okay
cause I’ve got nothing witty left to say
just to stand around and talk about the weather

the fingerpicking changes to slap-pluck style
and we know, that there’s no sense in so much arguing
the world is ending, and no one’s listening
’cause we’ve things between you and me, and god it seems
that everything is always stuck between what’s really happening
and then our voices hit and it’s just “ohh”
and that’s the price of it, and it’s just “ohh”
and everyday that it goes away, and it’s like we say, and it’s not okay
and all we’re left with here today is one last “ohh”

this song is easier than it probably seems,
but in my life, I’ve said a lot of things that I don’t mean
to try and win you over, to try to know my dreams,
and some of the lies that I tried to hide, well their hidden still from me

and there’s a starfish in the front yard, yeah
and he’s sitting there talking ’bout the way, how on a rainy day
even starfish wind up in the front yard, talkin’ how the road was hard
that brought him from the ocean to our lawn on Ambar Way

and then our voices hit and it’s just “ohh”
we’re gonna pay the price of it tonight “ohh”
and there he’s lying there and dying, air is drying out his hide
I think I see a starfish smiling, crying out “ohh”

Come with me down to the sea, by santa cruz
and we can float on funnel cakes, and drown ourselves in booze
sitting in a motel 6, but we’ll never leave the room
we’re singing about those secret things that keep these songs in tune

and then our voices hit and it’s just “ohh”
we’re gonna pay the price of it tonight “ohh”
and everyday that it goes away, and it’s like we say, and it’s not okay
and all we’re left with here today is one last “ohh”

I saved this song for a rainy day
and I think we’re gonna be okay
cause I’ve got nothing witty left to say
just to stand around and talk about the weather

Saddle Up Boys!

Party time in Iowa! I love $4 drinks! How fun! 🙂

This week has been very busy. I’ve been out and about almost every night and working and what not. It’s been crazy.

I’ll just hit the highlights. I went out to the Saddle on Tuesday by myself. But ended up running into a hole bunch of people that I knew, so it was tons of fun chatting it up with them and hanging out and what not. Thursday night I went out to the Saddle again to meet up with Ginny and Brandon. Ran into David again that night and he sat with us the whole night, also ran into this guy Jeremy that I used to know. He and Ginny hit it off talking about runway shows. Jenky and Scott joined up with us later that night. I drank WAY to much on Thursday night, ended the night with lots of shots. Scott was too drunk to drive home, I probably was as well, but either way he came back to my place and we crashed here. I drove him home early Friday morning and then tried doing some work but had a horrible hang over and took a nap most of the day.

Friday night I hung out with Mandy, Zach and Nic. We went to Carl’s which was tons of fun and played darts. Four drunk people playing darts is probably not a good idea. 😉 After that we went and drove the loop on our way to the gay areas. I love the loop, it’s so crazy. Hung out at this random gay bar named Buddies which had some HORRIBLE drag queen, then we went next door to the Saddle again ran into Brian who I haven’t seen in years and last I knew he was “straight”. lol. He was def gaying it up last night. Anyways, some guy was totally hitting on me the whole night, but he was a little older, so whatever.

We’ve been having some CRAZY fun storms and winds the last couple days! It’s been so fun.

This morning my dad and I got up early and headed down to the G&G’s house and started cleaning out the garage. My grandpa has so much shit in there! Tonight I was supposed to go out with a few people, but decided I needed a night at home.

I’m still very bitter with Constantine about what I found the other day. Ugh. Fucking lying boys. I don’t get it. Why can’t anyone be honest. Last night we were out and Mandy was bitching about the same basic thing. Why can’t people our age be monogamous and truthful? It’s really sad and annoying. I am hoping that Constantine will call me so that I can bitch him out… He and I are done until he learns to be honest and how to treat people who he wants to be friends with.

In other bad news, apparently my cousin’s BF is in the hospital… Get well soon Neil!

Tomorrow we are heading back down south to finish up the garage and then start on the tool shed and tomorrow night I am going to a drag show with David and some people. Should be fun! I miss drag shows.

This second release addes a few small features.
