Whoa haven't blogged in a while....
Well stuff has happened I guess, I got a job interview, which I am of the opinion that I screwed up. Hmm whatelse, my driving test is arriving fast, two more weeks and it is upon me.
I have actually completed page 7 of Newstory, I've just taken an exceedingly long time to upload it, should be putting it up tonight, I'm nearly broke, but a couple jobs offered by my parents should see me through as long as I spend wisely.
And I've started planning a new DnD campaign type thing, asian based, instead of the traditional western european setting, which I have been getting tired of.
Also I really wish Creative Assemble would release a sequal to Shogun Total War, they've had four games focusing on europe time for a change.
It's set in my DnD campaign world of Ovaleen, upon the largest continent. This place has had little to no contact with the rest of Ovaleen, and those who visit named it the plains of Endless battle, due to the rapidly shifting political climate, that quite quickly led to wars that would humble any of the great wars fought in the rest of Ovaleen.
The Continent itself is a vast place, and is home to the single greatest concentration of humans on the planet, to the point that there is no other civilised race present on the continent, which is named Zhou Wei by its people. Its people are seperated into several different cultures.
The Zao the primary people of Zhou Wei, live in a collection of kingdoms, that routinely go to war with each other, some disappear, new ones form, it is a very unstable political landscape, all great lords seek to become the Emperor of the Zao. To the east are the vast steppes home to a nomadic and warlike people known as the Yuan, split into tribes, they greatly respect strong warriors and frequently invite strong warriors they face to join their ranks. They are the best horsemen of the steppes, and many fear their raiding parties. Tribes may occaisionally fight each other but not to the same extent as the Zao and Gian.
To the east the Gian, are a highland culture who are skilled sailors, they are like the Zao divided and frequently fight amongst themselves, fighting for the right to rule Gian. They live on a large mountainous outcropping from Zhou Wei, that extends out into the ocean.
To the north are the greatest mountains, and a culture very different from the warlike attitudes of those they consider lowlanders. The Quang live in a peaceful monastic society, where they seek spiritual perfection, without the worry of war, thanks to the unique defence of the very area they live in.
Off the western coast of Zhou Wei lies a large island archipelagos named Oda, made up of four large islands. The Odan a society that developed from pirate colonies into a complex and isolationistic society, that can vary from unparalleled peace to brutal violence. It's people are unique in that they have an emperor, thus making them seem a united country unlike the rest of Zhou Wei. However the emperor is merely a figure head of a country ruled by the Daimyo, various powerful clans that claim territories across the four islands, the symbol of these clans are the elite samurai. The Daimyo make war on each other frequently, with borders changing very frequently, though most of the Daimyo are of near equivalent strength.
Still needs a lot of work, and if you couldn't tell is based off real world asia.
But I've had a lot of fun working on it so far. ...I know I'm a nerd.
I gotta say programming ain't that hard...when I can concentrate on it, I think I spent nearly 3 hours today out of a six hour class, chatting to friends on Gmail, I'm also really enjoying doing php, as first of all, it gets immediate results, the book is much more structured then the java book, with easier to follow questions.
I think I'm falling behind a little with the networks subject, mainly due to the hardware lab, getting messed around with by Cert IIIs, before we go in, and then we have to figure why all our connections need to be redone...GAH!
Then we have project management, which is okay, but mostly consists of us sitting around and listening to our teacher tell us stories from his vast repertoire of experience, surprisingly I feel that I learn a lot from these classes.
Anywho I'll probably update Newstory tonight, and get a couple of Tales comics up, sometime later this week, fully coloured of course.
Anywho thanks folks for reading if ya did, if ya didn't well you didn't read this part so NAH NAH NAH NAH
Sayonara folks!

So do you know what the first P in PHP stands for?
Not a clue
It's Player.
I don't know what the second two are, but the first one is player.
Yay my computer exploded last night!
Exploded exploded or slightly stopped working exploded?
That's what happens when you stick a knife in the power supply. :P
Being serious for a moment, don't forget I have a spare one for you. ;)
I also read the blog, there was things about...stuff.
Hey I had to stick a pencil in the power supply of my old compy to get it to work!
Always the most effective way to jump start a troublesome power supply
