Welcome to Wick's Weblog. Here you will find much randomness from food, sports and maybe some technology thrown in there. If you have any ideas you want me to talk about or ask about, just contact me. I'll be glad to do some research.

So….

If peeps are actually reading this, I’m just letting ya know what this whole “Multimedia Message” postings are. I have installed a plugin into WordPress that will allow me to send emails to my blog. So I’m sending emails via MMS through my phone, and they end up with the title Multimedia Message. So there ya go…I can post blogs on the fly via my phone. Yeah its nerdy, but yeah I may be somewhere and snap a pic with da phone and there ya have it, its posted on my blog. Yes, it is cool.

So MSU is 1-4, outlook of the season is looking kinda grim. But still gonna have faith in them. I think we can we can pull out 3 more games, and scoop up one more in the process. A six win season after this start will be a major win for the program.

Work going ok these days since I am working on new, interesting stuff. Yes! Well I wonder how long I will keep this up, cause I dunno how many peeps are reading….but its all gravy.

A Nerdy Tip of the Day

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

After reading the man pages for date I could find a way to get yesterday’s date. Well after some handy ole google-ing I stumbled upon this.

This is just in case you wanted to know…A script to find yesterday’s date in Solaris with a little perl tidbit.

perl -e ‘@T=localtime(time-86400);printf(“%02d-%02d-%02d”,$T[5]+1900,$T[4]+1,$T[3])’
Will print out YYYY-DD-MM

Mainly I’m blogging this so I will know where to find this information if I need it at a later date.

Seether

Yeah, Logan took a camera…the bassist for the opening band The State of Shock was a chick…so of course we took pictures with her…I only grabbed the one with me in it. Yeah. I have a video that he took as well, I’ll see about uploading it to YouTube.

Next up on the concert gauntlet, 10 Years and Earshot at the State Theater Oct 3rd, then METALLICA! Yeah not excited about that one. Heading down to New Orleans with some guys and going to have fun and see Metallica. Awesomeness if I must say so myself.

Highlights? Dunno.

Someone thought really hard about this song that they put to these highlights (offensive lowlights).

My New Pet

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

So apparently I have a new pet around the house these days. If you know me, I am not a cat person what so ever. Don’t even get near them if I can basically because I am allergic to them and also they are creepy creatures. But anyways, here is a pic of ole PP.

PP

3-2

Monday, September 15th, 2008

So the MSU/Auburn game ended 3-2 on Saturday (9/13). It was only the 7th time in history that such a football score has occurred. The last time this score happened was in 1965. Thats back when the offensive schemes weren’t as complex as they are today. But from the look of things Saturday, the schemes I saw weren’t all that difficult. I saw two very fast and good tackling teams. It was one of the better losses I’ve seen MSU play. The defense deserved that win. But props to Auburn’s denese who played a helluva a game. Next up is Georgia Tech who runs the triple option. Can’t have any missed assignments on defense with this offense and we at unfriendly territory. Go Dawgs!

Trying this out

Friday, September 5th, 2008

So, here is the dealio. I have tried to blog on myspace, blog on blogger and what not, then I thought I have this domain and I have this web space that I never use. So here I am. I installed Wordpress and am going to customize it and what not and try to be al snazzy and what not. So what I’ll talk about around here is, sports, life, and probably geeky stuff. So then I’ll touch all of these subjects.

Fresh on my mind, is the loss Mississippi State took against Lousiana Tech. Yeah I was devestated. Special teams hurt, I believe we didn’t run the ball enough. But who am I? I’m no coach, no player, just a very big fan of MSU. I am football season ticket holder, I have been thinking about joining the bulldog club (on the very very cheap level), but right now its just not the time for me to be donating money to a school. Kinda funny I work at the university so I am just going to give it right back? HA! Well, my two cents about the game this weekend. We need to install new non-vanilla offensive plays, pound Dixon all night and need to throw the ball at least a deep ball once a quarter. With the loss of Jamar Chaney, that senior leadership on the field will be missed. Pegeus is back for some redemption from being suspsended for the La Tech game. So, there we go…Go Dawgs!

Life…yeah not much going on…cause work has been the major part of it. But its all gravy.

Nerdy stuff….well thats what my job consists of and thats bees it. I’ll have more to come later.

Holla!
