The TumbLucas

Been a while since I last posted. Time to dish out some updates!

First, EC’s activity is really low. No, actually, it’s dead. This is really saddening. Going to have to work on getting some Postloop points up and fake some activity I guess. Sigh.
Oh, and we had a rise in spammers. My IPB license expired recently and so the spam service is off. Won’t be renewing my license until the next update so I found a hook that uses SFS’s database to block spammers from registering. So far, it’s blocked a hundred or more.

MineBoard is also dead. No one posts much there either. Need to find something to resurrect it with I guess. Not sure what though.

Firmware Repo has been having some decent traffic lately for something recently started. Added LinkBucks to the links so that should help. Should add more firmware links soon.

Uber Troll needs more content, but it’s collected almost 60 followers on Tumblr, which is a lot considering how recently I made it. Just need those meme sites to work right ;)

And I’ve started a new project with a friend. It’s a rant forum, running Vanilla, and I think it’s going to be great. I can certainly find a lot to rant about. And with Vanilla, I don’t have to worry so much about forums and crap so it’s perfect. May have to make another theme for it though, currently using EnigmaRed and somebody doesn’t like it.

Other things I’ve been doing include testing more Twitter clients, going crazy with Cydia tweaks on my iPod (and watching it get slower and slower) and Skype calls.

Christmas this year was ok. Woke up, opened my five presents, and then ate some cinnamon rolls. Awesome stuff.
Then we went to church, listened to the regular worship music for this time of year (get some new songs already) and watched the classic Christmas pageant thing. I hate Christmas pageants…
Then there was a short dance with a couple girls, it was pretty. And then a short sermon about idk what, stopped listening after the first “uh” and other filler words.

Went home, ate lunch, then played AOE 2 online and actually won all three games I played, despite not playing for the past year and a half. I suppose all the good players are off playing on their shiny XBoxes and gaming rigs, with much better games.

As for presents, I got a plush red Angry Bird (pretty common gift this year), a “I’m the bomb” shirt, Legos, a coin, gloves, and $70.

All in all a good Christmas. Definitely pleasanter than last year’s. http://bit.ly/tcUPcZ
