I think i do, but i think i’m just scraping the surface. When I get one thing working on this site i seem to break a couple of other things. The RSS feeds on the right side of the page may or may not be working properly. It would be cool to have them there, but if i have to then I will remove them. I REALLY want to get this MFOP thing to work, its a mobile blogging application that allows you to email pics from your phone right onto the web, it posts them automatically! I would gladly pay the 10 cent email charge to not have to deal with uploading them myself, and it would work from anywhere. But apparently I have chosen the perfect time to get excited about this because his server is down, or moving to a new one. but I will eventually get it working.

The Original Post
Projects, websitesSo I worked on this thing most of the day, and its finally, mostly done! I need to get some little cool points fixed but I think that its good enough to start. I was so excited to start that I’m writing this at 1am when I should be getting in bed cause I have to work in the morning. It seemed easy enough to set up, I had some trouble with some plugins but I was able to fix them. I really want to fix the random gallery image plugin tomorrow… but I am getting tired now… and there is sleeping to be done.
This is Me…
Life, Randomness
Hi, this is me. Mark Schumaker. I am and live in Oakton Virginia for the time being. right now I am a Software Developer (JAVA) for a government contractor in Washington, DC. It’s really boring work there and I probably won’t talk much about it… ever. But being a code monkey allows me to have money, which allows me to live the life I have become accustomed to.
I like things, I tend to buy them. I like to watch horrible sci-fi movies and almost every movie made in the 1980’s. I really don’t have favorite movies, when I’m asked to come up with a list the only one that ever comes up is Star Wars. But that is the default Geek answer. Now since I don’t like being the default anything I have a hard time with that answer. I would say something horrible like “Hudson Hawk” or “Meet the Feebles”. But either A. nobody’s going to know what those are. or B. You are going to be lumped into that “emo, too cool for school, I only play old school NES… myspace” category that I really don’t want to be involved in. So pretty much my favorite movie is whatever one I just finished watching. Because if it’s good enough for me to sit through I probably liked it.
I also have a strange affection for limited edtion things, mostly candy and soft drinks. You can see some examples under Life>>Random. I think that comes from being A. a consumer whore. B. an art major who loves well designed ad campaigns. and C. Easily influenced by advertising. But since I really don’t care I’m fine with it.
So what makes me cool is that I take things from all the groups that I’ve been associated with and mix them all together. I like old school hip-hop, 80’s hair bands, Kelly Clarkson, Punkish Electronica Goth stuff (MSI), Female Metal (Kittie), Christian Rap and I like most of the people who listen to each of those types of music.
I’m just trying to say that I’m unique… just like everybody else.
