An Update On Things

that took all of what...5 minutes?

Hello blogging world. I just thought id update my website because i thought it would be a good time to do something with it.

While i was doing some afternoon lawn cutting i thought maybe tomorrow sometime i would take screenshots of the social media websites i am on (ie facebook myspace etc). Then i would crop them to make thumbnails. I figured while i was cutting that it would take me like an hour or so. But i loaded up safari and found the best view of all the social sites i have and took a screenshot with the program i use with flightsim called snapper (ovosoft.com/snapper). I then loaded up photoshop 6.0 and instead of cropping them i reduced the size from 80x600 to 100x75. Then i uploaded all of the pictures to my tripod account and put them with links to their pages on my contact page.

The contact page that i had alread had, was a form, my email, and links to my blog and forum. Now they are thumbnails that you can click on instead of some link. I have a few more to do as in the forum and dailybooth and all that....

you can find my website at darrenelliottmusic.tripod.com

CTNotify.exe Problem on startup

It hasnt affected me much in the last few months but just recently i thought id get the disk detetor working on my machine again. And then recently i loaded up my computer the other day and it gave me a error message something about kernel32.dll so i searched the computer for it and then didnt seem to see it and then searched the web and downloaded it to replace the file but now its not working so well and the error comes up every time i load my windows xp computer.

Its not a big deal im just trying to get things back to the way they were years ago so when i do sell it and it probably wont happed in the next 20 years cause im attached to this computer but if i do sell it i want it back kinda the way i got it. The disc detector was working when i first got this computer on bursary at college.

Its an Aopen PC-1 Computer

Windows XP

55GB Ram

gEforce2 400 MMX

if anyone could lead me to how to get rid of this error...do i have to reinstall it or find a new version of it??

thanks!!!

ive now jumped on the dailybooth bandwagon

look to your right and everyday you will see a new pic either uploaded or done with my webcam.

thanks dave from musicfromblueskies i thought id join you!!

Fuck IE!! Safari has all i need!!

hi guys feeling much happier now and moving on with my life i havent got the time anymore to sit around to wait. I havent really started finding anyone yet because i just dont know, im a loser and got nothing to do anymore but play driver paralell lines on the wii.  

<-----

no one has asked on youtube or on here what my 

webcam looks like and not too many really care but for those who have wondered what im using for my videos and they are pretty good videos (quality wise) it is actually better than my dads 40 dollar webcam which is alot of static...mine has alot of static  but im ok with it. I bought it for 15 bucks at a surplus store in london ontario...ZSMC 211 is the model number...probably 10-15 years old because zsmc doesnt exist anymore.

I pulled an all nighter last night and most of the night to early dawn i watched a made-for-tv- movie called "monster island". Even though most of the monsters were obviously fake the love story was brilliant. Id give this movie about a 3/10 for the horror it gave me which is zero. 12/10 for the kinda good love story.

Its 3:33am on friday may 22. Ill probably be sleeping all day.....which is like the kiss song i want rock and roll all night and sleep everyday.

If you can believe me i have never had windows office higher than 2000 on my computer.  I barely ever use it but when i do its just hard to use. I might take my computer in and get it tuned up and put some ram or rom in it. 

about the IE thing i find IE slow loading and too much toolbars and stuff. safari has all i need and keeps it clean. I also like firefox but cant get the youtube (upgrade-to-the-next-flash-player) problem fixed...so im sticking with safari...whatever happened to netscape...i remember using it in high school and havent heard much of it since.

i havent done a blog like this in ages and its a good way to get it off my chest.  I used to blog only like this but now i dont because i have other things to do than sleep..speaking of sleep good night!!

i found my dads old Minlota XG1 and cant wait to see if it still works... 

its over between me and her friendship wise

So april 14th at 8 has come and gone and I no longer am in love or do not want to think about her im on to bigger and better things...I had removed her a while ago from facebook and then after 8pm on april 14 I removed all of our mutual friends (all the friends I know and she knows)...so I wont want to hear about her anymore.

 

anyways im back on youtube with a new video called "another vlog" check it out. Im playing my wii a lot. 3367-5393-5139-9044.

Hello/Bonjour

Hello everyone who wants to post alot of negative comments on my blog. Im back from montreal. Im now speaking french alot more....

as you may see im over that girl from my previous job. I gave her 6 months and never heard back from her...

im movin on...

im giving her a week...thats it..

hi ppl, its darren here doing an email blog. Ive given up its been too long and its now down to the nitty gritty. Ive been waiting 4-5 months for a reply from "you know who" not erica I can tell you. Im giving her 1 more week to reply to the email I sent her in december. If she doesn't reply im moving on with my life after 8pm on tuesday april 14th.

 

Ill go right into finding someone on eharmony or plentyoffish or something to try to find someone. Mybe finding a girl is just not the thing for me...well maybe if I don't im moving on in life after that date...

 

1 more week girl of my dreams......1 more week

 

ive been looking into joining the CP Air Virtual airline and noticed there used to be a flight with a 737-200 from CYOW to CYUL which is weird to me the 737-200 has an aproximate range of like 25-3200 miles yet it would fly a flight of less than 100 miles...why....seems strange by todays standards...but I guess in the days of flying in the golden era it would have been ok but not today you would fly from ottawa to montreal in a dash 8 but not in a 737-200 though I found a video on youtube that shows a cockpit of a 737-200 on the way from PANC to PASC which I think is in alaska.

 

hope I get to fly for CP Air VA.

years later i cant remember the names of artists..

Back about 2003-ish. I used to watch this show called ZED on CBC every week or every night i cant remember which because its slipping out of my mind. I should have written down all the videos that i liked years ago because im gonna have to look at all the videos to find the ones i remeber quite well. "More" was a video that i really liked, good thing for youtube its on there!!

They didnt just get rid of zed they got rid of my way of seeing other artists in canada shine....and the other problem is because of copyrights after they play a video uploaded to ZED online on tv its unviewable, so someday ill find a few zed vids on youtube.

im off to look at old videos on ZED if its still exists..

peace out

2 weird things and end of season

so today i dont have many lessons and i guess by this time every year its normally only privates, and semi privates and isnce im a ski instructor helper not an instructor. So im only needed when there is more than 4 people and they need help...most of this season i have been doing the 5 week camps. They ended about the 1st week in february. Since then its been only the school groups.

So today one behind the other two very odd and very rare things happened i think i was possesed by bad luck. 1st of all my glove gets stuck on the j bar and makes it around the wheel at the top then drops in a grassy area. So i skied to the bottom and told the liftee who was sitting in a tube watching the sun go down, and told him that my glove made it around the wheel at the top and fell into an area no one should ever visit if its moving. He stopped the jbar and i cmimbed of a catch cable that if someone goes through it will stop....went over and grabbed my glove no rips or tears (though there was alreay alot of cuts from grapping the wire without the bar and jletting in run through the glove....i should have found a glove protector we used to have for riope tows. Anyways 20 mins later im taking down the characters (piglet, tigger etc) woooden characters to ski around and theres a stubborn stubby that i cant get out so i go in and grab a metal key thats helps get it out...neither one works so i tried digging with the handle on the key and it still wouldnt come out, so i went to the liftee and found a shovel and as soon as i got 1/2 way to the stubby tyler the local snowboard instructor goes by (while i was digging he noticed what i was trying to do...turned it like counter clockwise and lifted and came out....took me 20 minutes for him to take it out in like 30 seconds...unreal eh!!!

so im over there tomnorrow monday and maybe tuesday and who knows what our school group schedule will be like i know theres only like 4 or 5 school groups left..most of them are ones that cancelled when the weather was like -20 or like just after it rained...so theres not much left.

night

so who won katy perry's contest?

a few months ago i watched a video on either youtube or another youtube like website that she wanted people to make a video of them singing to i kissed a girl. it was for the grammys which air tomorrow night. Im just curious to see who won..i dont think any of my friends entered so its all from the US or from the UK somewhere.

i like katy perrys music...stands out more than any other musician that ever existed.

thats it...later

i regret it the most...

i was driving myself to cobble hills and the thought hit me like a wall...when i took a year or two off after school and got my drivers liscence i should have taken a week and gone somewhere fun by myself or with friends....would have been cool experience,...

shoulda coulda woulda...bhmmm...but i was totally in a depression at the time and that thought never crossed thru my head...

just something to think about for today and this week

how do you like the banner at the top...made it myself...

im now working on an image for my tunecore page and how rto upload songs that have a very low bitrate...most of my songs are 128 or so,...they want like 40-50 ish...

later..

on the one hand im dreaming about....

hi guys whoever is readin this blog right now...I want to post this feeling or thought to anyone out there to see what everyone thinks. I've been having 2 typical dreams sometimes like one after the other. Sometimes when im sleeping ill dream of pleasurable and happy thoughts of someone I know that I've been talking about on here then its followed by ones of people trying to kill me..

 

I like the ones of the star bucks girl I don't like the death dreams. If it was 2003 and I was dreaming about death it would be second nature to think of death, now I've got something to live for. Like last night I had a dream of me being shot at but the bullets wouldn't hit me they were like bouncing off me.

 

just something to think about for your Sunday Feb. 1st 2009 and you've just been elliott'd in...dam I want it like sxephils ending...dam!!

 

 

 

 

weird dream this am.....

this morning I awoke from an unusually happy dream one that could have kept going if I didn't have to be up for 10 am this morning. It involved a few of my old worker mates from Safeway all talking about this snowboard shop they were all going to a lot or one they wanted to start.

 

I found that one to be cool because I was seeing all my friends from Banff again..

 

well sorry for the short one but im tired no time for a Vlog today so ill wait till I get time..

scanner works!!

so hello its monday jan 26th of 2009. My scanner has been sitting in the TV room catching dust for about a month, or since i changed my room around for my computer to be in the south corner of my room. I decided it would be nice to see what i could salvage from my scanner if it works or not. Up to now the scanner part works fully so it still works its just the linkup between it and the computer. So i setup the programs for it and tried pushing the green button (epson 1260 perfection) and nothing worked then i went into control panel and hit add hardware...after a minute there was the popup that the 1260 was intalled. So it works!!...

heres a hint of a few ive scanned in




me at 347 otter st in banff
