Well, it’s official, everybody decided to pack as much school-related crap into this week as humanly possible. In addition to all the stuff I said yesterday, I had to go moderate at the Quiz Bowl Tournament our school hosted today.

So, from about 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., I was working the Quiz Bowl Tourney.

While we had some free time between matches, I also helped to set up Clent’s personal website, where he hosts his blog. You can see it at http://www.clentstracner.com

I’m also trying to get it set up where people can get blogs on DOT geek. For example, if I wanted to get a blog at DOT geek and my username was B_006, then I would go to http://blogs.daysofthegeek.com/B_006 to view my blog. However, the wordpress mulit-user version doesn’t seem to like goddady very much. Oh well, I’ll work on it some more, and maybe people can eventually have DOT geek blogs.

The tourney was pretty fun, I got to moderate (read questions) for 5 rounds, all of which featured a team from Parkview Arts and Sciences Magnet School. The first three games, it was Parkview B; the fourth was both Parkview teams; and the last round in which I moderated it was Parkview A. The winner of the tournament was Cabot A, so congratulations Cabot! The trophies we got for the winners were pretty nice. The first place trophy was huge!

I think that’s enough rambling for now. Whenever I come up with some more content, I’ll keep you posted.

Man it’s been so freakin’ long since I’ve written a post here, but it’s because I’ve been so bleedin’ busy lately. Like this week I think I’ve been at my house for like a total of 40 hours (including sleep). I mean on Monday, I went to school and after that, I had to go shopping for some new clothes to wear to the EAST Partnership Conference, which I went to on Tuesday-Thursday. (More on that later.) Then today (Friday), our school band had contest, so I had to go to that.

First of all, EAST forums is no more. The site is still up, but as soon as the contract for the hosting is done, it will go down. It has been merged with another site I set up with some friends, http://www.daysofthegeek.com, or DOT geek, as we like to call it, will eventually be a mainly media site with podcasts or vidcasts. The forums will be run by the same people who ran the EAST forums, so you know they’re in good hands.

EDIT: It seems Timothy took EF down for good, though I’m sure we can find a good use for the webspace until the contract expires.
Our band got a “One” rating overall, which is the best rating you can recieve for band in the system we participate in.

I’ll probably post some stuff about the EAST conference later when I have a lot more time. There’s so much to write about, I had a great time!
