Hello everyone, I would like to officially announce that I'm leaving my blog here at Blogger and I'm going to create a new blog over on my personal webspace.The new blog is located at http://billy.mozfaq.org/blog/Remember to update your bookmarks!Thanks, Billy Miller.

Well, it's January 1st, so that means another year's come and gone. I can't believe 2007 has flown by that quickly. A big change has happened for me in 2007; I graduated from high school and started college. The new year is sure to bring some changes, but to what extent, we don't know.

Well, I'm back home for a month. I actually came home Thursday afternoon, after I most certainly bombed my Chemistry 111 final exam. But that's OK, since I couldn't fail the class since my semester grade was so high anyway.Since I actually now have free time away from school, I spent most of the day over at Spencer's place yesterday playing (Xbox) Halo 2 and Portal. I must say, Portal is one of

I decided that I would get back into blogging. Nearly six months have gone by since I've said anything here.On my way back to school yesterday, I decided to get my laptop out and see how many wireless networks I could find. Almost as soon as we got on the main road, three networks popped up, all secured. A few more popped up at different points, and within a matter of minutes, I realized how

Well, apparently FedEx decided to attempt to deliver my laptop today. I wake up at about 9:45 AM, boot up my computer, and then go and check the package tracking online and I see this:I missed the thing by minutes due to my heavy sleeping. Then I go downstairs, and there's a tag stuck to the window next to the door from FedEx saying that they were there, but the package required a signature, and

Well, I'm back I suppose. In a larger sense, I need to welcome myself back to blogging. It's been nearly three months since I bothered to write anything here. Why? To be honest, I lost interest in blogging. Well, in any case, I'm in a mood to blog again. I'm really hoping that the laptop I ordered arrives tomorrow (Tuesday). It was ordered online last Monday, and anytime before Wednesday falls

Well today at about 6:18 am, I've made another trip around the sun. It doesn't really feel like my birthday, and I didn't really do anything that special. It started out like a normal day. I got to school, took a quiz in geometry, went swimming in physical education, had lunch, went to physics and still didn't really understand anything, then had study hall and band in fifth period. T=hen I went

Today marks the 25th birthday of cable network, The Weather Channel. On May 2, 1982, the network made it's first live broadcast. While I didn't watch in the early years (mainly because I wasn't yet born), I began watching sometime in the early to mid 1990s. While other kids my age would be watching cartoons, I'd spend hours a day watching the weather on TV. I don't know why I was so interested,

Well, it seems that, once again, I have totally neglected by blog here. I just seem to forget about it in my semi-hectic life.So some of you might be wondering what's been happening in my life as of April 24, 2007, 9:00 PM EDT as I sit here in my balmy room since the last time I bothered to make a meaningful weblog post over four months ago. Well, not much, I suppose. I'm still in school, and I

After just randomaly signing into Blogger, I've noticed that I have made a total of 99 blog posts, with the 99th being back on Febriary 8. Has it been that long since I've blogged? I guess so. I keep telling myself that I need to keep this place updated so the cobwebs don't start to build up, but I always fail to do so. I guess it's just a lack of interesting things going on in my humdrum student

Netscape 9 is coming. The once glorious web browser that was effectively dead in the water a few years ago is set to have another major release. Netscape 9 was announced announced last week to a fairly receptive audience. It has been revealed that Netscape 9 will integrate into several "social networking" websites (like Flock?) along with Netscape.com. It is also known that Netscape 9, unlike

Today was officially my last day working for Wendy's. On Christmas Eve, I have my two-weeks notice, making today my last day. I was hired back on July 5th, and in the past six month, going to work has been torture for me, mainly because the one manager was a bitch. I didn't quit because of most of the people, but the job itself. I hated going to work and getting greasy from all the fries, nuggets

I hope everyone is having a safe, enjoyable, and happy Christmas!I'll get around to posting a comprehensive outline and review of my Christmas in the next few days.

This evening at about 7:55, it started snowing for the first time this year. It was a light snow, and it hardly stuck to the ground, but it was indeed snow. Snow was reported at the NWS's reporting station in York:The Weather STAR 4000 Emulator showing a "Light Snow" observation.By 8:05, it looks like the snow has stopped.If you'll recall last year, our season's first snow happened on November 23

I'm about 95% complete on my Graduation Project. For those that don't know, all High School students in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania must complete a Graduation Project in order to graduate from High School. The project can be basically anything from a minimum 30 hours of community service, to constructing a shed, or just about anything else constructive. Me, I chose to build a computer.The

As the First Marking period ended, so did our work in the "HTML" section of my Web Design class in school. After finishing HTML Project 8 on Friday, I got a rare "free" day in Web Design to surf the internet. Mrs. Henry, the teacher claims what we did the "difficult" section of the class first (hand-coding web pages in Notepad), then we will end up with the "easy" coursework, FrontPage. Well, on

My parents have just purchased me a 2003 Dodge Neon, my first car. I'll post more information and photos later (hopefully over the weekend)...

Finally, a new version of the WeatherSTAR Emulator has been released. After, literally months of waiting, and numerous delays, Bill and the beta team have gotten together a once again working version of the emulator. The previous version has been broken since at least May due to a bug that caused the program to crash every time local data tried to be validated, making it impossible to set up a

No, your eyes didn't deceive you, that is an image banner at the top of my blog. I decided that my blog was getting too boring, and needed some color to it, so I made an IntelliStar-inspired banner for my blog. Editing Blogger's template to add the banner sub-text below the image was reasonably easy after I skimmed over the XHTML.Any comments?

Hmm, I'm sick once again. This time, a cold/flu-like ailment. I believe it all started early this past weekend. For starters, we went to the football game at Littlestown. For the third straight Friday night it had rained during the game. But unlike the previous two weeks, we preformed our show on the field. We didn't have our full uniforms on (jacket, hat, gloves, sneakers, jeans with coveralls)

Wow! Has it been a month since I last posted anything in my blog? It looks like it. Err, I probably should blog more often, but historically, August has been a busy month for me. Band camp taking up two weeks, plus a lot of other days and evenings, and school starting, I can see myself easily slipping off the blogging slide.Anyways, school started on Wednesday, and it has been a "normal" first

We're in the middle of yet another wave of heat here in the eastern United States (well porbably more like the eastern two-thirds of the country). Today, the forecast high was 100 degrees. While, I don't belive it hit that high, I know it got well into the 90s, and heat indices went well into the 100s.

Yesterday, I underwent a procedure to remove my wisdom teeth. Back a few months ago, my orthodontist recomended that I get all four removed since there wouldn't be enough room in my mouth for them if they had grown in any further.Then about three weeks ago, I visited an oral surgeon for a consultation, and the doctor told me basically what they'd do in the procedure and the possible risks of it.
