So it's been almost a year, but I finally got my domain back, this time with Google as my registrar. I hopefully won't have any more problems with it. I'm trying to turn it into a sort of portfolio, and I'm not sure whether or not I should migrate or link to this blog on it. I guess it doesn't really matter; it's not like anyone's every going to look at either anyway.

Secret password
So I just noticed that there's a password to a sql database hidden in the background on my blog. I'm not super worried, since that database has since been closed, but I feel bad for missing it in the first place.
Bonus points to anyone that can find it.

Lost Content
So I may have made a mistake.
Awhile ago, I bought the domain peteroertel.com. After having not used it for a good bit, I finally decided to put up a Wordpress blog and move all the content from here over to there. I had it all sorted out, and had started writing again, but I ended up losing it all. I originally got my domain through dotter.domains, and when it came time to renew my site, I found that the website had closed and the owner was unreachable. I have since lost my domain :(
It's really my fault, however. I didn't realize that when I closed the domain through my server host, it was going to delete all the content stored there. This means that anything I wrote after migrating all this data over is gone forever. Guess I'm back to writing on Blogspot.

Pew Pew!
I'm in Data Structures again. Apparently this is the most ideal place to write blog posts.
Anyway, lasertag club just had our Virginia Tech trip this past weekend. This was my first time attending, but I'm told that it's actually a semi-frequent event. We all had a blast, I got some sick footage on my GoPro, and now Jon is super excited to do this four times a year. We were woefully unprepared this time, but next semester we plan on getting camo club shirts and painted guns and who knows what else.
Michael, Drew and I recently got into playing Starmade again. This game has been in alpha since 2012, but it already feels like a finished game. I played it a bunch a couple of years ago, and for whatever reason we all decided to jump back into about a week ago. Since then, we've put in an insane amount of time, created the grandest ship of all time, the Swag Force One, and rotated our sleep schedules all the way around more than once. We're going to fail all of our classes if we keep this up for much longer.

Who says chivalry is dead?
Sitting in Data Structures right now. The stuff the my professor is talking about is probably really important, and I think we have an exam coming up sometime really soon, but it's hard to focus when I have the entire internet available through a powerful computer right here at my fingertips. Perhaps that's why I thought it was a good time to jump onto this blog.
I'm pretty good at all of this stuff, and I'm confident that I can learn all this material before it's too late. However, I've also got to prepare for a Film Studies exam tomorrow, which I am absolutely not ready for. I need to find out if this exam is going to cover the same stuff as the last one in addition to all the new movies, because I memory dumped the last exam's content as soon as I walked out the door. It didn't help that the entirety of my preparation consisted of some last-ditch quizlet cards for half an hour on the day of the exam. I need to make a promise to myself right here: no Chivalry for the rest of the day until I finish my CS homework and adequately study for my Film Studies exam.
Speaking of which, we've playing playing a lot of Chivalry lately. We really racked up some serious time last night, when we stayed up until three in the morning. We were doing really well too. We'll see how we fare tonight.

What an exciting break
Well Spring Break is over, and I'm back in Charlotte. I didn't really do anything over the break besides work. I somehow managed to get like thirty-some hours in, which is more than I ever did back in high school. I'm pretty excited for these next couple of paychecks.
I did actually do something over break. Dan got back last Friday since his break starts this week, so we went and saw the new movie Chappie. I didn't have high hopes for it, but it managed to blow my mind. I really enjoyed it, and nearly cried three times during it. Anyone who hasn't seen it totally should. Not only is it a well done movie that really pulls you in with the character development, but it raises some the interesting topic of consciousness, Artificial Intelligence, and the preservation of the human consciousness after death. Cool stuff.

Snowy Spring Break
I'm back in Raleigh again for Spring break. I technically got back yesterday, but I then immediately left for Brian's house and stayed overnight there. As a result, I have three or four gameplay videos to edit, on top of the two I already had to do.
That's another thing. Have I mentioned that I've been getting more active on youtube again? Thacher and I have been recording gameplay and throwing it up there. I hope our attention span lasts long enough for our channels to start picking up. At least we've got the time to do stuff like this now, unlike back in high school.
Anyway, I got on the schedule for work later. I actually have to be there in less than an hour from now. This will be the first time I've been on a register since Winter break, so I hope my times don't drop too much.
