Yes, I know the tagboard isn’t working. So you can stop telling me – thanks. I run the tagboard off a server at my workplace because they have a speedy ASP server and the site traffic is fairly low, so the tagboard doesn’t interfere much with it. So right now, the entire server is down. I don’t know what’s up, but I suspect it’s nothing much and that it’ll be up by Monday. If it’s not…(and if I’m very unlucky) then I’ll probably be called in to fix it, which may happen either Tuesday or Saturday. And if I am called in, I may play around with it a bit – a slight redesign or something doesn’t seem out of the question. I may switch the tagboard server entirely also, since the current one doesn’t have any FTP access so all the administration and fixing has to be done on-site. Which is somewhere close to downtown.

…not really sure why I shared all that, all you need to hear is probably “Tagboard down, up Monday.” I can’t do anything about the tagboard right now, so all you get is our fantastic blogs. And you can always carry out pointless Avril discussions through the comment system or something. Or just not talk about Avril, which is fine too.

Now here’s my real blog. Had a crazy time today. Apparently, one of my uncles or some close family friend (whatever) owns or has very good access (whatever) to a building somewhere in Newmarket. One of the tenants used to run a Laser Quest before they closed down – however – the inside maze is still there and all intact, complete with black lights and neon paint. Now this is a wonderfully interesting situation, particularly when you have some …paintball guns available – hee hee hee. So my cousin, who has a set of four paintball guns, called me and my other cousins up for some insane-Newmarket-in-the-dark-paintball-goodness. He has the low level pistol guns – not the hundred ball rifles. These only hold ten at once and you need to reload after every shot, which was actually better for this since we were in such close quarters and with so little people. So we played in two teams of two, wandering around the weird Laser Quest maze, making as little noise as possible, under only black lights. Pure insanity. If you could, imagine the last time you were in Laser Quest, except without the flashing guns and suits, the loud music, the numerous third graders, and with only four people. It’s freakishly scary when it’s so dark because you can only see the guy when he’s right in front of you, and the shots sting like the devil (usually you’re supposed to fire them in excess of 20 feet…we were like 5 feet away for most of the shots). Suffice to say, there was a lot of running, screaming, swearing, diving, jumping, and all the stuff you can’t do in Laser Quest. This is truly, the most non-Chu-Chu-fun a man can experience.
