Summer Job Long time no see. Sorry for not Blogging for the last 5 days, I have been away at my brother's house. It was kind of a suprise, he just showed up on Sunday and asked me if I would like to go to his house for the next few days so I thought I needed to get out of the house so I went. He does construction so I helped him out those few days. I make a descent amount of money in those few days. He has a computer with Internet Access but I was so busy that I didn't have time to Blog. Next week should bring new things to http://www.chrishileman.com. More games if I get around it and I need to get the next issue of the newsletter. Well I just get back from band and have some computer work to do so I need to run. I will get to tomorrow. Chris. Posted by chris at 11:26 PM Personal •

Scary Stuff Howdy yall!!! I have been itching to say that all day. LOL. Today was filled with fixing computers and watching movies, Hopefuly I get to work on the site tomarrow. I need to get on the message board and do some updating on it. And I know that I havn't added games, sorry, I will get on that soon. I am open it suggestions. If you have an just email me, .

I have a parade in Silver Lake tomorrow that I have to march in it is at 11:00 so after that I might get some web work done.

I have a tip for you all today. DON'T ANSWER ANY PHONE CALLS THAT COME AT THE EXACT HOUR OF 12:00 MIDNIGHT. I know I'm 15 and shouldn't be a woose. But this call freaked me out, it was a automated vioce that talked back to me, they asked me my name, I told them it is none of the biz. They asked me where I lived. I replied the same. He started talking about some mystery thing about some killing. I just hung up the phone and tried to sleep but for some reason I just couldn't, so I just played on the net. Let's hope it doesn't happen tonight. If it does I will blog it and let you know.

Hopefuly I see you tomorrow (if the voice doesn't get me). Chris Posted by chris at 11:28 PM Personal •

MP3 Pro Today was a boring day here at Chris's FREE Place on the Web! I pretty much say around the house all day. Then I had band, fun fun, but while I was at school I pick up 2 old computers that they were going to get rid of. They are quite slow but it is enough to run a Linux command prompt on it. I would like to get it on my home network so maybe it could be a firewall for my main PC.

DId you hear the news? A new version of the MP3 format was released today. It is called MP3 Pro. It offers the same quality as MP3 but at 1/2 the file size. HE HE. It will take companies a while to get this new format out in programs but when it is I am going to convert all my current MP3's to the new format. That way it takes up 4 gig, instead of 8.

Well nothing more to say, except for. See you tomorrow!! Chris Posted by chris at 11:31 PM Hardware •
