Christmas Break Finally Here!
After 4 weeks of waiting for the next major break of the year, it is finally here!
Here is a little low down of what has happened with me over the past few weeks. The biggest news was that I made it to the Cast of our Spring musical at School, “Alice in Wonderland” and I am glad I made it as I said in the post about me making it. Along with that I have been working on my computer that I rarely ever use anymore and I am turning it into a Linux Webserver, details on that will come soon. Turns out, not as much has happened since last breaks, but thats always okay.
I am off from school until January 5th and I am glad! — Well, thats it for this post; I’ll have a new writing piece regarding a Christmas murder on the “NCIO Series” sometime right after Christmas.

Snow Day!
Today, many schools in the Country closed either due to a Winter Storm coming in or already hitting the area. My school and many others in New York closed today as the Winter Storm neared the Western NY area; although the storm really didn’t get here until about 8am this morning, they closed for the Safety of the students and staff.
I thought it was great to have a day off right before break starts, which happens to start on Wednesday, December 24th. Currently, winds are still powerful, we have 2 foot drifts and 11 inches or more snow.

Guest Posts
Have you ever Guest Posted before? I started Guest posting on a blog called, “WordPress Hacks” back in July; but sorta went on Hiatus for a bit. I just started coming back to continue posting on WordPress Hacks.
Back in July, I made a post about a Plugin called PingPressFM back in July and a post that I typed up later last week just got posted this morning about a plugin that lets blog readers recommend posts, pages or the entire blog to others.
I definitely plan on having more posts going out in the future on the blog and I really have enjoyed writing for them recently.

Acting… Made it!
As most of you probably already know, I tried out for the musical, “Alice in Wonderland” on Wednesday, December 10th, 2008. and… I Made it!
I found out that I made it on Monday and I had our first rehearsal today, it was just informational though. I got the part of a Jack, which is a Card that Dances. We have 9 weeks of practice before we open for the public for this thing.
I’d like to personally thank everyone and I mean everyone when I say this, that has given me luck and helped me through the audition and until yesterday when I found out. I don’t have another rehearsal until after break, which starts on Wednesday, December 24th or… Tuesday, December 23rd at 2:22PM, to be exact!

Spam Trying to Take Over
If you own a website or have a blog, you probably have gotten spam one time or another, right?
Lately, I have been getting between 8 and 20 spam comments each day and I thought about this issue and I just realized that the plugin that I had before is not working because of the theme change about a month ago.
Over the course of the next day or so, I will be re-activating this plugin and adding the code to the comments.php file to make it work again. Yes, this means once again you will need to know your basic math facts, just simple adding, subtraction and multiplication… Maybe an April Fools Trick on you guys will make it harder for just that day, thats it!
Updated: Looks like the way I handled it, fixed it!
