A quick little introduction is good. The name
of the site is actually from the by-gone BBS days when myself and my partner
in crime, Phil, were the operators of a small time Commodore
BBS. The Name always kinda stuck so I figured I'd use it. On
a different note this is my attempt at a web page, I'm sure it will change
a LOT in the next few weeks. My name is Jorge. I live in a
quiet suburb of Chicago with my very significant other. I have a
lot of ideas for these pages, and have finally been broken by everyone
into doing something about it.

03/13/00- OK... Lot's been going
on. Let's start off by saying.. the Kia... is HISTORY... Go to use
the 4-wheel drive the beginning of February and it didn't work... So I had
it fixed... but that was the last thing I would ever do. On January 25th
2001 I put my deposit down on my brand new 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. Which
I took delivery of last night March, 12th 2001 :). Check out the new area
that will be coming up very soon. PROJECT WRX
-
01/23/00- Check out the banner I put up top
about Nissan Motors (the car manufacturer) vs. a small internet company on the
east coast. Interesting reading.
-
01/06/00- If it could get worst it has.
Elmhurst Kia has done it. Here's the straw that broke the camel's back.
Read here.
-
12/21/00- .... could it get worst?
Check out the Kia here.
-
12/20/00- Back on 12/07 I was talking about
the Kia and a new head for it. Well as of 12/20 it's still in the
shop. Check it out here.
-
12/07/00- First and foremost... Playstation
2... ROCKS... anyone who likes roleplaying games needs to check out orphen, I've
purchased both orphen and summoner. Summoner seems to be more of an
in-depth take your time role playing game, where orphen is more defined in it's
story line, more linear, but with better use of the playstation 2's graphic
potential.
Have added a bunch of stuff to the Kia
page, at 35,770 miles it looks like she will be needing a new head. Yes...
Head.
We've also started to do more work on the emulator
page, work has just been so ungodly busy folks.
I've recently been
promoted to director and have started hiring on people into our I.T. department
like crazy.. no more one or two helpers. We're provisioning ourselves for
about 20 projects that have come up recently.
-
10/03/00- Yes.... I know.... I really
know... stop.. stop now.. oh SHUUUUSH... I know it's been FOUR freakin
months. But there is so much that has been going on... wow..
check out the individual sections for details.. BUT... I've gotten married
8^), sold Project TSI, finally built something that is
worthy of the emulator page. Specifically,
reconditioned an old arcade cabinet and installed some pretty trick customer
hardware into it. The dog is HUGE, and
still growing. I've also been following the progress of a good friend of
mine who is big time into shifter card racing. Give
his site a look see. It's worth it. Well.. enough ranting for
now.
-
06/01/00- Redid the layout of the utilities
section of this page. It's actually usable and readable now :)! I
also experienced a pretty interesting situation with Project
TSI yesterday... something about a blown hose? Check
it out here!
-
05/31/00- ... now I'm keeping Project
TSI hehe...
-
05/22/00- Project TSI is up for sale Check out the
News.
-
04/28/00- Added the latest outcome on the battle of the bids with various
vendors for Project TSI.
-
04/24/00- Finished a new customer part for Project
TSI. We've also placed a lot more photo's of the growth of my re-incarnated
gazzel.
-
04/14/00- Have added a whole bunch of new stuff to Project
TSI.
-
03/23/00- Well... hehehe.... I guess it's been
one of those Mexican siesta things, the last 2 months. I've been really
busy with work and apologize for not really having been able to do work on my
site. What I have been able to do (if you haven't already notice) is setup
a domain, private DSL, firewall protected network, and all the 'trimins at my
home. I've also switched web server platforms and am running FrontPage as
my publisher. I'll be able to do all the cool tricks and revamps I've
wanted to do now. Another big thing that has tied up the cash that I
normally would put into the projects I work on. JORGE
IS GETTING MARRIED SOON. On June 4th to be exact. So you
can all understand my point of view hehe. I'm sure more details will come
in the near future.
-
01/10/00- Added some more mod pics to
Project TSI. We have some custom part fabrication,
as well as a fresh paint job we'll be documenting.
-
01/07/00- Happy New Year!!!! I hope it went well for everyone. We
have a new modification concept in Project TSI.
We've also discovered the wonders of EBay.
I've managed to pick up about $300 in tools for a little over $80.
-
12/27/99- I hope every one had a safe and happy holidays!!! I know
mine was great!!! Amy must be able to
read my mind, or just wants me to get done with Project
TSI :), I got a bunch of shiny new(and needed) air tools to help with
the process. I'll send out a warm greeting to the 150 or so people
who've visited us in the last week!!! It seems pretty logical that
if I finally sign up with search engines people would start to find this
place, hehehehe. But we've seen a significant improvement in activity
to Project TSI. Also I've added new pictures
of our ever growing gazelle, as I call Kerigan.
Also we have new thoughts for the modifications done, as well as future
mods to Project TSI. Finally, in the
event that I can't update this for this coming Saturday, I hope everyone
and their families the best for a safe and happy new year!!!
-
12/20/99- I've gone and put up some more pics
and mods to Project
TSI. We actually have exterior vehicle pics, and not just engine
pieces :).
-
12/19/99- We have frames :) For those folks who link directly to
one of my other pages, you will continue to view in that format, but for
those who link to index.html it will open up the Frames Version of The
rifts.
-
12/10/99- Have added in some affiliate content from lycos and excite.
Nothing annoying, just items that I consider useful that are placed out
of the way in the utilities area.
-
12/10/99- Wow... 21 days left folks. We finally managed to
get the Kia stuff up :), also the good word is that
all the work we've done on Project TSI is paying
off and going well. We had some tricky fixes we went through on our
prize DSM. I'm imagining that after this week I'll be parking it
in the garage for the winter. Interior and body work anyone! :) hehehhe.
Winter is also that wonderful time that you sit home and play all the cool
games that are coming out. I'm personally waiting(still) for Diablo
2 as well as Gran Turismo 2. Needless to say I'm sure my significant
other is caching in all her frequent flyer miles with me right now, because
when Diablo 2 is out I'll be living and sucking off the CRT on the back
of my monitor! There is an issue with the fixes for my four wheel
drive on the Kia that were actual damage from the old defective hubs.
Read up on it in the latest Kia News
-
12/04/99- We hope everyone had a great holidays! I've finally started
putting up the photo's for my Project TSI page,
it's looking very good!!! I think I'll start following the same idea
into my other project pages. I'm still dealing with different issues
with KIA, and will most likely have an update... I know I promised it already
:) it's coming for sure!

YES, it's been almost 3 months.... I'm pathetic or something. A lot
has been going on keeping me busy, namely work. Free advice for those
eager to get into the I.T. field... WAIT UNTIL AFTER 01/01/00!
:P on a serious note though, we have a lot to update on. I've
finally started to collect a lot of the info for Project
TLR, expect to see updates soon to that page. We've also acquired
a new item to tide me over this winter, a nice, shiny, new... ok that's
a stretch.. old, faded, beat, 126k mile 1990 Eagle Talon TSI. Project
TSI, as it will be known, shall be my entry level SCCA runner, and
overall fun car. Let's face it, I drive a Kia... I need a car
I can drive on nice days, when I don't want to ride, that has a little
more umph then the Kia. Speaking of which, hahahahaha, check out
the Kia page for what may be(knock on wood) the
end of the 4X4 blues. We have a new addition to our family as well!
Amy's father is a local police officer and one of the cops he works with
had a litter of beasts. He gave us one 28 day old Husky/Rottweiler/German
Shepherd mix we named Kerigan(Anyone remember Starcraft?). Kerigan
was 28 days old on labor Day, so now she's going on her 14'th week and
is already 25 pounds of PURE muscle.
-
08/29/99- Updated the Kia page with my latest nightmare
of events.
-
08/29/99- It's been some time since I've gotten a chance to work on this,
sorry. Work, and social occasions have kept me pretty busy.
I've finished working on the Kiersey portion
of my bio page. I would love to hear from people who take the
test on what there results were and their thoughts on if it hit them pretty
accurately.
-
08/13/99- Check out my thoughts on my bio
page about the Kiersey personality
and temperament test
-
08/13/99- Got a bunch more links up now, added
a lot into the Visual FoxPro, Emulator,
Commodore
Amiga, and Kia Sportage area.
-
08/11/99- Finally got the message board
up in the motorcycle area. I will be adding
a java based client to go with the message board later.
-
08/11/99- Have worked more on my Kia Sportage page.
I've added in my experiences with the vehicle, as well as the dealerships
I've worked with in Chicago land.
-
08/11/99- 1:30 A.M. and I'm still up working on this! Have been making
major cosmetic changes to most of the pages how they work, been playing
with animated gif's as well. Check out the Motorcycle
page it's had some more info added to it. I'm placing information
about the TL1000R that I own now, as well as some of my older bikes.
I'd like to start doing links tonight but we'll see, I'm off to bed now.
-
08/11/99- Still planning on going on a ride with some of the folk down
here in the Chicago land area this coming Saturday the 14th. Should
be a good outing looks like a half dozen to a dozen of us so far. Email

I've been real busy going through the learning curve with my HTML software.
As I expected, I am learning more about what I can do with this stuff,
I'm trying new and interesting things. Needless to say this site
is still under major construction, and most likely will always be!
Check out my site!!!
