Off The Grid... No More

So tonight we decided to take a snack break, and not really get anything done. It's been quite a fair amount of time since we've gotten any work done, partially because the website we've been using to construct MPL denied my credit card and stopped hosting us, and my laptop got stolen, but nonetheless, we simply suck at life.

But times, they are a-changing. The men are back, and I have a $200 IBM ThinkPad. Tonight I managed to muster up $25 and am now waiting for Doteasy to give me access to the hosting site. Now that my schedule has settled down, we plan on cranking out MPL, and not being such bitches.

Tell your friends. THE BOYS (MEN) ARE BACK IN TOWN!

Return from Hiatus

At long last, the Men have returned.

Before Winter Break we were making serious progress. We were motivated and we had momentum. Then, we both got our wisdom teeth out (I had 6 because it's manlier) and then we both went on (different) vacations. When we returned to school we got caught up in our respective duties but really there's no excuse; we fucked up.

But we're back and more determined [read: manly] than ever before.

Our next goal is to get some skeletal version of the site up and running so that some of our friends can join a group and post information about each other. There probably won't be a rating system yet, but we're taking baby steps. Giant, earth-quaking baby steps.

Tonight we're going to get back in the swing of things and get oriented as to where we left off. Tomorrow we're really going to dive in headstrong and make a calender to determine when we need to get shit done by so we'll stop procrastinating. If there's one thing men do really well, it's foregoing work in order to drink and eat steaks. Also lift heavy things.

That's all for tonight, but keep your eyes open. We're in this for the long, brutish haul.

Aur revoir, bitches.

P.S. Snacks tonight are white cheddar popcorn.

Our Dearest Intern, Chris

Day 2

Big changes in the "office" today. I decided that our "workplace" needed some snacks, so I stopped at 7-Eleven before coming in to work. Needless to say, Joe was pretty excited.

In terms of progress, we made great strides today. Joe has been hard at work learning the intricacies of Actionscript, while I have been busy setting up league capabilities/features. We also spruced up the look of the sight with some nice changes to the CSS.

On a side note, people still seem to have some confusion about how this site will eventually work. The leagues will consist of two teams each, and both will be competing to be the most "manly." Players will receive (or lose) points for their actions in their everyday lives, and at the end of the season, the team with the most points wins.

Examples:

• Eating a steak: +3 points
• Eating a wrap: -2 points
• Watching Fight Club: +2 points
• Watching The Notebook: -4 points
• Watching The Notebook with a dime and then hitting: +5 points

Hope you all get the picture. We'll keep you all posted!
