Here is the page of my journal type thing.

I am now on school holidays after surviving a night of finishing two assignments due on the last day of school for the term. So I am happy as a result. Unfortunately I have 3 assignments to do during these holidays. Hopefully I will be able to adapt to the uberman sleeping schedule well, which would give me more time to do the assignments and anything else I want to do. I actually started the schedule yesterday morning and I haven't slept for about the past 21 hours, but I am still alert. I will start sleeping during my naps as I get more sleep deprived, hopefully. It is 5:30 am and I'm excited about seeing the sunrise today. I am going to do a log about my experience sleeping polyphasically to hopefully help provide more information about it on the internet, as it is not well known. The page is here.

I found an awesome image here btw.
I can't think of anything else to say for now so bye.

I'm 17 and in grade 11 now and it's been a while since my last entry and I haven't done as many as I would like to, but I will still try to do more.

I'm now learning parkour and lucid dreaming.
Parkour is efficient and quick movement to get from one place to another on foot. It involves jumping, rolling vaulting and more. I've learned to roll as a landing to a jump from heights up to two meters so far. I'm in the middle of learning to roll on harder surfaces like concrete now. I can also climb a wall with a height of about a couple of meters and I can do a lazy vault over some railings. I have a lot more I want to learn though.

I got Mirror's Edge at Christmas time, which is a fun video game involving parkour. The player uses parkour to get around a city. I had known about parkour for a long time before that and I was interested in it but the game finally made me learn it.

Lucid dreaming is knowing that you're dreaming while you are dreaming. It is really good because it can be as realistic as real life and the dreams can be controlled to be anything a lucid dreamer wants, including flying or eating delicious foods. I've had several lucid dreams since I started learning it but they have almost always ended with me waking up only a few seconds after I realise I'm dreaming. Lucid dreaming can be learnt in different ways, the most popular involves regularly doing reality checks such as holding your nose closed and trying to breathe through it, to see if you're awake or dreaming. I do that a lot and I've sometimes do it in my dreams and I can breathe so I realise I'm dreaming. It can take a lot of time to get good at having lucid dreams and controlling them.

I also recently discovered polyphasic sleeping. I'm thinking about doing the uberman schedule for sleep which involves sleeping 20 minute naps every 4 hours, resulting in 2 hours of sleep per day. It is actually possible and people doing it successfully are usually more alert than they are otherwise. I will be trying it only in the upcoming school holidays as I probably won't be able to sleep at school, and doing it for long amounts of time at my age could affect any more growing I am going to do.

Recently I've been fixing up half completed maps I've been making over the years, putting them on my maps page and making video advertisements about them. There is the terrain train map, a zombie map, a transport roleplaying map and a cooperation map. I've also made a little bit of progress on my interactive YTP. 11 out of 19 parts are now done.

Not as much has been happenning in Lampert Village right now, but I've made some progress on my bike factory, which is still going to take a lot more work. Here are some pictures:


I have seen the movie Avatar by James and I think it's a great movie and it's now my favourite movie. And now I've seen it five times, once in 3D. I have also seen the entire english dubbed series of Death Note on Youtube.

Recently I had mid year exams. One of the questions in the English exam was: "A new book is to be published called Fear No Barrier: Journeys of Amazing Men and Women. Write a text, based on an imaginary person, that could be published in this book." When everyone got our results back, we were told that we were meant to write a biography while only about two people in the lass managed to figure that out. I don't like questions like that which don't make much sense. Journeys of amazing men and women still doesn't sound to me like life stories, more like stories of an amazing journey people have done.

I've recently found Steve Pavlina's website which has lots of great articles and his site is how I discovered polyphasic sleeping. I recommend others view his site. Just Google his name to find it.

In my Software Design and Development class at school, I am making an encryption program for an assignment. When I finish it I will put it on my website. I haven't made much progress with Tower Empire though. I don't get any suggestions or messages from my website. I wonder if anyone sees my website at all. If you are reading my website and have any thing to say about anything, it doesn't matter if it's about my site or not, you could tell me it through the site's main page, I'd be happy to hear anything.

I am making another journal entry type thing today and there was a couple of things that I had forgotten to talk about in the last entry and some other things.One thing I had forgotten to write about was my computer monitors. I now have four. It is great to have many monitors like that so I have so much more room for working with my computer. I have today updated my desktop backgrounds and I have a different one on each monitor which is good. I will show you a picture to prove that I have so many monitors and also to see what my computer and desk space is like.
My desktop backgrounds are all of beautiful landscapes, which I like. I usually find pictures from www.landscape-photo.net. One of the images are computer generated. Can you guess which one?

Another part that I had forgotten to talk about is a movie which I had watched since my journal entry in April. It is a Japanese anime film which I watched in Japanese with English subtitles, on youtube.
It is called Arashi No Yoru Ni and when translated to English, it is One Stormy Night. It is now my favourite movie. It is about a goat and a wolf who become friends by talking to each other while they can't see each other, while wolves usually hunt goats.

That is all I had forgotten to talk about. Now I will show you a picture of  my cat who's name is Candy. She is a cute cat.

I'll now talk about Black Mesa Source. It is a remake of the game Half Life, using the source engine. It looks very epic. It has been in development for many years and at the end of last year it was said to be going to be released this year. I can't wait for it. There is less than two months left and I am excited.
I am also waiting for Alpha Mapper to update. It is a great map thing for Alpha World.

That's the end of this entry. Farewell.

It has been more than 7 months since my last journal entry and I am 16 years old now. I should do entries and update my website more often.

My place in Active Worlds has grown exponentially with some of my friends contributing to it. The place now has a name, which is Lampert Village. It can also just be called Lampert. It isn't really my place anymore, the amount of work done on it by others may be about half or more of the total amount of work done there. I will give a list of the main things at Lampert village:
  • JimmyN.com Building
  • Welcome center (under construction)
  • Nature Walk
  • Flashcode's House
  • Yoshark's House
  • Antec's House (under construction)
  • Flappy's House
  • Dalaine's House
  • Flashshark Industries Laboratories
  • Flashshark Industries HeadQuarters
  • Flashshark Industries Hazard Training Course (under construction)
  • Flashshark Industries's Namiki Orbital Research Platform
  • Flashshark Industries's Music Tree
  • Flashshark Industries's Emergency Bunker
  • Upsilon Teleporter
  • Area 7 (under construction)
  • Area 7's computer game shop
  • Courthouse
  • Jail
  • Police station
  • Lon Lon Ranch
  • A small town called Ravenholm
  • Kasan Incident Tourist Attraction
  • White Forest Inn
  • Electric Bike Factory (under construction)
  • 4 Zombie Survival Forts/Shelters
  • Lampert Village Solar and Wind Power Plant (under construction)


    • I am Flashcode and Yoshark, Antec, Flappy and Dalaine are my friends. Flashshark Industries is a company in Lampert which was founded by Myself and Yoshark. Area 7 is a rival company founded by Antec.

    The JimmyN.com Building still hasn't had much added to it since last time. It is still very incomplete. The nature walk hasn't changed much but I will give a picture of a scene of it this time.


    Flashshark Industries is a large company which does research and develops new technologies. It works in areas such as physics, chemistry, biology and teleportation. It has an electron microscope, an anti-mass spectrometer and a nuclear bomb testing site. Here are some pictures:


    Since my last journal entry, I have discovered a video game series called Phoenix Wright. It is about a defense attorney called Phoenix Wright. The games involve defending clients in court. It is actually a very good game series, in my opinion. Because of my interest in the series, I built the courthouse in Lampert Village based on the one in the Phoenix Wright games. I have made a control panel for the Judge to put on music from a Phoenix Wright game and they can also make verdicts in the same way that they happen in the game. The Defense and Prosecution have access to buttons at their desks in the court, to shout things such as "Objection!". Me and my friends have had a couple of good cases in Lampert Village, using the courthouse. Here's a couple of pictures:


    The Lon Lon Ranch in Lampert Village is my attempt at making a replica of the Ranch from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time. Here's a picture:


    So that's all in this journal entry for Active Worlds.

    I still haven't updated Tower Empire. I will do that sometime, maybe in a year. I have started working on a new application which will be a toy. It will simulate nukes. I am learning 3D modeling too. I am learning using a great open source application named Blender. It is hard it learn but once I know how to use it, I will be able to do a lot. I will have to learn it before I finish Tower Empire or the Nuke Toy/Simulator, because I will need 3D models for them.

    At school, I've finished all the exams for the school certificate. I don't have anymore homework or assignments, and that is great. I have done that student research project assignment from half a year ago. My experiment was about comparing the rates of evolution between organisms which reproduce sexually and asexually. I wrote a computer program to simulate this, and I found that sexually reproducing organisms evolve faster. I have put the my experiment program and the report I did on the experiment on the internet. You can download it here.

    For a few months now, I have been teaching myself to play piano. So far, I have learnt to play the music that plays at Mabe Village in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and I have almost learnt to play the music of Lon Lon Ranch, from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I have just started to learn how to play Still Alive, the song from the end of the video game Portal. Maybe I will film myself playing piano and put it on Youtube someday.

    I have put some videos on Youtube recently, though. I'm making a Youtube Poop interactive story. I have made a section on my website for that, so go check it out there.

    I still haven't had many suggestions for my journal. I'd still like to hear any ideas you may have.

    My birthday is in a couple of days. I have almost finished term 1 of the school year and I am now in grade 10, for the second time. There is one week after this week until the end of term.I haven't gotten any decent journal suggestions for what I should talk about in my journal, so I will talk about anything I think I should talk about. But if you have a suggestion, I would still like you to send it using the form on my previous journal entry.

    Recently I have been memorising digits of pi. I know 60 digits. Memorising pi is fun. Something else I like to do is play Minesweeper, a game that comes with almost all Microsoft operating systems. Incase anyone is intersted, my times are: 12 seconds for beginner, 79 for intermediate and 293 for expert. Most of my time at home when I'm not doing homework or school assignments, I probably spend playing computer games, like gmod. But sometimes I like to read things on the internet, such as debates or to learn about things. Sometimes, I may want to work on making something, like a map, or anything else I can think of that I am able to make. I haven't worked on my map of my school or Tower Empire or anything for a while, but I was thinking of working on them again soon, such as in the school holidays. There is this big assignment I have to do for school, though which is due sometime next term which I was planning to do on the holidays, so I may not have a lot of time to work on anything. The assignment is a student research project for my science class, where I have to perform an experiment on something. I am planning to do an experiment about evolution. I would be able to simulate evolution by writing a computer program.

    I had been making a place in Active Worlds. Active Worlds is some software that is used to explore and make virtual 3d worlds. At my place there, I had been making part of my website but some parts are not finished being build or even started. Apart from my website, there will be whatever I want to build there, but I don't really have any ideas of what to build. So far, I had build a nature walking track and a pond with a water fall. I have become an Active Worlds citizen, which prevents my building from being deleted, among other benefits, but it cost about 100 Australian Dollars or something, to be a citizen for a year. I had been using Active Worlds for a few years, but now I had finally become a citizen, which I had always wanted to do. My place in Active Worlds is in a world called Alphaworld. If you would like the coordinates to visit this place, you should email me. Here is a picture of my place.

    That year of school is now finished and I am in the middle of some long school holidays yay. I have done an update to the website today that inlcudes pictures and colour. That should make some people happy. I can't really think of much to write about in this journal. Im not even sure if anyone reads it. I would like some people to tell me what they think I should talk about in these journals so I have provided a form here.


    Also if you don't have any suggestions, you can click the button below just so I can know if anyone reads this.

    On my question page, I have made it so that you can type a question in a box and press submit and my website will email the question to me and recently, I have received several questions that I have responed to.

    I've done some work on my tower empire game and I will post an updated version, even though I haven't done anymore on it since I said that I would release it after I had done more work on it to some people that I know. I have decided to release it now because I have decided that I will change many things in how the game works before releasing a new version and that could take a while. Anyway the version I am going to release today will give you the ability to upgrade towers and resource collectors. There is also resources in the game and building and upgrading uses up resources.

    Work I have done on the game since the version I will release today is about units. I have made it so that a car can drive itself around to it's destination.

    05/9/08 Since I started the website, I have put in a section about my games and put in information about games that I've made. I have been making this 3d strategy game recently called Tower Empire. After the first time I put information up about it, I did an update on the 3rd. Today I made the current version available to download on that page.

    30/8/08
    Today I started this website.
