For the past year before joining Zetamex i been fighting suicide and depression. I joined thinking that it would help me but instead it has been nothing but bullshit after bullshit from the opensim community. Not only has Zetamex been vocally attacked by others on Hypergrid Business and Google Plus community's but also by support tickets. My problem is that I have a mental problem of taking it personally and effects me, on top of it, i wasn't getting paid at all for what i was doing and putting up with. Not one Canadian penny.
I was going to seek help just after my 30th bday (jan 16) but then was hired by Tim as a volunteer so I was focused on that and it was good for while, then negative stuff and drama started and my stress kept rising. I started to feel like what Tim and I were doing was not good enough. Then Tim gave the company on the same day for the same reason as Notch selling Minecraft to Microsoft. It was that day i was going to quit and take care of myself but i held on.
Yesterday (Oct 24) someone posted a private convo i had with him. Now i have not read it and im sure some of it is lies because he said in the convo with me that i was threatening him. I never once did. Yes i told him the truth about AviWorlds because, well, its out in the open what Alex does when things go bad for his grid. I also informed this guy that i still live with my parents and they were sleeping so i couldnt talk on mic but the guy kept calling me so yea i got pissed off, thats when he went all paranoid and threaten to call the police on me. What you dont know is that he kept harrassing me by email till i blocked him. All of that was the night of Oct. 23. He then posted some of it the next morning. I found out through a dear friend and that triggered my anxiety which then triggered urges of throwing myself out of my bedroom window to 6 floors down to the ground and landing on a parked car. Instant death. That was then i decided that enough is enough and i need to guit Zetamex and get help and thats what i did. I told him that i quit and why then called the police who then later arrived and escorted me down to the hospital.
I do wish all the best to Tim and the Zetamex team and really hope they continue on making great products for opensim using php and what i wrote for them.
Now if you could excuse me, I have weight to lose, mental problems to deal with and a gay relationship to fix with my high school sweetheart.

is this rollercoaster over with yet?
Its been a hella of a ride for me these past few months since coming on as just to make a vendor and rental system for Zetamex.
What was suppose to be a 1 month thing has end up putting me as 2nd lead website developer and CTO for Zetamex. Tim is always first even though he is learning php, html, jquery and bootstrap off of me.
Now with MyZetamex near completion and ZetamexTech only has about 1 month of testings, i have decided to announce here as to what is about to happen with me.
No im not leaving Zetamex, sorry to disappoint all you haters.
First off, I got opensim.directory to finish, zetamextech to launch, zetamexstatus.com to finish rewriting THEN, AND THEN!
I will be rewriting the following websites,
zetamex.com
gridpress.com
zadaroo.com
and zetamexlabs.com
As for the zadaroo site, will just be making it easier to navigate the website on any device, making API friendly calls and giving tim more control to do what he wants with it.
While i was working on the ZetamexWeb (formally OpensimWeb) i decided to test a theory to see if I could convert a copy of ZmW and turn it into a simple website system and sure enough i did as you will see with zetamexstatus.com
So all of the above sites, since they dont need so much security will be rewriten with zmws (zetamex web service).
As for projects outside of zetamex.
I will be getting back to my number 1 passion. /gasp OMG php is not my number 1 passion?
Music has always been my first passion with php as my second.
I plan to get back to finishing my 2nd album titled Spacial Radiation. It, as with my first failed album title Nebula, it will be alien techno. Basicly its music as if a alien from another planet was doing human music.
Also been thinking, and will talk to Tim about this, do Zetamex Radio.
That way with any future meetings/presentations we do on our office sim, we can do by voice via the radio channel instead of relying on vivox.
Yes it will have a auto dj but also would like to get some live shows and some news too. And as always Dj ChrisX (thats me btw) will return to the cyber air waves after a long 2 year absence since leaving a few Star Trek Online radio stations.
ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT!
I am also planning on getting back to making YouTube videos. I have returned to Minecraft but i still refuse to play anything past 1.7, and certainly not offical Minecraft. I been playing a Feed The Beast mod pack called Mindcrack which is a modified version of 1.4.5, when the game was perfect.
Anyways I will release a video soon about some stuff that all you Zetamex fans will be interested in ;)
Till then keep calm & party hard-core.

Prices are way to high
I get that the price to create, package and ship is costly but come on. $6 for a jar of coffee, $2 for a pack of halls, $3 for a loaf of locally made bread.
Or how about this. $169 for a simple android tablet or $1,099 for a Dell desktop computer.
For someone on disability those prices are just way to high.
I actually had to cancel my sim with Zetamex yesterday, not because of the recent drama with that company, its because after buying all i needed to survive for the month i had no money left.
Some of you may think that $15 is nothing but to me its alot since that is like 1 McDonalds value hamburger per day for 10 days.
Prices for food is just way to expensive for those on a small fixed income by their government.
Then all these tech company's tempt you with all these good gadgets and at first they are very nice and you want one but cant afford it.
"Everyone has a tablet" not really. If you look at the majority of Canadians and Americans. Most of them cant afford a cheap tablet because they either have no job or on a fixed government income that is very tiny.
I would love to have a windows 8 tablet but it's either that or food for the month. Clearly im not going to let myself die from starvation all because i want a tablet.
Same with cars. My parents car is falling apart and is close to being sent to the scrap yard but they cant afford a new car, not even a used one.
In short, price of things are just way to high for most people right now and i really wish company's would lower their prices before it gets really bad and out of control. I fear if life continues like this, there are going to be alot of suicides. People will become so depressed wanting and needed things that they just cant afford that they will kill themselves instead just to end the pain.
Don't worry im not going to kill myself but it is depressing me.
I'm just posting this so people in the same situation as I am in can know that they are not alone.
If you are feeling suicidal because of the way prices for things are to high for you to afford please take a look at this website i found. http://www.suicide.org/suicide-hotlines.html or just google suicide hotline
Anyways thats it for this blog. Thanks for reading it. And remember you are not alone.

Rebirth of a developer
Few months ago when i was still on the Littlefield Grid, i created a vendor system that records buyers to a external database website and called it LittleVend. The website and domain was LittleTech.net
It was a simple system that gave inventory but didnt accept any money. However i did plan to release this to other grids that did have money so i wrote code to only accept money if the amount for a product was more then zero and allow direct BUY from a dialog window if the price was zero. Example: If a smellagram was set to L$0 then the buyer would only need to touch the sign and a menu would pop up with the option button called BUY, when the buyer presses that it gives the inventory directly to them avoiding the whole money() event.
I also had other plans for this for LFG such as a drop box since giveinventory was working across sims on LFG.
However LittleTech died when i was banned from LFG for saying something (rather not get into that again)
Fast forward 3 months later and i saw a comment by the owner of Zetamex saying he was going to do a vendor system. I then left a comment basicly saying that i would give him what i wrote so far. Meaning he takes it with no strings attached and do whatever he wanted with the scripts. Even had a website in the works for him to.
About a day after leaving that comment, he got a hold of me and offered me a job on the spot doing the vendor system for him. Now i was shocked since i been learning php and lsl on my own. Then he told me why he wanted me was because exactly that. Learning on your own with no schooling on the languages was what convinced him to hire me. I didnt even submit a resume, i just offered code to help him get started.
So of course i said yes. And thats when it all changed.
Fast forward another 3 months and WOW what a trip.
Right after i was offically hired i got to work on what he hired me to do. GridVend!
With a newly lit fire under my ass and a server to work on at my finger tips i started writing away.
Hammering at my keyboard typing code, hammering at my brain when lines of that code dont work.
In the end i have made it. GridVend and GridRent! Two powerful systems that wont cause grids to freak out.
Web base settings so no need to play with notecard configs.
llResetScript() is triggered every time the prim the scripts are in are re-rezzed so no save state.
Dropbox system for both vend and rent so no need placing product in every rezzed vendor system.
You can have the same product show up on multiple vendor prims around your grid without having to put your product in every rezzed vendor.
No need to put the same notecards in every rezzed rental box. Just drop 1 copy of rented and available into the same dropbox, set each rental box to those notecards on the site and away you go.
Website uses Bootstrap 3.x so you can edit your products, vendors and rentals right from your smartphone's browser while on the go.
Website also uses a Quadodo Login System for managing logins and registration. And i have also added a system so you can link all your avatars to one account (where ever GridVend/GridRent is supported). So no need making multiple accounts to manage your gridvend/gridrent on multiple grids.
API friendly for both in world and on the website. Start writing your own products that will work seemlessly with our systems or create a buyer's list for your website/records.
Now enough of how uber leet my LittleVend idea has turned out to be and onto working at Zetamex.
One word can only describe it. AWESOME!
Or how about two. F***ING AWESOME!
It's been more like working WITH Timothy instead of working FOR Timothy.
When i was doing Little Tech, it was just me and me alone to do everything. Website, lsl, testings, marketing, sales, etc.
With Zetamex. Well lets just say at this legit company, there is no I in team and it is really felt here :D
When Tim needs my help, i help him the best i can. When I need tim's help, he helps me the best he can.
And now with Vend and Rent almost done with final testings I can finally move onto what i was thinking of doing when Tim offered me the job so many months ago.
Role Playing combat system.
Vampire Bloodbyte system simular to Bloodlines in SL.
And now with avatars able to cross sims while in a vehicle on a bulletsim region i plan to take full advantage of this and do a train and bus system. Meaning vehicles follow a set path on its own. To get a idea of this go check out SLRR (Second Life RailRoad). Or think of it as JohnnyCab from the 1990 movie Total Recall. In the movie he to followed a set path to Douglas Quaid's destination.
Anyways my hands now hurt from typing this so back to watching netflix and youtube.
This was just me blogging about what my life as a scripter has been these past 9 months.
Be sure to check out www.gridvend.com for all the latest info on GridVend, GridRent, GridCombat and GridRails.
Live long and prosper.

How far we have come
I been looking around lately and been thinking and amazed of how far we as humans have gone in the way of technology.
It was only roughly 14 years ago when Windows XP first hit store selves and people are rushing to get a copy just to get away from that boring grey toolbar. 14 years later we can colorize our toolbar and we have touch screen.
It was only roughly 16 years ago when Google was born which spent all their time, money and effort on improving the internet for everyone. Now Google can be accessed on any device that has a internet connection.
It was only roughly 31 years ago when the first .com domain was registered. Now there's billions of domains registered all around the world.
But that was just the internet. It feels like only afew years ago when cell phones were just black pixels on a pukie green screen. Now cell phones are more then just to make a call. They are full HD colour, can play games, access the internet, send text, pictures and video to friends and social media sites. I once saw a video on YouTube that was made in the 1960's, or 50's, predicting the future and the narrator said something about the average american will have his or her music player, camcorder, phone and tv all in 1 device with a spot for their money, and i grabbed my android smartphone and said "yea its called a smart phone".
I look back at how we humans were before Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Gene Roddenberry and am just amazed of how those two people really change the world. Back then people didn't have proper long distance communication, they were only able to talk with their neighbors. When they needed to send a message or invoice to someone on the other side of the country, they sent it by postal "snail" mail. Kids played outside with others.
Now we can chat and interact with people all around the world while at our computer devices while laying in bed or at the office. Programmers no longer need to be at a office to do work, they can work with their team from home. Kids play video games with other kids online.
When I was a kid (oh boy showing my age now) computers and the internet wasn't as popular as it is today so most people didn't know about it. I did because my dad had a windows 95 computer for his work and i remember playing afew simple games on it. When i got my first computer at home (parents were divorced) I was 16 and cable internet was just slowly coming out but wasn't yet available in the area where i lived with my mom so we were still on dial up, also the computer was really old, could only handle dial up.
Now there is cable internet, fiber optics and LTE for mobile devices like smart phones, smart watches and tablets.
Now I wonder what our technology would be like in another 10 to 20 years. Will we be even more closer to Star Trek than we are now? Will we be able to use our advancement in computer science to finally travel outside our solar system and meet other species? Only the future will know.
So with all that said I like to now say thank you to afew people. First off to you for reading this.
Steve Jobs for inventing the micro computer now known as Personal Computer, the spark of mobile computing starting with the iPod and iPad.
Bill Gates for inventing the best operating system which helped greatly on our revolution in computers.
Gene Roddenberry for imagining of what our future could look like through Star Trek which sparked those ideas in Bill and Steve.
wikipedia.com for history information of the internet.
Heres to another 10 to 20 years of new inventions and improvements in computer science.
Bye for now.

Canada eh
The true north, not strong and for sure not free. Or so the rest of the world thinks.
We pay taxes on EVERYTHING! Well almost everything, only afew items are not taxed. Not sure about other provinces but here in Ontario our tax rate is 14% HST. Not GST or PST but HST. Which is both PST and GST in 1.
PST = Provincial Sales Tax
GST = Government Sales Tax (Federal)
HST = Harmonized Sales Tax (PST and GST in one tax)
And what do they do for it? NOTHING! Our healthcare is still shit, our roads are still shit, our crime rate is still high and unemployment is still high.
Healthcare
Our premier says that wait times in ER's are at a all time low, people are waiting less to see a doctor.
That is a bullshit lie. I wait an hour to see my family doctor and just recently i had to go to the hospital's ER because i couldn't stop twitching. I waited 2 hours just for a doctor to see me and say i have psychogenic tremors. Then waited another 30 minutes just for 1 pill to take to help calm down the twitches until i could talk to my family doctor who at the time was on holiday's so i had to wait 2 weeks to see her. That is just a example of our healthcare wait time. Other parts of it i will say is great. Got afew doctors out of McMaster that seem to not know what they are doing and others wont prescript helpful medication. For example, i use to get amoxicillin for my ears since i was 3 when the tubes in my ears collapsed and had fake ones put in to reopen my own tubes. But since then i keep getting infections. Amoxicillin helped alot with that. Now my new family doctor wont give it to me so now i have to suffer.
But enough of that. Now for roads.
All they do to fix the roads is either patch them or replace them with fresh ash vault. Like seriously? Heavy transport trucks ruins those almost instantly. All we need is a good heat wave and bam, freshly paved road ruined again. The only road here in Hamilton that hasn't need repairs is Parkdale Ave. since that is all cement which i think is a great idea and all roads should be cemented.
Our crime rate here needs help too. In just 1 week this year this city has had 2 murders. Thats pretty sad since today is only Jan 07 2014. And all last year there was lots of murders, robberies, drunk drivers, people not wearing seat belts, morons using their cellphone while driving and people dealing drugs. Police i think are doing a great job doing their best to fight crime but i think their should be more officers on the streets.
Also another improvement is we need tougher penalties and possibly bring back the death sentence. Maybe then these criminals will think twice before doing a crime.
Unemployment is still high with more and more companies closing because taxes and cost of operations are higher here then China. Those who are here have right high rates. Take cell phone providers for example. We Canadians pay through the noise for service. Even though im very happy with service and price with Fido, other Canadians are not with their provider. Cable and Fiber optics internet and TV service is the same way. High prices for shit service. Hell i think that goes for everything here.
Our government needs a good stiff kick in the common sense head. They lie to win a election then they lie to us after. The healthcare thing is a great example of that. Some of us Canadians like myself feel that we just vote in a mascot and the country is actually controlled by the banks. The saying "Voted by the people for the people" for the past few decades has been a load of bullshit.
So theres today's Canada in a nutshell. If anyone got any more questions about Canada please feel free to ask me on g+ or on the Great Canadian Grid, avatar name is Christina Vortex or watch the Rick Mercer Report on YouTube and on CBC. He tells all about today's Canada in the most funniest way possible :)

Then waited another 30 minutes just for 1 pill to take to help calm down the twitches until i could talk to my family doctor who at the time was on holiday's so i had to wait 2 weeks to see her. That is just a example of our healthcare wait time. Other parts of it i will say is great. Got afew doctors out of McMaster that seem to not know what they are doing and others wont prescript helpful medication. For example, i use to get amoxicillin for my ears since i was 3 when the tubes in my ears collapsed and had fake ones put in to reopen my own tubes. But since then i keep getting infections. Amoxicillin helped alot with that. Now my new family doctor wont give it to me so now i have to suffer.
But enough of that. Now for roads.
All they do to fix the roads is either patch them or replace them with fresh ash vault. Like seriously? Heavy transport trucks ruins those almost instantly. All we need is a good heat wave and bam, freshly paved road ruined again. The only road here in Hamilton that hasn't need repairs is Parkdale Ave. since that is all cement which i think is a great idea and all roads should be cemented.
Our crime rate here needs help too. In just 1 week this year this city has had 2 murders. Thats pretty sad since today is only Jan 07 2014. And all last year there was lots of murders, robberies, drunk drivers, people not wearing seat belts, morons using their cellphone while driving and people dealing drugs. Police i think are doing a great job doing their best to fight crime but i think their should be more officers on the streets.
Also another improvement is we need tougher penalties and possibly bring back the death sentence. Maybe then these criminals will think twice before doing a crime.
Unemployment is still high with more and more companies closing because taxes and cost of operations are higher here then China. Those who are here have right high rates. Take cell phone providers for example. We Canadians pay through the noise for service. Even though im very happy with service and price with Fido, other Canadians are not with their provider. Cable and Fiber optics internet and TV service is the same way. High prices for shit service. Hell i think that goes for everything here.
Our government needs a good stiff kick in the common sense head. They lie to win a election then they lie to us after. The healthcare thing is a great example of that. Some of us Canadians like myself feel that we just vote in a mascot and the country is actually controlled by the banks. The saying "Voted by the people for the people" for the past few decades has been a load of bullshit.
So theres today's Canada in a nutshell. If anyone got any more questions about Canada please feel free to ask me on g+ or on the Great Canadian Grid, avatar name is Christina Vortex or watch the Rick Mercer Report on YouTube and on CBC. He tells all about today's Canada in the most funniest way possible :)

My observations of Walter
And i dont give a shit if the majority of Littlefield grid hates me for this but it needs to be said NOW.
What is said here is true. I don't find the point in lying at all.
For almost a year i have raised my eyebrow in real life alot over how this fool reacts to everything.
First thing is how he responds to anything related to children. He reacts to these situations very unprofessional. For example afew of us were chatting with him one night and he said that a gay couple wanted to have a baby. First off what is the problem with that other then the fact that no child avatars allowed. He went on in a anger voice saying "just don't let me see it" like wtf. So if i got with someone on lfg and we wanted to play family, we can't even have a prim baby or he will have a rage fit?
Another situation that he stupidly blabbed about is that he recently banned a pedophile. First off how would he have know that the newly joined person was a pedophile and why ban that person since, and here is where i started to question about him. There is no one under 18 allowed on the grid and no child avatars so there be no way for that pedophile to have "his fun". Maybe he just wanted to build, script and have adult only fun. After all the grid is adult only fun, great grid for registered sex offenders to go have fun without violating their parole.
Now onto his anger. Heads up, its way worst than mine surprisingly.
Starting with the recent bs.
I recently said on a hypergrid business post "finally a place i can call home" in response to the great canadian grid. I was referring to the fact that im Canadian and the grid is Canadian. I was planning to have LFG as my work place since Omen and I have tons of work to do that needed to be done by Jan 16, my 30th bday. Walter saw it last night and gave me one huge bitchfest rage fit and deleted my sim that I had paid for. I paid $80 for 4 sims in November that were taken down shortly after because i cant afford them, never got a refund, i had just 1 sim up and was moved, i figure that $80 went to pay off this 1 sim, guess his anger is affecting his judgement because he deleted it without issueing me a refund. Any mature person would of calmly ask me what i ment by that and ask what i plan on leaving LFG. I would of been more then happy to explain my plans to still stay on LFG as a job grid since thats where little tech first started. But after him going off on me last night, hell no.
Another rage fit from walter was Dec 26 when my friend Omen didnt do his dj show. First off, Omen is a nice guy and is has some rl issues to deal with, also its the day after christmas and the grid was dead when we were on so Omen didnt do his show. You think no biggy since its was the holiday's. Walter raged on him for a no show. Like fucking seriously? It was the fucking holiday's. Give the guy a break.
Theres been more times of walter not handling situations as a mature professional adult but i forgot them sorry.
So theres my view of Walter Balazic from my own eyes without influance from anyone else.
Everyone else on LFG i dont got a problem with, well except for Bubbles Journey only because i find her to be very bossy and more dummer then my ex stacy. In fact Bubbles makes my ex look smart. But thats the only problem i have with bubbles. Everyone else on LFG i love and will miss dearly. I really hope to see them soon on the Great Canadian Grid.

P.S. Just been thinking about this more and like to add something about couples having a virtual family. I personally don't really like to be around kids ONLY because of past history when i was a kid and so i dont really know how to act or say around them but i am learning. But i would never EVER make others suffer in a virtual world because of my own past.
