Apo Networks Issue...What issue are we up to? I lost count.
Well it has been a while between classic issues. Does that mean that nothing classic happened? Of course not. I mean sure we have had those "Same story different day" days, but we also had those crazy days. One of the things I have regretted is that I have not had the time to work on the site.
Lately I have been living it up as "The one" a nickname given to me by Joey. And as we all know it is not easy being the one. In fact Nick, Andres, and Myself created the Genius club. The Genius club is not a club for geniuses as the name suggests. It is actually a support group for geniuses. you see Andres became a genius the day everyone found out he was good with electrical equipment and professor S's computer architecture lab was due. In one day Andres went from a "Kid with a sick mind" to "Mr. Andres." Yes for that one days Andres was on top of the world. All of a sudden everyone knows you and likes you and needs your help. Nick became a member of the genius club because he became the clubs driver.
Yes Nick is a genius by definition because Genius's give help to people who need it. Actually you might say Nicks Car was the genius because all of a sudden, Nick becomes the man everyone talks about, when they get hungry or need a favor. The poor kid. That is the life of a genius.
We all know Val "Marlboro man" he is in his own right a genius. Val and I have mutually decided that whatever we do we have to go to different schools because "There can be only one" in each school. Val can really give me a run for my money when it comes to programming. Actually I was glad their was no programming contest this year because Val might have stripped me of the title.
You see as Marvin has told me to be a programming master you must posses at least 7 deadly styles. no one knows exactly how many deadly styles their are but one knows what styles they have and are the masters of. Here is the rundown of how Val and I compare
| Name & Hackername | Cisco Routing Tiger Style | Java GUI event handling style | Shoulin Recursive algorithms | Stylish Photoshop Images | SQL Server Kwon Do | Object Oriented Devastation | 80 K Job successful Programmer Style | Basic Visual Attack Style |
| Ed-Apo | Yes | No | Yes | Never | Yes | Yes | No | YES |
| Val-Val44d | In progress | Master | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | No | YES |
Val and I are both masters of two incredible lost arts. One of these deadly programming styles is Fortran. The other is Basic. Unfortunately these styles have been lost to antiquity and we may end up taking these secrets to our death.
But who is to decides who is a master? Well there is actually a council that decides who is the one. This council is all the computer science majors in our school. You see the more people you help, the more the Fame of your incredible programming style spreads throughout the land. However its is also important to gain the respect of other masters including Rohan, who is an elite, master that has managed to score 4.0 in all his computer classes but has no wish to be regarded as the one.
I have always worried about Val becoming the one. If he did I may consider seppuku. However my fears subsided as I came to the realization that cigarettes may be Val's undoing. In addition Val has set his sites higher. Val is trying to gain the power of the legendary and mystical NBronson. NBronson is the man from http://www.TopCoder.com that was able to achieve a score of 3033 out of 3000!. Power at this level is incomprehendable. How can a man score 3033 out of 3000? If Val were to gain NBronsons ability his styles would be to great for even me to neutralize.
Rebel Skateboarding closes its doors
Many a .com company have collapsed in these troubled times. Who would have thought that the infamous http://www.rebelskateboarding.com would be the next casualty in the war. POW-MIA. As of December 10, 2001 www.RebelSkateboarding.com will no longer be around. Lets take a look back the site through the archives on Ape-Networks EdwardCapriolo.com site.

As you know Edward Capriolo.com has had a theme song. But it was not
until now that we had a slogan. "Even the score" You can
"Even the score" in two ways. One is viewing this site, the
other is by viewing
my page on rebels and giving me more bragging rights. EVEN THE SCORE
BABY!

28 June 2001- It's Ova Hat. Its Ova. |
|

Here is the deal. Today was exam day. I had two exams
calculus and Networking Semester 2. I was up till 3 am studying the calc.
Honestly it did not help me that much, the practice test was a lot
different but I think I did ok. Well enough to pass anyway. However
Networking is not like that I get instant gratification. 93 on the final
and about 93 overall. If I know how to average right that is. As of this
moment I am 50% Cisco certified. Or you might say in calculus terms my
rate of Cisco certification dc/dt = 1/4 Cisco t. Where 1/4 and Cisco are
constants and t is the scalar for time. |

07 July 2001- The van has returned |
|
|
|
Yup they found Mikes VAN. Someone had switched the doors off it and then abandoned it in Mt. Virus. That is right they left it "Burnin Vernon". I plan on releasing a more detailed account of the incidents in issue 13, but as of now I suspect the VAN was used as a second generation Shagin Wagon. Issue 13 is on its way to press. Mike make me a song damn it!. When you guys see me you are going to be surprised. |

28 July 2001- The Westchester World Tour!!! |

!!!!
Classic !!!! Today Mike talked me into going to Brooklyn Banks to
skate. So were were all skating, and having a lot of fun. All of a sudden
Rodney Torres who is a Pro skater from the city shows up. In fact a bunch
of pros start stowing up. and then we heard it.
Team Zero was coming. None of us could really believe it until. This big white van pulls up and who steps out but the Zero team and Jamie Thomas, who is the best skater in the world! If you do not recognize the name he is in Tony Hawks Pro Skater!! Can it get any better? Yes it can. So we have three video cameras, and we are filming Jamie! We have so much footage! We have a picture with Jamie and the entire rebels Skateboarding team. For more news check out http://www.rebelskateboarding.com Mike is going to upload the team picture with Jamie!!! |
Hum I seem to remember more news then this. In any case there has been a startling turn of events. Mike has told me that he site is still fully functional. he says and I quote "They can not take rebel skateboarding down they would not dare". What can be said about Rebel Skateboarding? we had those great moments. We never got that video out but you never know what the future may hold. I remember the things I did as a Rebel. I jumped off my roof. Mike threw a super x large sized milkshake onto some car from the top of the Pavilion Parking Garage. We drove though massive piles of leaves and then accidentally overwrote the tape. And we did something great. We skated with the legends. I invented the classic slide. Even though it can be only be done in games like Tony Hawk's Pr Skater.
Other classic mike quotes

but seriously if we ever wanna have a cool party down my basement, one day we gotta go down there and clean the fuck out of that place and move some stuff out of the way. and rap some kind of pillows around that cement pole, like they do in the nba, so that no sweet hoes crash into it in the dark

This year was more then ironic. Friends went away, friends came back. I took physics lab again to get a better grade and I ended up failing it. The year is coming to a close and who knows what crazy stuff will happen in the next few days. Its been a wild trip thanks everyone.
