Class is back in session

Well last week, the Fall Quarter began at the college I am going to. The classes I am taking are Intro to Visual Basic and Accounting, the latter one I nearly fall asleep every time while sitting in it. So every morning, I have to get up at 6:30, get ready and leave around 7:15ish so I can fight traffic for 30 minutes, sit in a klass for 2 hours, wait 3 hours before I go to my next klass, then come home. Luckly I don't have class on Friday or Saturday.

As usual with most programming languages we started off with a "Hello World" program. Well, the instructor and the klass did, I just screwed around made a "Say What You Want Program".

Here are some shots of what they did and what I did(Click image for larger shot):

What they did:

What I did:

PT1:

PT2:

It took me a little longer to do mine, but most of it was done by the time they finished up with their stuff. I am probably going to start on an HTML editor so that I can write blogs using Google Chrome (can't use editor while using chrome)

Asside from my klasses being 3 hours apart, they are also on opposite sides of the campus. One is near one entrance, while the other is near the other. Me being my cheap self decided to just walk to the second klass and walk back. It's really not that long a walk, it's around a quarter mile or so. It's just that I have to carry 3 books and my computer with me. There's really no need for the computer, but I take it incase the lecture gets REALLY boring, lol. It is good exercise though.


So according to the head of the Blackout Day, danmod sent them a message saying the message was recieved, which they posted the "supposed message" in their blog. I have my doubts about that message, so I am PMing danmod tomorrow to see if he really sent the message. It's easy to copy and paste something, but I want a screencap of the item or the sender to actually post and say they sent it. I'll post what I find out sometime next week.

With the Fall Anime Season started, I will post my thoughts on most of the non-child animes being aired. So far my picks for the season are Toradora and To Aru Majutsu no Index.


Once again no comments to reply to
Well for those of you who have seen Clannad you should know the character in this picture:

Whazzat! Strike?! Go ahead and TRY./Other things

So I was browsing the Redesign Feedback board yesterday and I came across and new topic about a user proposing a strike of all CNet sites from Oct.1 to Oct.7. My initial thought was; "Great another retard trying to force something that won't even happen." Well upon reading the topic, my initial thought was mostly correct. A few posts here and a few posts there, nothing much has changed. The person still doesn't get that their wasting their time. So I've decided to support this person. By "support" I mean, log on like usual and take care of the guides owned by the people who decide to particpate, lol.


Well on to other things, I am using IE7 as my browser again. What made Google Chrome so fast, made it kinda sluggish on my unhealthy 2 bar barely there signal. Thus I am forced to use my true browser (note: If anyone is thinking of recomending Firefox, don't. I do not like Firfox since it froze my system for 5-10 minutes several times.).

I have made some modifications to my signature. I removed some other quotes for;

"Add some bite to that bark, that is, if you like bitting with toothless gum"
"Life is not about getting what you want, but having with what you got. So deal with it and shut up!"
"A complaint heard twice is a complaint to many."
"The Internet is NOT a democracy. It's a dictatorship."

I sort of have a feeling that there aren't going to be to many comments following this blog. My guess is that I get 3 at the most(that are not mine) and lose 4 or 5 people who say they are my friends.


Espen: I would use it for my standard browser, but I just prefer having toolbars. Also, Chrome was too slow on my computer. When I get my own cable line for internet, then it would be better to use.

I have started replying to comments in my blogs more ofter, so after you have posted, check back a little while later, I may have replied to your comment.


So I had a little difficulty deciding what image I wanted to use from pixiv, after some thought I decided to use this one:

Unfortunetly I can't post their username because there is a character in their name I can't find the html code for. So here's a link to the image itself. (As usual you must have an account to view the full image)

Look doesn't really bother me, just the bugs [Edit]Comments replied too.

So this is my first blog since the redesign of Tv.com(note: I am posting this from Tv.com. I have been using Google Chrome for a little while, so I haven't been able to use the editor since before the redesign because Chrome doesn't accept the editor or something like that). I have to say, I really don't mind the change. Now saying that doesn't mean I like the change, I am just not bothered by it as a lot of other people are. But it was stupid of them not to beta the site first. Extremely stupid. Anyways, I am used to the white background since a lot of sites I browse/browsed have white backgrounds. The bugs are to be expected, they're not building off site already like this like they did with the first redesign, although a beta could've helped avoid some of these bugs. I have been watching the feedback forum and I feel that some of those topics should have been locked or deleted and the users given a TOS. The board is for feedback from users on the site, not a place for users to make cracks about the site and complain about the same thing over and over again.

With all that said, I did accurately predict that the site would have a lot of bugs after the redesign. And after reading all the complaints and other things, ZI can't help but replay one of Cortana's quotes from Halo 3; "This is the way the world ends".

Oh, before I forget. If you are confused on how to work with the new Tv.com, check out more_ncis_now's thread "Working with TV.com Wide - The new layout.
{Edit}Just saw this over at maritimers00's blog, when you accidentally double post or hit submit with a blank message, here is the message that comes up: Please do not submit blank messages. You are such a jerk! LMAO


So what's been new with me? Nothing much. Still looking for a new job. I know now that if someone says they can definitely get me a job, go apply and don't expect much. Well that's what I have determined since two different people told me they could get me a job and I went and applied at both places only to not even get called in for a job interview. It may be different with other people, but I really am not going to expect much.


No need for replies to comments from my last blog. I already a replied to them under my last blog.


Got another image from pixiv. last if you are reading this it's another pic of Hatsune Miku. lol


This one was done by bob (You must have account to view full image)

Well time for me to get off, I guess Calintz(my cat) wants to use the computer. He's got his paw on the Touch Pad and is just staring at me, lol. Adios. ☆

I am 20/ Google Chrome

Well I turned 20 three days and a week ago. Congrats to last and logi who were the only ones who knew .


Has anyone every heard of Google Chrome? It's a new web browser created by Google and is supposed to be quite fast. Not quite sure about that, but it does seem like a good web browser, even though it is still in the Beta stage. If you have no clue what I am talking about here are some links:

Screenshot
Blog
Beta Download

My only problem with it so far is that I have to code this blog in Notepad, then insert it in because the browser doesn't recognize the text box as a text box. Also although it's a Google Browser, I still find myself using Yahoo as my search engine, lol.


Well I have been doing some serious guide work and have caught Kanokon completely up and am about to catch Nabari no O(nearly done) and Special A up as soon as I finish this. Speaking of which, I picked up a new guide after catching it up completely. The guide is for Wagaya no Oinari-sama, my favorite pick for the Spring Season. Although I am glad I got it, I took it from YamiNarutoBrief (sorry bout that, just make sure you take Persona and we can call it even). Anyways, click the spoiler for info on the show.

***SPOILER***



A funny thing about the whole take over, when I got enough points to get the guide, I was given immediately. In my profile it took it a while to catch up and when it showed I was editor for the guide, it also still showed me as TU for the guide. Here's a screenshot:


Response to comments from last blog:

asian_lamia: Sorry I had removed the link from the picture and put it below it.

RP: I have the same problem as well.

P_G: Hopefully pretty soon I won't have a minute to spend on the computer, depending on whether I get that job or not.

last: Who is Hatune Miku?


Well guess I will end this blog with another pic. This time it is by tearfish:

That's unlucky/How long could it take *Image fixed

So my family likes to play so friendly poker every week, so I went over to join in. We play change poker for a couple hours then play chip poker. Well four of a kind is rare at best no matter how many people are playing, well last night 3 times someone had 4 of a kind. What's bad is I was always playing against the person who had it, it was always me and only me who went against them. Now that is pretty unlucky no matter how many ways you look at it. It's ok though, I came back from 17 chips(out of 75) to win.


While I was waiting on a site to come back online, so I could use it to do some work on my guides, I decided to see how long it would take and how many profiles I would have to go through before I returned to my profile. What I mean is; picking a random person on my tracked list then pick a random person on their tracked list till I saw my user name on someone's tracked list. So I started on anthonykomonski's profile and ended on ShadowTheHHFan's profile, going through 23 profiles total, before I got back to mine. This could be called blopping, but I only read a handful of blogs and I didn't comment once. The entire list is in the SPOILER. How many profiles would you guys have to go through to get back your profiles.

***SPOILER***


STQ: I see. I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what that meant.

RP: I went through it twice before. Once with my original X-box and now this time. I still have my PS2, but when KH3 and FF XIII come out, I am going to be forced to buy a PS3 so I can play them. I have gotten a lot of those PMs as well. I think abdout 137 are from people tracking me.

P_G: I would have been back sooner, but I just didn't have the time. I just kinda let get out of hand, I'll eventually read them all. Or delete them all... Don't yell at him to much, he was wanting to talk to you.

anthony: Ok, I'll participate next time I see it. Yeah it is quite a few PMs

logi: Close but not all the way there yet, I dunno when I am going to read them all. Thanks. I don't mind the cat, well I did want to throw him outside after he crapped in my room, he just likes to attack people's feet.

STQ, SPD: Red Ring means general hardware failure in the system. Most of the time it means the mother board is no good.

Espen: I dunno how I get so many PMs. I just do.

last: I'll take it. When I finally get back into subing it'll most likely increase to over 1000.

danbambridge: I am to lazy to delete anything, so I just leave em as unread.

lyoko: I have been level 50 since sometime in June.

RP: It's not the software, just the hardware.


Well I'll end this blog with a pic:

About Me

What to say in these things is the biggest decision of people's lives. Well not really I just thought I would exxagerate a little, ok a lot. Well what can I say about myself, well here goes. The names David as of Friday August 25, 2006 I am 18. **** yeah, I can now officially tell the world to kiss my *** and be heard. Does anyone who is reading this got a cigarette? Anyways, I love Anime it's best thing in the world other then the ladies, family, food, ok it is not the number 1 best thing in the world but it is still awesome. My favorite anime is Naruto, and my favorite anime character, Hinata Hyuga(Spell it wrong and your dead), comes from the same show. Figures, right? I like Dragons, how dumb does a person have to be to not get that? I usually go by the nickname Demon around my friends, don't ask, and that is what I call myself sometimes. Well I guess that is about it.
