We took rag on our 4th attempt.
See Screenshot (i’m the Gnome in the Dreadmist Mask, to the left of the bear, in front of the dwarf ;] )
If you want a place to upload pictures and have them hosted, I’ve created a simple image uploading script which can be found here.
Finally, we’ve finished our second, and final, project for Projects 1. Code freeze was tonight and we got it in. I must say it’s probably the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever had the pleasure of working on, but it’s over. Seriously, why not use objects in an object oriented programming language? Classes, who needs those… I don’t really get it, but whatever. We turned in our Form1.cs that contained over 2500 lines of code and called it good. I’m hoping that next quarter I can get in a team with someone that has more knowledge of program design so that I can really learn how programs such as these are supposed to be coded.
I downloaded Flock today and it seems pretty cool. It has a built in blogging untility, which I’m testing out right now. Just a wild guess, but I’m going to say it’s based off the Firefox source, since it looks surprisingly similar.
The quarter is almost over, thank god. I’ll be happy to get back home for Christmas and hang out with all my old friends that’ll be there, unlike last time I came home when they were all gone at school, lol.
It’s been quite awhile but I figured since I’m paying for the hosting, I might as well post something up here. It’s now the second quarter here at Neumont, and I’m taking 6 classes:
* Collaboration and Interpersonal Communications I
* Development in the .NET Environment I
* Information Modeling I
* Linguistics
* Projects I
* Relational Databases I
The classes are harder, and I don’t have nearly has much free time as I did last quarter, but it’s still pretty cool. Learning all about .NET/C#, databases, and team work has been really fun. Today I had my Linguistics mid-term, which seems to be really early since this is only the 3rd or 4th week of school, but whatever. I think I did pretty good on it.
Some friends and I decided to pick up the classic game Age of Empires 2, and the four of us were up until one this morning doing a multiplayer game. It was 2v2 and it lasted over five and a half hours. My side attacked and forced someone out of their base, and they had to rebuild inside his teammate’s base. Then after they got their stuff built back up and defended our attacks, came back with tons of guys and whomped my team. It was pretty fun since I haven’t played that game in over four years.
I still play WoW, but not so much anymore. I’ve been so busy with all this school work that I haven’t had a lot of time for all that.
There’s my quick update. Leave me some comments or send me an email.
WoW has pretty much taken over my life. When I get home from school, I get on WoW, during the weekends; you won’t find me in downtown Salt Lake City. No, you’ll find me on Tichondrius as a Gnome Warlock with the username Qwik.
I added a section to my photos page where I can post all the pictures I take for my digital photography class. Right now there’s only one, but I should end up getting more.
Today we had to take a VXML quiz, which was pretty easy, but VXML really sucks. It’s a way of programming applications for users to access via telephones. The class is a survey course where we just briefly touch on a few subjects. The next topic we cover is GDI, which should be pretty fun. My mom said that if I get all A’s in my classes, she’ll get me a new computer, that should be pretty cool.
Since it’s almost 1A.M. I’m going to go to bed. Later.
I’ve fallen victim to World of Warcraft. I think it can happen to anyone. I play on the Tichondrius (PVP) server. I’m a level 23 Gnome Warlock that goes by the name of Qwik. Look me up, give me some gold, I won’t turn it down. I just recently figured out about the battlegrounds. I wish somebody would have told me about these things sooner. They’re awesome, you go in and play capture the flag, and kill tons of horde. Anyways, I’d really recommend going to Pure Pwnage (Music) and downloading the song World of Warcraft is a Feeling. It pretty much sums up the people that get involved with WoW. Also, download all the videos; they’re a really good watch.
As far as school goes, I got put into the advanced C# class. I decided to setup a wiki for people to reference if they get stuck or something. You can check it out here. “WTF” has become the slogan for the advanced C# class. Currently we’re creating our own Integer data type. We have to overload all the operators and everything. Can you say, “WTF?”

Well, tomorrow I’ll have been here for a week, and I’m having one of the greatest times of my life. Student by day, gamer by night has become my new way of life.
I’m taking four classes, they are:
I’m in school from 8AM to 4PM. It’s very tedious and we cover things very quickly. If everything goes like they should, I will be out in 28 months. In a way I can’t wait to get out, while at the sametime, I really want to stay here forever. I have just found the new freedom of hanging out with friends and playing video games whenever I want. Sweet….
Since it is 1AM, I’m going to goto bed. Tomorrow is friday and we decided we’d volunteer our apartment for a progressive dinner tomorrow night. So we can meet even more people. Later.
After trying to get the images on top to actually look good as a transparent gif, instead of a transparent png, I’ve decided that this site is just too cool for IE. For a web browser to not support standard features, is completely ridiculous. If you’d like to see what this page is SUPPOSED to look like. I recommend you download a new browser and use IE as a secondary web browser. Firefox is a great web browser. Opera is another good one. At least try another browser so you can see how lousy Internet Explorer really is.
