Physics Mid-term tomorrow. So instead of studying.. I cleaned my car. (NOT WASHED), but I cleaned the sucker. Lol wink Vacuumed and cleaned inside and windexed/cleaned windows. That's it. I call it dirty-clean. Clean to me (driving from inside) and dirty to people observing me drive. Eh.. all that matters is me anyway. tear

Look at pictures of my dirty-clean car

Any PHP coders out there?

PHILOADER SIX

Heres the plan. Photoshop 8 (cs) is coming out soon and the year anniversary of Philoader SIX is coming up on us as well (January 18, 2003). I have always had a lot of things planned for my website, but have never been able to put all the pieces together. Philoader SIX looked promising. Looked. The problem with the system that was running Philoader SIX was that it was complicated and hard to manage.. I want to change all that.

Introducing: PDN-Manager 1.0 - A PHP backbone written specifically to manage tutorials/articles/news. Nothing fancy, just the basics. You select how many steps and it creates a table inside a template for you. You upload pictures on the left.. and write descriptions for them on the right as well as a description of the tutorial or whatever. Submit, and you're done. Easy said.. hard to get done, at least for me...

Anyway... Theres a lot more stuff planned for Philoader SIX, year two.. but I need to get this backbone together first. If anyone would like to help me learn PHP or even code it for me.. it'd be great. grin Let me know via comment or whatever...

Philoader SIX, year two - Release date: January 18, 2004. Mark it on your calendars kids. wink

School sucks.

October 28, 2003 - 1:14 PM

I skipped phycics today in hopes to study for physics. Ironic, I know. I ended up just sitting here on my laptop for a long time. Burned through 72% of my 2 batteries on the laptop. Seems like an error? Maybe my batteries aren't fully charging, which would be a major issue since I wasn't doing anything stressful to the processor. *shrug*. Physics midterm coming up on thursday. I still don't know shit about Physics. I need to study. I did do my calculus hw with varying success though.. so thats out of the way. Tonight? English and Physics. Need to do physics hw. Need help. If anyone can help me, let me know. :|

Ok. The orange is getting me sad. Its ugly. Really ugly. New layout already? Hmm.. or maybe I need to rework the random images to all orange/blue. Thats all for now....

Online hw fucking sucks.

Online homework sucks. Well, just MC WEB.

Lol. I need to get 75% to get full credit and I was already 8/9. grin

A plead for mercy..

MC web sucks. 4 Hours later. 0 points.

Dr. Mrs. B. J. Finlayson-Pitts,

The electronic homework isn?t working out for me. I just can?t get it. The last two weeks I got scores of 6 and 0 because I couldn?t get 75% before 12:00. This is the third week that I have failed to score full points. You?re probably thinking that I should be starting the homework a lot earlier and that may be one solution. For the homework due on 10/16/03 I started the homework at 9:00 and failed to get 75% correct before 12:00. A lot of the attempts will not show because I usually close the window If it is impossible to get 75% (i.e. missing 2 problems out of 10). I read the help and follow the examples on the MCWEB, but the last two weeks especially have been inconsistent because the help doesn?t cover specific problems. I spent four hours today, thinking that was enough time, but I failed myself again.

Another week where I have failed to meet the requirement (that?s three now). I?m not even sure I?m learning from the homework. I understand it is beneficial to other students, but wouldn?t it be better if the questions did not change, but instead the answers weren?t given? I have online homework for Calculus as well, but the problem set is always the same and you can go back and forth. I find that more effective because if I miss a problem I can find out why and get help specifically and then correct myself. It seems with the McWeb, I am gambling. If a student is doing the homework and he/she makes a mistake.. well, he/she can?t. I am concerned because I even struggled with the assignments (1-3) even though I thought I understood the concepts. I have attempted various methods of doing the homework. 2 Weeks ago, I looked at the help online (the button to the left of instructions) and followed their examples. It helped to a certain extent, but it seems like I just can?t get 75% right. This week I read the chapter in the book as well as all 14 help pages (they didn?t go over specific problems this time) as well as getting help from my friend on every single problem, but I can?t get away from this.

There have been numerous times where I am rolling through the questions with pretty good accuracy only to come back and hit the backspace button (refreshing the box) and making me start over. It seems today that I learned more about this section reading the book and getting help from people than doing this frustrating homework. The only thing I?m gaining from this online homework is the opportunity to take more asprin. I have consistently been spending over 3 hours on each homework assignment only to be greeted with a zero or six score and a big headache. I don?t understand because it isn?t like I?m not trying or anything. I started to read the chapter and the help online today at 8:00, so it took me four hours to score a zero? What am I doing wrong? What can I do to successfully complete the homework assignments? Please help me. :-(

new keyboard (updated pictures)

October 21, 2003 - 3:54 PM

Woot. My new keyboard came in the mail today. Its hooked up right now. It lights up really nicely, the only thing bugging me is that they keys are not dell-like. By this I mean not "clicky" so naturally my wpm times have fallen because of this thing.. but it does look cool so I'll give it that. grin




the money shot





The keyboard is ok .. for now. The backspace key is tiny which is annoying and the spacebar as well as a couple keys seem to be hit and miss... having problems typing and its really annoying :| but it looks bomb as fuck.. so.... i might plug in my other keyboard for typing and leave this here for show

crushed by reality..

October 13, 2003 - 8:17 PM

The excitement inside me was reaching an insane high. I felt as if I was about to burst inside. The ideas and possibilities were floating around my mind like atoms inside a hot container. I cleared my desk, tossing everything in sight off of it around me.. I sat down, adjusted my leather chair and proceeded to windex my glass desk to a spotless clean. There. I was ready.

I sat back and opened up a couple of new documents in Photoshop and Illustrator and started to draw and then.. suddenly. My mind was blank. Reality kicked in and I realized I was nothing, I had nothing. Those ideas in my head were no more than.. well, nothing. Just ideas. They are still ideas, and I am still here.. haunted by the fact that I couldn't do shit.

I have a lot of things on my mind right now. School. Mid-terms. and at the same time I'm taking up a monumental task. I wanted to finish today, but that looks unlikely. Philoader v6.2 is on its way too, hopefully, which will be somehting new and refreshing. I'm going to stay with SIX because I like the number and made the logo already... going to learn PHP and stuff, should be cool. Anyway.. ergh, I'm out. Homework time.

Kill Bill : Volume One (sucks)

October 11, 2003 - 6:42 PM

I'm not even going to devote that much space to this review. I watched the movie and from what I saw.. it sucks. The movie (during filming) took up so much footage that they decided to split the movie into two parts. Dumb.

I'm assuming both parts combined would make for one 4 hour movie because the first part wasn't anything at all. An introduction to say the least. The scenes are long and boring.. leading to chaos and confusion. Nothing really get explained except that "Black Mamba" aka Uma Thurman is out to get revenge on Bill and his 4 members..

uh.. ok. And then the movie just ends. The only cool thing about the movie is the action sequences which are masterfully correographed.. but I didn't like the massive amounts of blood. :| I'm really disappointed.

The movie tries comedy as well, but fails.

Don't watch this one. Maybe they'll package PT1 and PT2 in a double-DVD set for 10 dollars (which would be half of what you'd pay going to the theatres twice anyway) in a year. I would save my money on this one folks.

Phi's rating: 2/10.

Updates.

October 10, 2003 - 10:35 PM

Damn. Midterms are coming up. I'm still buying camera stuff.. but I unexpectedly bought this when I came to school to find it was super cold. A UCI sweatshirt, so now I have two. A black one and a blue one.

Theres a UCI IMPORTS thing going on during midterm week. I think I'm going to go. I want to make some UCI friends. I have a couple... but we don't kick it. I want some social events in my life. Damn. Pho. Anything. Shit.

infrared remote.. woot grin (triggers shutter on cam)

abesent mindedness

October 1, 2003 - 9:58 PM

I've been feeling so absent minded as of late. I can't concentrate on anything I do and I get too easily distracted. I doubt its some kind of disorder, its just like.. I can't get things straight for myself. Especially with school starting, I just can't seem to grasp the fact that its here and I have to start working. I guess I'm kind of like an old machine that has to warm up before I can start working at full capacity.. or well, at any capacity whatsoever. I went to Staples today to buy pens and notebooks and paper and hanging folders. I'm hoping I can get organized enough to actually learn something and do well in school, but things are so difficult for me. I haven't ever taken Calculus and now I'm taking Physics and Calculus and I don't know whats going on.. meaning, I have to study more, but I'm getting off on a bad foot.

Things have to always be so complicated. I hate it.
