Contemplation
Current Mood:calm
Current Music: Iron Maiden - Flash of the Blade
Well now, I've been gone a while haven't I? In all honesty, I've been contemplating whether or not I even want to come back... What with so many others taking indefinite leaves of absence, why shouldn't I jump the bandwagon :P I guess it's just not the same as it was used to. I've felt this way for quite some time really, but now I'm actually saying something (clearly).
I've also been rather busy, though I'm not sure if it really matters much. Picked up another programming language in my absence - VB.NET, and I've been working on polishing what I know of C++. I ordered some very nice computer parts as well, but one of the components bad, most likely the motherboard, which I'll be needing to send back before I lose the ability to do so. I've also been trying a new linux distribution, well, new to me. Kubuntu Linux is quite nice, pretty easy to use, and brings a few things to the field that debian doesn't quite do. On other topics, school has been going well(I'm currently in a c++ class now, as well as a boring class in marketing), and work is mundane as ever.
On more recent notes, I've started working on my website again - the topic this time around? I've pieced together a database, so far it's only holding the quotes from the quotes page, but later I'll have it incorporate other things. I've got that page up now, note that it is in php, so I've finally got off my butt and started using it, even if it's only a start. It pulls the quotes out of a database, and then displays them. It's nothing flashy now, but will be more feature-rich as I learn more. You can see that here.
On still another note, I've finally got in touch with my old friend Ricky, after months without communication, it turns out he joined up with the army, made his way through basic training, got married to Joy, and is now stationed in a garrision in Germany for processing. I swear if they send him to Iraq I'll can both his ass and theirs...that would piss me off so much. No point in sending people off to die without a purpose.
I also wanted to say I hope everybody had a good Turkey Day. I know I did, what with the Turkey and all, and yum, and full, and yeah. Anyway, that's all for my post, maybe I'll follow up on more of this later. Maybe |
