Clean green whirls

So a name space is a container for....names....And a name is...well...A name is something else. it is like setting a scope that can be applied to multiple functions/objects(?).

"A namespace is an abstract container or environment created to hold a logical grouping of unique identifiers or symbols (i.e., names). An identifier defined in a namespace is associated with that namespace. The same identifier can be independently defined in multiple namespaces. That is, the meaning associated with an identifier defined in one namespace may or may not have the same meaning as the same identifier defined in another namespace. Languages that support namespaces specify the rules that determine to which namespace an identifier (i.e., not its definition) belongs.

For example, Bill works for company X and his employee ID is 123. John works for company Y and his employee ID is also 123. The reason Bill and John can be identified by the same ID number is because they work for different companies. The different companies in this case would symbolize different namespaces. There would be serious confusion if the two men worked for the same company, and still had the same employee ID. For instance, a paycheck issued to employee ID 123 would not identify which man should receive the check.
"....What?

So is a 'namee a variable? var bill = 123?

ugh...

I hate “googlers”, people that say “Have you tried googling it?” before attempting to answer a question.

I cooked this today http://www.recipezaar.com/Stuffed-Shiitake-Mushrooms-336612 It was alright, just not what I had expected. I probably just did it wrong. I was trying to make a "monkey ball" which seems to be like tempura'fied Shiitake Mushrooms with some sort of sweet and spicy mayonnaise sauce.

Silly girl, if you want to go around stabbing people you're gonna need a lot more knives and stuff than that. http://www.onemanga.com/Fist_of_the_North_Star/33/17/ Shigure Kōsaka understands this..

I've been away from this scene for a long time but I recently stumbled on this song. It is pleasant I think.


I did some cleaning/rearanging today. My workspace is a bit cleaner

Than it was before.


It isn't really that it is 'cleaner' but there is a lot more open space and that seems less crowded. I like that.

And so blender, when I start it, seems to...cause a reinitialization...of my screen/video output but doesn't really do too good of a job:


Everything is all black 'n stuff:


I have to fire up one of the password dialogs to get it back. (ಠ_ ಠ )

This is pretty much Internet littering. Uploading all kinds of silly little videos.


One problem with working with a project that is in high production is that sometimes between version as subtle as 241 and 248 buttons have been radically renamed and placed in totally different locations.

Spent about an hour looking for the 'vert' button to find out it was placed under "visualization" and named "line" for particles

Water glass ice stuff

I went outside today, it has been a while so it seemed like a new experience. I went to the store to get some milk, ended up getting all kinds of candy and milk. There is really only so much you can do without candy. Candy is a necessity. So is chips 'n dip, so says certain foreigners. Candy and mushrooms. Didn't manage to get any milk. I donno how that happened.

I woke up today at around 6 to 6:30ish to an empty house...Alone, nothing new there. I tried to work on my little project but, for now it is far above my skill level. I'll have to put it on hold. I can do something similar to this:


this:



But mine looks really....generic. I need to figure out how to get away from that.

You'd think the mechanical part would be the hard part. But the hard part is getting partials to go in a direction I want them to in a manor I want them to. And to have something explode and not have gravity effect the resulting matter.

What makes a machine good at rendering? Does it need to be all around strong. Will upgrading the processor or ram make it better? Sometimes when I render my little bars, those that tell me how stressed the machine is, sometimes indicate high ram usage sometimes high processor sometimes both. I don't really know what I'm talking about....( ó ωò)

I had a relapse today I wanted to try out that new thing they have “Fields of Valor” or some such jazz. You visit an object (a floating book) which gives you a training regime, which is pretty much just a hit list, you go out and waist those fools and get exp, I think it is EXP in addition to the EXP you get for the kills. I went out on level 75 samurai Tachi: Kasha'ing lvl 1 mobs (800~900 damage to something that has like...20hp). Turns out you have to actually gain EXP for it to count as a kill. “They're all gray to me”.

Having a blog is nice when you blog at the end of the day. That way it makes you feel like there is a bit of urgency to complete things. Or produce something to put on display. Keep you busy. Helps kill the 4 hours of extended mouse clicking. Maybe it'll make me a better writer too.

Meh.

I wish this thing would render quicker, it has been rendering for the past 30 minutes and is only on the 38th frame, 38 of 250. _/>o

Hora!

Lava makes a great disinfectant. However one of the best things about lava is that it is 100% all natural so it is totally safe for the environment. I picked up a book for blender and on the “Who should read this” section there was a bit that came out as 'People that know whats up.' After spending about an hour trying to figure out the first 3 pages of the first project I realized that I am not one of those people. I did however finish the segment and then went to go find a bit on on fluid simulation. My lava ball didn't come out at all like the one in the book. I need to redo it a few times.





Today I also found two IRC channels that I'mma try and frequent; one on general programming ##programming and the blender IRC channel #blender. Both are on irc.freenode.net.

Tomorrow I'm going to make a bridge and try to do a bit more on the ASP.NET bit. Spent the day wrestling with the idea of “NameSpaces” Still donno if I know what those really are. There aren't any definitions for retards out there. Everything gets really confusing really fast. I donno why this is so hard.

What is your ring tone? When I get a text message or email my phone shouts “HORA!” which is something like “HEY!”, “Look at me!”, “Now look'a here”. I got it by taking apart a flash soundboard I found for Misao Kusakabe from Lucky star.

http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/181317/flash-kusakabe-misao-lucky-star-soundboard from the left hand side click on the first object in the third row(ほら).

When it rings it plays a midi version of the pururin theme song from Welcome to the N.H.K. But it is really soft because I don't know how to up the pitch....Meh....

I'm a *nix user, my current choice is Ubuntu I update a week after a major version release I dual boot windows to help with my cocai....Final Fantasy Eleven addiction. Having said that this makes me sorta sad: http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/12/linux-stop-holding-our-kids-back.html . I wander what OS the kid was demonstrating.

今日は

じゃ。。。。Today was alright I suppose. I had the last two of three interviews for a developer position that I've been pulled into applying for. I think I passed two of the three total interviews. I don't think I did very well on one because I wasn't as talkative as I probably should have been. I did send thank you letters and stuff.
Before and after the interview I was doing a bit of reading up on C# and The ASP.NET framework so far so good. I also got to do some blender I made some balls, not my own, grow and shrink. The blender bit was a bit more interesting.



After all that I did a bit of FFXI, I leveled Black Mage. It's funny; I've gotten 3 jobs to 75, 3 jobs to their 50's, and a bunch of 37~ jobs however Black Mage was the very first job I started to level and it is still stuck at 61. I've decided not to play FFXI until I can return to my old server. Yeah, recently I did a server migration to meet up with a friend but they never talk to me and only reply with one liners like “oh”, “lol”, and “ok”.....Meh... During the FFXI bit I lurked OkCupid, that was depressing.
