Realized that I hate most/all OS "bling"....I was messing around with the RGBA Window Transparency nonsense in ubuntu and now I cannot have a peaceful desktop session without compiz enabled or windows just blink on and off and move about the screen....Personally I ignorantly blame ATI because a lot of things don't work with this card and I'm gonna go and say that this is one of those things. Regardless, 10.04 is coming out soon and I hope to upgrade to an nvidia card and slap on 8GB of ram....You can never have enough ram.
I found out that I often sit around and think about my languages and don't really write what I think about down. This makes it harder to remember later on. with that in mind I've made this; http://aggigo.blogspot.com/, this way I can go back and look at what I was thinking about in the off chance I come to a new understanding.
So, FFXI is raising the level cap to 99....I wander how that's gonna pan out....Means I have about 6 jobs I need to go from 75 to 99 with....I sure hope I don't have to fight Maat to get there....I really really hope it's 'easy' to get to 99, it's only 24 levels.
I think I've gotten my bug back so I want to try programming more....I had lost it due to the rigors of a previous position. I think firstly I'll finish up the "site" and then work on something I have in "aggidev". Blender 2.50 should be out later this year so I should probably catch up on my blender...It's been a "while" since I've done much with blender eh...?
Someone I know recently had a new baby. Lotta people I know are spawning....someone else I know has a kid who asks questions and then says "okay" no matter what the answer is. Would sometimes say okay just to say okay.
Today there were two of them; they ate through my patients almost immediately? and they were here for less than 30 minutes. Brushed up on my languages and the game "my Japanese coach" says I'm about a kindergartner and "my Spanish coach" says I'm a toddler.
Another thing, of many things, that I don't know is why no one has done this before especially since there are so many Spanish, French, and Portuguese results for "conjugation trainer". I guess I'll find that out soon enough! Lets see how quickly this falls through the holes...
I've got all of my machines going on 9.04; work, personal laptop, and desktop. There were a few problems with the desktop but those were dealt with, over the course of several days....I had to go back to 8.10, download the alternate installer and upgrade that way. The graphical installer is very nice.
Still have the same old desktop:
Aside from the boot-speed thing I've noticed that moving panels around is a lot more clicking than it used to be. However that notification thing is nifty.
I wish 10.10 would have been a LTS release but it isn't...10.04 will be so I think I will get 10.04 and stick with that for a few releases....
Recently I've been trying to get my カタカナ to the same level as my ひらがな but it is sooooo boring.... orz....
So I've been trying to carefully work with my site today. One of the hard things is keeping project scope. This was mentioned somewhat in "The Pragmatic Programmer" Don't go adding all kinds of stuff that wasn't in the original idea mid way through the project.That just makes things more complicated and drawn out.
I also took to actively trying to apply Occam's Razor to my project. if it is too complicated then it isn't right. I've almost got the writer for the gallery done, I just need to build the case-switch tree that handles the index page; that'll decide which objects to instantiate. I like case switch trees more than if else trees. I also learned about implode today I imploded all kinds of things today just 'cuz. That is how I roll. I only managed to use it maybe twice though.
One problem with Geany is that when you are doing things you aren't supposed to be doing like working over FTP it has a bit of lag in the commands. I'm starting to like Geany more and more and dislike Rhythmbox more and more. I found that those little numbers in the brackets are the line number for the corresponding symbol
For some reason I think the construct was a bad idea. Donno why though, I guess we'll find out eventually.....
Coding is really pleasant. You get to make something, like Legos. it is even better when in a comfortable environment.
I think I'm going to cut back updating to the Friday of every week rather than everyday. Not like I got a whole lot to say anyway.
Feeling really down right now, need some chocolate and a hug. ( ó Ոò)
OOP doesn't really feel much different, doesn't really seem "better". It, at the moment just seems like more coding. however I've been able to pull it off
<?php include("pages/header.php"); include_once("pages/gallery_class.php"); $gallery = new Gallery(); $gallery-?>writeGallery(japan); include("pages/footer.php"); ?>
does this:
Took me about an hour to get that going. Need to work on my lines of code vs. time ratio.
I've come to the age old conclusion that you simply cannot have enough RAM
Only five more days until I get to go back to my old server.!
今日は仕事にI forgot my lunch and decided that since I haven't been to Burger King in about 5 years I'd go and have lunch there. When I got upstairs from the office I found out there was a very mild blizzard going on. I dawn my hood and go out. The wind, and the snow/sleet, was blowing from the left to the right, when I had went outside I immediatly turned to the right out of habbit. The snow was hitting my back. So I walk a few steps and decide "I'll go the other way instead!" so I turn around and my hood and face gets filled with snow.....('° -°).
Last years resolution was to not end the year alone..... Failed.....
Today was the day I normally do house work, cooking, cleaning, yadda-yadda. I spent a good while on that and managed to do laundry. Always fun.
My new week starts tomorrow. And I'm anxious about that...I'm going to try and make my living hours between 6am to 8~9pm, winde unwind from 8 to 9 closing the day at 9 for sure.
So I was doing some design today, I had one earlier but it was broken from the get-go. I was doing the whole CSS thing, like I do, when I realized that most of my names aren't meaningful. That'll present a problem if for some reason the project grows large. Now I just need to throw some code behind it. I'm going to do it in C# just to get the hang of C#. Then I'm going to redo it in PHP and use as much OOP as I can so I can get the hang of using OOP.
The design is pretty simple, no phantasmal, whirling, blinking, blue and green neon lights. Only about 6 images by default. Nice and clean. I think it looks nice, I modeled it after my desktop kinda.
The Site:
My Desktop:
'This is stuff like this that broke up the Bloods and the Crypts....'
I love indenting stuff I indent the books on my bookshelves..... A long while ago I found out my indention style is similar to the GNU style It is nice to feel like I belong somewhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#GNU_style
I've been using geany lately, look at those names! ( ° Д°).... The CSS
Any idea on what those brackets next to the names mean?
The HTML
The styles that look like the K&R or the Banner styles, the styles used by most everyone uses, makes me want to vomit blood. Gotta get use to it though... Most everyone uses it and Geany caters to it...Maybe I should use emacs?
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
