Ben has started his own blog. I tried to put his link up yesterday, but it wouldn't show. After looking at my code, I forgot a "'s. This is why I don't like to code, and just fix computers. But my laptop is going belly up also, I think....For a few weeks now the power level and the volume icons have disappeared from the taskbar. Then yesterday, I hopped on it to get songs for Becky, using UW Dial-up, and I connected fine, but the icon that says 'you are connected at ______bps" wasn't on my taskbar. And when I clicked on the icon in Network Connections it asked me to log on, even though I was on...talking to my cusin during this. It is just annoying me that it is doing all of this.

Pissed

I had a post going but I just lost it. Summer quarter is over, so I get to go home!

Well, it's the last week of a horrendous summer quarter. Starting tomorrow I get to start/finish getting ready for both my finals on Friday and pack up to go back home. So, I won't be online that much. I'll probably get on Friday or Saturday. When I am at home, I won't blog that much if at all, because at my house in Bonney Lake I have a very crappy connection. So,who knows how long it would take, I'd also lose more than I'd get out. So, it isn't the fusteration. I may work on my site but won't put anything new up until I get back here. Maybe I'll even add pictures of the '95 Nissian Becky got for her birthday.

That's all for now!

Not Happy

I am sick of people showing favorites. This guy in my Math 126 class is, just yea. (I don't know what to say without being to too harsh.) But the word that I really want to say is dipshit, but you didn't hear that from me. The first day he seemed like a cool guy, but by the end of the first week that he wasn't. I sit in the front row because it's easy for me to park there but also let alone I am also half blind kind of plays a small key. I don't know if it is just me, but I think that there is something going on between him and the teacher (she's only 25). Almost everyday she has a bag of chips and only offers him one nobody else. Today, he came in all pouty and nearly in tears, and when the prof came in, in front of the whole class, says "I got you e-mail [Name], I am soo sorry." Then he went on for a few minutes on how he is getting a cold and stuff. Meanwhile on Friday, the prof e-mailed me about how the class was going, and stuff. I replied back to her right after and then also sent another part this morning around 8 AM. Hmmm isn't that weird how she didn't even look at me during class. In class today we also had to do the Teacher Evals and when [Name] was done he announced that he was "filling up his water bottle", but somebody saw him just sitting outside talking with the teacher. Well, going to fold the rest of my laundry.

Today was hotter than hell, or thats what I thought. I went to OUGL for a few hours, got a little done. Then met up with one of the guys that I was assigned with for the last CS project...We sat there kinda getting no where and then my other partner e-mailed us the code completed...
I am going to start studying for finals...yay. I don't know which I am looking more foward to; getting out of my Steven's Court appartment or going home. Most of the guys from my High School are already about to start school...at WSU. A month of just sleeping and eating will be great. I know that the weather better be like this or I'll be pissed. My great-grandma lives on Lake Tapps (about 2 blocks away), so I am going to be driving over a few times. But the thought of me getting in and swimming again is quite amusing...Lets see here...my freshman to my senior year of High School I swam a little over a half mile once or twice a week, then my first year here ...nothing! WOOHOO!
I am going to fold laundry, jump in the shower, and then bed. Any takers?? FOR THE FOLDING LAUNDRY PART ONLY!

Where did the sun go?

Today went by pretty fast. I got up, got dressed, drove over to Terry Café for lunch and then went to OUGL for a few hours and yea....Came back to my room and few minutes later headed back to Terry for dinner. I ate with Andrew, he is in Lander 8th floor for Summer. Poor guy, the room is so small I can't even go in the door, LITERALLY. I think most of the people didn't think to hard while designing. Hell, look at me! I am on the top floor of a building, and I thought being one floor up at McCarty was bad. But hey what do we know, we are just little peons. When I came back from dinner, around 6:15 it was bright and sunny, now it's gone!
I upgraded to XP Pro on Friday, I didn't pay a dime, borrow a disk, or "sample it from KaZaA". It is a 100% legal copy too, muwhahahaha. I haven't seen any real changes yet, but I have a list from a buddy that states like 30 differences between Home and Professional. So, I am going to check them out. I am still waiting for NateDogg (& Mindy?) to say if he is using my room or not. He blames Mindy for not knowing yet, aaaw poor Mindy. :'( LOL My mom also sent me this e-mail, thought it was good: YEAR OF 1903: The year is 1903, one hundred years ago ... what a difference a century makes. Here are the US statistics for 1903.... The average life expectancy in the US was forty-seven (47). Only 14 Percent of the homes in the US had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars. There were only 8,000 cars in the US and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union. The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000. More than 95 percent of all births in the US took place at home. Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee cost fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason. The five leading causes of death in the US were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was 30. Canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented. There were no Mother's Day or Father's Day. One in ten US adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and the bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." Eighteen percent of households in the US had at least one full-time servant or domestic. There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire US. Just think what it will be like in another 100 years from now. It boggles the mind..........

The life and times

Today while glancing through the paper, I found a few good stories. Some are just so sad....
Ex-UW President is mugged (read where)
This is sad for us guys. LOL
Aside from that high quality reading I am a little disappointed about the campus lately. I haven't seen any stupid people. Since a few weeks before Spring quarter ended, I saw a few a week, literally. Yes, yes I know it is the end of Summer quarter and there isn't too many people around here in general. But I am keeping my eyes pealed!

NateDawg- I looked at Jeremy's code, and opened up an account at squakbox...I haven't gotten to customize it too much....

Hey, I think I have the comments now working. Maybe?

I am just doing a test to see how this thing looks. I'll get more up later maybe...

Somehow this week I managed to get to bed everyday around 2 AM, but hopefully I can make it to bed by midnight. Today, DO-IT ended.(Ask me about DO-IT later, if you want.) Anyways, one of the people who is around my age, who also helped out by being a counselor is from Florida. He has a plane trip home, that he gets picked up at 5:30 AM tomorrow. Usually, the dorm that DO-IT uses for the camp kicked DO-IT out this evening, lets them stay until mid-day Saturday. So, one of the staff members asked me if I was willing to help. Of course I did, and he is currently is sleeping. A little after he was dropped off we met up with a few people that we know from the program. We got some pizza on the AVE and then saw American Wedding at the Metro. It was okay I suppose, there were a few scenes I nearly gagged, but it's all good now. I believe that there is now like two weeks of Summer Quarter '03 left. Oh, I also talked with a CS counselor this afternoon. Well, that's all for now.

This summer has been flying by so fast, is that good or bad? Today I got to go to my high quality wheelchair company this afternoon. I went back in November, and got new batteries, an armrest, and a joystick. When I was there then, I also said 'hey, look at the battery charger', the lovely guy was like 'oh, no it's fine, your batteries were bad'. I knew that was a lie, but didn't want to get in a fight with those idiotic people. So, from then on I was plugging it in for around 10 hours, oh by the way it's an 8 hour charger, but remember that it was perfect. Then once, I believe, they asked if I was plugging it in properly. It's not to trivial, take the normal plug-in push it into a wall socket, and the other end into the chair. OH, don't forget the all complicated task of moving the switch from OFF to ON. hmmm hard? Many areas to screw up? Yea, ok,sure.
  So, what made me call in last Thursday was on Wednesday night I plugged my chair in around 9:30 PM and didn't touch it until 10:15 AM Thursday night. That's almost 13 hours and it was only half way full. Today, I am like 'look, my charger is messed up, it's supposed to be an 8 hour charge, I plug it in almost nightly for 10 hours, and it's half dead by 5 PM.' FYI-I am supposed to go roughly 15 miles per charge. Their first question, was about my batteries, and of course didn't believe me and had to do this stuff to "verify". In the end they said my charger wasn't functioning properly, WHOA NO WAY. How weird, I was right? hmm. So, I ended up getting a new charger and new rear wheels,purty.
