Flock- New Kid on the Block

Mood: Geek

I was linked to a site for a new web-browser called Flock. I've played with it for about thirty minutes now, so I can give a basic list of the features.

1. Blogging- This is a kinda nice little feature that lets you blog to your blog without having to go to your blog.


2. Extensions- This is a Firefox based browser. Actually...this is Firefox with a nicer default theme, and some extra features built-in.
   

Well...that's about it. Nothing too very new. If you 1) Use and like Firefox, and 2) Are a social person (i.e you have del.icio.us account(s), blog alot, etc.) you will enjoy this browser. If you aren't, then stick with normal Firefox.

Remember, have fun, and geek out!

Anaconda. No...it's Python, right?

Mood: Geek

More wacky shennanigans with Python. I'm amending my program which I have dubbed temporarily "Formulas." =/ The name sucks. Oh well.

Holy Crap! Too. Much. South. PARK!!!

Mood: Geek

Good lord. I have been up till one o'clock every day since Wednesday watching South Park. I'm going to over dose on this stuff. I'm serious. So much Cartman and Kenny and Stan and Kyle. It's just...too much. I'm gonna have to detox Monday. That's gonna be a bitch.

Brown Note

Mood: Geek

The Brown Note is an, as of yet, unproven note that when played, isntantly loosens the bowels of anyone within a certain distance. On a TC show called Brainiac on G4TV, they claim to have found this note, and will be playing it over the air. I'll publish this post, then amend it after they play it, to tell you if it actually works.

Edit: Well, that was disapointing. It didn't work.

Grammar: Use it!!!

Grammar: Use it!

Disclaimer: The following stories are sorta based on not-true stories. Names haven't been changed. Screw the innocent.

The scenario should be familiar. Your chatting in your favorite IRC channel, when all of a sudden, cooldudeman432 pops in. Quoth cooldudeman432, “Lolz roffle wat r u dooing? Im the l337 haxx0r! I hax ur comp! I put virus on ur comp!” Seem familiar? It does to me.

Some people may not know it, but an epidemic is spreading on the Internet It's called “grammaritis.” It's characterized by a peculiar lack of grammatical correctness, and lack of coherence. There is now only one known cure for this disease: a swift kick in the balls and a sound beating with a hardback copy of Don Quixote.

Seriously though. These people, who think they are “l337”, who think they are “haxx0rs”, are a pain. If the English language were Julius Caesar, these retards would be Brutus. The source of this problem is laziness. These people are too lazy too type out the whole word. This has to stop.

My real solution: Include an automatic spell-checker in IRC clients, web-browsers, and anything involved with typing and posting on the Internet This would fix almost everyone's problems. Of course, I still like the idea of beating these retards up.

More traffic? I can only hope.

Mood: Geek

Well, I commented on a blog by the author/character of my favorite web-comic and left the address to this blog, so I'm expecting an increase in traffic. Well, not really. Oh well. I just hope that someone will like my blog. At first, it was hard blogging, but I'm getting used to it. Hopefully I won't just die off like I expected to.

Coming Soon: Grammar: Use it!

FMA: Not too shabby

Mood: Geek

As I write this post, I am watching Full Metal Alchemist. My first impression of it was "Hmm...not bad. I like it." Considering that this is one of my first forays into anime-watching, that's pretty good. The plot so far is interesting. It's deep enough to keep my attention for the duration of an episode, but not so deep that I can't catch up in the middle of the series. Cause that's what happened. I started watching en medias res, as the Latin saying goes.

P.S.: that latin phrase means "in the middle"

*sniff* Parting is such sweet sorrow...

Mood: Geek

Well. That was...disappointing. I finished that program rather quickly. Oh well. Now, it's time to flesh it out.

Checking in; More Python silliness

Mood: Meh

I'm just checking in, so you people don't think I've died. I haven't done anything of major importance, recently. However, I am writing an essay for English. It's a character analysis essay about Edmond Dantes , from The Count of Monte Cristo. Of course, this isn't pleasure reading, but the reading was pleasureable. Try figuring that one out. ;)

Also, I've started working on another Python program, which basically rolls a d100, for two people, compares the result, and declares who ever has the higer number a winner. Once I get the framework set up, I may think about adding support for three, or perhaps four people. If I do get it to work, I'll try to figure out how to upload it, and let you guys play around with it.

I guess that's all, so I'll let you go. Don't forget...have fun, and geek out!

More Python craziness

Mood: Geek

Yes! I finsihed my Python program! It took a week or so of hard work, but considering that it's the first original, successful program I've written, it's worth it. All it does is perform some uome functions that you'd need for a science class (i.e. finding volume, density, temperature conversions). It's a really simple program, so it's nothing to brag about. I suppose that's all for now, so I'm gonna sign off.
