Pictured below are photos taken during TWO jumps. They do look like they’re from the same jump, except for the colour of the sky.

Day 20: Sufficiently Advanced Pornography is Indistinguishable from Art.

Yesterday, I spent a good few hours on deviantArt, browsing the People and Portraits section.

Today, I’m going to do something which i terribly dislike, and make you click a link to read my post. I’m doing this mainly because I’m posting about something that not everyone wants to see. You can read the title of the article to figure out what I mean.

Day 19: Multitasking.

First Off, I have to say, my browser skin is epic.

Second off, the article shown in the screenshot is perfectly right, except for the part about multitasking. I multitask extensively. I’ve always got multiple tabs open in firefox, and many many windows else open. I’ve got music playing, a game playing, firefox open with 7 tabs, chrome open with 3 tabs, 3 msn windows, notepad, photo viewer, and two explorer windows open now.

I need to get a quad core processor… >_> My pentium 4 works, but just isn’t good enough for me to multitask the way I want to. I need at least twice as many windows open as I’ve got to feel satisfied.

well, now that this computer is essentially worthless with a gpu that can't be pushed I might as well install linux ( '-')

Day 18: Interview!

Today, I had to interview one of the members of the Civil Engineering staff. I WAS supposed to do it with a group of 2 other people, but one of them had a class during every one of our faculties office hours, and the other one just forgot.

We didn’t have to go to our CIV 101 class today because of the interviews this week. So I’ve got just speech today.

Speech is a very weird class.

The major thing I got out of speech today was that professionals have to stereotype to speak.

Anyways, somehow i missed the steel bridge competition meeting today… I can’t believe i missed it, as I really wanted to be a part of that program. I’m really spacing club activities for some reason.

Day17: Wednesday, the new MONDAY.

I have no problem with Monday, it’s actually a relief to have a schedule after a boring weekend. But Wednesday… Now there’s a terrible day. I’ve got my chemistry lab at 6 o’ clock in the evening.

Today, my lab class was overshadowed with DISCRIMINATION!

People have no friendliness for those using linux. They have no idea of how the programs are different. I got marked down because my computer didn’t have MICROSOFT FLIPPIN OFFICE, and used open office instead.

 

Open office math has no options for setting the x-axis of a graph to scale, and just evenly spaces the given data. Its kind of annoying, but on my laptop, I have ubuntu. Silly silly ubuntu.

Um, do it.

Day 16: Squirrels and Alligators

In my speech class today, we had to make poems. Crappy poems, but poems none the less. We had to choose a word, and then its opposite. Then we had to list 20 words for each word that those words made us think about. I chose fire before I knew the teacher was going to make us pick the opposite. So I ended up with fire and ice.

Then, we had to make a poem using 30ish, I don’t remember the exact number of the 42 words, and nothing but those 30 words.

Bahamut, Leviathan, Kittens!
Blue Baloons Tantrum,
Dwarves Would Catsplosion,
Carp, Dragons, Red Water
Bomb Books, Explosion
Planes Ice Atlantis
3rings Crashes
Fire Liberty
Fire Freedom
Yellow Life Raft
Red Rivers
Ice Statues
Ice Nukes

Day 15: Dvorak

Today, I blog while typing in dvorak.

I dunno why I tried this, but it is quite an interesting experience.
I set my keyboard layout to dvorak when installing ubuntu.
Also, after typing 8 lines, I'm getting somewhat proficient. I already
recognize where most keys are, but the less common ones are a terrible
pain. I've got my background set as a dvorak keyboard, and not looking
at it is hard.

My chem teacher got the swine flu today. Yay.

I've got less than half an hour to perfect typing like this before
class. I'm graduating from the keyboard on the desktop now. Its
surprisingly easy to learn something when you put your mind to it.

I should be leaving now...

THIS IS WEEKEND

^_^

Under my own rules, I’m not obligated to post today.

But i shall!

Also, notice no Day: in today's post.

Day 14: Competition, What competition?

As I said before, my speech class for yesterday was canceled. It turns out that my writing class today was also canceled, I wrote it down, but forgot to remember.

Printing here at OIT is a nightmare. If you’re at a normal fixed computer, you have to use the browser to access the printer list, and then find the printer closest to you, download the driver, and only then can you print.

In the library, they use a secure printing method, so you can print without having to go through the above method, but you have to go to the printer, and input a password directly to the printer to get it to push out your paper.

I miss having my own printer, but the last one I had corrupted it’s inks too quickly. I also miss the built in scanner. I want to get one of those small scanners that move the paper rather than the scanbar. Also, it would be epic to have a laptop with a built in printer. You wouldn’t need anything bulky for a black and white printer that only does a single piece of paper at a time.

 

Chemistry is too easy. Metrics are too easy. They also are so easy, I remember their conversions, but don’t remember that I remember. I kept fretting during my quiz that I had them wrong, but afterwards checked a conversion chart, and had put them down pefectly. u(mu) is x10^-6, n is x10^-9 and p is x10^-12.

Wallpaper Corner!

Today, I bring offering of some random  wallpapers I have on my laptops hard drive. I did not make these, so I cannot take credit.

Day 13: Brilliant Luck

If you’ve been reading my twitter, which is shown at the bottom of the sidebar, you’ll see that I managed to get only one class today.

My Speech teacher told us last class that she was going to be gone, and gave us a few youtube videos to watch while we didn’t have class.

Also, I got a bowl of ice-cream for dessert for only 25 cents. ^_^ Cahiers' mistake. Not going to argue.
