I figured since I updated my other blog, I’ll update this one as well.

Ever so often I re-do the OK Cupid Quiz to see if the results have changed

Boy Next Door: Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLD)

It seems to still be the standard

Your result for The Your SESAME STREET Persona Test...

Oscar the Grouch

You scored 29% Organization, 33% abstract, and 19% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables.

First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.

Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.

Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself.

You are more sloppy, more concrete, and more introverted.

Here is why are you Oscar the Grouch.

You are both sloppy. You might not always know where everything you need is. Perhaps you don't even care. You don't live in a trash can though.

You both can be concrete thinkers. Oscar knows what he wants (to be unhappy) and he consistently works toward that goal. You may have dreams, but you don't let them control your decisions.

You are both quite introverted. For whatever reason you are uncomfortable in social settings. You probably have one or two people that you are close with. You'd rather do things by yourself and you dislike working in groups. Oscar hates it when people bug him.

The other possible characters are
Cookie Monster
Big Bird
Snuffleupagus
Ernie
Elmo
Kermit the Frog
Grover
The Count
Guy Smiley
Bert

So it seems that Westwood online is being sued for fraud…

I am beginning to wonder if god hates me.

They purposely mislead students about many things… some of which upon reading the lawsuit I am being screwed over with as well.

  • Poor quality of teachers – can vouch for that
  • Essentially force you to use Sallie Mae loans, whom are being sued in a different case for discrimination
  • Flat out lies about how well their credits transfer to other colleges, very few will accept them
  • Deliberately mislead people about how they will try very hard to help you find a job. I have received no assistance of any kind, neither have most people.
  • Degrees from them are essentially worthless.

So yeah…. I am not enrolling for next term there…


Alternate Blog

Hey everyone, I was originally going to use my LJ for this but decided it would probably be better to keep the topics separate.

I set up a new blog purely for programming and game discussions. I will probably post about school there as well.

Said blog is Twibbit Coding It is done on Blogger rather than live journal simply because it is much more professional looking.

I will still use LJ and facebook for all the other things in my life. Family, stuff like that.

 

I doubt any of you will be avid readers, but that said I do intend to upload game samples as I code them up there so that maybe will interest you.

Already have one uploaded too, http://twibbit.blogspot.com/2009/12/finals-project.html 

Its not exactly great but it is functional.

This is based on the game Faerytaleonline. A text RPG where you have to actually get born. This is all handled by players, you are given a queue to wait your turn to be assigned to a possible parent. I was bored and thus set up an Excel spreadsheet and started putting together information.

 

(All data as it was calculated 9/21/2009)

  Pregnant Mothers My Position in Birth Queue Difference Total Births Birth Rate
8/31/2009 4 219 0 0  
9/15/2009 3 155 64 64 4.2666667
9/17/2009 5 146 9 73 4.5
9/18/2009 2 140 6 79 6
9/19/2009 2 137 3 82 3
9/20/2009 4 133 4 86 4
9/21/2009 4 118 15 101 15

All this information is useless without some predictive data,

Average Birthrate 6.127777778 4.49724771
Projected Time till Birth 19 26
Projected Birthday 10/10/2009 10/17/2009

The reason for the two sets of results is that I used two possible methods. One based on the average birthrate, and another based on the Slope() function. Which one will be right? probably neither since every time I update the information things change.

But as I said, I was bored.


Really?

This money problem is getting desperate… to the point we are talking about a certain option again… Military.

And know what… I am out of options and Military does look good on a resume. current ideas are Coast guard and Navy. I happen to be a VERY good swimmer, and coast guard is conveniently close.

I realize that some of you, or rather the only one who reads this thing… have some strong opinions on the subject, but I am out of ideas.

And hey if I managed to not shoot myself staying with dad for 10 months… I should be fine.

A while back I entered the Eye Of Judgment Tournament on the PS3. Its that card game done with the PS3 Eye

Anyways… it has an odd set up, You are not in a tree, you do as many matches in the time frame as you want, how well you do in them accumulate and that is how you win.

I lost all four rounds I played.

buuut… to get a prize, you must respond to a confirmation email… enough of them didn’t… so I ended up being sent a victory letter by default. I responded, and low and behold I got this in the mail

I won by regularly checking my email.

Got a call from my father today, apparently one of my former co-workers died today. They were coyote hunting and the moron ran with his gun, tripped and the gun went off as he fell towards it. They went from -location A for your purposes- to Glendive in 19 minutes (that is usually an hour trip) sadly not fast enough, he died on the way.
and it is sad that I can not remember his name for this post even. can remember his stepmom's name but then again she was my boss. He was just one of many coworkers... good kid though.
Morale of the story, listen to your hunter's safety instructors. Only need to mess up once

Well I remembered why I do not attend parties, bored, bored, surrounded by cigarette smoke giving me a headache, always somehow in someone's way. I left after half an hour, I can stand around with no one to talk to at home, and have it more peaceful.
