Class of 2011, Carroll University Bachelors of Science, cum laude Computer Science (Software Engineering), Mathematics
Biggest Time Wasters
Guitar Hero, DDR, anime, IRC, IMs, coding for the site
Family
Just me, mom, dad, and the dog. No siblings.
Sleep Style
My day starts at 6:30am and usually ends around 10pm.
Language Skills
English, Latin, Java, PHP, and basic C++
Works of Literature
I enjoy the Harry Potter series (read 'em each once), the Imponderables series (question-answer format, very interesting), and I follow the story/antics of MegaTokyo as well. And, of course, the 5-part Hitchhiker's Trilogy is the best series ever. ;P
TV Shows
I'm a SciFi fan; Stargate SG-1 (especially before RDA left), Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Who, Heroes, Eureka, Lost; good stuff. I don't care for "reality TV" much.
Anime
I'm obsessed. The Kin of the Stars series was my first, and I love it. Besides that, I really liked Last Exile, Eureka Seven, Read or Die, Azumanga Daioh, FLCL, and of course The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Hidden Talents
I can play the piano fairly well, I'm teaching myself to play the guitar, and I can solve a Rubik's Cube in two to four minutes. I'm also an amateur magician, and know a few simple tricks, some of which can be quite profitable.
So, since it's a pretty big deal (at least to me), and since it's having a noticeable impact on my work here on the site, I suppose this is at least worth talking about in some detail. First thing's first, I graduated with my BS in CompSci and Math back at the start of May. Now, at the start of July, I've started working full time. That whole "started"...
So incredibly tired. But it was so much fun. I think for 2011, I may take it upon myself to compile a gallery of Pokemon cosplays and post them here on the site...
For those of you who didn't know, I figured I should point the following things out: - Tales of Vesperia is awesome. - Vector Calculus is not. - 3.5 hour long night classes suck. - But not as much as the prospect of having an 8am class. - Thanksgiving break can never get here soon enough. - But that test you forgot to study for will be happy to kill...
I lieu of a serious, thought-provoking blog, I now offer you this sage bit of wisdom I've picked up in my time here at college, which I was reminded of again today. Approximately every seven to ten days, any given male living on campus will have to make a very important decision; do laundry today, or go commando tomorrow. To any guys looking at heading...
Everyone's blog posts lately seem to be rather aimed to make you think, full of imagery and the like. So I'll join in with this: Have you ever been talking to a friend when suddenly they get that look in their eye? As though, just for an instant, they fully understood just how easily they make you smile, even though you can't ever find the words to...
So, a blog about Anime Central 2008, my big summer trip. Where do I start? PRE-CONVENTION Let's start with me. I went as Phoenix Wright, from the game series of the same name. I did not go to the photoshoot, because it was on Friday and I didn't wear the costume until Saturday. In order to make the costume, I had to leave a day early and head down...
Yeah, I know, I don't do this often. What can I say, I've been busy? Not just the site either. This stupid "real world" keeps getting in my way. Hard to believe I've got 5 weeks left of my Freshman year... guess I better start working on those final projects, huh? It's been an interesting year so far. I've learned to live with jocks. I've survived...
Why have I directed you here for today's site update? Because, this is where it's at. I've successfully enabled the comments features for the Psyblogs. It's just getting started at the moment, mind you. The system will improve with time. In order to leave a comment, you need to log in with your forum name and password. Don't worry, you don't have to...
As you probably saw on the main page, my laptop has died. The hard drive has completely failed me, probably due to physical internal damage. CHKDSK locks up, and FIXMBR is unable to write a new Master Boot Record to the partition. There is a slim chance I might be able to recover some data off the drive if I can get it hooked up. Luckily, my new laptop...
