Update August 28, 2011

It's been a very long time since a blog post, and I apologize to my stalkers and loyal readers.  Well, I've been playing MineCraft (I've been made a moderator on the MinecartRapidTransit server, woohoo!), I've been doing farmwork, I've been learning Java, I've been doing web dev, and I've been working as a "Special Projects Manager".  Yea, I've been pretty darn busy...

Well, I have two blog posts planned for when I have the time.  First, I am making a note of every time I become frustrated or annoyed by silly mistakes.  It will be slightly humorous, I think.  Second, I will be going over how 95% of resumes get rejected.  Maybe, after those two, I may go off on a rant of needing to educate the general population better.  I don't hold their ignorance of their field of work against them; it is the fault of an education system that could be improved.  Maybe more on that later.

Well, I'm busy until next week, so I hope to see all of you again soon!

Update 7/24/2012

It's been a while. Between job hunting and playing Minecraft, I haven't been doing much else.  Later today, more job hunting.  Then, working on an app with a friend.

Ant Farm: Currently in Design Phase

I have always found ants fascinating.  Some of them farm, some of them domesticate other insects, and all of them have such simple minds that work together to create a colony with an intelligence of its own.

Difficulty in 3d Programming

I remember about eight years ago trying to wrap my mind around 3d graphics.  It took me months to finally make a wireframe model of a rotating fan.  I remember a few years later finally understanding enough to make a 3d castle with very poor graphics, and that took me an entire semester.  It is amazing how things that seem trivial now were so very difficult before I had as much knowledge on the topic.

Haunting Sounds of a Fight

I have always hated fighting because it is just so pointless in most situations.  If somebody insults me, I ignore them.  If somebody is trying to make me mad, I leave.  If somebody purposely spills their drink on me at a party, I leave.  In almost all cases, such people are not worth the risk of getting hurt, causing a scene, or wasting energy.

I don't know, so I'll just ramble!

Well here I was thinking this was all going so well, but my blog views are only 314 and my website views are only a little over 500.  Well, I'm out of ideas.  Maybe it will take a while for them to catch on.  Maybe I need something cooler like a comic.  Everybody loves comics!  No, that's not going to happen.

What can I do, oh what can I do?  What can I do get get more views?  In all honesty, I'm not really caring so much now as I once did.  I used one of the tools on my website the other day.  I suppose it being of use to me is good enough.

What is the point since I do not consider page views a big deal?  The point is that I am making a blog post.  It has been a while, and I would hate for any future loyal readers to think that I skipped out on them even before I knew them!

I'm working on some linear algebra C++ stuff for a friend.  Actually, I already have it mostly done with matrices, inverses, transposes, determinants, adjuncts, and a few other words I don't know the meaning of.  Until that's completely done and tested, it's job hunting and programming for me!

Job hunting.  I seriously have no idea why it is so hard to find a decent job.  Sure, I'm sure that McAcme would hire me, but their workers are so depressed I feel like just dying after I order my food.  Maybe AcmeMart?  Heh.  Hahahaha!  Funny.  Tried that, and no.  Corporations, why are they so depressing?  Okay, maybe I'm taking just two examples and judging the whole lot from them, but I do not want to work for a large corporation unless it's Google or some company like that.

Hmm...  what else?  I really really hate cluttering my blog with nonsensical unimportant topics, but there simply is nothing else to write about.

Web-Based Tools I Just Finished

After much effort, many headaches (I am starting to hate PHP), and quite a bit of debugging, they are finally here!  I present to all of you some tools for beautifying code, adding syntax highlighting, computing the HTML needed for showing code, and getting the length of a string.
