That stinks. I love fireworks, but then, I'm a bit of a pyro. :twisted:

Lol, I can sympathize :twisted: 'tis a perfectly valid reason to love fireworks, I'd say.

So you work and go to school? Thats awsome. I have enough trouble just going to school full time. Mostly because I'm a programming student, which means "free time" counts as "homework time", since, even if I'm not programming at the momment, I still have to think about what I will do when I get to it.

Ooh, programming student xD I'm majoring in Computer Science, myself. And my job is just a small on-campus one. I TA for one of the Intro to Computer Science labs, and then I'm a regular assistant in the lab two nights a week, 6-10pm. Not a lot of people come by in the evenings for help, though, in general, so I have at least some time in there to work on homework.

Sounds like a pretty easy job. The assistants at our lab usually have gone through at least 2 classes of C++, just to be able to answer questions. What exactly is "Computer Science"? That's a pretty broad term.

Our required classes are a combination of practical coding ones and the more theoretical stuff. And then from there we can take electives in whatever areas interest us. Like right now I'm in a Computer Graphics class, which is pretty cool, and Analysis of Algorithms, which is... interesting, but not exciting, if you know what I mean.

Our school just changed over from C++ to Java for all the core required classes, but I took Java in high school, so I've learned both decently well. We also had to do some shell script programming and some programming in Assembly, too, for one class.

Eww...Java. The language is absolutely horrible. You type about 3 times as much for the same results. While I admit that it's useful enough for online games, it's not going to be used on the really good stuff.

Heh, 'tis what I use when I'm feeling lazy XD I don't mind it a whole lot, but I'm definitely glad my Graphics class is in C++.

... And I'm even more glad that I don't have to do Assembly anymore. Really interesting for showing how the architecture works, but it must have been crazy to actually have to /do/ anything like that in the old days.

My Visual Basic teacher kept joking about making us program on punch cards. :lol:

Oh, found this recently, you might like it. Enter this code through your address bar. :wink:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI= document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5 ); void(0)

Woah, coolness *O*

Lol, my Architecture teacher's office is kind of like one of those walls of fossils you see in museums, layered down from most to least recent, except with computers. He likes to bring in old graphics cards and old punch cards and things and show them to us in class and stuff.

Fun watching the images dance around the screen, huh?

I always told him that I'd be happy to code on the cards, but he couldn't mark down my work until he conviced the school to buy a card reader so he could check my work. :twisted: He kept saying that he thought the school actually still had one. The lab manager said they do "somewhere". I'm scared of my school for keeping that thing.

Lol, I'm at a small school with awesome teachers who are also kind of weird at times. I would not be at all surprised if I found out that one of them still had a card reader. It'd be my Architecture teacher, and I can totally see him being unaware that he even had it until he cleaned out his office one day.

We've got the sort of professors who petition the school president to install fiber-cable on campus, "to keep our connection regular", lol.

Lol, nice. It'd be one thing if a teacher had it, but it's the school that owns the thing. I can't imagine why they keep it (though the lab tech was guessing it's being used as a server, with how the server acts up).

Lol XD

Last year, a friend of mine was working for the tech people (( basically erasing people's computers when they got viruses )), and they found some old SUN computers to get rid of. Ended up giving them to him. Six of them is about a good height for a nightstand. He eventually set them up as personal servers, though. That was kind of awesome, if quite slow.

That's cool. So are you planning on doing more in the graphics side of stuff?

Not totally sure yet. As far as right after I graduate, I plan to go to Asia for a little while and teach English. I've also been told I might be able to get a job over in China teaching computer science in English. Haven't completely ruled out the possibility of doing more programming and development-type work later on, but for now, I want to travel while I can.

How about you? What're you thinking of doing?

I'm starting a game company with a friend. We haven't gotten very far (he is currently learning how to use graphics in C++), but we'll get there. I'm probably going to be more of game design than programming, but it really helps to know what can and can't be done when you're designing stuff. Also helps to understand the programmer when they tell you stuff.

Sounds awesome.

Ah, sorry, I should get to bed now. 'twas nice chatting with you! Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween. Goodnight.

Awfully quiet in here. -pokes thread-

Since I got the items I was questing for, I was planning on putting the art you drew me Nekuyo in my signature, but naturally Photobucket hates me and they're doing maintence right now. -_-;; But as soon as it comes back up I'll put it in my signature.

Hi! ^.^

Hi. Anyone here?

I guess not. I'll check back in a while, but if nobody shows up, I'll head to bed in a while.

*pokes her thread*

I feel so bad, I've not even started on either of the last two drawings.
