merry christmas.

i've been busy.

i had another christmas day on the 26th.

it felt really nice packing this up:





which of course i had to do because:


and a thank you very much for my mother, sister, and sister's boyfriend.

i also got money, and:

the halo 3 special legendary edition.

for only $20 more than just halo 3!

some have said i wasted my money, but i think it looks damn cool.

and totally worth $20







then i went to my sisters house for the night, and got to play halo on this:



there is a certain pleasure in being outranked by your student.

i just came back from belleville with my family dinner. merry christmas. i received clothes and money. and a nanimo bar.
my girlfriend got a nice new phone but so did her whole family, and her sister, which is her sisters first cell phone, so she can't know about the other ones for a while as to not "steal her thunder" ?

MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

post: 1

i'm sitting at my girlfriends house, having just woken up here.

so far i've received a lovely sci-fi decorative clock, and a hardcover, original british, illustrated edition of Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

thanks holly bear.

oh, and also a Love Is, peanuts calendar for 2009 (which was very needed) and a marylin monroe poster.
as well as a stocking full of love, and play dough.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

i imagine i will update later today, i'm heading to my grandmothers for christmas lunch/dinner soon.
and having christmas with my mother on saturday.

the fire channel hand.

i watched step brothers last night.
good job will ferrell(?)
it was far funnier than i had expected. and i expected it to be pretty darn funny.

i'm curious how to explain to someone that ms word is part of ms office, when saying ms word is part of ms office does not suffice.

it's christmas eve.

CHRISTMAS EVE!

i will be waking up christmas morning in my girlfriends bed.

nice.

a little girl here has seen the fire channel tape restart.
turns out it's not a live feed with guys taking shifts keeping a perfect fire.
despite some beliefs.

and all i needed was a router.

silly me, i was wondering why this router sucked so hard.
turns out it was only a ethernet hub!
silly me.

constant connection.
shared connection.
wireless.

nice.

it's nice.

today i got my christmas shopping done.
today i also got highspeed internet.

first i will say:
not what i expected.

turns out, for my particular aol service, i have to connect to the internet via a connection app everytime i wish to use it. which ordinarily would be no big deal at all. once when you boot your computer and your fine.

the issue arises in that i also can only use one 'screen name' at a time, which means that both me and my mother cannot use the internet simultaneously. blasphemy. i still intend to spend many more hours on the phone with aol trying to get something figured out.
but for now,

i have highspeed. <- :)

i knew deep inside of me how truly and uniquely wonderful access to the internet was. and today i get to feel that joy again.
one moment.
sorry, i had to go find a brand new song i have never heard before to put on as some background music.
ah.

anyway i could sit here and blather on about how much i missed those nights sat infront of a google search page with ambiguous techno in the background and anything i could ever possibly want to know, available at my fingertips. but i do infact have homework to do. and it's about time i head on over to see google.
how i've missed you.





i love that holly anne.
that one i stay up to on adium.
how i've missed her.
-> :)

politically corrent.

in what i can assume is an attempt not to offend anyone. the family channel seems to have decided that "santa" should instead be called "a north pole toy distributor"



MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
->EVERYONE<-

the fun of keyboard shortcuts

when your computer is lagging, and you can put in a bunch of commands and slowly watch them being activated.

if you thought computer hackers were cool...

how about LOGGING HACKERS?!
not like, logging in... like... logging companies.
hackers have helped several brazilian logging companies defy their government and ship far too much timber then they were allowed to. logging companies are only allowed to cut down so many trees every year, and this is all tracked through transport permits (so much timber per transport permit) and when they cut down so many trees, no more transport permits are allowed to be issued. well, they found a way around that. but they were of course caught, which is why it's news.
odd news.

Hackers Help Destroy Amazon Rainforest - Greenpeace.org.uk

i reached to say hello.

and for this first time in 4 years of computing, i spilled pop on my keyboard.

quit blogging and do your work.

the LHC
i know it's gone out of our minds for the moment, but keep in mind that it has been shut down for "adjustments" (repairs). if you remember, this was the thing that was [maybe] going to tear a whole in the universe and destroy the earth. now this had quite a lot of people all worked up about this, despite that fact that it's not going to happen.
thanks isitfunnytoday.com


this is an old comic. referencing an old yesterday.
[a yesterday gone by long ago.]

EDIT:
three blog posts in one english class proves why computers aren't mandatory in classrooms.

aol: round 2

i know i've said this so many times and it hasn't come true. (actually it did for a little while in the summer) i should be getting highspeed back here shortly. AOL highspeed. now, i know aol is... um... well.. it's aol. but apparently the highspeed is nothing short of good ole highspeed internet. good ole, NOT CAPPED highspeed internet.


w00t.

now all i need is a 360 and mac pro.
and i'm set.

yes you can change the climate, mr.obama

and here's how:

Yes you can changes the climate, Mr. Obama - NewScientist.com

they are called carbon taxes.
the current problem with carbon taxes is that, at the current state of the economy, people simply can't afford higher fossil fuel prices.

hey! good thing they covered (and solved) that!
read it.



poor people who blame being poor on the economy are funny.





while democracy is an excellent idea.
i just, don't think we're ready.

no i did not mean that... or did i?

I found myself no longer having finder open when it is not needed. the overall speed of my computer has increased. i rarely use the dock either but for the short time i do, i thought it would be nice to not have finder on the dock unless it was open.



lol, google. lol.



i was mostly unsuccessful, apparently the finder icon is for some reason hardcoded into the dock.app, so, the effort really isn't worth it at the moment.






dial up is hell.

addicition

of flash games.
this time around it's bloxorz.


in this fun flash game, you get to move a 1x2 block around a tile map with the attempt to get it into a hole at the end.
there are switches, and fun times.
i got to stage 22 before i closed my window.

weeeeeeee!

Dial Up is...

having to open textedit, so you can remember what you wanted to blog about while your 'establishing connection at 43333 bps'.

I think the internet is dying.

The lag heard 'round the world.

Type man_'object' for manual pages.

First off, don’t judge an operating system
before you learn how it operates.
Just because things don’t work the same,
doesn’t mean they don’t work as well.
And no matter what,
always try at least three distributions of linux.

Know that there is
more
to the internet, than Facebook, Youtube, and Porn.

Learn how to end a process.
It may save your files one day.

And remember to not fear using all of your RAM at once,
you have it all for a reason.

Computer applications have,
and always will be,
free.
A computer application is only data,
and data is information.

Never keep information to yourself;
the best way to improve is to collaborate.
Just because you can’t add the graphics to the level,
doesn’t mean no one can.

Use the internet with respect.
If we replace our amazing library of information
we have made available at our fingertips
with trivial banter and threads full of nonsense,
and CSS LEET OWNAGE PWNAGE HACKS LOL – AOL Video(1),
how do we grow?

Also, do not use your caps lock button.
Ever.

Learn what a command prompt is,
and know sudo is your friend.

Know now that one DVI cord
won’t fit in every DVI port.

Don’t get 8 Gigs of RAM
when you only need 2.

And don’t get USB if you need the speed of FireWire.

Remember,
NEVER
feel silly asking any level of question about anything.
There is no such thing as a stupid question,
only a stupid answer.

also, i can't take credit for what i said, it was a youtube comment by user 'greenday21'

incase you can't read it, i'm pretty sure it says:

"if it don't offend you 'emo' ladies, i don't know why the f- i'm here... gone."
i believe it's some sort of new-age poetry.

THANKS SPELLCHECK! :D

prove your god

The entire time that we knew the earth was flat, the earth did not lose one degree of it's spherical shape, this was a knowledge that man had, that we knew. And someone stood up, and said "You, Sir!" (sir, of course referring to the belief of most of 15th century civilization.) "...Are WRONG!"

Guess what happened.

Ode to Plurals

i didn't write this, i have no idea where it's originally from, or who wrote it (if anyone knows please email me at:

waldo.was.hiding
@
gmail.com

(the breaks are just an attempt to avoid spam)
but don't email me, unless you have a link to the original site, or actual proof of who wrote it. ;) thanks.

=======================

Ode to Plurals

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.

One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,

Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,

Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?

If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,

And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,

Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,

And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,

But though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his, and him,

But imagine the feminine: she, shis, and shim!

Let’s face it - English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;

neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren’t invented in England .

We take English for granted, but if we explore its

paradoxes,

we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are

square,

and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea, nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing,

grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham?

Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one

amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends

and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian

eat?

Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English

should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play

at a recital?

We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.

We have noses that run and feet that smell.

We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.

And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,

while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language

in which your house can burn up as it burns down,

in which you fill in a form by filling it out,

and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

And in closing,

if Father is Pop, how come Mother is not Mop?

with BOTH cats.

i don't have the internet again.
everyone else in the park does.
but not me.
i hate my computer.

i got battle for macragge.

but my guys aren't painted that good.
'cause i'm not that good at it yet.

Do you want to Control? Or do you want to COMMAND?!

today is my birthday. i have bunt cake. that my girlfriend made.
for me.

there's too much soup

so i just watched college roadtrip (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0997047/). If anyone has ever seen "That's so Raven!"... well then you know how horrible of an actor Raven Symone(?) is. (I could go search how to spell her name, but I'm not all that concerned at the moment.) I don't think she should be in any more movies.

Check out my new shield ;)


And also look:


These aren't mine, they are scott's, but I have them to read. :) And within the next couple of days, i will go and play a small game. :)


.finally

they are not cute! they are weapons of a WARRIOR!

talking to the owner of this here trailer park.
he's quite a 40k fan.
awesome.
(he is scott)

2:30am watching: live free or die hard.

and look at what i made!

i was also making it while watching knocked up, and a bit of transformers.
'bout 3 1/2 hours. ;)
they are carved out of insulation Styrofoam /which is capitalized, 'cause turns out it's a brand name/

exelerate your BREATH

when he says ow, and his smile stops, he's really saying "what the hell charlie? why ya gotta embarrass me man?" and the end.

dvorak.

start: 1:17am

That's the beauty of humanity.

demetri martin is the funniest man alive

oh shit. i should have thought of something to say.

some actually good news!

today, for the first time, in about 10 months. i have the internet back in my household. my household is currently a trailer in a trailer park. but i'm cool with that. and now i have the internet. and also, i got a scanner, for free. but i had to give away my router. the guy who was hooking up the internet, said "i need a router" and i said "well i have one."

that was a guess, but i used GOOGLE!

for p-t: (click the image to /enhance/)

i got firefox 3.0 and it sucks. it's VERY slow. it timed out trying to get to the image upload page while i was trying to upload that image. Safari FTW. (on a mac. windows safari still sucks ass.)

i'm in my com-tech exam right now. i'm done it. i made a snes ad. awesome.

omg PWNIES!

Right Click > Save Target As <- BOMBER BOY i was trying to download Bomberman 2 for the Turbo Graphix, and in my quest to find a working emulator and ROM i found this game, and wanted to download it, but i needed to go through a proxy as all my internet access comes from school. so the only way to do this was on here. so you guys can download it too for as long as this link works and i don't get sued. ;)

(requires flash player to play)

LoL, here is an actionscript tutorial, courtesy of newgrounds.com THANKS NEWGROUNDS!

everybody hear that?

i was using "iSquint" a freeware program for converting video to mp4 for iPods and what not. And i was trying to look at what file types it would use, and i clicked "Help"

if you click any of them it just says "help is not available in iSquint"

awesome iSquint team, awesome.

to be fair to the iSquint team, you can search and you get real help.

also!

There's Booty to be Had!

Look! I made this a little while ago, and decided to convert it and put it on the youtubes.

according to igoogle, today is a very "sciency day"

look! MONKEYS EATING MARSHMALLOWS WITH BRAIN POWERED ROBOTIC ARMS!
awesome.

epic.

^^ that is a link, click on it.

they are creating computers out of bacteria which can solve basic math problems. a computer that can do basic math, not very impressive. but a computer that is actually a living organism that can do basic math.

this my friends, is called bio-engineering at it's finest.

and also, it is truly awesome.

just to think, the things that will be available to the human race in the coming decades.

what a thought it is.

science, you have just brightened my day (which seems to be a frequent occurrence these days. [the phoenix mars lander FTW!])

i have stage makeup all over my face!

look at this picture my friend made. (click it and read the speech text)

my girlfriend says that my cat meow, doesn't sound like a cat.

to her i say "BOLLOCKS!"

woah! cut, paste. woah! copy, paste, delete.

the question is not 'how much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.' the question, is if i told you, would you believe me?

the kids these days

so, apparently, this is what the "cool kids" are listening to these days. i was unaware of this, and i have of recently been informed. this is freakin' crazy. it is just talking about taking people places, and sticking things in things, and yelling out their names. and lots of "mad beats". oh yes, and they give a very "gangsta?"(is the word i believe) examples. i thought it was just all around pretty bad music that i couldn't understand. is this seriously what the "kids are listening to"? 'cause this music is just all around stupid, and bad.

if you don't want to watch the video, or can't understand him, here is the beginning of the song:
which is also apparently the chorus..

"We can go to the tropics
Sip piña coladas
Shorty I could take you there
Or we can go to the slums
Where killas get hung
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya...)
I could take ya (I could take ya...)
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya...)
I could take ya (I could take ya...)
Shorty I could take you there"

um... "take you there - sean kingston" (there is a city named kingston about an hour from here)

look, a funny video about video games.

my friend just showed me this, and i thought "might as well try and use my blog efficiently" so, BLAM! something interesting!

my blog < your blog.

i just found out, that google, has a "blogs" setting when you're searching the news.
and i /used/ it! and it worked great.
i found exactly what i was looking for.
then it made me think about how ineffectively i was using my blog.
so i thought it was hilarious.
my blog < your blog.
and i'm cool with that.
i like my blog.

go away.

(for curious parties, i was looking up the phoenix mars lander which landed at about 8pm EST today. successfully.)

awesome.

i'm currently reading:

i'm currently thinking:
Capitalism is a stupid idea, and the human race is not ready for democracy.

i'm currently doing:
your mom! HA!

i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts! there they are all STANDING IN A ROW!

ain't is defined as slang for "is not" or "am not"
therefore, saying "ain't no" is a double negative and means "is" or "am"

from here we can only conclude, that qwen stephani, is in fact, a holla back girl.

do you know what a sonic boom is?

macleans magazine really just pissed me off.
so i started to look through them.
and i couldn't find one that had the cover story in it's table of contents.
i couldn't find anywhere where it told you what page the cover story was on.
in anger, i through the magazines in the garbage.
they don't get to be recycled.
they don't deserve it.

100th Post

This is my 100th post, more than 2 months after my 99th post, my 100th post, is being posted right now. Once I get the internet back, I might try and make my blog better, or maybe start a new one, but until then; here is my 100th post.
