Day 33: I’m in your lair, graphic designing.

In one of the forums I visit, i use the name Alkaline Earth Man. The symbol below is borrowed from the element Mg, an alkaline earth metal, in this site. The first one was from when i was trying to build spin off of my original avatar, which can be seen in this sites icon, and in any of my comments on the page.

Day 32: Damnatio Memoriae

P1000808

Damnatio memoriae is the Latin phrase literally meaning "damnation of memory" in the sense of removal from remembrance. It was a form of dishonor that could be passed by the Roman Senate upon traitors or others who brought discredit to the Roman State.

Yay for wikipedia.

Anyways, life is pretty boring right now.

"He did not exist; he never existed"

I need to read Dune again… It was a brilliant book. I probably should read the books i have, too, but i don’t ever seem to have time to.

Now, time to go back to homework.

I’m doing a speech on The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Dorman’s Interlude:

Alex: I could potentially make an epic sandwich right now
zMOGus: make a sandvich
Alex: ^__________^
Alex: 3 kinds of cheese, 3 kinds of meat

 

Day 31: You been kissing the piggy?

I seriously doubt I can take Swine Flu, or rather, H1N1 seriously. It’s just a mildly more contagious flu. One of the kids in my calculus class keeps referring to the flu with what i’ve placed in the title of this post.

I had a calculus test today. It was mildly easier than I had expected, but still was tough.

Day 30: Team Fortress 2

•November 2, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Had an Achievement run with Dorman today in TF2. Even due to the fact that I was the only one “dominating” he ended up always with more kills.

And then we went into a normal game. I unintentionally started to pick him off. Though I had about half the amount of kills by the time i left, almost half of my 30 kills were him. I ran around as a scout for most of the game, taking pot shots at people, and using the close range abilities of the scout shotgun to get a few kills. After that, I went spy. Spies are fun, in that pretty much a direct hit from any class will kill you. Dorman was a sniper or heavy for most of the game, and i would sneak up, most of the time disguised under his name, and kill him. It was brilliant. No-one thinks to double check a sniper running up to the sniper spot. I’d clear out the sniper roost for a minute, leave for a while, and then come back to a full nest of juicy backs to stab.

Also, the new American McGee’s Alice game looks epic.

Dorman’s Interlude:

Mr. Dorman: I’m starting one from within the game. see if it shows up under the friends tab
Mr. Dorman: password is poop

The small netbook here is mine. The large one is Semper Verus’ gaming laptop. I’m running XP, and he’s running Ubuntu with a heavily modified skin.P1000805

Next month, in November, I’m going to be participating in National Blog Posting Month, where I have to post every day for the month. It’ll be slightly annoying, but I think I can do it.

Semper Verus; Semper Nefas:

"I don’t windows very often, but when I do, I windows 7."
I linux ubuntu. I linux ubuntu because it’s actually very user friendly, the community is incredibly helpful and friendly even when you don’t actually talk to them (for instance, my case). They’ll tell you what you need to know generally, and almost always you get a response. Ubuntu itself is sleek and clean, has 25,000+ free pieces of software built into a program that will get them off the internet and install them for you (a la "Add/Remove" or my favorite "Synaptic Package Manager"). It’s clean, safe (all operating systems can get viruses, but it is FAR less likely on ubuntu or linux in general), and productive when you need it to be.

Semper Verus is one of my old friends, now reawakened from a long chronic Mike Jones Syndrome. Anyways, Mr. Dorman is no doubt passed out at a Halloween party right now. His quoteing may have to wait for a while.

Day 29: Netbook

•October 30, 2009 • Leave a Comment

I love my new netbook!

So fun, so tiny, so cute. This is a brilliant computer. I can type ALMOST like normal on it, but it takes a slightly different hand position than I’m used to.
The touchpad is incredibly annoying, so much so that I’m going to have to get a wireless mouse to bring with it.
I’ve got most of the bloatware uninstalled already, which is nice.

I had my dad charge it last night, so I’d be able to use it for the car ride home, they wouldn’t bring the car that I’m on the insurance on, because my sister has it… >_>

It came with Google desktop installed. Google desktop is fun, but in a netbook, it probably isn’t a good idea. Bloatware is bloatware. I don’t want to tax my 1 gig of ram too much.

I’m uninstalling the 60 day free trial of office right now… I absolutely hate free trials, and office 2007 takes up too much power for a netbook.

Anyways, this netbook came pre-installed with Microsoft works. I didn’t know they still made that, since office is the main product.

Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, (abbreviated as SG:TA), was to be a first-person shooter based on Season 8 of Stargate SG-1 using a modified version of the Unreal Engine. Development was cancelled in 2006.

lol
Mr. Dorman says:
they should not have cancled it

Anyways, I’ll make sure to get a picture of this thing against my old laptop tomorrow. The difference between a large 17in screen and this 10in screen is enormous.

Day 27: Well Carp.

•October 28, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Thinking I would make a photo post today, I fished through my drawer trying to find my SD card reader. I don’t actually have it with me… >__> I left it at home with my mom, so she could use her camera. I have to use my laptop, and its safely away in my backpack right now, as I don’t have wifi in here.

I’ll make a photo post tomorrow, maybe.

I’ve been playing the Discworld Mud, as I have been a lot lately.

So, the game uses a bunch of random programming within itself. You can script and code your own aliases to make life easier, and even put simple variables into your description.

When I wear a mask, or whatnot, my character description shows the following, with the item name of whatever it is I’m wearing showing through.

Tiny gnome eyes peer at you through a black and white harlequin mask.

When I’m not wearing the mask, it shows the following instead.

In the spot where his face would be, there is a hole containing a small gnome sitting in an ornate dark purple chair.

Wallpaper Corner!

Definitely not made by me. Also, don’t ask me why they’re both Harley Quinn wallpapers… I do not know why I grabbed them.

Day 20: Sufficiently Advanced Pornography is Indistinguishable from Art.

•October 19, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I spent a good few hours on deviantArt, browsing the People and Portraits section.

Today, I’m going to do something which i terribly dislike, and make you click a link to read my post. I’m doing this mainly because I’m posting about something that not everyone wants to see. You can read the title of the article to figure out what I mean.
