Life often seems desperate, and a bit hopeless. Sometimes life seems like it has no point and all paths lead to a bleak existence on the road to non-existence. Humans seem to have no understanding of anything but “this moment” or “this emotion”, which creates sensations that may be a bit irrational. Things in life […]
I am anxiously watching the grade pages for 3 of my classes. I have a paper in Art History and one in American History that were turned in well over a week ago that I am waiting for grades on, and also a mid-term in C# that I turned in just a few days ago. […]
I have had a few programming classes now and it seems as though programmers are being trained to program for failure rather than success. One of the features of modern programming languages is exception handling. While this is a nice feature, because users do stupid things and we don’t always need an application to crash […]
Basically, it prompts for a GITI ID, user enters an assignment number from the Education module, and it calls the database server and asks for the class code and the assignment name. Nothing special yet. I’m using the MySQL Connector for ADO.NET. It’s kind of lame, but is my first step towards a version of […]
Looking at the number of states that have some sort of Gay-Marriage Ban on their ballots for November, I am shocked. Isn’t this a step backward for a society? Should we be seeking to limit the rights of citizens like this? I am personally against homosexuals being married. Marriage has become more about a contractual […]
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/07/automobiles/07auto.html I love Ford’s newest “enhancement” to its vehicles. A special key for teens to use when driving that restricts their speed and stereo use. What a piece of shit! Ford claims the device is to help teach kids how to drive more safely. I must question what the awkward year to 18 months in […]
I thought that preparing a manuscript of my poetry for review by a UNC instructor would be very easy… just pick the poems I like and then submit them in a bound format. Not exactly. I have fighting with myself over the quality of the existing poems and then I’m considering what I will need […]
Reviewing my academic record is a bit like galloping through the woods on a psychotic horse, you are never really sure where you are going to end up. Just about any degree I want I am about 30 hours from. I was reviewing my academic program for Fayetteville State University this morning and discovered that […]
I am starting to hate this whole “digital” thing that is happening. Digital being just digital is fine, but unfortunately, digital often means compression. Compression often means loss of quality, therefore, digital often means loss of quality. Theatres in the United States will soon be upgraded to using digital projectors and receiving movies digitally. No […]
In New York City, there is currently a very strange thing happening. The city council is considering removing a term-limit law for the mayor, just to allow Bloomberg to run again. In 1993, the people of the city voted to impose a limit. In this situation, the city council wishes to change the law due […]
