Is it that time again?

I missed my BYOND anniversary for the first time in 4 years =(. Probably because I barely ever use BYOND anymore and haven't done any programming for about a year, but still, it's quite sad (it's actually the opposite of sad in one meaning of the word sad).

Final Year Of School

No, this won't be the emotional post about how school has finally ended. It'll actually be the "I'm so glad school is about to end" type of post.

Yeah so school started on Wednesday (today being Thursday). I have to say, it is pretty dull. It's actually unbelievable how long I think this year will be. Today, I had my first biology lesson (of the year) and about one period in I was already bored and thinking "Oh crap, I've forgotten everything I 'learnt' last year. And oh crap, I've just remembered how boring biology is. And oh crap, I think the teacher is staring at me as I look out the window, day dreaming". On the plus side, I had quadruple maths today for the first time ever. It wasn't quite QUADRUPLE though because we, the further mathematicians, were made to do slave work by carrying a bunch of boxes filled with books up a flight of stairs.

The lessons themselves aren't really annoying though. I'm actually quite happy with my teachers right now (granted, I haven't seen my second biology teacher). And the people in my classes are actually alright as well (aside from the fact how only my biology has girls in it). No, what's annoying is that we have to pretty much be ready to apply to universities by Monday. Personally, I think it's absolutely ridiculous. What's REALLY annoying me is everyone around me. You see, lower down the school, we used to be all boys. But when you enter the year below mine, your year would get mixed by an introduction of around 60 girls. I find every single person in the year below ours really irritating. They've like abducted the school. Any where I go, all I see is them. I've barely seen most of the people in my year but I'm sure I've seen at least 80% of they year below me.

Another thing that's annoying me is the amount of free periods I've got. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not asking to have them filled with lessons or anything. I'd just prefer to go home early (well no, I'd prefer to go in to school late actually). In the free periods, we can do what ever we want. Go outside, watch TV in the common room, work or "socialise". But really, it's just so stupid when you're just sitting there for all of break time (20 mins) + a triple free (35*3 mins) + lunch time (1 hour) just to go to a stupid biology lesson.

Yeah anyway, the only reason I hit the add post button was to show everyone my timetable. I have no clue why I started monologuing. So, here it is, not that anyone cares:

A Great Author

I've never been a great appreciator of literature. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't NOT appreciate it, but I don't exactly go out my way to read lots of "good" books or lots of poetry or anything. I more or less just let things come to me.

But one day, I was searching on Google for something quite random when I came across what appeared to be some sort of article on this guy's ex-girlfriends. It was 3 AM, I was alone and bored, so obviously, intrigued, I opened it. And the stuff on there was actually quite funny and interesting. I've never really seen authors catch my interest when I read, I more or less read because I either have to or because the topic is interesting - not because of the quality of the written work. But with this guy, it was different. Not only were the stories interesting, I actually wanted to read more. Having gone through almost every post of his, I'm now a fan of his and I just thought I'd share it with anyone still bored enough to be reading this.

I like stories about his kids the most. These ones, in no particular order, are my favourites though:

Father Shut-In
My Daughter and My Penis
Gay Marriage: So What?
Confessions of a Sexual Pervert
Kids and Death
"Daddy? Who's God?"
My Daughter Won't Shut Up
Boys Are Not Girls
My Son Has Found His Penis

Leprechauns...

Let's suppose there are 5 leprechauns that have a height between 0 - 2 (units don't matter), 3 leprechauns that have a height between 2 - 7 and 10 leprechauns that have a height between 7 - 12. We want to find out how many leprechauns there are that have a height between 3 - 10. Now, I have a method of answering that. But can anyone think of a common BYOND/video game related problem where knowing how many "leprechauns" have a height between a certain boundaries? In other words, can anyone think of a situation where we need to know how many things are in a group?

Dragon Ball Fighting Spirit

Here's a video of a game I've been developing for quite a long time. I hope you guys like it. It's unfortunately no where near complete but it's slowly getting there! I'll add a picture to maybe encourage you to download the video.
