Membership Expires

Well, this somewhat sucks. My membership is expiring and my computer is fried. So I'm currently using the family computer, and it isn't very pleasant.

So for the past two weeks I havn't managed to get much programming done and havn't been able to do anything with photoshop. I've lost a good deal of files, however managed to backup quite a few. So it will be a while before I get back on track, hopefully sooner than later. However that is being optimistic, it will likely be a few months before I get my membership renewed and a few more before I either get my computer sorted or get a new one.

I had previously said that I would make the CSS for the Dbz guild, well this is why I havn't been able to and why I havn't really been in contact.

Until next time...

Good Gawd!

Well my 1 year is almost up, then I get to say toodles to my membership. I've never been much of a blogger, and could have probably gotten my money's worth out of this blog had anything relatively interesting happened to me this past year.

As for the job-hunt, still no luck. Apparently people would prefer someone with previous customer services experience, which is rather hard to obtain when nobody will hire you because you don't already have it.

Thus, my game plan is simple:
mob/proc/GetJob(wage,hours,rating)
    if(rating<3)
        Purchase("Antidepressants")
    if(wage*hours<100)
        Purchase("Byond Membership")
    else
        Purchase("Byond Membership")
        Purchase("Booze")

New CSS

Well I thought I'd try something different, although chances are I will revert to my old one. The bases of the CSS were created by Foomer, as I had some trouble with the top image and was hopeless with the forums (Which still need some work). So I'm rather grateful.

C&C Much appreciates as usual, please point out anything wrong that I may have overlooked.

What Are Your Directives?

I was just curious to see what common #define directives people used in their projects that could apply to others. These will obviously be calculations for the most part. Here are a few I often use -

#define SQR(X) ((X)*(X))                  //Classic Square

#define Percent(X,Y) ((X/100)*(Y))           //Find the percentage: X is the inital value - Y is the percentage

#define BoostPercent(X,Y) (X+(X/100)*(Y))    //Boost a value by a percentage: Same structure as above

#define floor(x) round(x)                    //Rounds number down, toward zero, to the nearest multiple of significance. 

#define ceil(x) (-round(-(x)))                       //Returns number rounded up, away from zero, to the nearest multiple of significance

#define OddOrEven(X) ((X & 1) != 0)              //Returns true if a value is Odd, false if it's Even (up to 1e+010)

#define InRange(X,Y,Z) (X <= Y && Y <= Z)      //Check if a value is in range: X is lowest parameter, Y is your value, Z is the highest parameter

Highlight of my Day...

Well, as some of you may or may not know, I work for Amazon.co.uk. Basically, I get to stand on my feet for 10 hours (I do get breaks...) packing the things that people buy off of their website.

So while I was in my usual trance, I couldn't help but look down and see a very familiar picture on the book in my hand. It was none other than This Little Rascal! That's right, the book is just full of the infamous Lolcat images.

While I thought this kid was an idiot for paying to see these images, it was the highlight of my day (Then again..someone did fall over..).

So I gave him an extra 20% off voucher.
