DSL

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 05:30:44 GMT

After over a decade of 28.8 kilobits (or less) dial up speed, I finally join the ranks of the broadband users.

Apparently some rich prick is building a huge agricultural factory of some manner about five miles down the road, and my phone provider stuck a DSL repeater switch right outside the building just for him. Lucky for me, that put me -just- outside the service area, and I managed to coerce CenturyTel into giving me service anyways.

It's only 512 asymmetrical broadband, but 64 kilobytes per second is a hell of an improvement over 2.

Oh, and, I chose an Australian server because I wanted to see what my connection would be like between me and a computer at the furthest distance possible from where I'm sitting.

The almighty zippo

It was mentioned in the last post, and I had shown a few scattered people the almighty zippo; now I share with all its' glory:

...yeah.

Bye CSS.

The old layout sucked and I didn't feel like trying to modify it into anything that didn't, so I'm just going to leave it as default until I can produce something that doesn't look terrible. Not that it matters anyways, I never post anything important here.

Wow. Just... wow.

The sheer level of computer geekiness that has been revealed to me by this test just has to be shared.

Honest, unedited result for the test that I blew through in two minutes:

Overall, you scored as follows:

0% scored higher (more computer geeky),
0% scored the same, and
100% scored lower (less geeky).

Compared to those in the same age group as you:

0% scored higher (more computer geeky),
0% scored the same, and
100% scored lower (less geeky).

What does this mean? Your computer geekiness is:

Step aside Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds, and Steve Jobs... You are by far the SUPREME COMPUTER GOD!!!

Evilness.

I got the same result as Tibby. Go look at his blog to see it.

More boring life stuff.

I decided to make a sheet with all the classes I need, what semesters I wanted to take them, the cost, and etcetera. Only the course name and number are on their program sheets, so I made a complete reference for my own use.

I'm going to make one for the web developer program eventually too, as I want to take it, and the course overlap between my electives and general education cuts the time I'd need to spend on the degree in half.

[Edit] Made one for web developer.

More boring life stuff + Return of the Mini-Rant

Programming Logic is still flowcharts. I hate flowcharts. They should die.

VB.NET is becoming slightly more interesting, as the class has started the lesson on decision structures (if/elseif/else), so the programs required are getting more interesting to write, though still amazingly easy.

I have to say Business Organization is more interesting than it should be, as the instructor is able to keep the class's attention with well placed humor (and at 8AM, that's a good thing).

Frontpage I've essentially overthrown altogether, as I've finished my project for the class in PHP (which can be found at http://mobiusevalon.tibbius.com/mptc).

MS Access I finished weeks ago with a 98% class grade and a 99 percentile (how anyone could fall under 95% is a mystery...).

I'm starting to think either I'm really smart or everyone else is really uneducated. I expected an academic challenge and I'm basically going through programming 101 four times a week. Though it is just the first semester, so I might see some more interesting stuff in the coming semesters.

On to the mini-rant. I've got no problem with immigrants, as the entire country was built on them back in 1600 BC (lols, subtle stab at history noobs). The people who legally come here and perform the citizenship process are welcome to do whatever they feel like under the law and constitution, but all of these illegal aliens need to be put on a boat back to their damned country.

On the same subject, it was my understanding that English was the primary language of the United States. Every time I see a soap dispenser, or a handout from the college, or a wet floor sign, the label is written in six languages (in Wisconsin, it's English, Spanish, Russian, Hmong, Italian and French), hence my biggest problem with the immigrants. The last time I checked, if I were to go to Russia, I'd need to learn Russian and Russian customs or I'd be SOL and lost in a country where I can't understand any text written anywhere, yet when they come here, we have to learn their language to communicate with them IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.

Furthermore, the whole affirmative action thing needs to be toned down. No boss is afraid to fire a lazy white man because he's not performing the job he was hired to do and the worker knows it, but is deathly afraid to even suggest a black, latino, russian or hmong man do his job because the first thing that comes out of their mouth is "DISCRIMINATION" or "RACIST" (whether it be in English or not).

Everyone asks me why I'm so anti-America, and the aforementioned is the biggest reason. The country is catering entirely to the immigrants while the white citizens are left behind. I can think of a place that congress can shove that amnesty bill, too.
