Yay, comments!

Well, I guess since you guys finally commented I ought to do another post today :P

Where to start... I guess I have to talk about my philosophical stuffsies or something like that. I'll get to it in a second maybe.

Anyway, I haven't done work on ProudOf in a little while because I am working on a custom mod. I'm not going to use its code for any lessons, because you have to pay for a license and what would be the point for me to release the code for free?

So, at Trialga we have a new thing coming up that will be interesting. Jeremy planned it and is executing it, so you'll see it ready soon :) It's a pretty cool idea and it should work out well. Go Jeremy!

Also, we've passed 50 members and are almost at 2,500 posts! (I have more than 600 posts lol) Yay for the new Trialga! Keep up the good work members :) We also have two new staff members that will help us out with the moderating stuff so we have more time to do our adminy things, as well as more people to thwart spammers and such. Good luck to the new staff!

I've been taking a lot more time to help out people at Invisionize. Part of this is because I now have a better understanding of IPB after working with it for a while, and part of it is because I submitted an application for Community Team over there. I think it would be really awesome if they accepted me, as I'd like to help out more and be a bigger part of the community. I've somehow managed to get 300 posts over there, so I guess I have been spending more time there than I thought. Wish me luck!

With all that said, let's get down to business. I'm going to tell you quite a bit about me, so here goes.

Obviously, I am 16. I am in the Computer Science magnet at my school and enjoy programming a lot. I also like to play video games, hang out with my friends, and I like to bike. Biking is good exercise and lets me relax. Usually, if you give me some sort of task to do, I will try and figure it out and finish it, provided that it challenges me in ways where I will enjoy trying to figure it out.

For example, in my computer class last year, we had at least one instance where we were required to write an algorithm for a program and then go write it. Being me, I went ahead and programmed it on my own, left with only the commented code to turn in. What I did was went through the code and took out the comments. This was quite a tedious effort, and I asked if I could just turn in the code itself. Our teacher wanted the algorithm (comments in my case), and suggested that I make a program to get the comments from the code.

Which, after a bit of work with file functions and string tokenizer (which I don't think anyone else did in my class), I completed. The source code can be found here: http://trialga.net/Commenter.java and can be used if you have the Keyboard class bundle ( http://trialga.net/Keyboard.zip ). So yeah, I'm determined if I feel like it.

In my free time I like to program, chat (send me a message, as long as it's not annoying and you don't send me eight thousand within ten seconds), and generally hang out. I pwn at SWAT in Halo 2, but only with my friends. I'd probably get creamed on XBOX Live, but I wouldn't know for sure.

Anyway, I guess I have to delve into more philosophical topics or something like that. Here goes that too.

Actually, that's too vague of a category. (That sentence almost had me cursing) So yeah.

I like good food. That's simple. Hispanic cuisine is good and spicy. I like Chinese food, pork fried rice and wonton soup. What would hibachi steak fall under? Chinese I guess? I don't know, sorry lol. Umm... yeah. I like Ramen noodles and the Cheerios vanilla yogurt blast cereal. You'll probably find me eating Ramen everyday in college, what with them being so damn good and cheap. It's like 17 cents for a package at Publix so yeah. You can get like 6 for a buck.

Anyway, I think I'll wrap up for today's post. Be specific in your comments lol.

Peace everyone.
