RRAaaagH!!

I need to post more! Bllaaaarrrh!

Update on Life So Far:
I’ve been trying out C++ with IndieLib, which rocks solid awesome pancakes – prewritten functions for adding entities, surfaces, 3d models, everything except sound (which I can do with Bass anyway ). Problem is, I have trouble staying committed to my projects. Maybe if I release a little test thing to my readers, that might get me motivated? I’d love to hear from you guys. I know there must be a few more than are making themselves apparent of you, since I get more visits than I expect…

Hmm… what else? Oh yes, did some exams. They’re all gewd! :3
I want to draw things, and make a webcomic. I’m not very good at drawing things. Maybe I need to go to an art school or something. But there isn’t time for that – so maybe I should look for art tutorials on the web and teach myself better skills.

Keehhh… I need more friends. I suppose I’ll meet more as I move on to further things than this school… like college and university. Hardly anybody shares my interests and bizarre outlook upon life at my school. The majority of interests include drinking, spitting, and watching football – and that’s not how I roll.
Also, I’m experimenting with various new hairstyles and so on, trying to find one that suits. I think I may have found it. No telling yet though!

I need a new headset; this one is starting to sound tinny and the microphone keeps conking out.

Conk. Conkity conk.

Strange Emotion?!

You are walking along a dark cave. You encounter a STRANGE EMOTION!

Yeah, so I felt random yesterday in a different way than normal. I suppose my general feeling could be described like this:

:3

Odd, isn’t it? I actually FELT like the whole ^w^ thing.
It was fun though. Oh, and I listened to Tetris Theme (Korobeniki) Remixes. And played around with Realflow, a fluid simulator.

Moar Posting!

Ah, I love The Matrix. Very very well executed for the time of it’s production, thought-provoking and awesome.
Yay!

Blog Entry? Last day of school before the Christmas break was today! That means I am free! Free for about 2 weeks (and a little bit)! Yeeeaaay!
So, what do I expect from Christmas this year?
I’d like to say “just my family, that’s all”, but am I being really honest? Is anyone, as a matter of fact? Unless you have the skill and self control to want nothing more than just your normal routine, then what is so absurd?

This is a little point I like to show people. Most of what social interactions we have are basically lies. An example?

“How are you feeling?”
“Oh, yeah, I’m fine.”
“You sure?”
“Yep.”

Now, is this really the case? Obviously this person isn’t feeling fine. After all, the non-commital way they said it means that they’re probably just hiding what they really want to say.
“I feel dead inside and I just can’t be bothered with the rest of today, I want to go back to bed!” makes you sound like a complete and total ungrateful prat. However, a lot of people are. Humans just aren’t satisfied, though we are told time and time again we should be thankful for what we actually DO have, it becomes difficult to stick to this regime.

Me? Oh, I’m actually really quite happy. I’m just living life as it comes along. But yet: does this mean that I don’t want cool gifts? No. It’s simply in human nature to want more than we have. Look at the Bible: Adam wanted more than he had, so he took the fruit. If you’re of the Evolution crowd, obviously primoridial slugs wanted more than they had and thought it was a jolly good idea to get some lungs aboard.
If you believe neither, just imagine how you would react if somebody said, “Here’s a thick wad of money, do you want it?”. Would you reply “No, it’s ok, I have some money already.”? Not many people would, I know that.
Some people have a reason to want more than they have; it’s because they have poor standard of living. Impoverished or permanently diseased people often want more than they have: and why shouldn’t they? But the rest of us don’t REALLY need what we WANT, now do we?

December Update Time!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, where’s the time gone?!

I haven’t blogged in MONTHS! It’s time for a ramble! It’s time for my BIGGEST POST YET!

First on our delectable menu: LittleBigPlanet. Now I’m sure you’ve all seen some of this, but it really comes into its own when other people make videos and use capture devices to record stuff. Because holding a camera to your TV sucks big time.
For example, here’s a couple of comedy clips:
Huggy Time: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=S_NaXx9xEDQ
The WeeGees (a WeeGee is a badly drawn Luigi from the CD-i Mario games) : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3qOHKfgnVWY

The amazing creations people have made just stuns me. Especially the Azure Palace: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aBJlkpTIw48

It’s like watching a movie, it’s incredible.
The only problem with LBP is that it is a PS3-Exclusive; which, I suppose, isn’t bad for the what used-to-be ailing PS3 games market. Also, the game was developed in the UK by MediaMolecule, some pretty awesome guys. It’s quite a small team too! So big round of applause for somebody getting this country’s gaming industry off of the ground where it’s been for the past 15 years! Wooohooo!

The next item on our menu (which is indeed delectable) is Old Sonic Games. Sonic DIED in 1997. Literally, there have been no good Sonic games since then. But ah! Why don’t SEGA do this: make a NEW Sonic game that looks like one on the OLD engine? Like what these guys have done with their fan-project Sonic Nexus. That is a beautiful game, and runs very smooth under Wine on Linux.

They originally wrote it in Multimedia Fusion 2, but deemed it too slow for their demands and switched to C++: this could mean a Linux port in the future, once it is done. It only currently exists in short demos, but their devblog is updated every 1-3 weeks or so.

Next up: Santa Hats. Why do we all love them so much? What is it about the brilliant red skirted with white fluff and with a white bobble on the end that makes them seem so awesome? Why?! Must find me some answers.

Oh, it’s time to choose some drinks from the menu; I’ll just have a Cola, but we can get a bottle of Various Linux Stuff I’ve Been Doing (Late 2008)!
Yes, I’ve been dual booting with an External USB HDD, and I must say the PLoP BootManager has been serving me well. Since my PC can’t boot from USB, PLoP saved my skin! Now I can BOOT ANYTHING BUAHAHAHA! NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW, NOTHING, NOTHING, NOOOOOTHIIIIING GWAH HAH HA HAH AHAAAH!

Ahem, yes. Anyway, what’s next? Of course, the Dessert. Let’s see, Cheesecake, no, Gateaux…..hmm…. no, no, not that either, n- aha, yes, I would like some awesome explosive ramblings! Dessert is the best part!

#Here We Go!

Since when was it legal to have teachers confiscate your mobile should you use it in class? That still counts as theft, and here in the UK we have a law known as “Citizen’s Arrest” where a citizen of age 16 or above can legally arrest and restrain (without force) a person committing a crime before delivering them to the police. So technically, should a teacher take my phone I can arrest them for theft, and they would be liable to pay a fine. Hehe, the fun I could have with that…

“I am sorry, Mr. SoandSo, but you are under CITIZEN’S ARREST. You will remain here silently until the police arrive. Should you fail to co-operate, you will be charged for resisting arrest as well as your current charge for wilful theft. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used as evidence in the courtroom. “
Technically, I could do that, because when you go to school, you don’t sign some Terms of Agreement! You are not legally obliged to do what you are told by any member of staff in the school! Therefore, holding a pupil in detention could class as kidnapping, and would be an even steeper crime than petty theft! Hah!

*In detention class*

“Sir, you are committing a CRIME. I have placed you under citizen’s arrest, and I ask you to accompany me to the police station. If you continue to keep me in this room and do not comply with this command, you are resisting arrest and continuing your crime of kidnapping and hostage-holding. “
Gee hee hee hee! I would so love to do that. Thing is, I’m perfectly within my rights to do that!

I’m not sure if I could pull it off though. Maybe on my last day at school.
So, my future plans, eh? Well, I’m thinking about going to College before leaping into University; after all, the more degrees, the better chance of a job to support me when I’m in Uni. Food ain’t free, y’know. As for a job at the moment, my options are rather limited: I can’t drive, and I’m still in school. So my job would just about pay for the fuel costs, let alone road tax and car repairs and so on.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… everywhere you gooooo!

Hmm, here’s a fun thing to try. Hold up an object to the light: then play some of the Also Sprach Zarathustra for dramatic effect.

FracturedPsyche, signing out, roger roger!

Another Random Post

Oh, what fun these things are. Time to start rambling, it’s 10:10 PM!

Here we go.

“Now this is a story, all about how my life got flipped, turned upside-down; and i’d like to take a minute just sit right there, let me tell you a story about how I became the Prince of a town called Bel-Air.”
Does Bel-Air actually exist? Google Maps time!

Wow, I guess it does. I wonder if it’s like it is in the TV Show; did they film there? It’s amazing how easily things like this slip past us. Details that nobody cares about but that somebody checked and checked to make sure all was in place.

Which moves me on: What is a spleen, when you get right down to it? What does it DO?

Á la Wikipedia:

The spleen is an organ found in all vertebrate animals.[1] In humans, the spleen is located in the abdomen of the body, where it functions in the destruction of redundant red blood cells and holds a reservoir of blood. It is regarded as one of the centers of activity of the reticuloendothelial system (part of the immune system). It is increasingly recognized that its absence leads to a predisposition to certain infections.[2]

Hmm. So without a spleen, we get ill more often. That’s interesting to know; does the spleen get hurt by physical impact? It is after all, right next to the stomach, so will a punch in the gut momentarily increase susceptibility to disease? This warrants some experiments.

Next item: Quantum Physics. What is so hard to understand about it? People just don’t get it, and I don’t understand why not! I mean, with quantum physics everthing has happened already but it didn’t and won’t again, but not again since it hasn’t. Since it has though, the not happening of it didn’t, so therefore that means that happening dies. Therefore, causality is impaired and we all get cake. With quantum, you can stick a spoon up your nose, KNOWING that there is a chance (albeit a small one) of you suddenly getting rich if you do so. If you were to record all possible outcomes of sticking a spoon up your nose every day, you could eventually get the probability of certain events. Like there is a one-in-seventeen hundred chance of your pet goldfish dying if you do this; then you know that if everybody stuck spoons up their noses everyday you’d get a mass goldfish genocide every 1700th person. Or something. Science is fun!

I’ve also thought of an alternative to Schrodinger’s Cat. Schrodinger’s Egg. Say you have a raw egg. There’s only two outcomes when you crack it open: rotten or fine. Therefore, it’s a 1-in-2 chance of niceness; 50-50 chances. So before you crack it, both alternate universes exist (one where you throw it away, one where you don’t) until you open it. When you do, they collapse into one. So every time you break an egg, you destroy an entire universe. Pretty cool, huh? Of course, if there were 3 outcomes, like “Salmonella, Rotten, Fine” you’d have a 33% chance of a nice egg; there’s more chance of a bad one than a good one. Therefore you should be able to take out a nice universe. However, each egg you break has been tested already: destroying your chances of destroying a universe. How annoying!

So the only way to get a real 33% is to get a chicken and make it lay an egg (easier said than done). Multiple factors however may override the math, and destroy the universe inside the chicken. This proves that chickens are evil and must be stopped. They lay bombs that when broken, destroy universes.

We have to stop chickens now!
