EPIC SITE

Sunday, June 27th, 2010 at 1:04 am

I finally have my idea for an EPIC SITE. I’m not going to share details on it…I just wanted to post that I have it. Hopefully after/during this learning vacation, I’ll start some high level development/experimenting…

It will be done in ASP.NET 3.5/4 C# and heavily use AJAX…and LINQ…and (insert buzzword I haven’t learned yet here).

The site will be EPICLY difficult to do.

/I might need help… :S

Transformice

Possibly the most fun game I’ve played in a long, long time…Watch the video…play the game. It’s ridiculously simple, cute, and hilarious. I’m laughing so hard when I play…watching all these mice be stupid :D


Play Transformice now!

Jack of all trades, master of none, though ofttimes better than master of one

Friday, June 25th, 2010 at 1:58 pm

Some people are good at a select few things. Some people specialize in 1 thing. And me…I’m a jack of all trades type person. Sorta. I’m a jack of all trades…within my area of a few things. Does that make sense?

I would say that the area I specialize in is geekdom. I like computers, electronics, gadgets, math, web design, web development, console gaming, pc gaming, comics, anime, manga, cartoons (that’s all I can think of right now).

However, in all of these areas…I’m not particularly awesome or intensely interested at any one thing. I don’t buy a lot of one thing. My interest is spread out (somewhat) evenly on all aspects.

In World of Warcraft, I had 10 80s. 1 character at level 80 of each class so I could experience every class. Some were played more and more geared than others but the idea was to play it all and then choose which one to focus on (which I never did, I liked playing all). On a more precise note….Druid was also my main for most of WoW. A druid itself is a jack of all trades, able to tank, dps and heal. A hybrid class for WoW.

In Web Development, I’ve used Notepad, EditPlus 2, Dreamweaver and Visual Studio. I know HTML, CSS, Javascript extremely well. I know some Ruby on Rails, jQuery. I know ASP Classic VB, PHP, SQL very well. I’m currently learning ASP.NET 3.5/4 C#, jQuery, HTML5….basically, I’m touching upon everything. But I don’t focus on any single thing.

In Web Design and Adobe, I would say I know my Photoshop best but I’m also familiar with Illustrator, Flash, Premiere, Soundbooth. I’ve used all of them a bit, Photoshop the most. I’m not an expert with any single program but I’ve used them all to do a number of things.

In Anime/Manga, I’ve watched my share but I’m in no way an anime fanatic. I have a number of toys/manga/dvds but that’s only 1/2 of my toys/manga/dvds. The other 1/2 is…

Comics/Cartoons. I’ve also watched and owned my share of comics/cartoons but that’s not my only interest.

I like to tinker and take apart electronics. My computer died so many times when I was young because I’d fiddle with it…reformat this, defrag that, regedit this, install virus by accident that. At this point, I know my way around a PC quite well…and next, I want a MacBook or laptop to learn Mac OS and Linux a bit.

I play various consoles, NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, PS3 but I’ve stayed away from Sega and XBox and a couple of Nintendo generation consoles. I PC game DOTA, LOL, WoW, Counter Strike Source, Plants VS Zombies…but I’m not particularly awesome at any of them. I play side scrolling, puzzle, fps, rts games…but I’m not awesome at any one of them (probably best at side scrolling and puzzle games).

Basically, I’m all over the place…and I like that. It does however, prevent me from getting into too much of a detailed discussion when I talk to hardcore gamers, web development experts or anime fanatics.

I kind of wish I was, say, master .NET developer. I wouldn’t be intimidated when I see jobs like that. But then again, I’d be ignoring all the jobs that say Web Developer or PHP Developer, etc.

Anyways…just writing a post on a topic I’ve had for over 6 months. I’ve been noticing and wanting to write about it lately…so here it is

/back to work…tho I’m about to take a 1 week vacation…to study…so things are quiet today :D

Hell’s Kitchen S07 E01 – S07 E06

Thursday, June 24th, 2010 at 10:14 pm

Spoiler Alert – Read if you’re caught up to episode 6

Man…Red is absolutely horrible. Scott is just terrible…the most terrible cook…with the most oblivious head and mouth. Just terrible…but he thinks he’s good >_< it’s so frustrating to watch. Episode 6 was the first episode were the sous chefs, Scott and Andi (!pretty!) took over a side of the kitchen. Man, I wish I was served food by those 2. They’re both so high in skill…just the 2 of them can run a kitchen and do it perfectly. Their food looked awesome. Thankfully, Maria the retard is gone. Chef: “Why’s she so weird?” I lol’d. I honestly hated watching her…like, my blood would boil when I’d see her face, facial reactions, the way she carried herself…argh. Andrew…glad he walked out on the second episode. He freaked me out…he was like, animal killer. And he enjoyed it. He enjoyed butchering his animals…eating stuff raw. Freak. Social outcast and psychotic. I like Ben and Ed….I think they show potential. Ed only did well in that first, 1 episode…but he hasn’t screwed up since then. He does have a deer in the headlights look whenever he’s on the spot…i don’t like that. Like everything’s a surprise. Italian guy (Salvatore?) is funny but unfortunately, simply too stupid. Hard to say for Jay…and Holli….they’re still a bit of a mystery. Gotta say, I’m crushing on Holli…she reminds me kinda of Robin Scherbatsky. I liked when she had to play waitress and was dressed in that suit. Hawt! And then we learned Salvatore was an idiot…and later, that he never went to school. Kinda sad :'( But that’s what he gets for being a “man whore”. Siobahn’s not gonna last, Fran’s not gonna last (Chef Ramsey likes young people…he likes to see growth). My prediction of final 5: Ed, Ben, Autumn, Jay, Holli My prediction of final 3: Ed, Ben…and….Autumn. /probably awesome at cooking wellington just from the number of them I’ve seen…i can figure out raw by touching! touch the food, touch touch!

Expenses

*Erased due to Z saying I shouldn’t write about my expenses*
I’ll leave the bottom…tho it’s kinda outta context.

Damn you lottery…if only I’d won you. It would make this post irrelevant…
Now I’m talking to the damn lottery…like it’s an entity.
I pray to you lottery god, just give me a mere 1 million and I will repay your kindness with an eternity in hell…for being slothful and greedy. This by no means is a written agreement. I’m not going to the hell I don’t believe in for this. Well…maybe for a few million.

/thinks that my posts lately have been terribad.
