Back In Business

Guys! My computer is back!

Ok, creepiness aside...It just came back a couple of hours ago. I am so excited; I was about ready to kill that tech team. :) I had actually just said something of the same to my mom before she left this morning. I guess the tech team got nervous. ;)

Anyway, so now I plan on getting caught up with you people's blogs and continue posting regularly on my own.

Till later!

A Tech Rant

My computer has died.

This is why I wasn't posting for a while. For some odd and ridiculous reason, my computer has decided to fail me. This is extremely annoying to me because I am able to fix every technological problem with computers in my house. I hate calling tech, its is shameful for me. That I, the family computer whiz, should have to call those tech guys on the phone. It's shocking. (Who ask dumb questions like "did you restart the computer?") It's embarrassing and I HATE talking to people. On. The phone.

Anyway, it's library day, so I'm posting from one of their computers. My computer went out in the mail today, so it should be back in a couple of days hopefully. I'm going crazy without it. I'm really hoping they send me back my same computer, I don't want a new one. :(

Cleverbot

I found this website called Cleverbot. It's amazing. I had a conversation with it. Clearly I have too much time on my hands. Anyway, here was part of the conversation. Cleverbot's words are in blue.

 

Amazing, right! I pretended to be the Doctor.

I Tackle the World of Code

That's right. I've started to code. I found a website called Code Academy, which is basically a free online school on how to code. It looks a lot like Khan Academy website-wise, if anyone knows what that is. It has different levels of coding. I took Web Design my sophomore year, but I don't remember a lot of it because I didn't really but it into practice. Anyways, I have found it rather fun. I just started Basic HTML 2 of Web Fundamentals and then I'll probably start Java. I'm really excited, it will be really neat to learn how to do real coding and web design. Yes, I know, I'm a geek. Normal people my age and gender talk about guys, I talk about coding. Whatever. I don't really care. I get really excited when I find something new on the internet that can help me learn different stuff. The world God made is amazing.

On Christmas Music and Desktop Wallpaper

Now don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, and Christmas music. However, all things in moderation. Like I really follow that. Ever. Especially when it comes to Doctor Who. Anyway, I am sitting in Sheetz again today, and guess what? They are NOT playing Christmas music. Kudos to Sheetz.

I love Christmas music, but it gets annoying after a while. I realize that the majority of the population in the United States probably opposes my opinion. But to walk into Sheetz and have it pretty much be the only place not playing Xmas music really made my day. It was even more awesome because the music that plays in Sheetz is basically the same as my Pandora station, which makes my life amazing. I get to listen to Coldplay, Of Monsters and Men and Colbie Collait all day long.

So yeah, Sheetz gets the medal of fantasticness today.

On a completely different note...
The Time of the Doctor promo pic came out! (at least a better one than before) This was really great because I was looking and looking for a good DW pic to change my desktop wallpaper on my school computer. I am really not supposed to change it, but I do anyway. (Who wants to stare at the Microsoft logo all the time.)

Finding a good wallpaper for my computer is something of a task for me. Due to my OCD (I think), I have to have a wallpaper that is at least a quarter larger in resolution for me to be satisfied. The subject of the wallpaper must be centered and have the perfect pose etc. So it takes me a while to find a wallpaper that I REALLY like, and when I do, I'm like, no. I don't know anyone else who does this, but having a perfect desktop screen is essential to my life. Seriously. I organize my desktop icons like twice a day.

Anyway, that's all. Back to schoolwork.
