i have an imac. aaaaahhhhhhh…it’s really funny though cuz whenever i’m talking to computer geeks they’re like “do u have a mac?” and i say, “yeah but it sucks” and they say something like “noo” or “macs are cool” and then i say, “i have an imac” and they go “oh. never mind”
not that there’s actually anything wrong with this comp. Except that it freezes when i try to play a game as complicated as harry potter (which is really not that complicated at all) and safari keeps asking me for my keychain password every five minutes…
i ♥ apple. yay for the ipods!!!
the oldest comp we have is my dad’s g3. he used it for doing the park newsletter, but now he doesn’t do that and it just lurks in the basement. our newest is totally off-limits (it’s my mom’s work comp-OSU gave it to her so we don’t get to use it) but it’s really cool. It has garageband ♥ fun…when we can get to it.
And then there’s the imac and mom’s old laptop in the middle. huzzah for my tech-obssessed family…

If you have a system 10 Mac or higher, press down control, option, and apple, than hit 8 and the same time. Press it again to get it back to normal. If it doesn’t work, your system probably isn’t high enough. Sowy.

Does anyone here code? I’ve been wanting to learn Perl and C++ (not to mention brush up on my HTML) for a long time, but I haven’t gotten around to it.. I did write a nice program in Perl that factored numbers to their prime factors but it was on my old computer, running Linux, and so I don’t have it on this one.. I was trying to write it again the other day and also tweak it so instead of printing the numbers out like “2*2*3*5” it would instead print it out like “2^2*3*5” but I couldn’t figure it out.. I’m thinking I need to use a hash or an array but I don’t really understand those.. Also when I start it
“#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict -w;”
which I think is what I’ve always done it comes back with “unknown ‘strict’ tag(s) at [name of program] line 2”.. so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.. What I really should do is ask my brother…

In my loft, I have an Amstrad 6128, an Acorn Atom, a Jupiter Ace and a Tangerine Microtan.
The latter is really cool. Firstly, I had to build it myself. Secondly, it has all of 16K of RAM. That’s K, not M or G. Thirdly, one interacts with it by typing in programs in machine code – long sequences of hex digits – via a dodgy 20-key keypad. It uses an old black-and-white telly for its display, which is plain text. No graphics. When you switch it off, all the programs disappear, because they’re in RAM. By the time I could afford the cassette interface, there was something better on the market. But you could actually play Space Invaders (with one invader) after half an hour’s typing. If you made no mistakes.
And you think you lot are nerdy.

as much as i would LOVE to spend half an hour getting set up to play space invaders, my patience with these things is if not zero, then pretty darn close. I can definitely say the computer would end up on the other side of the room in ten minutes. If i could lift it that is…
I like text RPGs. more options. More chance of mary sues too, but that’s a risk i’ll take.

I keep meaning to re-download Mario and Tetris to my calculator.. I was playing them one day and the screen went blank and when it came back they were deleted.. And they were my two best games, too..
But I can sort of program on my calculator.

All I can do on my computer is play solitaire, minesweeper, and pinball, and get on the internet. Once I am on, all I do is go to a site where I have my e-mail, come to MuseBlog, go to Xanga, go to a political columnist’s site and read her articles, go to a band’s site and get on their boards, go to two sites that have movie and/or music reviews, and go to a site for the speech and debate league I’m in. Even with these very limited ways to spend my time on the computer, I somehow manage to waste the entire day on here regularly.

No point building a computer nowadays. It’s all too easy. Just plug everything in and let Windows XP sort it all out. Back in the good old days, you had to solder sockets for the chips onto the mother board. Likewise legions of resistors, capacitors, the odd inductor, and a few unspecified components. And make sure you didn’t end up with dry joints. Then you built the case. No, there was no design for the case. You just got some plywood and invented it. Ah, happy days……

The trouble with iPods is that they lock you into a proprietary technology. Like Microsoft, but with less justification and more evil intent. There are plenty of generic mp3 players on the market which are half the price of an iPod, and into which you can stuff pretty much anything. Including a shopping list, although you’d be hard pushed to get audio out of that. I use my cheapo no-name version for interviewing archaeologists.

I’m going to get a cheapo no-name version. How I do not know, but anyway, that’s just a small detail and I really don’t have to plan it all that much.
I’m really depressed right now. Today the kids (monkeys?) were playing Zap, that game where you write a time on the back of your friends’ hand, and a name on the palm, and if you look at your palm before the time you have to ask that person out. They were deciding what to write on one guy’s hand, someone suggested my luminous self, and everyone immediately went “No-she’s way ugly!” I couldn’t resist turning around, saying “I love you too!” and throwing a dictionary at him. It was a moment that gave a zark of a boost to my self-esteem.

Yeah, I’m ugly too. It’s useful, actually. It saves having to talk to brainless preening people. It leaves more time for listening to one’s non-iPod.

didn’t you use to have a link to your website in your name?
Eh, my friend got a Nano for Christmas. My parents asked me if I wanted an ipod, but I don’t- I never go anywhere that I need more music than I can put in my cd case and I don’t end up listening to half of it anyway… maybe when I go to college and can’t take all my cds with me, but until then, I don’t really see that much of a point..
iPods are much cuter than generic mp3 players, though…

Alright, I have a virus/hacking question, so bear with my inept type.
One of my RPGs is having a strange problem- we’ve had a guest that literally sits there for hours on end, doing who knows what. This isn’t a just a passing visitor- for the past three days, they(We call him/her Pat) has been menacingly…anonymous.
Not only that, but today three members got the same virus while on the site- Bloodhound something or other. Very freaky.
Does anyone have some input here?

I don’t see any question marks. On my browser (Safari), I just see vertical bars (|) where they are supposed to be. I’ve changed the blog code to leave URLs out of the comment forms, so maybe some browsers substitute question marks for the missing information. If it’s distracting, I’ll change the code back.

OHMIGOD!!! OHMIGOD!!! MY INTERNET IS BACK!!!!! OH WONDERFUL INTERNET, WHY DID YOU EVER LEAVE ME????!!!!
So about an hour after I got home from school I went on the computer and discovered that my internet was off drinking and playing poker with its friends. I figured it would come home when it was broke, so I let it sit for awhile. Instead I cleared off a space in the middle of my room and unshelved all my books. Then I sat in the middle of them and meditated a bit, and then I put them all back in random order. This was a mistake, because it totally screwed up my feng shui, but it was fun. So then I came back to my beloved computer and my internet was still gone. So I tried my evil dial-up connection, but my phone service was gone too. So I give up completely and go away for a bit. And when I come back it’s there again. I am very mad at it.

I pound my comp. Or the airport express that must be plugged in because somebody somewhere’s being evil. Kicking the airport helps. Pounding the comp doesn’t but it gives emotional satisfaction. Sometimes i hurt my hand when i do that. That distracts me quite nicely. Sometimes by the time i get done with my pained look the comp’s working again and that makes me happy again.
Ugly people of the world unite!
Em u have dial up? meh i feels sry for you. we had that before and tis evilness. now we gots comcast yay.
i ♥ to say feng shui. Actually it’s just the shui part that rocks. Shui shui shui shui!!!!

Ishmael and Sphinx are both lying. They have PCs. ANyone her play WoW? I’m just wondering, as I don’t myself and don’t really care for hack-and-slash player-against-player games.
I have a gamecube and a gameboy color. I just beat The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask today!!! YAY! But the part where you’re in the moon is soooo weird. The creepy kids ask you these philosophical questions like: “If you do the right thing, does it make everyboday happy?” and then don’t wait for your answer! Video games are so awsome. I’m an RPG (the video game kind) geek.
What does WoW stand for?
Aww, I wish I was nerdy enouugh to build a computer. It’s this darn school business that is taking me away from my true calling!
I’ve heard that WoW is really awesome, but I’m sticking to my texty RPGs, thanks.
I built a computer once!
Whoaaaaa…. cool, Pal.
That was before I never touched a computer in my life.
as much as i would LOVE to spend half an hour getting set up to play space invaders, my patience with these things is if not zero, then pretty darn close. I can definitely say the computer would end up on the other side of the room in ten minutes. If i could lift it that is…
I like text RPGs. more options. More chance of mary sues too, but that’s a risk i’ll take.
what is WoW?
Oh and is Not Robert Coontz Ishmael?
world of warcraft
I like my text RPGs… writing is fuuuun.
I keep meaning to re-download Mario and Tetris to my calculator.. I was playing them one day and the screen went blank and when it came back they were deleted.. And they were my two best games, too..
But I can sort of program on my calculator.
And I figured out what was wrong (or my brother told me, same thing)- I should have had the “-w” on the line before that or put “use warnings;”
All I can do on my computer is play solitaire, minesweeper, and pinball, and get on the internet. Once I am on, all I do is go to a site where I have my e-mail, come to MuseBlog, go to Xanga, go to a political columnist’s site and read her articles, go to a band’s site and get on their boards, go to two sites that have movie and/or music reviews, and go to a site for the speech and debate league I’m in. Even with these very limited ways to spend my time on the computer, I somehow manage to waste the entire day on here regularly.
i feel your pain MontgomeryGerl….
No point building a computer nowadays. It’s all too easy. Just plug everything in and let Windows XP sort it all out. Back in the good old days, you had to solder sockets for the chips onto the mother board. Likewise legions of resistors, capacitors, the odd inductor, and a few unspecified components. And make sure you didn’t end up with dry joints. Then you built the case. No, there was no design for the case. You just got some plywood and invented it. Ah, happy days……
Yesh, but still, you know, the Vindose Expey is veddy veddy limited. Mine still is feeble.
hey peoples, my dad is president of a comp co. imacs are cool. i have ne’er met an imac that freezes. i get an ipod nano soon *yayness*
ive never touched a gaming console in my life.
It seems like there’s a lot of people here who don’t do much touching.
lilbro -really? i have my own for one
ive never touched a giant fire-breathing dragon.
Ugh. Ugh.
EVERYBODY has an iPod. Except for me. I would like an alternative one you can put wmas in. I am too lazy to manually convert the 500 songs in my computer.
Isn’t Dark Lord of Darkness redundant? Couldn’t you be Lord of Darkness? Or Especially Dark Lord of Darkness?
ive never touched an ipod. well i did once, when we were building our om set we were listening to stuff on this girls ipod. but thats it
maybe it’s the redundancy of it that appeals to him/her/it. what are you anyway?
i have a shuffle. But i had to buy it myself.
harriet got a nano for christmas. and i’m gonna loan her the spamalot cd and then we’re gonna memorize all the songs and TAKE OVER THE WORLD WITH SPAMALOT!!!!!!!!!!! yesss. me ♥ spamalot.
lilbro777? how many imacs have you met? Cuz i’ve never met one that didn’t freeze…
iPods aren’t all that great, IMHO. iTunes is just as good and you can’t lose it.
Reply to number 3. yes I play warcraft
The trouble with iPods is that they lock you into a proprietary technology. Like Microsoft, but with less justification and more evil intent. There are plenty of generic mp3 players on the market which are half the price of an iPod, and into which you can stuff pretty much anything. Including a shopping list, although you’d be hard pushed to get audio out of that. I use my cheapo no-name version for interviewing archaeologists.
I’m going to get a cheapo no-name version. How I do not know, but anyway, that’s just a small detail and I really don’t have to plan it all that much.
I’m really depressed right now. Today the kids (monkeys?) were playing Zap, that game where you write a time on the back of your friends’ hand, and a name on the palm, and if you look at your palm before the time you have to ask that person out. They were deciding what to write on one guy’s hand, someone suggested my luminous self, and everyone immediately went “No-she’s way ugly!” I couldn’t resist turning around, saying “I love you too!” and throwing a dictionary at him. It was a moment that gave a zark of a boost to my self-esteem.
Yeah, I’m ugly too. It’s useful, actually. It saves having to talk to brainless preening people. It leaves more time for listening to one’s non-iPod.
didn’t you use to have a link to your website in your name?
Eh, my friend got a Nano for Christmas. My parents asked me if I wanted an ipod, but I don’t- I never go anywhere that I need more music than I can put in my cd case and I don’t end up listening to half of it anyway… maybe when I go to college and can’t take all my cds with me, but until then, I don’t really see that much of a point..
iPods are much cuter than generic mp3 players, though…
Gawd, this is the kind of thing my friend would go for.
Alright, I have a virus/hacking question, so bear with my inept type.
One of my RPGs is having a strange problem- we’ve had a guest that literally sits there for hours on end, doing who knows what. This isn’t a just a passing visitor- for the past three days, they(We call him/her Pat) has been menacingly…anonymous.
Not only that, but today three members got the same virus while on the site- Bloodhound something or other. Very freaky.
Does anyone have some input here?
dudes! peoples! wot is with the question marx?
�|�
What question marx?
dude, your post loox like this:
63. Robert Coontz (Administrator) �|� January 8th, 2006 at 10:01 pm
notice the question marks?
There are �|� popping up next to the names, right before the date.
I don’t see any question marks. On my browser (Safari), I just see vertical bars (|) where they are supposed to be. I’ve changed the blog code to leave URLs out of the comment forms, so maybe some browsers substitute question marks for the missing information. If it’s distracting, I’ll change the code back.
actually, the little line thingy is supposed to be there, divideing our names from the date, but not the qms on either side of it.
i have safari too. maybe its just being weird. it is kind of distracting (not to mention ugly) imagine if everybody put a bunch of smilies all over their posts, except not as cool looking. maybe you should wait till tomorrow to change it and get more people’s opinion.
OK, now I see them with Netscape. Odd. Don’t know what to do about them. They are a little annoying.
maybe there’s a neater way to get rid of the urls, without the browsers thinking they are missing something. probably not, though.
Oooo, ’twas the short-lived absence of the url section. Those of us who witnessed it will always remember its strangeness. By the way, the question marks are still there.
URLs are back, and the question marks have stayed.
I replaced the code, but the question marks didn’t go away. Oh, well, let’s live with them for another day while I try to figure out the problem. If I can’t, I’ll just reinstall that particular WordPress file.
Fine with me. I deny posting on the museblog every five minutes,in late hours of the night to escape my boring life and my homework, and will therefore be only mildly affected.
yesh. where is aeiou when we need her?
OHMIGOD!!! OHMIGOD!!! MY INTERNET IS BACK!!!!! OH WONDERFUL INTERNET, WHY DID YOU EVER LEAVE ME????!!!!
So about an hour after I got home from school I went on the computer and discovered that my internet was off drinking and playing poker with its friends. I figured it would come home when it was broke, so I let it sit for awhile. Instead I cleared off a space in the middle of my room and unshelved all my books. Then I sat in the middle of them and meditated a bit, and then I put them all back in random order. This was a mistake, because it totally screwed up my feng shui, but it was fun. So then I came back to my beloved computer and my internet was still gone. So I tried my evil dial-up connection, but my phone service was gone too. So I give up completely and go away for a bit. And when I come back it’s there again. I am very mad at it.
I pound my comp. Or the airport express that must be plugged in because somebody somewhere’s being evil. Kicking the airport helps. Pounding the comp doesn’t but it gives emotional satisfaction. Sometimes i hurt my hand when i do that. That distracts me quite nicely. Sometimes by the time i get done with my pained look the comp’s working again and that makes me happy again.
Ugly people of the world unite!
Em u have dial up? meh i feels sry for you. we had that before and tis evilness. now we gots comcast yay.
i ♥ to say feng shui. Actually it’s just the shui part that rocks. Shui shui shui shui!!!!

Oh yes and i need a copy of the declaration of independence to translate into dwarvish during Boring Moments *coughhistorycough* Yeah i was bored one day. But i don’t know the whole thing. So i gots to print a copy (a readable copy that is, not the one hanging on my wall) yay here’s spamalot. in any great adventure/if you don’t want to lose/victory depends upon the people that you choose/so listen arthur darling/closely to this news/we won’t succeed on broadway if we don’t have any jews! no idea where they come up with this stuff…nobody will go sir/if it’s not kosher than no show sir…you may have dramatic lighting/or lots of horrid fighting. ok i’m gonna stop w/the random song lyrics now (musebloggers: HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone here use Linux, and if so which versions.
has anyone heard of the programing language C#
92- I used to. Then I got a mac.
93 – I’ve heard of C and C++ but not of C#..
code is beyond me but my uncle(who i am babysitting for right now) works for Vasco security systems. he’s very geekish and yes i have built my own computer. i love computer hardware and am very good working w/ it but software is a foreign language.
code not beyond you 95.
why than you! 96!
