What Is A Good Footer?
We are all on some kind of forum, posting this, reading that. Everyone has a footer. What’s a good footer though? After the recent upgrade of my computer, I found that Flash footers that use an infinite loop to make particles make my CPU fan spin like hell. I just made a simple and nice text footer for kirupaForum. Yes, it was inspired by Ahem’s footer. I like his better though — original.
My current footer is less than 500 characters, the restricted limit for all footers on the forums. There are no images, no tables, and no external scripts to load. Wouldn’t it be a better world if everyone had such clean and nice footers?
So convert your footers to text-based ones! If you can have a new footer everyday, then yes it might be amusing to look at some new ones. Otherwise, be considerate of my computer fan!
If Your Heart Hasn’t Been Touched Lately..
This Incredible Chain Letter almost made me cry. It’s not just another one of those garbage ones.

I Hate Music On Computer Now
For the past three years or so, whenever I’m using the computer, iTunes has been open, fully loaded with songs, played one after another. I have two normal sized speakers for the desktop, placed on the either side of the monitor. Lately, I’ve been sensing that listening to music on the computer is everything but good.
* It distracts me from doing other things. I always actually listen to the words, the chorus, the beat. That’s just not productive.
* Listening to it all the time (sometimes concentrating on other things or what not) makes music seem so unimportant. And it stays within me. I don’t feel like listening to the radio in the car or anything anymore. The value of music is decreasing.
* My mom yells at me for having loud music on.
* It could potentially damage my ears.
Maybe it’s just me, or does listening to music seem like something to do when you have nothing else to do? You are just supposed to lie down or just sit with your headphones on, appreciating the true meaning of it all.
That’s why I had my earbuds in my ears the whole time doing this today — A Flash Presentation on the Polish Independence Movement (Click it, and press Spacebar to proceed; press the Left arrow key to move back). Three hours had better get me an A for this.
I Don’t Know Who To Blame For This
Apparently, I have to go to some “Ivy Busters” thing at some park tomorrow, as part of school. My current stats:
* Grade 12
* Last week of school
* Busy busy, exams
* Busy busy, homework
* Provincial exams in two weeks
But oh wait, we haven’t even finished the chemistry curriculum yet. 4 out of 5 chapters finished — the fifth one not even started yet. History curriculum not finished yet — 2 more units out of 6 left. Literature curriculum not finished yet — 5 more poems to go. And that’s not including any chapter / final exams yet. Funny, I thought schools are supposed to be organized.
But tomorrow, we have to spend about 5 hours trying to cut off little buds off of plants, as part of school. I guess that can count as part of biology, which still have 3 more units until it’s finished. But what about the other subjects? Can we finish them? No. For history, we are going to do presentations, instead of actually learning the material.
I guess I shouldn’t blame the person who organized this for us. I mean, she doesn’t even teach anything, so she wouldn’t know how tight this week is. I would just not go to school, but then they’ll make a big fuss about it and call my parents, have a meeting, and waste more time. But hey, that’s all part of a coordinator’s job isn’t it? For the sake of keeping certain individual’s job, I should just skip school tomorrow.
Come to think of it, two fifths of this school year has been wasted. All Tuesdays and Fridays are spent on CAPP and other useless crap. Thank goodness I’m getting my ass out of this place. University will make me wish I was born there.
The Stupid Things People Do
I’m wondering how many people have IQ’s below -2.5 out there. Maybe it’s just me, or are some of the smartest people out there missing a piece of the right brain?
I’m on Windows, and tried to open a DMG file. It’s Macintosh OS X Disk Copy Disk Image File. I want to get some files from inside, so okay, I need a dmg decompiler. I googled for a long time (with many results of people asking “DMG2ISO??!!?!11″ on forums), and found one with a small program that does exactly what I want. I felt like partying because all that time searching for this wasn’t wasted. But then.
It came in a zip format. This is logical, as only a Windows user would want to open a dmg file with another program because it’s not naturally supported by the system. I opened it. This file was lying inside.
Open-DMG-on-Windows.sit
I starred at that for a couple of minutes pondering what I should open that with. I then realized that I can’t because a .sit file is the compressed file format on a Mac. Seriously. How the hell is this any way helpful, smart, and not retarded? I hope all the stupid go to hell one day and make Satan hate them so he’ll make God take them and then God will finally realize how stupid people can be so finally he’ll stop making stupid people.
Juicy Fruit Ipod Shuffle
People think of the weirdest things.

There’s more than one juicy fruit in that photo…
Oh burn!
Grad Ceremony Is Just An Excuse
My grad ceremony is coming up in two weeks. Last year I watched as each grad strode up the stage and received the rolled up award. This year, it won’t be me who will be watching. I’ll be up there doing my thing — listening and pretending to perceive the profound compliments the teacher will be reading out loud for me. Besides all the work I have to do at the end of the year, I see a couple of things.. wrong, or at least not so natural. It’s just another excuse for all the things that I see inexcusable.
Too big of a deal
Maybe it’s just me, but why is everyone thinking that if it was their last moment in life, it had to be grad? It’s just an end for a studying experience in a horrible building. I’m going to go walk in there, take my awards, smile, and leave. Is that going to be so crucial to what I’ll be doing in twenty years? I doubt it.
Dresses
All the girls are going to dress up. I will too, but in nothing more than just a suit. But picking out a dress and pondering over the decision of a $500 dress or a $750 dress seem to be a central part of this grad thing for girls. Dresses are more important than the actual grad. Who needs to graduate when you don’t have a dress to wear? But then again, it’s pretty common.
Okay that was only two things. I’m looking forward to it though. Grad ceremony, followed by a $100 buffet dinner, enclosed by an all night party with just the grads.
