Well today I officially joined the Michigan National Guard. While it was a very long day, I am glad it is over. I went to bed last night at 1:00 AM but had to get up at 3:45 AM to eat breakfest and head over to MEPS (processing crap/physical) . I spent most of my day there. I got home today at about 4:00. The car rides their were great. My recruiter and his assistant are funny as hell especially when together.
Thats just about the most of my day.
:National Guard
-------------------------------------
Well, my physical for the National Guard was supposed to be for last Thursday but got pushed forward to this Thursday. My biggest problem is being underweight. Currently I am 1 pound over the minimum, but my weight is constantly changing. So I am hoping that I can make it through that part. Anyways I get to stay in a hotel Wednesday night but will be away from my pc/internet :( .. Bummer.
:MySpace's $30 Mil law suit
-------------------------------------
So some 14 year old girl decided "oh i will go meet this guy I met on myspace.com". Well this guy wasn't so nice and ended up raping her. Even with my pure hatred for myspace, they should not get sued for this. How f*ing stupid do you have to be to go meet someone you met on the internet. Both her, and her parents need to be poked in the eyes several times for this. I mean damn, use common sense once in a blue moon.
:Bill Gates to be out of day to day operations of M$ in 2 years
-------------------------------------
Yep, bummer to see ya move on. While I prefer Linux of Windows, I still like alot of Microsoft's software. Programs like Visual Studio, Microsoft Flight Simulators etc. Glad to see that he will be focusing on his foundation with his wife. What a very nice guy.
:Digg v3 coming soon
-------------------------------------
I cannot wait for this. Saturday when the new diggnation podcast is released Kevin Rose will share with us some of the features of the up coming digg.com version 3. I saw the leaked images, though they looked similar to the current I have full faith this will be some awesome stuff.
:Billing System
-------------------------------------
Well I am re-coding some parts, to make them more workable, more AJAX (yeah baby!!!), more input security as well as url based security. I am no longer using Smarty template engine as I realized its a piece of crap when you need to do runtime template switching. So I will be changing that out with this new current one I like and modded. Also will change smarty out from hitmyserver.com.
What is a "asvab". It's the test you take to get into the U.S. Military. So I took mine today as I am joining the National Guard to pay for college. The test covers all sorts of things ranging from math(a whole lot w00t), science, electrical, wood working and other stuff. So when I was there, there were 7 others taking the test ranging from us young people to a few older guys. I was told I got the highest score outta the 8 total. I received 83% on the test, which qualifies me to do pretty much anything including being a doctor(screw that). When I left the testing center, the recruiter told me that the other people where getting like 12%-30%. Damn, how dumb do you gotta be to only get that. I mean seriously, math being most of the test the hardest problem was like
"2x^5 + 3y - 2x x=4 y=3 what does that equal"
So Friday I gotta go to Lansing get a physical and crap. The biggest worry is that I might be a bit underweight. So guess its McDonald's the rest of the week to gain some weight. Seeing as when I am on a fat day I weight 130lbs :( ... Fat food here I come.
Well I was gone all weekend out of state. I saw the oddest thing, at least in my mind. A drive through donut shop. Oh of course we stopped and got some (through the drive through, no need to go inside) and might I saw they were excellent. I was out of town at a graduation party and the weather was quite nice most of the time. I saw what was like a funnel cloud but not quite one. I took a picture but not on my camera so I don't have it :( Over these three days, I luckily only managed to get a sunburn on my face and right forearm. Hopefully tomorrow everything will be back together.
Well, I typically not a type of person to bug people or be mischievous but today, I decided to use my software voice changer. Its a pretty neat little software gizmo.
Anyways, so today I called up Hewlett Packard (HP) to bug there Tech Support. Although they are pretty busy as there crap sucks, especially Desktops/Laptops, I wanted to have some fun as I won't be on my pc Friday morning till sometime Sunday. So, round one, I turned on the voice changer and did the Darth Vader thing. "I am your father" Round two, was a dare, doing the customer who's computer won't work, and it turns out the power is out. This guy (different from the first), didn't know really what to say at 2 points. He was silent to a point where I asked if he was still there. Anyways if you care to here them, here they are
Call 1 (2.4 MB)
Call 2 (10 MB)
Sorry for the slow download, due to its a server here at my house, as I don't feel like uploading them to one of my sites
