I got my iPod replaced...

Hello all.

I got my iPod replaced.

She is so beautiful is she not?

More pics on my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/taizocurry/

So here's the story...

I was getting off the bus with my friend to go to his house to do some HW. And just as i was getting off the bus, i opened a new album, and the iPod started clicking really loudly. It wasn't through the ear phones, but actually coming through the case of the iPod. I knew that these things actually had spinning hard drives inside them, but it never occurred to me that they would ever having the problem of crashing...
So what i did was i called the Apple store and told them what was the deal. The guy said that it probably was the iPod's HDD crashing. I went to the Apple store and found out an outright replacement of an iPod with a warranty 7 years out of date would cost me $250. Ouch.

I did however mention that the battery life had been getting shorter and shorter, and the guy told me "Oh! Then that'll only cost you $59."

Umm... OK.

Anyways, check out my flickr page, see my pics, and thanks for stopping by!

5th Period

Well. At first i have to appologize. I have not been on in at least a month.

"I'm sorry."

Well, now that the tears have finished flowing, time for the meat of the story:

"Wait, there is no meat to this story."

"Really?"

"Yeah, sorry again."

"I hate you."

"..... O.K."

I am in Spang's Marine Science class. Ugh. We are learning about wavelengths and the coriolis effect and stuff. It's kinda cool.

My friend Gabe decided to come to school today. He has been out of school for one and a half weeks.

I'm using one of the computers at the back of the lab.
Haha. Spang made a funny face.

Anyways, no picture(s) today. Sorry. I know, I'm upset with myself as well.

More soon (hopefully)

Bye bye, Taizo

Christmas Eve

Oh, this is bad...

I haven't done a post in a while,

Oh no.

There is still lots to be happy about though!

For one thing it is Christmas Eve!

For another, Christmas is tomorrow!

I want a back massage right now... ^~^;

I just made up that smiley face thing right now. I am very proud of it.

OK, what else is there to talk about?

OOH! i got a new camera from my auntie. It was my moms boyfriends camera, and my aunt just found it in her house.

It is a Nikon F3

That's funny, i almost typed in Canon F3 O.o DUH-HUR

I think that this will be the first blog post where i actually don't put a picture up :(

OK, thats enough from me.

Good night, and god bless you, every one. (I'm Agnostic ^~^;)

WHA?

apparently this is what happens when you throw a crappy cell phone onto your bed:

Anyway, I'm sorry that I am not able to do so many posts as i hoped that i would. I have had so much homework and so many projects, that i haven't been able to do much.

bye for now

LIONEL!

I was digging through my basement earlier, and i found my old Lionel train set. I set it up and i made a nice figure 8 track thingy.

I also took some cool pictures of the train. next to my camera, this is one of my favorite toys. the only bad thing is that they are so loud>:(

more pictures of it on my flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/taizocurry/

Happy Thanksgiving?

So, how was everyones Thanksgiving?

I thought so.

Mine was great, thanks for asking.

We didn't do much, but that was nice anyway. We just sat around at home and at my dads hotel. We got to go swimming in the nice pool that they have there. It was all good fun. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving parade march all around downtown.

So, look at what arrived in the mail the other day:

Any guesses as to what it is?

No?

Well, here is a hint:

That's right. It's a HUMUNGO floppy drive. A Commodore VIC-1541. It takes floppy discs that are 5 1/4 inches across. And the sad part is: that little floppy disc, the one we all remember from the '90s, actually has more capacity than the larger 5 1/4 inch ones. The big boys actually can only hold about 360K, while the normal ones that we are all familiar to can hold 1.44MB, or 1474.56K. I hope that i will be able to find some programs on floppies which i can play games or something eventually... Christmas ;)

Whatever.

See you next week or something.

Das Commodore 64

Well, there's not much to say except that THE COMMODORE 64 HAS LANDED!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!

I was having lots of fun just messing around with it and making random programs. There was this one that i made earlier today where i had to find the time it took my virtual boat to go from place to place on my marine biology project chart thing.

So to solve this problem, i wrote in this.

10 INPUT "ENTER DISTANCE: ";D

20 A = (D/4)*60

30 PRINT A;"MINUTES"

40 GOTO 10

Now while this may mean nothing to you, it tells the computer to first: ask me for the distance of the leg the boat needs to travel. to then divide that number with the fixed number of knots that my boat was going (4kts) and then multiply that with 60. After that, the next line told the computer to show me the answer on the screen. Next, it told the computer to repeat that whole process.

That was the first real useful thing i got it to do.

thats all folks!
