Why thorw darts when you can write a program???

2009-03-25T17:42:00.001-07:00

Ok so most people will throw darts at a board, spin a spinner, flip a coin, or some other activity in order to achieve randomness.
I on the other hand, with time on my hands and mound of projects slowly but surly growing higher decided to make a program to tell me what I should do today, and since my program told me to blog,I am blogging. :D

The Result:

//The Program:(c++)
//Author - Richard
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
srand( atoi(argv[1]) );
int x = rand() % 5; //mod # of choices

switch (x)
{
case 0: cout << "You choose to work on StoopidGenious.com\n";
break;
case 1: cout << "You choose to work on Bestraddled: The Web Comic\n";
break;
case 2: cout << "You choose to take and edit pictures \n";
break;
case 3: cout << "You choose to draw something\n";
break;
case 4: cout << "You Choose to Blog something\n";
break;
default: cout << "You choose to do nothing today\n";
break;

}//switch

}//main

So not much has been going on. As far as newness that is.
Supposedly AT&T updated their computer system at the retail store and for some reason they changed my phone number instead of my sisters and that is un-reversible process so my number has been changed, which irks me.

I've processed more images and started work on more of my personal projects, my website is at a stand still because i don't really have any content to be adding to it on a regular basis nor any over all theme, but the graphics do still need work, and i am working on that. Still slowly learning php.
Programming has been fun, don't do much serious work yet, right now just learning data structures and algorithms and such and the big-oh times, lots of fun. But what sucks is that my current professor writes programs and we are tested against his running time, and right now i am .1 seconds away from matching him but for all intents and purposes maxed out and I have no idea how to make it faster but I was able to cut my time in half today...twice, so a quarter from the original running time of my program, so I have realized improvements most of which are adding if statements to ensure that my program doesn't do more work that it has to, so I'm proud of that, my program is a mini incredibly simple version of me. Be prepared for the absolute worst but try to skim by while doing your best when you need to.

Found out that my managers don't like me too much so that kinda sucks, but my fellow supervisors and employees think I do just fine, so there must be something off about they way i treat them or the way they perceive my treatment of them.
For lack of a better word, I am what you can call fiesty, so when told to do something contrary to what I am doing at present I usually offer a retort of some aspect to be a smart alek, or as I like to say, to be a bit of a bastard. This is not meant to be disrespect it is just the way I am, I have no problem changing my ways, or even admitting that I am wrong. I just, for some odd reason, enjoy pushing people, in various different ways but never seriously, but sometimes literally. I don't like to be controlled so when it comes down to it I enjoy going against the flow just to spite people and go against their expected results, this is pleasing first by their reaction to my bastardness and and secondly that now they have more experience in dealing with unpredictable outcomes.

Of course, this character trait/flaw has a time and a place to be instated and to be refrained from. Personally I enjoy my self and those who will push back per se and they are those who I am closest with, but apparently not every one enjoys the same things as me and just like people doing what they are told and following the crowd blindly, so in order to succeed at certain goals I must be aware of my situations and others perceptions of me so that I can respect the image that others have of me as well as my own self-image.

But if you ever have me in a crowd going the same direction for a certain cause, I'll be the one walking backward listening to my ipod probably dancing around a bit, and if we ever go through a series of questions or an interview, you can bet that I wont waste time asking what is it you do for a living or what is your current college major, but focusing on the finer points in life, like

Stoner food?

2008-12-15T21:56:00.000-08:00

I have recently came across something rather wonderful DIY food from a Fast-food-joint
that I learned of from my cousin's stoner friends

Behold the taco chicken sandwich!

It is composed of:
1 $1.00 chicken sandwich from Jack-in-the-Box
1 of the set of 2 tacos for $1.00 from Jack-in-the-Box
and a bit of ranch

Yes a taco

try it out, its really quite cool

I have decided on a name for my strip, Bestraddled, a bastardization of the word bestride, which can mean to step over, or to sit/stand with something between your legs, needless to say, I find it ammusing

The Flat 081206 … And AC/DC

2008-12-06T23:40:00.001-08:00

OK, so I just recently went to an AC/DC concert a little less than a week ago and I just got everything up and edited, you know, made a video posted pics, all that fun stuff.

It was AWESOME, like the best by far, but of course I only have like….3 other concerts to reference, I still liked it.

I went with my cousins, as you may have seen and it was epic, had fun stayed out late ate Taco Bell, head banged made the rockfist, ears bled, and all the other wonderful things.

There’s really not much else to add, just that if you haven’t yet, go get AC/DC’s discography and listen to it. They are classic and timeless, even their latest album, Black Ice, has the same sound as Back in Black and Highway to Hell. So go do it….now!
