I've got problems left, right and centre
with my computer and it's starting to piss me off.
So
Im using my computer like normal not doing anything
to demanding of the computer and get one of those "Microsoft
Error Report" messages up. As usual I press "Don't
send" because sending the message is about as
helpful as a smack in the face. So anyway, I give the
computer a restart... everything goes reasonably smoothly,
until I log in. The icons and taskbar and everything
else that typically takes only seconds to load up normally,
took me about 30 seconds before I started seeing any
sign of activity.
*Skip
Now I have parts of my system and program software
corrupted... for no real reason. I ring support to
be told that it might be something wrong with the hard
drive and that it will require me to download some
software of the Packard bell website and create some
F-Disk to check for errors on my hard drive.
So now
Im sitting here... worried, trying to work on this
ill machine and waiting for my father to arrive home
with some blank CD-R's/RW's so that I can actually
run this check disk utility.
Life has actually been
better.

A friend who happens to be a girl actually brought
this up during a conversation I had with her this morning.
It made me think and thus my need to blog it.
This is;
why girl's weir make-up... I guess you're now thinking,
what? What the hell? Obviously to make them look pretty,
duh. Well sure, but it's fake... all it does is mask
her physical facial features. That's what is does,
that's all it does (In reality). Sure we all need SOMETHING
too make us look pretty, but why? It's the same as
getting a nose job or face lift... why can't we just
be happy for who we are? We need to 'look good' or
is that just the result? We'll look hot/gorgeous if
we hide behind make-up.
I've seen three
totally different girls who I know who don't weir make-up
and to tell you the truth I didn't even notice. They
all look pretty anyway, they don't need it.
It's kind of a shame, especially as some
girls put way too much on... it then becomes a joke.
Her real face is only natural however beautiful/ugly
she may think.
Putting make-up on has the same principles of
drinking to the point of getting tipsy. We do it because...
we want to do things we wouldn't normally do. This
can mean a whole load of things. For some people, mainly
the shy, it's the perfect solution if at a party. You'd
be brining out your inner self... but even then is
that really you? Or are you just hiding behind the
alcohol? You're using the alcohol to be someone you're
not... you're putting on make-up to be, in effect,
someone you're not. Girls can look so, so different
minus the make-up.
*Edit
Im tired... it is 6:13 AM now.

--Christmas hollidays begin--
Holliday's? What a joke. I've got to do so much F'ing
school work over this Christmas break... it sucks.
I have photography which rocks but there is quite alot
of work involved. Media is nothing hard since we just
have to watch TV (Basically). DT... sucks and this
is also the annoying part. We have to do a whole load
of folder work, which no one even likes doing anyway.
I doubt Ill be relaxing... more rushed off my feet.
This is so annoying since I was planning to start some
major multimedia projects over Christmas as a chill
out and something to keep me semi-occupied.

I found this website when reading one of my friend’s
blogs. It is truly amazing. It's an online AI(Artificial
intelligence) test. I am usually rather sceptical about
these kinds of things but I thought id check it out
anyhow. Well as I said: "It's amazing".
What
you have to do:
1. Think of something, anything... a car, a water bottle,
a pair of gloves, a pot of hair gel. Well, okay,
try and not make it as general as that... think out
side of the corner.
2. Go to 20q.net
3. Enter your country, age, sex. (It's
quite routine).
4. Remember the thing you thought of.
5. Take the test, answer the questions.
I was thinking
a camera... to start off with. Then, I thought that
was too general so I decided to go for camera lens.
I then got asked less then 20 questions about it. Things
like: would you use it in every day life? Or Is it
bigger then a pound of butter? Well after a mere 12
questions it asked me if it was a camcorder... well
now, that's pretty amazing when you consider that's
what I was originally thinking. It was close but not
spot on. Close enough for me to enjoy the test, and
close enough for it to be a little scary. |

Intel have recently talked about a cooler, more powerful
chip breakthrough. The chip which has an enhancement-mode
transistor using indium antimonide (chemical symbol:
InSb) to conduct electrical current, works on a "Less
power, More performance" basis. This new amazing
development will increase performance by a good 50
percent and reduce power consumption by roughly ten
times. How awesome... is that?
When you think about
us (Society) today you think: "How
the hell can you come up with such an amazing piece
of technology?" All these modern gizmos and breakthroughs.
We want more for less, double the power for half the
size. We want the best.
Aside from all this I think
it's a bit of a shame how the human race as become
dependant on technology in our day to day lives, and
why? For the sake of convenience. That's all, think
about it... we drive down the road rather than walking,
we're constantly researching new ways to get things
done more efficiently and faster. Im going a bit off
topic here but It's true. We have two extremes. To
one extreme we have all things technologically advanced
and excelling into the future of a virtual world from
our own home and to the other extreme you have living
life the simplest way using natural resources, recycling
and being as environmentally friendly as we can. If
you were to combine the two I think the results would
be interesting.
Technology is amazing,
Ill admit that... and I wouldn't be able to live (cope)
without it. Ofcouse I really could but because I've
become so dependant on it then it'd be a great loss
to try and live a day to day life without it. I often
wonder how all the scientists develop all these smaller,
faster, more efficient machines/gadgets. It's amazing.
They're so small.

Wow, whoa! Two posts in the same day!
Well anyways
I want to tell you about two amazing photographers
I've just discovered.
The first is Dave
Nitsche... he just produces amazing photographs. He
has done some modern/arty (Conceptual)photographs and
they look fantastic.
Some links:
http://www.davenitsche.com/Nature/WaterslideFinalFrame.jpg
http://www.davenitsche.com/cataract19.htm
http://www.davenitsche.com/leopard.htm
http://www.davenitsche.com/birds.htm
http://www.davenitsche.com/painted%20lady.htm
This man is a legend. If only I could produce results
like that.
--------------
Right, the second photographer is Severin M. Koller.
He has done brilliant modern/urban photographs.
Link
I would give a more detailed analysis/explanation
on why I like their work but Im doing enough of that
for my photography course anyway.
Uhhh... I have so
much freakin homework to do this weekend. It sucks. |

Rant. We 12th graders or 6th formers (Year 13's) have
to do lunch duty. Lunch duty is where two of us get
a responsibility, two from 12:45 to 1:15 and then
another two from 1:15 two 1:35. Our task: Attempt
put some order back into the feeding frenzy that
greets every lunch time. This sucks. In stead of
having the teachers do it we have to. A friend and
I worked out that this is because the teachers CANNOT
ACTUALLY BE FUCKED. Seriously... there was no other
explanation to it and besides, why should we have
to do it?
Assistant head Mrs Parker did so much of
her complaining to our head of 6th form that we have
to do this ridiculous duty two times a week now.
What the duty consists of:
Standing at the top of the canteen making sure only
one table goes up at a time there by avoiding the
possibility of every freaking student in the lunch
hall queuing up and clogging the corridors outside.
Most of us actually have some authority so it's easy
work telling people to "Go sit back
down". For the most part everything runs fairly
smoothly, depending on what day you're on, there are
some squirts that try and sneak up thinking we don’t
notice, but we get much joy in giving them the choice
of going and sitting back down or leaving.
Never the
less... my point still stands: This is unadulterated
bullshit and we shouldn't have to give up one hour
of our lunches every week because the teachers can't
be bothered to do it.
Well anyway, It's late and I'm going to bed. |
