BOOLEAN OPERATORS MUST DIE.

It's 1 am and I'm trying to use logic/math. I'm no longer in college, this shouldn't be happening. I'm clearly a nerd- my way to 'decompress' from this is a relaxing game of solitare.

Wow, it's been like eight years since I last encountered the word boolean . I just had a flashback to my programming classes in college (I was a math major, so the logic behind it wasn't a problem), but this is making me feel suddenly old...

BEYONCE officially sells 618,000 copies in the US alone after 3 days on iTunes. It took Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga 4 weeks of digital and physical copies to reach that many sales in the US. She's also broken the record for most countries at #1 consecutively (112), the record for most iTunes sales in a week (though hers was only 3 days) Worldwide, and is expected to have sold 1,000,000 copies of the album before it's ever put on shelves.

Well organic happened. I don't even have time to wallow in self pity because my calc final is tonight at 8:30 and I have psychology tomorrow morning at 8.

All this programming talk kinda makes me miss my computer science classes in high school, well at least the first one. The second one was mainly making games which didn't interest me, but my splash screens turned out really cute hah

I wish I had had the opportunity to make actual games in computer science class . I had to make a program that gave the date of the day following whichever date the user typed in... (example : February 16th 2065 -> February 17th 2065). It's actually quite long to do (with all the if-then-else you have to put in the right order) AND it's useless... This was even a college class

It's only useless if your language doesn't have a built in date object that does all that stuff. I've thought about how tricky that would be to have to manage myself. Even just getting the last day of the month could be tricky.

Standing in a forever long line for ke$ha tickets cause somehow our school manage to get her to come to our campus *goes insane, throws some glitter, makes it rain*

I saw her at Quinnipiac in CT. Be prepared for a horrible opening act and Ke$ha to be a hot butt mess! It was still a blast.

For the first class we did we had to make a game using if-then-else and stuff, I can remember the program we used. Mine sucked, it was a maze. I had no idea what to do for it. And my class was made up of all guys and then me so they were like super gamers and theirs were pretty creative, but the lacked looks (both the guys an their projects LOL)

The thing is, it was the only point of the program, with no plan whatsoever to make use of it in another program... I guess the point was to have us actually understand all the if-then-else possibilities and how you had to be careful about the order you put them in. You were supposed to type a date in, and the program showed the date of the next day (which you already know since you typed the first date yourself...). Had it been part of an actual calendar program or something like that, I might have liked it !
We had to do it all by "hand", so we had to handle all the exceptions (like February 28th from a 4-multiple year, February 29th all other years, December 31st, all the 30th/31st depending on the month ect), and increment day/month/year accordingly. Not even that hard, just very long, and we never ever got to use it again...

Haha, yes, I loooooved taking forever to check and recheck code, to realize I only forgot one ")". Some program checking systems try to tell you where your typos could be, but they were always off by at least 10 lines (though I haven't programmed anything in a while, so things may have improved).

I would need to be very chocolate wasted to enjoy myself at a Ke$ha concert
