Bought a new router finally no more NAT problems, im still as stupid as stupid does so now the nieborhood is enjoying my unprotected, 300+ mps 2.4ghtz signal that im boosting with a repeater.

got a little drunk today, off of one QT. of Natural ice, second drink ive had sence i quit drinking on fathersday.

Feeling really good, now to do something amazing, like make my scenery really spawn a bloc for collision, thru effects.

@Click -- Nice work on the program Click! Keep it up!

@Jackson -- That is really cool you'll be getting work Jackson! I hope it goes well! I know a lot of people are out of work getting upgraded to full time is a good deal. I hope it works out!

I just got new brake pads for my bike. It hasn't had new brakes since the 70's. It's a first series Schwinn Le Tour!

[Ogrish]

Thats a nice bike, i have a 1973 rally redline, 12 speed, i ride once in a while.

Its old but but light, and the balace is perfect so i ride with no hands back and forth to the liquer store, with no problem,
even if im stinking drunk! (which i don't get anymore)

[DoorM4n]

haha, be careful riding drunk! I guess you don't drink anymore so noo neeed to worry!

My micro-controller programmer and other shit arrived a week ago and began learning how to program them in Assembly.

We also get the green light on another house which is about 2x as large which we began moving into literally 30 minutes later. We are almost done moving our shit into the next house.

I only got maybe 3 lessons into the programming before we started moving our stuff.

Been tempted to get one for a while, but never sure what kind to go with. What model did you get? Let me know if you like it once you get into it more.

I'd highly recommend an Arduino microcontroller if you want to make fun things with a minimum of hassle. It runs on a subset of C, I think. So much easier than assembly, and it has a built-in USB port. It also has many tutorials and "shields" you can get for it that are made for specific purposes. But if you want to learn assembly on a microcontroller, I'm not sure which one to go with.

If learning assembly is the goal, another good way to learn it is to hack old Nintendo Entertainment System ROMs. There are sophisticated decompilers and debuggers available.

[Grimdoomer]

You may just be using a really crappy compiler, most microcontrollers support C now.

[DemonicSandwich]

I got the PICKit 2 and only got a few baseline uC's to use but I can move up to C based uC's.

Assembly is not a problem. I started programming PICs in college, but then I fell on my head and forgot alot Never got into microcontrollers though, so would like opinions on easy to work with setups.

Been there, done that. Never finished it, but added quite a few features:

It would play 1942 at least

I really like my perl/web programming class Hopefully I can get an internship this spring programming. I just got sent a link for one that will be using java for desktop programming(eh) and perl and ajax for web development

[Click16]

Saw Saw 3D, and Jackass 3D. Not in 3d, but still good movies. But some shit in jackass was a bit more disturbing than in saw 3d...

hahahaha, jackass seems funny but too ridiculous for me man

[JacksonCougar]

Finally bought a new keyboard...

[OwnZ joO]

I need a new mouse, I always break the scroller on them. I broke it like 2 months after I got it... Now I just click in the mouse and drag to scroll, but it'd be nice to have scrolling back.

On a happy note I have a free day and think I'm gonna reinstall OS's on my computer and laptop.

[DemonicSandwich]

I use the scroll-wheel clicker more often that the actual left click button since it can open/close tabs.

[DemonicSandwich]

This made my day.

Haha, awesome Demonic.
