I've been playing sports out the ass.

I've also cussed my ass off 'cquse I'm a motherfucka who don't give a shit. :P

I'm now in France for a few weeks.

Oh-you're the one who posted the comment with about 5 different curses on the first page. >:(

I am trying to install A/UX on my Macintosh IIsi. I got a 2GB SCSI harddrive for all of $7. It sounds like an airplane. I took it home and tried to partition it correctly. Apple's partition manager thingie wrote the partition map off the edge of the disk, so now the only way to fix it is to open it up and manually place the heads back on the platters, close it up, and hope that it works. Or I could splurge and spend another $7 to get a new one.

Why wasn't there something to prevent the heads from going off the disk? Even a simple rubber stopper would do.

(I also spent $2.50 for a 4x cdrom drive, external SCSI, oh yeah!)

I've got some extra cash from working all summer, so I'm going to get a couple of cheap SCSI drives and maybe do a RAID 0 array.

hope you got a cleanroom for opening that hard disk.

and the right equipment. There is a vacume in the HDD, and when you open it the HDD basically becomes scrap. One of ours went bad and I opened it up. My brother now has a Neodymion (sp) magnet a third the size of his hand. Man I'm jealous

Neodymium

No periodic table around...I just finished Chemistry so I have no use for one, so it decided to say hello to deleteville

BTW they are my most favorite type of magnet. Those suckers are strong too.
I've been programming, laying around the house, and taking two classes at college during their summer session.

Dang. I've got a Mac LC III sitting around.

This poll is poorly made. I mean on many of them more than 1 option is possible. I mean I've worked, played video games, and computer games(other) this should have been a multi-option poll.

It is just a general interest bit of fun. It isn't really here for the stats - more here to let people talk about what they are doing this summer.

Re: your website.
it has been tested under IE.XX,
you may want to download lynx, mozilla and opera if you want to make sure your site works with everyone. Incidently - it seems to work fine under moz, so no worries there.

_most_ of your summer

Travelling to a foreign country. Just got back. France in nice, the people are friendly. A couple, even when they found out I was American, tried to speak English to me to be nice. Sorry, but I'm tired of the bullshit (sorry, I normally don't cuss in ticalc.org forums) anti-French movement. However, let's not discuss that right now, it's just going to go off-topic and nobody's opinion will be changed.

The thing I hated the most about France was the keyboards. Now, I have trouble typing on "normal" keyboards.

I'm good now. However, with everyting in my time zone to give you a good reference of my travel schedule back, here's what it did:
Got to sleep at 9:30pm Thursday night (5:30 am Friday morning in France).
Woke up at midnight, 2 1/2 hours later (8:00 am France).
Plane left Paris at 7:00 am (3:00 pm France).
Plane arrived NYC at 2:30 pm. Got only a couple hours of sleep on the plane (4:30 NYC, 10:30 pm Paris).
Plane left NYC at 7:00 pm (9:00 pm NYC, 3:00 am Paris).
Plane arrived Denver 10:30 pm. Slept only a couple of hours (6:30 am Paris).
Rode for a couple hours in a car, till 1:00 am (9:00 am Paris).
Then, I drove for another 5 hours overnight, got back home at 6:00 am (2:00 pm Paris). Then, I stayed up the rest of the day and went to bed at 9:00 pm (5:00 am Paris), and slept 12 hours. Let me tell you, that's the longest I've ever slept. It was good.

I agree with you completely about how stupid the anti-french thing is.

I am anti-French.
But for a completely different reason.
The buggers burnt our live stock when it went over.
And, frequently wouldn't give the drivers the chance to get out of the cabs before they became toast too.

And, their government supported this action.

I'm back, miss me? Well I've been programming Dark Basic, modeling 3D models, and composing music for a sequel to DBGT (I'm not team leader, so I know almost nothing about it, and it isnt for the calcs.) Thats basically what I've been doing during my summer, and during my leave of absence. I've also tried to start programming C++ with the allegro libraries. It is a pain in the butt.

I wondered where you went.

I'm probably going to be gone again soon, unless I get inspiration to do a Ticalc program.

I think your computer has a virus on it. I just got an e-mail from you labled "PDT 2003" that was 145KB except there was nothing in it.

Yeah, thanks for the e-mail about that. I'm glad it's not me, though. Norton Antivirus 2003 does a good job.

Anyway, I've been getting those from so many ticalc people that's is REALLY weird. That's why I suspected the mailing lists.

Okay, ignore all the grammatical errors in my post above. I cannot type well today.

I didn't miss you one bit. =p

Inconsiderate miscreant. Do you ever say things nicely or do you love getting on peoples nerves, even when your joking?
