CSE380

chenstopher — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:33:45 +0000

If anyone is interested, I put up a project page for the game programming course I’m taking (CSE380). For my individual project, I’m making a game called “I WOKE UP LATE AND NOW I HAVE TO ROCKET JUMP PASS ZOMBIES TO GET TO CLASS” or IWULANIHTRJPZTGTC for short or ZOMBIES for shorter. There hasn’t been much progress but I’m working on it.

Here it is: http://chenstopher.com/cse380

DVORAK

chenstopher — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:54:55 +0000

Last time I tried to learn dvorak, it was a complete failure. I was typing way too slow and I had work to complete so I just gave up on it. I’ve decided to try and learn it again mainly because I was completely bored out of my mind but also cause I’ve been starting to feel some pain in my fingers. Dvorak is supposed to be “healthier” for your fingers or something cause you don’t have to move your fingers as much.

I already had my desktop keyboard switched to dvorak. I wanted to seriously learn it this time so I even converted my Macbook’s keys to dvorak. Wasn’t too hard. Just popped them off with a tiny screw driver and put them back in the correct order. Now people who want to use my computer won’t be able to because all the keys are in the wrong places. Awesome!

I’ve been playing typeracer everyday since I’ve switched over to speed up my typing. Right now I’m typing at around 40 wpm (vs 80wpm when I was using qwerty) which isn’t too bad considering I’ve only been using dvorak for four days. But I feel like a noob cause I have to keep looking at the keys. The most annoying thing about dvorak is that all the shortcut keys are now on the other side of the keyboard. Ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-s, ctrl-z are all on the right side. Also I keep typing “ass” when I want to type “all” because the ’s’ is now where the ‘l’ used to be. Kind of annoying

That’s all for now. Off to play some more typeracer. I’ll revisit this when my typing speed reaches 100+ wpm.

New Year 2010

Well this sucks.

I was tired so I went to take a nap at around 9:30 or so with my alarm set to 11 hoping I’d wake up in time for the New Year countdown.

Didn’t happen.

Ended up waking up at 12:01 (yes, exactly 12:01), saying “fuck”, and going back to sleep.

I think I’m gonna go watch some Stargate SG-1.

Graey

We should just combine “grey” and “gray” into one word: “graey”.

CRAP. This would just confuse us more wouldn’t it?

Grey, gray, graey, greay!

I was watching VH1’s Top 40 Most Softsational Soft-Rock Songs the other day and came across this song again. I just want to say that this is the greatest song in the universe and Michael Bolton has the most intense voice in the universe.

Babolat AeroPro Drive

chenstopher — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 05:53:21 +0000

I’ve been playing a bunch of tennis these past few months using some Volkl DNX 9 racquets that my dad bought. They’re fine but the handle was too small for me and I thought it’d be cool to try out a new racquet so I bought one. The Babolat AeroPro Drive to be exact.

This is actually the older model of the new AeroPro Drive Cortex. Rather than paying $185 for the newer version, I settled for the older one for $125 from Tennis Warehouse and had it strung with Prince Synthetic Gut Duraflex 16 gauge. I’m kind of a noob at tennis so I did some research making sure the reviews were awesome before I bought ‘em.

It arrived earlier today (8/6/09) and went out to play with it with Georo, the same guy that is in my shitty snowboarding videos, and who also got a new racquet today. Anyway, the AeroPro Drive is nice. The larger handle is definitely better. It feels stiffer than the DNX 9’s I was using, not sure if that’s good or bad. Ok, I’ll shut up now and put some more pictures up.

I just thought it was interesting cause I’ve never been called an “amerikan cunt” nor a “cheeky bastard” before. English people are soooooo cool. Can anyone explain what the “just cos u play omgpop” and the “just cuz u dont have mn” lines mean?

ATH-AD700

I just got a new set of headphones to replace the ones I broke the other day. They’re the Audio Technica ATH-AD700’s and they are awesome. They look a little weird with the purple/pink colored metal sides but they’re light, comfortable, and sound great.

I got ‘em for $81 at Amazon. Great deal. I love buying myself presents for birthdays.
