The Site
A long, long time ago, I had an idea - mostly one I ripped off from Vlad over at TM.com - to make a web log that actually informs about stuff. Originally, I was going to make it into a custom program written in the glorious tandem of PHP and MySQL, but I was uninspired so I just pressed the ole’ left mouse button a tad and here you have this meager Wordpress site.
I suppose using WP is fine, though you can bet several things are going to be changing. For instance, who the hell decided to put a long annoying list of subscriptions that to which I never wanted to subscribe trailing down my mediocre site. I’ll also attempt to use my…sufficient HTML skills to change a few things about this theme, but it really isn’t too bad.
Now as I said earlier, this isn’t going to be just me ranting. I truely agree with Vlad that blogging is a profane and evil term. I prefer to think of this more as a status page than a blog, and I hope that I’ll be able to be one of the selected few personal pages that isn’t a bunch of emotional stuff (ie: “I don’t have a girlfriend because I’m so incredibly ugly”, “Snickers broke my dentures”, “I threw up on my cousin at Christmas and I’m sad.” Cry me a river). For the people from VIII, you might actually be able to retrieve enough out of my treacherous mind about what I’m doing to screw up your forum today. Also, if the site’s just recovered from an error, most of the time I’ll post a full explanation of the problem and what I did to fix it, just so I can confuse you with overly technical terms (for example, instead of “bread”, it would be “yeast leavened staple composed of grains and infused with dragon blood” (dragon blood might actually be known as multi-grain…your choice)).
I will do a bit of ranting, so I can take the pressure off of my poor cousin and that perverted brat who shall remain nameless. In addition to maintaining the status quo and occasionally reviewing a movie, game or a piece of computer hardware, you’ll also get the occasional soliloquey about how English is the worst language in existence.
For anyone from HG that found their way here - I’ll try to muse about a few things, but as you know, I am obligated as a member of staff not to let you in on anything particularly confidential in our ranks, so don’t bother asking. Try to keep comments clean and with some kind of point to them. I won’t really delete them unless you truely act like an idiot, but don’t betray my trust.
I’ll be working on getting various pages on this site working and to remove stupid things.
About Me
I’m an American teenager born and living in Pennsylvania. I am a student and I intend to go into computer hardware or software - haven’t decided quite yet. For the time being, I am an avid, advanced programmer in PHP - not a script-kiddie, it’s all natural, folks
, unlike almost everyone else I know - and I can also code in HTML/CSS and JavaScript. I’m usually willing to help anyone out with any computer questions or a coding snippet. Please note, though, that I have no experience in client-side languages such as C++ or Java.
