« on: September 29, 2010, 01:12:36 pm »I found C++ For Dummies to be a poor book. They give you code and then you have to deconstruct it to tell what it's doing. It may explain what a FOR loop is, but it won't explain what the syntax does.I have an old copy of "C++ for Dummies" floating around here somewhere. That was a good intro book.Yes yes yes, the dummies books are highly recommended for stuff like this. Also, you really shouldn't try starting with c++, c# is much more user friendly from what I've seen.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

« on: September 29, 2010, 08:55:20 am »Yeah, it's been linked a few times now, but it's still great.I also have a job arranging the blocks, which descend upon me from the conveyor. I take them down, and I spin them around, trying to find the accursed SKU.
I find myself singing it at work all the time. I work for UPS, stacking boxes in trucks. Every night, I have to suppress the urge to shout "I am the man who arranges the blocks!" or "pointless work for pointless pay", and I'd love to have a t-shirt for it.
I am the man who arranges the stacks, but each night I go home to my dog in tears, "What's the point of it all when you're building a wall and into the truck it disappears."

As for part of the application process, I now have to find someone with a scanner connected to a computer so I can hand-sign my fourty page background check.
On a related note, I'm now told I must become financially independent for everything except the house bill, and with the temp job ending, I'm in a crunch and a rush for a new job.
The makes me happy, because I'm starting to wear the pants, so to speak, but it would be a lot less stressful if I had $300-500 to aid the transition process. If I get the Homeland Security job, compared to some entry-level job, I can start doing the things I've been dying to do for the past three years. At heart, I'm really not a video game kind of person.
For the mean time, this has also made me happy.

I had a great workout today. I usually go with a friend, but today I swapped bench presses with dumbbell presses so I don't need a spotter.

« on: September 28, 2010, 12:38:07 pm »Wait, 30 mins of.. Exercise?.. In a day?... That's.. Erm.. Ehm.. Urm.. Okay.Heaven forbid you take a minute and drink some water...
Edit: After the initial shock, here are some tips: While jogging, do not stop. I repeat, DO NOT STOP. The speed does not matter much at first. Just have a good pace that you are OK with and try to atleast run for 40 mins.. Also, don't walk, even if it's slow jogging, it's better than walking.
Having a fast heart rate is what I think you're trying to say.

« on: September 28, 2010, 08:10:10 am »Ew, yeah it degrades very quickly. Weight training degrades fast too if you let your diet slip.Not really, as I can run 3000 meters in 12 minutes.With enough practice, you can run pretty durn fast. The thing is though, about aerobic fitness, you have to work out every day. A common saying is that for every two weeks you miss, you lose a month of training.
My record for the two mile (3200m) is 11:41, personally.

The operation cardio thread in creative projects may give you some advice for what you want to do. It's dead, but still informative.

Yesterday I had some popcorn chicken. Shortly after finishing it, I asked myself, "why do I keep buying this?"

After the headache went away, I had a really good day. I didn't feel anxiety when I went out, I got a lot done, and I played Civ 5 at a friend's.
What could be a better normal day than to accomplish things, go out and meet people, and have some game-playing time.
Having a sleep schedule and not drinking caffeine makes all the difference for me. I sleep when I'm supposed to, and I have the productive part of the day to work on things I want to do.

« on: September 27, 2010, 11:21:47 am »After many painful failures on my part, I made some promises about certain things, promises that I would never do certain things again.I'm vaguely telling all of you that vague things may vaguely happen, and more on these vague developments will be disclosed at some vague time.
I lied.
More on this later. I will elaborate once preparations are finished (Rather than elaborating now, and doing the preparations later, which is the better part of my problems)
