Nope. It's the noisiest part of town and usually you'll find the worst people living there.

The bus thing is not a major problem I suppose, but not being able to read lecture slides kinda sucks. I can imagine it's difficult to follow lectures that way.

Nah, most of the time I can read them on my netbook, lol. ^^

So sometimes you're just sitting there in the lectures with your notebook displaying the very same lecture slides as the ones on the whiteboard?

Heh, well occasionally I call my gf during my bus/subway/train ride. While I usually only have one or two things to ask or say, we almost always get into a 15+ minutes talk about random things :p

Heh, my gf doesn't talk too much, just like me. So when we call each other we run out of things to say after 10 minutes. XD

Well normally we aren't that talkative either, but somehow we always find something new to talk about when we're on the phone. I feel like I'm occasionally annoying the people sitting around me though. They probably think I'm one of those people who keep on blabbering on the phone about absolutely nothing (which I guess is true to some degree).

I can't think of any better food actually... beside maybe lahmacun (Turkish pizza).

I once had a Dürüm Döner. The bread was so tasty, it was amazing. I almost went back into the store and asked if I could have some more bread.

Durum Doner? I think that's almost the same as a lahmacun, but a lahmacun has spiced meat in the dough. You can usually choose what you have on them, like kebab, chicken, lattice, tomatoes etc. and it's usually topped with garlic sauce.

Lol, yeah and write a program which can calculate if the A-team has to intervene:

Boolean help_needed;

While (A-team != retired) {
if help_needed == true;
return A-team;
}

or something, I don't know. This has always been my weakest subject :p

Lol, looks good to me. But you can simply write
if(help_needed)
because a boolean only knows two different states, true or not true. Also, the if-construction is a boolean construction as well. If $blabla is true, then... so writing: if $boolean==true is redunant. ^^

Like I said, this has always been my weakest area in uni. I'm glad I passed these courses, but I can still hardly write a decent program.

Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother

I'm guessing that's the next Pink Floyd album for my dad to get. I've yet to put Animals in my library after he got it for Christmas but I already have loads of albums to listen to plenty of times.

It's an album, but also the first song on the album which lasts 26 minutes or so. Then there are four more songs out of which one is about 13 minutes.

I'm not sure if this is something your dad would want to have, unless he really wants all the albums. Technically it's probably their worst album. I heard that the song Atom Heart Mother is really just a compilation of random music pieces they once created and looking back, the band members feel a bit embarrased by putting that on an album. The other songs on the album aren't very popular amongst fans either as far as I know.

Personally I think the song AHM has some very nice, easy listening parts which are very suitable as background music. The other songs are nice to listen to as well, but I would not recommend this album unless you are really a collector or a die hard Pink Floyd fan.

Maybe Ummagumma would be a better album to get, although to be honest I haven't listened to it that much yet. Otherwise the DVD Live in Pompeii is not bad. Visually it's not much interesting, but the tracks on the DVD are nice.

Yeah I know what you're saying.

Funny cause here we have the 'soccer dads' which refers to the over-fanatical dads along the sidelines who push their kids to become professional football players. Sometimes they make such idiots out of themselves.

Heh, soccer dads aren't exactly what soccer moms are like.

Yeah I wonder where that term comes from then (if I have the right image of a soccer mom in mind).

Yeah, I think it beats starters like Charizard and such. It's definitely a kick-ass pokemon to have in your team. I was disappointed that I couldn't get him in Platinum because I don't have Fire Red to insert into the gameslot :(

Charizard will always be a likely pick for me. However, Black/White will need to change that as it only focuses on new Pokemon until you get the National Dex.

Yeah, if I can get my hands on him. He has always been my absolute favorite starter out of all the games.

Too bad B/W only focuses on new ones until you get the national dex. I always like to see some familiar faces from which you already know their strenghts and weaknesses.

Yes, I never saw the benefit of having a crappy camera installed so that you can take lame pictures of yourself. It might appeal to some kids, but it's a pointless feature to us and it shouldn't be there at the cost of other things (such as the GBA slot).

And clearly the GBA slot is much more important than a shitty camera.

Couldn't agree more. Although my GBA still works fine as well, but a redundant GBA slot still beats a shitty camera.

That reminds me, I'm getting FFV on GBA and I'll soon get FFVI on it as well, even if I have to dish out £50+. It'll only get worse later on.

FFV eh? Together with III, that's the only FF I have never heard anything about at all.

Also this reminds me, I still want to play the DS remakes of FF III and FF IV. When I'm done with those I might as well go for V as well since I will have played I to IX then except for II.

My old GBA is pretty much unusable. It's the old design and not the SP so it doesn't have backlight. I may need to get another DS/DS Lite since I fear mine will break soon. There's even a dead pixel on it now which is a sign of it wearing out. I've heard many stories about DS'es breaking after a while so maybe mine is about to go soon.

FFIII is decent. I only recommend it for hardcore FF fans or those who really want to play all the main titles (excluding MMO). As for FFIV DS, be prepared for a very hard game. It shows no mercy at all.

As for FFIII, I figured that it wasn't their most impressive title since, again, I have never heard anyone ever mentioning this game. I'd like to go through it anyway though, just to try and beat all the FF's from I-IX (apart from II which I might save for last or never play through at all).

Well that, or they are the kind of people that tend to be a bit 'not caring about their neighbours and other people', loud, poor, not too bright etc. You know... most of those tend to live in the very center of the cities because that's where the cheapest homes are and that's all they can afford.

Yes, it has some advantages: I can read them without having to worry about obstacles that might be in the way (desks, or overhead projectors) plus I can easily advance a few slides to see what comes up next. It also helps me with taking notes.

Yeah I guess it's kinda handy to have them in front of you during the lectures. The thing is though, I can usually look through those slides at home in about 10 minutes and I will have gathered just as much from them. That's why I rarely go to lectures anymore ever since my second year, but now that I live closer to the uni I might go a bit more often again.

I'm pretty sure Lahmacuns are wrapped as well. Like I said, I think the only difference is the spiced meat in the dough and some of the toppings (although you could probably put the same on both and have an equally tasty meal).

And yes, I know the problem. They always wrap them in aluminium foil and napkins, but they're still difficult to eat without getting your face, fingers and the table all covered up in fat and sauce :p

Like I said, this has always been my weakest area in uni. I'm glad I passed these courses, but I can still hardly write a decent program.

It is one of the least talked about games from Final Fantasy but it does have its moments so it shouldn't be discarded right away. The only thing that might be off putting is the chibi characters but it's that or nothing because the original FFIII was only ever released in Japan.

Yeah he would lose his electric and water weakness, but gain weaknesses to dragon and ground. But considering there were no dragon moves in the first gen yet and ground and rock moves were rare, it would make his type combination a lot better.

I suppose they wanted to make sure that he would still have his weakness to water so that the strength triangle between him, Venussaur and Blastoise remains intact.

And don't forget Onix. Yeah when you put it that way... I would miss the awesome ones of the older gens though.

Abra... Still, you can get them later on.

Mostly Dragonite, Tyranitar, Gyarados and the like for me. I've had them in almost all my teams if they were available.

And yeah, it's only logical that they will start to suffer from wear eventually. Perhaps you could go for a 3DS? I don't know if it can play GBA games though.

The 3DS doesn't have the GBA slot, although the Virtual Console might have GBA games. However, it's hard to see FFIV-VI Advance going on there.

I see. Well that's too bad. Guess you have to stick to the GBA versions then and hope that your DS holds. I just saw some game shop also sells FFV Advance here by the way, but it costs around 45 euros which is a lot higher than other GBA games...

As for FFIII, I figured that it wasn't their most impressive title since, again, I have never heard anyone ever mentioning this game. I'd like to go through it anyway though, just to try and beat all the FF's from I-IX (apart from II which I might save for last or never play through at all).

It is one of the least talked about games from Final Fantasy but it does have its moments so it shouldn't be discarded right away. The only thing that might be off putting is the chibi characters but it's that or nothing because the original FFIII was only ever released in Japan.

But I see it does have 'jobs' which was a system I rather liked in Final Fantasy Tactics. Mostly because it was so versatile; You could set-up any character in any way you want. That might compensate for the lame character looks for me.

I'm hoping it won't cost too much to replace it. There a lot of other things that I need that are ahead of an unexpected modem replacement, like fixing the car radiator and the furnace with both are busted.

I can't imagine it's gonna be that expensive, but I've never had to have one replaced before so I can't say much about it.

I already checked the neighbours of my new apartment, but all the signals were weak and they all secured their connections with a password. So unfortunately I won't have an easy back-up in case mine fails, but there is library nearby in which I can use the internet for free.

Yeah the signal is very weak and cuts out often, but at least I'm lucky that I can still visit most places on the internet. Though watching Youtube videos are out of the question for the foreseeable future.

I suppose they won't load too well with a weak signal. I usually have trouble with loading Newgrounds as well though if the internet signal isn't strong.

True, but fortunately it´s a short one. And afterwards it will be March which means it's almost Spring already :)

And then April and Pico Day!

Time is flying. About a week or so ago it's been five months since I was review modded. Yikes!

I noticed that winter does seem to pass by a lot quicker now that I won't have to go to the uni during Christmas and almost the whole of January. And if you don't let the bad weather get you down, Spring also seems to come a lot sooner.

Not too many people with the Fab aura? Ha I see quite a few of them with that aura in the BBS. I can't even remember the last time I changed my aura to be honest with you.

I meant the fab aura with my specific level.

Level 52

Level 17.

Well there are albums which are good straight away, but then again they are usually the kind that you get bored with sooner or later.

I've noticed the easier to get into albums are sometimes the ones I get bored with eventually but I still listen to them every now and again.

I suppose they wanted to make sure that he would still have his weakness to water so that the strength triangle between him, Venussaur and Blastoise remains intact.

That's it. If Charizard was a dragon-type Pokemon, Blastoise wouldn't truly hurt Charizard.

Abra... Still, you can get them later on.

Some of them weren't available on all games. I don't think Dragonite was available for the original dex in Ruby/Sapphire.

I just saw some game shop also sells FFV Advance here by the way, but it costs around 45 euros which is a lot higher than other GBA games...

That's roughly the same amount I paid for FFV Advance so it's fair.

The job system in FFV is vastly superior to what FFIII offered.

Exactly. Those kind of people who think they are something better, because they pay an awful lot of rent for their small appartments. XD

Well that, or they are the kind of people that tend to be a bit 'not caring about their neighbours and other people', loud, poor, not too bright etc. You know... most of those tend to live in the very center of the cities because that's where the cheapest homes are and that's all they can afford.

Those kind of people you can find near industrial areas like the harbour and of course the red light district.

So sometimes you're just sitting there in the lectures with your notebook displaying the very same lecture slides as the ones on the whiteboard?

Yes, it has some advantages: I can read them without having to worry about obstacles that might be in the way (desks, or overhead projectors) plus I can easily advance a few slides to see what comes up next. It also helps me with taking notes.

Yeah I guess it's kinda handy to have them in front of you during the lectures. The thing is though, I can usually look through those slides at home in about 10 minutes and I will have gathered just as much from them. That's why I rarely go to lectures anymore ever since my second year, but now that I live closer to the uni I might go a bit more often again.

Whenever a new semester starts I think: "well, maybe I should attend more lectures this time" and in the end I only attend half of them. ^^

Durum Doner? I think that's almost the same as a lahmacun, but a lahmacun has spiced meat in the dough. You can usually choose what you have on them, like kebab, chicken, lattice, tomatoes etc. and it's usually topped with garlic sauce.

Link: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahmacun

Yes, but Dürüm is wrapped. The only disadvantage is that it's constantly dripping because of all the fat in it. ^^

I'm pretty sure Lahmacuns are wrapped as well.

But the link says they are served as some sort of Pizza-

And yes, I know the problem. They always wrap them in aluminium foil and napkins, but they're still difficult to eat without getting your face, fingers and the table all covered up in fat and sauce :p

And if you are really unlucky, your clothes are covered in fat as well.

Like I said, this has always been my weakest area in uni. I'm glad I passed these courses, but I can still hardly write a decent program.

I never liked programming myself.

Well you ought to know more about this than I do. But I'm sure you do :p

I guess I do. But I never was really good at programmin. ^^

Well, he wasn't the worst teacher I had. Plus, he was really good with languages. He teached English, French and Latin. And I'm sure he could speak spanish as well. :O

Was I really that demanding in 2010?

"Megaflare" just screams "GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!"

I only wanted icon modship. :P

Maybe Tom is an overachiever? Or he feared you could become even more demanding.

Who can we not outsuck? Justin Bieber?

I guess he's a tough opponent.

He sure is. After all, he appeared in a Superbowl commercial with Ozzy... God, he is such a sellout.

Who, Justin or Ozyy? >_>

I'm for the idea of mixing vuvuzelas and vacuum cleaners for my next experimental noise album.

We can put it as a hidden track on the album.

Nah, I want it to be the album closer.

That would work as well.

When you change your aura you would have to update you account information. The last time I changed my aura was before the redesigned. Back then I could change my aura without updating my account information meaning I didn't have to add a gender. Now in order to change it I would have to add a gender meaning I will have to give up having a genderless account in order to do so.
