Good fun,,,,,, sooo wasted. I shoud have stopped like 1/3 of the way through but... o well... having fun... hopefully ill pass out in a bit and not be toooooo hungover tomorrow..... ptobably shouldnt have left all that homework till last minute but.... o well.

always interesting when a fellow reg is wasted off his asss.....^^^^^^
Xmas comin up
So we are almost halfway through the month and xmas is right around the corner. Is anyone interested in that reg xmas gift swap again? I'll throw it together if theres enough interest in it... last year it panned out pretty well and was kind of interesting.
I bring it up this early because if we have european participants then you have to account for the 2 weeks it spends in transit. So if we do it then itd be good to get it going on the first week of dec so that everyone gets their shit before xmas.
None

Stupid Teacher.
Theirs apparently a new teacher at my school.. I just found out today because their was a big fuss about a spelling error she made on a handout. Apparently it said "stay away from jews" and everyone was having a big laugh. A friend of mine who was in her Family Management class showed me this handout. I laughed my ass off. :)
Stupid Project Help Mexico Kids.
'Kay here's the thing. I got no problem with helping poeple and junk, but what these kids are doing I find idiotic. Here's their plan, bear with me here...
Gain enouph money from donations and fund raisers to afford enouph money for enouph plane tickets to transport 50+ kids to mexico and enouph to buy the supplies needed to built a house for a poor family.
Sounds good right? My arguement to them was simple. Ya gotta do some critical thinking here..
Now if they didn't spend all that money on plane tickets and didn't go down their and built the stuff themselfves, they could send enouph money down their for at least a dozen houses to be made, plus because they don't go down their and aren't makin' it that leaves job openings for the unemployed.
So simply donating all this money is much more efficient.
In this arguement one of their representatives stated that "I can't stand poeple who don't contribute all they can. Most of them only donate $1." This I found ironic as they were A) Asking for 1$ donations and B) He says he can't stand poeple who don't contribute all they can. Yet they themselves could contribute more if they just donated all the money instead of spending 9/10ths of it on plane tickets. I brought this up and noted that since he doesn't contribute all he can, he must hate himself. At this point they asked me to step outside until the end of the presentation.
It's a good thing I heard about the stupid teacher the next block as I ws fairly agree about this.

Re:Productive enviroment
Good question the Criminal Dooder.
I find, and others have said this too - that working in the dead hours of the night is the best. I dont know why. Maybe we're all a product of our enviroment (here) and for that reason are a bunch of insomniacs who have to work at night? Further investigation is needed - get on it people.
I've always been a night hawk myself. Maybe it's because daytime offers too many distractions. I'm usually up till 2-4 am on schoolnights. Thank the gods for coffee! :3
Also: I got two 35 pnd. dumbbells in my room. I find working out helps keep me active too. Though my fav is jogging with my (CUTE!)dog. :)

The problem is they refuse to admit that a kid still in school can have a good idea. Once something like that came to my school. It was to help like african kids get schools, and they gave out pamphlets on it, describing exactly what they do. They buy american wood and hire american workers to fly to 3rd world countries in africa and build schools.
Couple problems, building materials in Africa cost like 1/16th of what they do in America, and african workers can work for pennies on the hour. So why buy american supplies and hire americans? I asked them and they couldn't really answer, so they went on a rant about the symbolism of it...
I then figured out it was just to make america, but more themselves than the country, look good.
Afterwards a couple of my teachers came up to me and said I was right.

Yeah I agree with ya. Their's stuff like this all around the world. It pisses me off.
It's sort of the oppesite on NG though eh? Usually when someone gets a good idea wheither they be small or big it gets noticed. Like how Tom decided to do another treasure hunt 'cause of that one kid, or even way back when Luis thought up the Time Trials... Damn I love NG.

Gwah! AS2 3D Carousels mindf*ck!
This advance AS2 junk is hard... :S
I've finally managed to get a working Carousel perfectly centred and all. (Only toke 2 days.)
Now I've been tryin' to figure out how to get it so on the release for the icons it'll gotoAndPlay the correct scene. Basically what I'm doing is trying to make a 3D interactive Carousel menu for my bios page for my site. (Plus it'll be a nice lil' thing I can always modify and use later, actually was thinkin' of makin' a preloader one which speeds up the more it loads. :P)
Anyway here's the code...
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 200;
var radiusY:Number = 50;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2.2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;
var speed:Number = 0.05;
var perspective:Number = 130;
var home:MovieClip = this;
var tooltip:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("tooltip", "tooltip", 10000);
tooltip._alpha = 0;
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function() {
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for (var i = 0; i<numOfItems; i++) {
var t = home.attachMovie("item", "item"+i, i+1);
t.angle = i*((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.ref.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.icon.onRollOver = over;
t.icon.onRollOut = out;
t.icon.onRelease = released;
}
};
function over() {
home.tooltip.tipText.text = this._parent.toolText;
home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y-this._parent._height/2;
home.tooltip.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this, moveTip);
home.tooltip._alpha = 100;
}
function out() {
delete home.tooltip.onEnterFrame;
home.tooltip._alpha = 0;
}
and now for part I'm trying to figure out... Also: This was the first time I've ever imported a XML into flash so bear with me here.
'Kay now what I've been trying to do lately is find a parent object where I can get the tooltip var from within the XML file. 'Cause inside of it each image has a tooltip var. ex:
<icon image="derek.png" tooltip="Derek" />
So by using the tooltip vars for each image from within the XML file I can identify each object thus telling it to gotoAndPlay the correct scene/frames aka the actual bio.
The code I've been screwing around with is as followed...
function released() {
trace(this._parent.toolText);
if (tipText="Derek") {
gotoAndPlay("derekb");
} else {
trace(this._parent.toolText);
if (tipText="Darryl") {
gotoAndPlay("darrylb");
}
}
}
Now I realize as it is it is wrong, that's 'cause I'm still tryin' to figure this junk out. I'm just tryin' to make it able to go to two diffirent bios right now. derekb and darrylb. I put "b"s at the end so that it doesnt get confused.
Anyway for now I'm trying to think up a way to make a new var to be able to identfy the different icons easier. So when I click Derek icon it goes to the Derek bio and vice versa with the rest.
Now for the rest of the code!
function moveTip() {
home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y-this._parent._height/2;
}
xml.load("icons.xml");
function mover() {
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle)*radiusX+centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle)*radiusY+centerY;
var s:Number = (this._y-perspective)/(centerY+radiusY-perspective);
this._xscale = this._yscale=s*100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale)+100);
}
this.onMouseMove = function() {
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX)/2500;
};
Sure I could use basic buttons or somethin`for the bio menu, but this is a lot funner.. I don`t know why but I love challageing myself to the point my mind blows up. :P

Ooo, let me give you some advice... What ever you do DO NOT go and get yourself popular or start to party.... I was boozed when I should have been studying physics. Seriously popularity is a death sentence, all I wanted to do was be a nerd and waste my life on computer games and programming but OH NO people decided I was funny and cool... Now I party every weekend when I should be wasting it on some 2bit game and stupid community like NG here, I <3 you all.
Hell its gotten so bad right that people are throwing me a party for my birthday! Now I have to go!! Like fuck... What is the world coming to! To combat the monotony of all the lads and such saying 'happy birthday' I came up with the greatest idea I get boozed before I go to the party, so like here I am now drinking my Vevezzo (Because I am mexican) and waiting for the lads to rock up and drag me kicking and screeming to the party.
But seriously guys who havn't finished school yet, don't do what I did and waste the time... Its fun but it will be soo much better off for you if you get good grades.
I'm hitting schoolies next year.
Lame... I hit up schoolies last year to, thats right I was an underage toolie!

New Computer
I'm thinking about getting a new computer, anyone got any recommendations what/where I should buy? My current PC is getting kinda slow.

I've found that buying parts to assemble a machine rather than buying a premade machine to be a LOT cheaper. So, just keep that in mind rather than buying a pre-packaged thing.
Plus, the pre-packaged thing would almost definately automatically have vista. *vomits*

I'd suggest buying an iMac, but as I will probably be shouted at for that suggestion... Buy some parts and build a PC yourself, it's cool and easy, seriously.

Hypothetical Question
How much of the polar ice caps would I have to melt before I can plausibly use Earth as a post apocalyptic pirate setting for a hypothetical Flash series? Anyone know a simulator or some pro-enviromentalist propaganda that shows the projected damage of the ice cap melt scenarios?

Yeah, I had considered building it myself, but a friend of mine has kinda put me off the idea. He was building one but he couldn't get the water cooler fitted correctly, so he took it to a shop to get it done. The guy doing it though couldn't actually do it either and spilled water all over the motherboard. The guy didn't replace the parts like-for-like so my mate's suing him. And this is like the only computer shop in Canterbury so if there's something I can't do myself, I'm fucked.

Yeah, that's a good point. I can't be doing with Vista.

Yeah, vista really sucks. Anyone else noticed how windows operating systems are attempting (and failing miserably) to mimic the previous versions of mac operating systems? Speaking of macs, who has gotten leopard? Most of my friends at school use macs, and the new os is pretty cool. They also have this cool thing called smackbook that lets them switch desktops by touch.
Still, I don't plan on getting a mac - they aren't compatible with anything I use.

By the way, Moose, I have that same scanner.
