I have discovered a new kind of crack, and it's name is Frozen-Bubble also known as Snood to all you Windows people. I started
playing this game tonight because I was bored (my roommate already took the TV
home and everyone was either away or busy) and I couldn't stop playing. They
really need warning labels on these things. "Do not play if you want to have a
life"
I also went to go sell back some of my books today, and was shocked back into
reality when I remembered how little you get back considering what you spent for
the book. A $90+ dollar textbook gets you $30 in cash. So a note to all you
pre-college peoples out there, always buy and sell from your friends if
possible. The seller sells above what the bookstore will give you, and below
what it costs to buy used in the bookstore. So everyone wins! Yay! There is also
the chance that editions will change after you buy your text book. That's what
happened to chem and economics books this year, no one will buy them back since
a new edition is coming out in the fall. Most of the time however, it's just
some misspellings fixed and then rearranging the problems in the book to say
they've changed X% of it and can thus issue a new edition. It's such a racket,
but everyone has to put up with it. At least one person though advocates
not selling back old textbooks since he believes you're selling information
then back to the bookstore. Personally I would never look through most of my old
textbooks again, and some like chem I try to banish from my mind.
Peanut Butter jelly Time!
The creator of the Melissa virus was
sentenced to 20
months of prison for his act. It's nice to see a malicious virus writer get
what he deserves. I must not be very popular though, cause the only email virus
I've ever gotten was Sircam, and that was only one email. I'm not feeling the
love here people! If I was really popular and cool, I'd be getting
virus's all the time! Instead I just get spam for "Lose weight FREE!" and
"Would you like to get PAID every time you EAT!" stuff. Those spammers
really care about me don't they, always trying to help me out and make
me rich. How sweet.
OpenOffice 1.0 was released yesterday.
It's the open source version of Sun's Star Office, and works quite well. It's
completely free and can read and write Microsoft Office documents just fine,
except in certain special cases where there may be messups. It's well worth the
download if you dont' feel like paying $250+ for Microsoft Office.
Just two more days of the dorm life, and then it's over for 4 months. So sad so
sad. But next year I'll be staying in a brand new dorm (and paying up the wazoo
for that privilage as well) so it should be really cool.
