multithreading

Some people seriously blow my mind.

Can you imagine him describing a house he bought?
“2 bedrooms, small TV but it could be an 80″ flatscreen, oh and ive got a hoover but it could be a fully articulating five function robot that can read my mind and has feelings. floorboards.”

University bit:

So, making some revision notes atm whilst listening to the remixed Wii Cave Story OST. Came across this prime example of why being a biology student sucks dick.

———–

“Pol III Accessory factors:-
Assembly factors:
- TF IIIA – Binds to C box
- TF IIIC – Binds to B Box, large subunit complex
Transcription factor:
- TF IIIB – Binds to A Box, multi subunit protein, composed of the TATA binding protein, TBP and other polypeptides.”

———-

What the fuck is wrong with you people! if it binds to ‘C Box’ , why not call that fucker ‘ TFIII C’ !
12 Exams coming, FML.

Gaming bit:

In other news, Army of two 40th Day came today, pretty reasonable game – nothing mind blowing but its some good fun in split screen co-op, Which – aside from abit of anime or films, is the main way we bond.

I Hacked my Wii the other day with a little help from some online guides and a friend, one of my housemates has already hacked his wii so I had a little bit of what to expect and really basic stuff which i think helped somewhat. It was actually pretty easy to do, dump a bunch of stuff onto an SD card and then follow instructions. I still dont really understand A LOT of things about it though, there are tons of options and files which I dont really get, but im sure i’ll work it out eventually. Ive managed to get NSMBwii running off my USB stick for now, my brother went out and bought a wii motion plus and we ordered an external HDD which will hopefully be compatible with the console. With any luck we’ll be able to stick all the games on the HDD and everything will be dandy.

Anime bit:

Started watching ‘G.T.O’ or Great Teacher Onizuka yesterday, didnt expect to end up getting a little carried away and watching 1/4 of the series (and its a 40something episode series too). Funny anime, although it has its fair share of serious bits too.

Closing a chapter of my life

February 08th, 2010 | Category: blog,rant

So , better get this out so i can go about forgetting faster.

Sunday whilst exploring fran’s facebook inbox i came across messages between her and some guy , called her up about it and turns out she’s been sleeping with some guy for the past week. Broke up over the phone on monday morning.
I fear i will have trust issues with future girls given the fact that frances completely lied to me about stuff even as i asked her over the phone , god knows what else she’s lied about , who knows maybe she was seeing other people during my entire first year of uni.

So im single again (ladies?), on the plus side now i have more time to spend with the real love of my life…

It was good while it lasted~ you cheating bitch!

Blood Test

December 26th, 2009 | Category: blog,rant

So i went to the doctors a few days ago to get a blood test , today my mum went to the hospital , confidence’d the guards and waltz into the staff area of the hospital she used to work at , she then went to her old ward and just went behind the main desk and started using the computer to check the pathology section of the intraweb.

According to the blood test results , everything of mine seems to be fine but im low on white blood cells (neutrophils in particular) and platelets (the things which let your blood clot)
I thought id try and check google to see if theres anything in particular I can try and eat to boost my WBC’s or platelets , unfortunately there doesnt seem to be any simple dietary fix.
The best advice i managed to find was ‘Try to avoid injurying yourself’
Fucking fantastic. thanks google
Ill have to make some major lifestyle changes there , im pretty much just throwng myself into rough looking walls and piles of glass currently.

Oh. in other news , i just ordered some £70 5.1 surround speakers since im fed up of having a sound card worth £65 and speakers worth approximately £8
Went with the Creative Inspire T6200 , gotta be reppin’ dat Creative , ive got 3 creative mp3 players a headset and a soundcard so i figure i may as well get speakers to match.

Wikipedia

December 20th, 2009 | Category: rant

One can easily forget sometimes that wikipedia isnt actually written by top scientists or anything of the sort , almost all articles are up for editing meaning the 200 words you just stole for your coursework could very easily have been written by a 14 year old crackhead with down syndrome. Case in point.

If you guys arent online gaming in the dark in front of a giant green neon tube whilst holding N64 controllers… you’re probably doing it wrong.

So as some of you may know , DR4G0NF0R(3 is coming out with a new album soon , its going to be called…

ULTRA BEATDOWN

Which is pretty much THE BEST album title ever conceived , ever.
ever.

“Tom (Cross) says:
It sounds like they’re taking rejected names from a pokemon move naming contest and naming albums after them”

I actually never thought of that before. Lets review a few of these rejected moves.

“Fury of the Storm” – Dragon type , does shitfuckton of damage

“My Spirit Will Go on” – Ghost / Dragon Type , Auto ressurects the pokemon after death

“Cry of the brave (bonus track)” – Dragon Type , Kinda like Roar , only the bonus version.

“Through the Fire and Flames” – Dragon Type , immunity to fire… and flames.

“Operation Ground and Pound” – Ground/Dragon Type , Throws a military style tantrum and starts pounding the floor

“Body Breakdown” – Dragon type , pokemon decomposes.

“Invocation of the Apocalyptic Evil” – Dragon Type , Automatically defeats everything

And so i set off… to make my own dragonforce song.

And the result?

FURY FREEDOM BLOOD ARMA-GEDDON!~ KINGDOM STORM MOONLIGHT SO-OO-LDIER
HEEEEEEEEEEEART TOOOOOOOOOORMEEEEEEEEENT , MIIIIIIIIGHT , CHAAAAAAAAOSSSSSSSS

WE CARRY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
WE CARRY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
WE CARRY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

(Guitar Solo)

UNIVERSE POUND ETERRRRNITY , FIRE MADNESS
DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGON

FIGHT EVIL , BLACK FLAME VICK-TO-RY
WINTER SWORD DRAGON FLAME E-TER-NI-TYYYYYYYYYYY

WE CARRY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
WE CARRY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
WE CARRY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

(7 Minute Guitar Solo)

UNIVERSE POUND ETERRRRNITY , FIRE MADNESS
DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGON

APOCALYPSE FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(Guitar Solo)

<end>

I think it came out pretty well myself.

Im yet to decide on a suitable track title though. Maybe something like ‘UNIVERSE ETERNITY FIRE’

Perhaps one of you can leave a title in the comment box :3
