Sorry, that's a bit of a lie. I've been "clean" of hard drug use for nearly 4 or 5 months, but every day I still find myself getting cravings for some of what I've done. It passes, but my brain will always continue to want it.

I've known that I hate people since I was about 15 years old. That's why I spend most of my time on the internet, and not outside.

Forgot about this shit I wrote with my alt:

Oh yes, when my friends read this, I never heard the end of those "pink dance hoodies".

Anyway, these threads have been made plenty of times before. You're not original or funny, and this is not 2007.

Alright, my assignment was posted, and now I've got something to work with. I'm not typically one to plan this much, but I figure I can do all my documentation at home before I know exactly how I intend to execute the bulk of my assignment.

I'm also sure that I could get in trouble if I gave away all my code on here and an other student was to come across it and use it. I'll post my preliminary blueprinting anyway, because some of you might find it interesting to know how others solve problems.

I intend to break down each of those functions into further commenting to wrap my head around the algorithms I intend to use to write the body of each function, as well as the body of the main function.

ppm.py was written as a means of giving us a way of importing and using the portable pixel map files without having to worry about the exact details of how the lists are generated. I think that its not only beyond us, but would be an immense pain in the ass to create. To make things a little more clear, each image is saved as a list of lists of lists. The outer list is a list of columns. Each item in a
column list is a list of three integers, which represent the red, green and blue components of the pixel's color.

Here's what I've done as far as blueprinting:

#
#  A python application that makes use of the module ppm.py and quickdraw.jar
#  in order allow a user to display images (taken in the portable pixel map image 
#  format) and modify them using some of several functions that will process the 
#  images. When changing an image, both the original and changed versions will
#  be displayed for comparison.
#
#  Name: 
#  ID: 
#


#  import the ppm module in order to import and display portable pixel map images
#  in quickdraw:
import ppm

#
#  Define the function darken: darken takes an image and converts its color
#  a given percentage darker as defined by the user.
#
#  Parameters:
#    darkimg:      The name of a list storing data of the image data to be darkened.
#    darkfactor:   An integer percent to darken the image by as defined by the user.
#
#  Returns: A new list storing the darkened image.

def darken(darkimg,darkfactor):
	#  stuff

#
#  Define the function chromaKey: chromaKey takes two images (a top and a bottom),
#  distinguishes green pixels from non-green pixels in the top image, and replaces the
#  green pixels from the top image with the existing images in the bottom one. 
#
#  Green pixels are defined as pixels whose green color portion is at least 20 units
#  larger than its red component and at least 40 units larger than its blue component.
#
#  Parameters:
#    topimg:    The name of a list storing the upper image's data.
#    botimg:    The name of a list storing the lower image's data.
#
#  Returns: A new list that has all green pixels from topimg replaced with original
#           pixels from botimg.
#

def chromaKey(topimg,botimg):
	#  stuff

#
#  Define the rotate180 function: rotate180 takes an image and modifies it so as to 
#  have a new image that is a 180 degree rotation of the given image.
#
#  Parameters:
#    rotimg:    The name of a list storing data of the image to be rotated.
#
#  Returns: A new list containing the rotated image.
#

def rotate180(rotimg):
	#  stuff
#
#  Define the blur function: blur takes an image to be blurred, and averages each pixel
#  with itself and the 8 surrounding pixels in order to produce an average color at each
#  pixel, creating a new image which appears to be blurry. 
#
#  Parameters:
#    blurimg:    The name of a list storing data of the image to be blurred.
#
#  Returns: A new list containing the data for the blurred image.
#

def blur(blurimg):
	#  stuff

#
#  Define the main function: main carries out algorhythms and functions based on user input.
#
#  Parameters: None. 
#
#  Returns: Nothing. 
#

def main():
	#  stuff
	
	
#  Call the main function:
main()

I wish I had one of those when I was 14. Get it!

I got about 5 hours of sleep last night and felt fine waking up this morning, but I then had a five hour nap this afternoon. I guarantee I won't be getting to bed early tonight.

I go to my biology labs drunk because they're late and I work with 3 other people who don't speak English. I really need something to take the edge off working with them until late hours of my Tuesdays. The best part is that my mark is never influenced by it, because there's still 3 sober people working on it.

Problem solving. Hurrr...

But actually, I'm thinking of switching my major from Biological Sciences to Computer Science, because I'm really enjoying it.

Coffee at age 11ish?

Yeah, a cup here, a cup there, a few energy drinks a few years later, a few energy drinks every day after that, and heaps of coffee (1.5 - 2.5 liters at a time) every fucking day shortly after that.

I can't seem to function without it. Drinking a ton of it is part of my daily routine.

Here's some background on hydrocarbon abuse, as in the case of inhaling the gas from a lighter.

It's really stupid. They call it "huffing". It works with paint-thinner, spray-paint propellant, other miscellaneous propellants, gasoline, and of course, the gas from a lighter.

If you're that desperate to get "high", pick up a fucking 10-bag.

I'm currently waiting for my computer science professor to post assignment 3. That's KIND OF like a project, I guess?

I'm surprised it isn't uploaded yet, as it's due in less than two weeks.

My guess is that it will require us to use, manipulate, sort, and read lists in order to produce something graphical by piping output to a drawing application called quickdraw that was written in Java.

When I was trying to learn C++ I picked up a book called C++ From The Ground Up by Herbert Shildt. I don't think it assumed any previous knowledge of programming and had very extensive descriptions and examples.

The book also had either URLs or a CD that made all of the examples available so you wouldn't have to re-write them from the book.

I've also picked up Starting Out With Python by Tony Gaddis as supplement to the computer science course I'm taking in University. It covers everything from displaying the line "Hello World" to GUI programming. What's nice about GUI programming with Python is that it is presented in essentially plain-English compared to other languages. The book touches most-heavily on the important programming concepts, and offers a lot of insight into what everything does in Python.

The general rule is the harder the language is to learn, the more powerful it is. Sure, maybe assembler is more powerful than Python, but a beginner likely isn't interested in a language which exposes a lot of the operating system's internal workings. Python should be just fine if you've never programmed before.

That "care" is usually depressing information, or depressing in that it is a reminder of how she's not all right. You can't help somebody who doesn't want help. If I had schizophrenia, I probably wouldn't want help either.

The drugs they give you change who you are. On the outside it might seem like my mom is who she used to be 20 years ago, but inside there's all sorts of shit happening. You can tell there's a change when you're taking the drugs, and even if it is for the better, it still feels wrong.

That's probably the most profound thing I've heard in a while.

I can empathize with you here, and I've made that same judgment a couple years ago with my own mother. I'm glad my mom isn't messed up with drugs, but being schizophrenic is probably nearly as bad.

A drug addict and a mentally unstable person go through very similar and unpredictable cycles. You can have good days, bad days, good periods, and bad ones. Unfortunately my own mother has been on one of these "bad" cycles, and phones me every couple of days from her "home" somewhere in BC. I don't listen to my mom anymore, I let the calls from her go to voicemail, and promptly delete the message.

I get postcards and presents too. I can't bear keeping them around. I usually throw them out, sometimes without even opening them.

I feel what its like. It was especially confusing being only 3 and 4 years old, having to deal with it.

Don't get a scope, but don't cheap out on $35 for some sights.

I find it hard to believe that you could make an accurate sight by hand. Even being off by a very small margin could reduce the gun's accuracy VERY considerably.

Yes, that'll remove that space, but don't expand your XP partition. gParted tends to corrupt data on NTFS when expanding. Make sure you back up anything important before you do this too.

I'd suggest making the Linux partition into FAT32 or NTFS so XP can access it as a separate drive.

Solution:

Stupid profile picture + stupid middle names. Nobody will ever find you.

I learned the basic idea and syntax of programming when I was 12 or 13 using Actionscript. I agree that it's not exactly programming, but it's what got me into it. I then got a book on C++ which got me thinking like a programmer. C++ was something way too powerful for a 13 year-old kid, and I probably never learned 98% of what can be done.

I basically stopped altogether after that, because I had no real motivation, and I didn't understand how to make anything worthwhile. It was kind of like a learning experience.

Anyway, university rolls around, 5 years later, and I'm taking programming for multidisciplinary studies, which is learning Python. I really like python, as it allows me to solve tasks and feel as though I'm actually doing something useful. I particularly like this class, as we've made some graphical applications, something I never managed to do on my own.

Python is good (for beginners) because it hides a lot of the details of the actual processes of the computer from the programmer, and allows them to focus on the task at hand.

Anyway, good luck in your programming endeavors.
