“I am very beautiful girl to chat with you and come to your home tonight”

“I am online. Click here to chat or sex with me”
Hey, why was that SPAM? I will sex with beautiful girl! NOW!

Summer Job ‘07 – End

Ryan — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 05:35:12 +0000

Just over two month ago, I started my summer job, and Friday was my last day. When I look back, it’s hard to give an overall feel. I have done various projects over the years, but this year I feel like I did all that much. Yeah I created two small databases, I was supposed to fix/update one that I did last year, but I never was told what needed to be done really. One of the two I made from scratch, I felt pretty good about.

I am not sure how to properly describe this, but I work in a satellite location of the headquarters. Actually the hierarchical of the company is Headquarters > St. Louis Office > Us — Seattle. The database that I liked was only for four or five people locally, but there is a hundred or so totally. Right now, well at least locally, it is done by one big old excel file. One of the supervisors who used to have this position and covered some stuff with me. He started to pull together other location’s data and made kind of a summary page for each location. Between not knowing what all the figures means or why they were pulled together in the manner in which they were. I couldn’t meet with this person much after that due to his schedule.

I also received three awards. The first was a Commander’s coin, the second was an award that was made within the last 9 months or so. During the little spiel, I was told this represents my dedication to the place I worked for, and my ability to shift from team-to-team without any hassle.

Where does it go?

I just realized something, I only blogged two times in the whole month of July. How sad is that? I got this domain almost a year ago, in hopes to just explode with blogging and other things. However that is not happening really. During school, I was trying to focus on my studies, but I don’t have any now. So where has the time gone? In the end of June, I wrote a post about how I was dealing with some personal issues. I thought things would clear up and return to normal, but seeing that it will not happen, I have to pack my things up and move on. That happened just about three weeks ago. If you don’t know me, I usually don’t have the best luck with women.

I have been working on putting together a site for a department at school. My initial design went over pretty well, I am waiting to hear back about it. This caused me to dive back into PHP. One of the features the department wants is to display a few blurbs about the department — like updates and such. This caused me to throw together a small database and figure how to show only the latest few entries.

My next step is to figure out how to make a form, so that the proper people could “update the site” without touching my database. My main issue is I don’t know how to make the form say: put these values into these fields of this database. I haven’t really looked too much to figure it out. The examples I have seen, have a random URL in the beginning of the form. From what I recall, you need to do that only when you are giving a detail summary. If anybody could give me a pointer, it would be great.

Summer Job ‘07

Ryan — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 19:18:22 +0000

I just finished my second week of my summer job. Sometimes when you begin a new job, there is some excitement and stuff. There is none here, mainly because this is my fourth summer working for them. It is basically the same thing, yeah, a few people left and a few new people came. No big deal.

There is one thing that has been bugging the heck out of me. One of the people at work, totally ignores me. I am not sure what is going on with that. Maybe I gave her a wink, and it turned her off.

Finals Week

Ryan — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 12:05:56 +0000

This week was finals, it was quite a blur even though I had only one standard final. On Monday I left work early to start studying, and catch up with a friend for dinner. Unfortunately, dinner plans fell through and that left me to study for the night. Both Tuesday and Wednesday were hell. On Tuesday, I took the day off, because my final was Wednesday. A friend and I arranged to study together, originally she wanted to start around 9:30 or 10. So I got up at 9, got ready and waited for her call that said she was nearby campus…She called a bit after 10, and told me she just got up, and to give her about an hour to get there. I figured I would do stuff around here, and buzz to the library in about 45 minutes or so…thinking I’d just get there and just getting settled before starting. I get set up, and figured I would do a bit, and kind of start over whenever she comes. Around 11:15 I get a call she had just woken up again, and is now on her way. She showed up about an hour later, and we got started.

We were there until almost 8:30, and she had to get back home. I was absolutely beat, I studied practically 9 hours straight on almost no food. I had a protein bar when I got up, I took a break around 3 to get a smoothie, and on my trek there, a group was giving away FREE food. I was like sweeeeeeeet, unfortunately it was only half a sandwich and a granola bar, but free. I ate the sandwich on the way into the place to get my smoothie. On my way back, I gave them a ‘can I have another’ look, but they didn’t bite.

I arrive back at my dorm, around 9, and sit down to dinner at 9:30. Absolutely drained, I decided to take a cat nap and then study some more. Well, when I got up, I was like oh crap, I don’t know what to go over, what to memorize, blah, blah, blah. After almost 3 hours of that, I said to heck with it, I am off to bed for good. My exam was at 8:30, I had my mom give me a call around 7-7:30. I managed to get up at 6 to get some last minute studying in, but I didn’t make much progress than I did when I quit 4 hours ago. Yes, I took a final on 4 hours of sleep.

I walk into my final, gave it an once over, and was like I was stressing over this and this, but it’s not on here. I only said damn I should have gave that term more than a quick read while studying two times. Somehow I managed to finish the test with just about a half hour to spare. The person I studied with finished before that even. After a quick bite to eat I manned our booth at the tech fair. I primarily answered questions about accessible technology, and did on-the-fly accessible web design evaluations.

As for the rest of the week, it was pretty mellow.
