Roommates…Again…

Ugh…

Remember my roommates’ fake Ben?

He is over again, and he and my roommate are having some bullshit “enlightened” conversation about life, death and justice. It is really annoying to hear him in a British accent acting like a pretentious emo kid.

And he is trivializing the death of one of his friends (who was drunk and was hit by a motorist) by saying that people die all the time.

Sure, people do die all the time. But you knew this guy. Treat his passing with at least something resembling respect. Christ.

WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE

What is it with people and noise during the exam period?

I’m sitting in my room, trying to study for some very difficult finals, and the people above me keep blaring loud music and my roommate next door keeps practising his violin or cello or some shit. I cannot stand it. For Christssake people, it is a two week long period where people are writing exams. For two weeks, TWO MEASLY WEEKS, can you keep the fucking volume down.

Wordpress WTF

So, I log in to Wordpress today and everything is totally fucked up. Links are skewed all over, images are not loading, and the entire interface seems crushed within half of my monitor.

Did someone go about and update our Wordpress Installations to some sort of broken version, because this is just messy. I mean…this one text box has dark grey text against a light gray background…

Wireless Routers Mess Up Internets, Wha?

So, apparently the landlord of my building slid a letter under our door telling the people in our unit that someone in our apartment has a wireless router that needs to be disconnected because it messes up the system.

Is that even possible? I mean…I cannot get my Internet to work here without my router. If I disconnect it, I use my most reliable method of connection with my family, girlfriend, and my school-related info.

Does anyone know if a router can actually mess up a buildings Internet connection?

The Truth Shall Set You Free

Phew. Truth and justice has prevailed.

We explained to the coordinator that our code was only vaguely similar because we prepared our programs in the pre-planning stages together. Any other similarities were coincidental.

So, to test our skills, the coordinator had us each write the method again - from scratch - on paper. We both did. We both did it right (although I realized a mistake I had made upon the initial submission of the code).

And - in the end - it all worked out.

A happy ending.

Let this be a lesson to all of you. Sometimes, even NOT cheating isn’t good enough. You have to do some sort of super NOT cheating that even an all-powerful deity could not perceive.
