Building Computers

[Lyokofreak offline]

I've been building computers since i was 10 years old. Before that, i would watch my dad and cousin build them and program the day away... I now work as a computer repairman. No, its not my career (yeah right ^^)... But HEY! What else can you do when youre over 13 and under 16?

I started working on Old-School machines...
I laugh, even in bed, when i think of the old computers i built and repaired so many years ago... A 1 gb hard drive and 64 ram... windows 95... technology has advanced so much... and it's a good thing i have adapted. I do most repairs physically, and if its a virus or malware, then i go into software repair. I have service charges and everything... Its a well-paying job if there's enough customers in the area!

Anyone else?

Ever since I was little it's kind of a special time when my dad and I build computers. We built my computer, my mom's the one I'm on now, and the new one the other day.

I love computers. I myself remember watching my dad programming 95.

My dad's a software engineer. When I was little, when I still lived in Japan (age 2-5), I used to watch my dad program on the computer. After I moved to America, one day, I watched him make an HTML document. *Sigh*... I was just so amazed... I tried editing it and had some fun for a while.

Ever since that day when I was six, I'd been asking my dad how to make a computer game. That was my lifelong dream. (My real dream, not the ten million other dreams that I just blurt out) But every time I asked him, all he did was tell me to write down "requirements" and "parameters." Then he just wouldn't tell me anything about programming. Man, what a waste of time!

I remember the day when my dad first taught me programming with Perl. I learned for a little while, but then I got bored 'cause he's a horrible teacher.

A year or two later, I started my website. (That was my other major dream.) I tried using books and asking my dad to teach me HTML, but it just didn't work. Eventually, I figured it out by looking at the source codes of many websites.

The best way to learn a programming language is just to take a program, look at its source code, and figure it out.

Off topic: this is my 333rd post!! That's like three digits that are exactly the same!

Three digits that are exactly the same, and three!

So, is it three threes?
And if you had three accounts and they only had a max post count of 333, wout it be threethreethrees?

Which is threthreethreecubes?
Or 333^3? Or is it 3333?

I'm getting far too carried away with this...

My dad's a software engineer, and my mom's a drafter. They met over an MRI machine, which I, twelve years later, was in when I had severe migranes and they wanted to make sure it wasn't anything bad.

And I'm into graphic desigh, I want to get into designing logos whwn I'm older. Now, I'm just up to making avvies. I love playing with the colors. here's some of my latest work:









Just a few... But I really want to get into Stuff like 3d design.

For my math project, I showed how Computer Software engineers who develop games use the Pythagorean theorem to make a circle, so I could create a scene from pacman using pixel art.

I think it would be 3(333). Or 3(3(3)). Or:
:3->k
isp 3(3kk)

That was two lines of TI-BASIC, the programming language used on the TI-82, TI-83+ (SE), and TI-84+ (SE).

Anyway, I love making web pages and computer games. I don't know how to make the source codes and such yet, so I'm using a program called Multimedia Fusion. It's kind of gruesome, but at least not as gruesome as raw programming.

I make text based RPG's.

You don't know how to make sources? Pity. Read tutorials for Turbo Pascal, and then download Delphi =). Or just read tutorials for Delphi. Alternatively, you can start with C, but it will not be a head start =)

I use Perl; script languages are perfect for text games. It usually malfunctions on me, though. So many subtle bugs.
