People and trains
May 28th
God I was meant to write this post up ages ago but I always forget.
Some people just frustrates me to no end.
These are the annoying people you see whilst catching trains.
- People that stand in front of the doors rather than being on the side when trying to board the train
Wanna let people get off first before trying to get your butt on the train? It’s worse when I’m trying to get off and there’s this mofo standing in my way. These days when I get off and if I see a mofo in my way I stand in front of them until they move out of my motherfucking way. Let the passengers get off the motherfucking train before trying to get on it douchebag! - The type of people that upon boarding the train immediately stands on the side of the door
When you have to stand on the train there’s usually 4 optimal locations to stand and they are the ones by the door. They’re usually the first to be taken when people are forced to stand due to lack of seats. I do it, you do it, we all do it. But what pisses me off is during on peak, the person at the front decides it’s smart to stand on the side immediately. Why does this cause a problem? Well, on some trains the pole believe it or not is not in the fucking center of the door! Outrageous right? So when they stand on the side, you have to squeeze your way in whilst people on the other side of the door are briskly walking through. - The type that ruin the seating structure of the train simply because they’re too lazy to change their seat direction
On those old trains and millenium trains you can change the direction the seat faces right? Well, there are some people who are just too fucking lazy to change the seat to face the wrong direction. How is this a problem? Well, you get a situation where you have two sets of chairs facing each other. It’s uncomfortable enough having to sit next to a stranger but having to sit opposite someone as well and get your leg room chopped off by like 99%? Assholes. - The desperate lonely men
I don’t really find these guys annoying since they don’t sit next to me, I just feel bad for the girl that is forced to sit next to them. I’ve seen situations where there are plenty of seats everywhere and some guy just decides to sit next to that one girl. - The I’m-too-lazy-to-get-up-so-you-can-get-out person
Whenever, I’m sitting on the aisle seat and someone on the inside needs to get out, I stand up move out of the way and let them out. But there’s plenty of assholes that don’t! It amazes me! Cause then I’ll have to be careful not to stand on their fucking toes and also have to be careful not to slam my fucking bag into their face. Get the fuck up and let me out. - The I-don’t-care-if-im-in-your-way person
On packed trains and you need to get out there’s also going to be that one idiot that will rather stay in their position than move so the 10 or so people behind them can get out. I don’t want to lap around the carriage just to get out, get off the train so I can get out and then you can get back on! The train aint gonna leave as soon as you step out. - School kids
Okay, we’ve all done it, left our school bags on the ground and passengers had to skip over them. But come on kids, pick up your fucking bags! - Asian chicks
When I see a white girl with nice hair usually it’s accompanied by a nice face. But nope, not the case with asian girls. There are asian girls that can have perfect hair, perfect legs and a nice butt to boot and as soon as you walk past them and take a peep behind your shoulder your heart just sinks. So how does this work in relation to trains? Well, you sit behind some chick and you know, she looks quite nice from behind, you then spend the rest of the trip pondering on what she would look up fron the front, she or you finally get up to go and take a quick look and bam! Imagination is out the window. What’s worse is if they’re some 40 year old. *shudder* I have to say a lot of asians look better from behind. Oh snap.
I think that’ll be all for the moment. I’ve probably missed some…meh, if you have any more leave a comment and make me happy =D
Off topic: Girls, if you’re going to put on a skirt that is teeney weenie too short, don’t bother trying to pull it down in an attempt to save your dignity, you lost it as soon as you decided to step out of the house.
To OS X
Apr 30th
So I’ve finally made the switch to OS X completely. Now my main monitor is connected to my laptop whilst my 2nd monitor is connected to my PC.
PC is more or less a file “server”.
Here is a pic of my tri-display. Generally I get the “wow that’s so cool” response from girls. When it comes to guys though I get the “meh” response. Guys seem to turn everything into a competition regarding the size of their penis.
“Well I had a longer penis tri-display earlier!”
“Have you seen blah’s penis displays?”
“My penis size display setup could be as awesome as that…I just choose not to”
Guys, it’s okay, it’s not a competition.
Oh and 10 points for the first person to get the reference in the picture. There’s actually 3 references…but I’m thinking of one in particular. So if you want to guess, leave a comment 
I have my keyboard/mouse setup through synergy. So basically, my mouse keyboard is still connected to my PC but I can control my macbook seamlessly. Cool huh? (IT Guys: No not really, I’ve done that like a billion times before)
Then I had a problem. Whenever someone used the wireless, synergy would just lag hardcore. Bummer. Solution? Bridge the connection between my Mac and PC. I always wondered “Why the hell does my PC have two lan ports?!”. Today I was grateful I had two. Sharing my internet connection in Windows was extremely easy. A couple of clicks and *poof* internet on the mac. Now there’s no lag. Happy days!
I now need to work out how to get the keyboard shortcuts and extra mouse buttons working in OS X.
Command-tab should also need to be fixed, likewise for the behaviour of the “Home” and “End” keys. Driving me insane.
Did you find any of the above funny/interesting?
If you got this far without losing interest then I’m pretty impressed, so here’s some non-IT stuff.
I told a particular someone that if I were to fail honours, I would not regret it. Why? Well, I could still graduate with Computer Science and Technology (Advanced). “But then wouldn’t you have wasted a whole year?” they asked.
No. I’ve met more people this semester than I have for the past 2 years. No joke. It’s probably due to the fact that I actually a joined a society outside of IT. Through meeting people you learn a lot, things that you will never realise by yourself.
I also realised my perception of people changes really quickly. Within a couple of minutes I went from “This guy seems like a douchebag” to “This kid is actually pretty cool”. I’m not too good with first impressions but it’s a good thing, I like surprising myself when people turn out different to what I expected.
Anyway, I’m tired going to sleep.
I wish you would stop confusing me.
Cannot tell
Sep 11th
I check the statistics of my blog every now and then it makes me wonder sometimes if a real person is going through my posts progressively or if it’s a web crawler. Unfortunately, wordpress doesn’t track IPs so I can’t tell if it’s a bot. Funnily enough “someone” or “something” visited my Epitome post. The title is actually meant to be Epiphany although Epitome doesn’t sound too off-topic of a title so I guess that’s the reason as to why nobody pointed it out. In addition, I tend to have extremely random blog titles so people might have just ignored it like they have with my numerous other posts. However, the more likely reason is that they simply did not think too much into it.
I find that as the years go by the amount of things to write about decreases dramatically. Back in High School, I would make constant rants about anything that I found annoying or interesting. Then Uni came and it became somewhat more problematic as I had two different sources of readers, and my less than obvious references would generally leave at least one crowd scratching their heads. Now, I tend to get more visitors from strangers than I do from people I know. However, those visitors generally visit my “Tutorial” posts but even then, they might take interest in a typical post like this.
So the question is, what the fuck do I write about?
I’ll talk about something I haven’t talked about in a while.
People.
How often do you guys judge someone within the first few seconds of meeting them? You might judge them by their race, clothes and/or initial contact. How strong is the first impression?
I tend to react quite strongly depending on how the first impression goes. However, first impressions can change sporadically, might change during the second meeting, it might be a gradual change…it might even be a change after several years.
Not too long ago I was placed under a rather inconvenient situation (which I shall not mention as it may release the identity of several individuals), instead of attempting to help me figure out what to do, my friend of many many years decides to emphasise on my stupidity. It’s sort of like yelling at someone for tripping over a step, they don’t intend for it to happen, it just happens. What I found interesting was that this other fellow who I rarely talk to decides to go out of his way to help me. It’s moments like these where I tend to step back and conduct a bit of re-evaluation.
Varying circumstances also lead to re-evaluations. What does this mean? Well, have you ever been friends with someone simply because it benefited you? I cannot express the number of times this has happened:
Friend: I’m gonna tell you something, just don’t tell anyone else.
Me: Sure, why would I tell anyone? I mean…who’s there to tell?
Friend: Exactly, that’s why I’m telling you this.
It shits me so much. Might as well not tell me, not like I have any impact on the matter. As soon as your circumstances change, your so called friend won’t bother coming to you for anything. Let me ask you computer geeks this…if you never had any pro skills, would some people still bother talking to you? I’m sure you all have PLENTY of contacts who only talk to you when their “computer dies” or “internet dies” and you just want to scream at them for being such an idiot. On a side note, I absolutely HATE it when people come to me and say that their “computer is slow” when they really mean the “internet connection”. Not too long ago I got asked “So…can you hack into computers and stuff?” after I told them my degree is IT.
I’ll probably just leave it at that for today.
