Well, I cannot really call it Alien Abduction.com… Actually the page’s true name is index.php LOL

http://geiodo.com/msl/index.php

lol, yup…. Just complete, utter, silliness LOL!

Actually, I have decided to integrate my PHP/MySQL learning into the website, have fun trying to convince the aliens to abduct you! Actually… the whole site is just a skeleton LOL, only the mainpage is operational. That, however, is soon to change, however I probably won’t update the post when it has lol.

So, yup, that is the theme… This is not actually a steal off of someone else, but I did do some searching, and found out that the exact same concept had all ready been done LOL.

Ok, so that makes for three LOL’s – wait make that four, in a single post! LOL! Wait…. Wow! Five!

With a little bit of searching (randomly lol) I found this!

It is apparently called a strand beest; That’s right, strand beest, not strand beast lol. The you tube video I was watching about it had a narrator who talks far to fast for the show’s own good, and I kept thinking tramphese…. I eventually gathered the wit to look at the description, and find out that it was actually strand beest LOL. After having found the REAL name, I was able to find the “Ted, Ideas worth spreading” video below. Apparently, this thing will be able to “survive” on it’s own on the beaches, and learn to navigate them. I am not so sure about the “learning” part, but surviving on its own looks pretty possible! It has a simple “brain” Which is around six – 8 (probably 8 as that is one byte), bits; Yup, it is binary, and mechanical. It has a strange water sensor (I am, sadly, I am unsure as to how it works); This sensor detects water, and tells the “Organism” to go the opposite direction. I am a bit skeptic about it simply reversing direction, as that would end up making it simply go back, and fourth. Also, Also it does not really fall under the category of an Organism……. However I just find it dang cool LOL. The mechanics involved in it are just amazing!

YAY!!!!!!! Hehehehhehehhe……… Well, I just recently (a few days ago) Got my VERY OWN MYSQL DATABASE!!! Yeah… Hehehe….. Ok, well for a programmer, that can be a big thing. Have you ever done a multiplication table? something like this:

Well, that is essentially what a database is, just a giant… GIANT spreadsheet. Except, there is a twist, each cell can contain a file! That, or around two billion letters of text…. hehehhehehe…. Yup, this is big for me!

Now, I am reading a pretty decent book (not THAT long, about an inch thick) on how to use PHP to control a database. Right now, I have not even gotten through the part that teaches me how to use PHP lol. I all ready know PHP, but I am reading through the ENTIRE book so that I can build the files it will need later on, and learn techniques that I may not have know before. In fact, it has been a bit of a jackpot on arrays! I knew what they were : a variable that contains multiple values, which can be accessed via a key, but I did not know I could make them in such simple ways, I can create an array, now, using one line of code (which has about 10 characters in it)! SImplicity is beauty in the programming world! Even cooler, is that the same length of code can be used to generate a n array as long as I want. It only creates an array containing a range of numbers (say 1-31) good for day-of-the-month selections, in fact, in about five lines of code, I can create a PHP script that iterates through the array, and turns it into a selection drop down! Imagine, only about ten lines of code instead of over thirty! Any who, I am just happy pappy happy yay! Hehehheh.. Yes, just very VERY happy about this… The use of a MySQL database will allow me to store data using a PHP, which I can get to work hand-in-hand with a video game I make in Unity. Lets say I create a system for making custom levels, I could possible make it an option to upload your level to the internet!! With a full understanding of MySQL, that would be an even closer possibility!

Welp, I have successfully posted two things in thirty minutes LOL!

Ok, well, I just find this funny… No… Hysterical!

Yeah… Well, even though it does not exactly look as though I am having the best time of my life, I am actually laughing on the inside. The reason I am not smiling, is because I am preforming a larsnick tradition, the larsnick anti-smile. We are professionals at NOT smiling. However, I need a bit of work, as proven by this photo:

NOTE: I am a BOY NOT a girl, a BOY. BOOOOOOYYYYYYY (I just have long hair lol)

And, thank god, I was not actually going for that style. It is late at the moment, so no picture of me as I am now. Maybe I will upload one later, when it is sunny.
