Confusing math…
I came across this a few times. They say once you go into Calculus, it’s understandable, but me having not gone that far, find this pretty strange…
x = 0.99999…
10x = 9.99999…
10x-x = 9.99999……[More]
One Equals 0.99999...
Things That Are Funny
Funny quotes, funny facts, weird headlines, and more!
Here you will find a compilation of silly things I find on the net. This includes quotes, facts, jokes, and more. Only good stuff is put here (as usual on this site ). Useful if you happen to work on the the school newspaper or something.This list is always growing. If you happen to find any you consider really good, feel free to send them to me. Please keep it clean.
Photo Competition
Sorry been fading away lately. Very busy meself.
However, I did have time to create a photo montage, but only because that’s an assignment given by my art teacher. The photo will be submitted to a competition. This is my first time using Photoshop to edit photos. Constructive critisism would be great.
Barely Made It Back
Bah, last time I’m riding a plane for a long time. First we get delayed because the co-pilot got stuck in a traffic jam. Then the plane arrives late for the connection and we barely make it in time for the next flight. When we finally get home, the luggage is missing! They say they’ll deliver it to our home as soon as they find it. Shame I had pretty much everything in there. <_<
Spring Break
Gonna be gone the entire spring break. I might drop in once in a while depending on if I have internet access where I’m at - though I probably won’t stay on long enough to do anything. Please do not email me during the break unless it’s really important - I don’t want to browse through 5 pages of junk when I get back. Thanks!
France Releases All UFO Info
France puts secret UFO archive on web
Found this article. Looks like the government is, for certain, hiding some things afterall. It’s a pretty interesting read and summary of what exactly is on the site. There’s access to every single UFO-related case in France - so definitely something you can dig through if you like that sort of stuff or you’re bored.
The site takes forever to load though (probably because it is very popular at the moment; Yahoo states it is receiving tons of visitors at once). Also, the entire site is in French.
Tree Warriors
And so the tree deployed its minions, the grassblades, against the evercoming rebels. The men roared and screamed at the sight of the seemingly infinite number of enemies before them. At last, they realized to their horror; they were painfully outnumbered.
But fear not! For the rebels had been well prepared and a secret weapon was at their disposal. One of the lowly rebels scurried quickly and returned with the long awaited... lawnmower. And with this lawnmower, the rebels advanced, plowing through the endless fields of grass, charging through flying grassroots and chunks of dirt and mud.

Fort Wars Almost Lagfree
After a few hours work, I’ve managed to create a single trigger (opposed to the original 30) that controlled every single spawn line. Originally, each spawnline had its own constantly looping function, and each player had his/her own set. You’d have around 30*Players number of looping triggers every moment.
Now I managed to combine them all, so you have only 1*Players, a maximum of 8 at any given time on an 8 player map. This should drastically reduce the lag of any Fort Wars game.
Hopefully I finish 3.1 soon and release.
Boy's Scream Kills Hundred of Chickens...
Article: Boy’s Screaming Kills Chickens
That’s just one of the weirdest things I’ve read in a long time. Apparently, a dog scared a boy, who in turn screamed and scared hundreds of chickens to death. Sounds like something right off of Jelly Pickle.
Fort Wars 3.1 Fixed!
Tried a few more times to fix what I had already. First game went well until 20 minute mark and it synced out. The rest of the games synced out within 10 minutes. I went through and redid all the changes from 3.0 onward again. So far no problems - but that’s a serious lost of time wasted on the damn problem.
Fort Wars 3.1 Out of Sync
Everything works fine in single player and 1v1. File is short, instructions are brand new, tons of new features.. but always out of sync. Unfortunately can’t find what exactly is causing this. I’m afraid I’m going to have to start from 3.0 again and edit from there. Wish me luck!
kb Commands in AOE3
I’ve just took some time to actually try my hand at learning kb Commands. Surprisingly it isn’t that hard (it looks confusing and there are close to no resources or references for it), and opens a whole new set of possibilities for scripting. Some guy named TwentyOneScore found these years ago for Age of Mythology, but from what I saw, it seems like no one bothered to take up on his findings. Very sad that this has remained buried for so long - like hidden treasure :p
Programming
What do I use to program? No fancy programs here (you otherwise aren't writing your own code and technically NOT programming!)... I only use Notepad2; it is basically the Notepad included on all Windows computer, with highlighting to make code easier to read. Very nice when you are editing files with over 5000 lines of code :p Many thanks to Elpea and Matei for recommending it to me.
Currently I'm fluent in:
