Status 10-13-08 "Status Update + Boredom"

The toughest part of Graduation Project, the research paper, is finally over. w00t! Less things to worry about now, so I have a lot more free time. I've been trying to learn how to work Maya, another 3d modeling program, but I cant seem to figure out the interface. I guess I'll just stick with blender3D because I have far more experience with it. Also, I seem to have gotten myself hooked on a free mmorpg called "perfect world." its actually pretty good looking and immersible for a free game and the first time I started it up I was impressed at the game's depth. Also also, Company of Heroes (by Relic, the same masterminds behind Homeworld and Dawn of War) is ridiculous. Try it out some time.

Yeah... So I was really bored today and I stumbled upon a website that supposedly tests your personality so I took one of the tests. Its surprisingly accurate in some areas while being slightly inaccurate in others.

"Stability results were very high which suggests you are extremely relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic."

"Orderliness results were high which suggests you are overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense too often of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun."

"Extraversion results were low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and secretive."

What the heck, I might as well tag a couple of people with this while I'm at it, so I'll tag:

Status 9-15-08 "Fall and Folding"
Well, I've been in school for a good 2 weeks now and its as boring and confusing as always. I've got a loaded semester as I have HN English IV, Graduation Project (Read: 10 page report), HN Calculus, and Marching Band. Engrish has been a breeze so far, The lowest grade I've gotten is an 87, and that's on a classwork grade. Senior Project is a pain, I've got 25 notecards and an outline due this Thursday (8-18-08) and I haven't started at the time of me writing this. Calculus is hard. Not only do I have to talk to a TV (we don't have an actual teacher, we do webcam sessions), I also forgot most of the basic stuff over the summer. Catching up is going to be fun...

Ever heard of Folding@Home? Hosted by Stanford University, its website is [link] . Its a distributed computing project -- "People from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved." -- that studies the folding and unfolding of proteins. Understanding this can lead to cures for cancer and diseases such as Alzheimer, so if your computer spends a lot of time idling, why not donate a few of your CPU's (or GPU's) cycles to Stanford so they can get one step closer to finding a cure for various illnesses.
