the topic is Chunbukyo

customization and creative commons.
i wish everyone would just do the right thing. it is something i icould not live with for a long time. i tried my best not to judge people based on looks and in effect cared very little for my own. this led to very little action for my little buddy.
well i have begun to care more and have decided to give up this need for everyone to do the right thing. the one thing i have decided not to give up is on my own actions which will always be based on doing the right thing. i am down with all the mumbo jumbo about creative commons because it is based on the notion to do the right thing.
as you can tell i have changed some of the visual aspects of the blog from pixels to percentages. it feels a lot better now that i am not wasting so much space. america loves to waste space but i dont and i can still do the right thing for myself and change the width of this site.
not only for myself but for my future...i will not waste space on the sides of a website.

the GNU manifesto
how do i feel about "free" software? I think it is the way to go. i believe in it and feel it is my ethical duty not to care about any copyrights and what not regarding software and operating systems.
it seems college is the breeding ground to the belief that sharing is caring but for all the people living on campus it is a different story. in order to get internet you must let the university check your operating system to see if it is pirated software.
in order for me to bypass this a few years ago i had to use my friend's laptop to register my room's internet connection so i could use mine with a firewall. i believe i had to use my friend's laptop more than once to keep my internet connection. the university was very sneaky by stating the reason they wanted to check our operating system was to make sure we would not harbor any "viruses."
bittorrent has been a lot of help. you can find almost anything there...except an actual computer. i have not used it for a while but i do still benefit from my previous uses. i guess this is the ultimate "neighbor to neighbor" help you can get. at least we dont have to waste CDs and DVDs to create official copies to be sold in huge boxes so we cant steal them from the stores...well the boxes are smaller now.
since i am looking to be a novice programmer myself i would think i would care for copyright privileges but i dont. my work is based more on design so i guess i wouldnt know what it really feels like for all those programmers working in norcal.
thinking about flash makes me feel selfish. i feel glad there is a separate source file. although it is easy to learn and there are a lot of actionscript help out there it makes it a lot harder to copy exactly the same transitions as the one you see in front of you. atleast you have to do it yourself.
in the end would i care that much? i guess i wouldnt be into flash as much or maybe i would. i am still trying to learn javascript with as much enthusiasm and i have learned html/css accidentally by using dreamweaver for too long. but now that i know html/css i would rather write the code myself than use dreamweaver. it also seems having these skills are still of good use when finding jobs even though they are open source.
with all this talk about the little programming that i know i must state that i feel much more like a designer than a developer. my back end skills are wack. my front end skills are what i am proud of and although designs are always open source and copied just knowing that i came up with the design myself has been good enough thus far.

acs and the garden of forking path
finally my account is working. does it really take that long to reset an account? 2 weeks? after 4 different visits to apm which included 2 discussions of what was wrong with the same person who was very old and wrinkled; he/she finally fixed the problem after i told her the same problem multiple times.
are we really in college? maybe it was because he/she was in college before there was ever a computer. maybe acs should not hire people that do not know how to fix computers/networks.
does acs stand for ac stupid? i cant really think of anything else nor do i want to spend time thinking of it.
so after reading the garden of forking path i have relearned that he invented the hypertext novel though he never wrote his own novel. I didnt quite understand the literature and was lost very often. from some chinese guy to madden i didnt really understand how football had to do with anything he began writing about.
was that the entire point? to go from one point to another? am i just making this up to feel just a little educated. was i too dumb to understand? i hope i was just too sleepy to keep up. in the end madden was known to be a captain and the chinese guy was some kind of an author that gave up his lineage to write a book. i would not have the balls to give up an easy life for my own goals.
