Last Day of Classes
Today was my last day of classes because I will be starting my internship Monday. I had my last final and am finished with everything (except one essay, which I really don’t feel like doing). The past two weeks were uber boring because in every class we literally did nothing (so many kids were missing because of WISE and APs). It’s strange knowing you don’t have to go to classes anymore, especially this early in the year. Don’t worry though, I’ll be in school Fridays just to hang out there to take care of some remaining work.
School LAN Party
This is awesome. Without mentioning names, someone hid TrackMania Nations on the share drive and we had an über LAN party during programming class. At the height of it’s popularity, there were about 10 people connected, which was cool for a while until the server started crapping out. And here’s why:
Doing some simple math, the game is about 300MB. So each time it is launched, it has to be loaded from S:\. Lets estimate that only 100MB of that 300MB got loaded. By the time we loaded a few levels, we’ll add on another 20MB. When all 10 players needed to load the same level, the server kind of blew up and lagged badly, so everyone’s game froze and we stopped playing. I’ll bet we sucked up a few gigs of bandwidth for this. And also, we kind of lagged up the entire school for 20 minutes. Oops. And the share drive kind of sucks because it consists of old hardware. So now we have to limit connections in the game (or play a less intensive game)
Last semester, the admins emailed our teacher and told him that we were using way too much bandwidth in class. Let’s see how long it takes them to notice now.
End of Spring Break
What a shame… Spring break is over: Here is a brief, undetailed recap that is not in sentence form (not that anyone cares).
Friday – Went to Evac and ate good barbecued food there. Saturday – Fairfield’s accepted students day (out in the cold rain). Sunday – people came over for dinner. Monday – Did nothing in the morning and then at 9 I drove Drob around Eastchester doing Eastchester-like things (Borders, etc.). Tuesday I fixed the ninja’s computer (turns out his video card wasn’t in all the way) and I had to reformat and get him wifi and whatnot. I also had a sore throat and that was the beginning of my sickness. Wednesday – Took a ride up to the Catskills and spent the day there. I was also sick… (cough, cold, sore throat was starting to go away). Thursday and Friday were boring. Saturday was also boring and Sunday I had food and then visited people for Easter. Monday I did nothing thanks to my dumb cell phone not ringing (thanks Verizon). Wait, I lied – I worked on some longterm work and things that needed to get done. And that was my break. So if anyone went away or did better things, good for you, I don’t care. No refund for you.

This post is designed to publicly humiliate a moron who registered three accounts on my website. These accounts have been registered by the same idiot: will – [email protected], willm – [email protected] and willmo – [email protected] Is there any need to have three different accounts on a stupid little blog?
Even though publishing these email addresses is probably useless (because anyone can make a fake yahoo account), I am doing this to prove that I will expose private information if you are a spamming asshole. Usually, the email addresses are not visible to the public, but I would like to personally acknowledge the fact that this pimp shizzle gangsta moron shouldn’t mess with Portfolioso. The accounts have been deleted and if the registration process continues to be abused, I’m disabling it.
