I have a Tumblr account now. It’s more of a place that I post stuff I come across that I like, but not really worth just posting a blog entry about it. It also makes a good depository for all of that stuff instead of having it take up hard drive space.
Don’t worry I haven’t [...]

Wireless irony
Dear library:
I spent countless hours here. Borrowed many books. And spent copious amounts of money on coffee in the cafe. However, there is a slight problem here.
The wireless signal sucks ass.
I don’t remember it being this bipolar until this semester started. The more ironic part is that the campus tech support is in the building [...]

Why is it that whenever I buy myself a shiny new toy, that a newer and shinier version comes out sooner after I purchase it?
For example, last year my dad bought me a MacBook for Christmas, since I was in dire need of a new computer. Not too long afterwards, Apple does a few hardware [...]

She tweets too
So, I have a Twitter now. Actually, I had it for a while, but I kinda forgot about it. Go there for more updates, since they’re will hopefully be more updated than posts on this thing. Not to worry, I’ll still post here since 140 characters cannot hold me!

No one told me that as a psych major I had to do math. Granted, it’s stats and not calculus, but it’s still math. And no one told me that there is an evil software program for stats just for psychology. And… it’s frikkin’ broken.
Apparently, psychologists thought they were above Excel or any other spreadsheet [...]

Government websites aren’t exactly known for being very user-friendly, but this kind of just baffled me. I was applying for my student loans via the New York state financial aid website and it had the usual system requirements for the best results concerning filling out the forms. Well, here were the internet browser options:
Internet Explorer
Netscape
AOL

I consider myself fairly computer competent considering the amount of time I spend in front of a computer. I’m no hacker and go into spiels about hard drives and whatnot, but I’m a little above average. And by average, I mean people who have no clue about basic computer knowledge such as how to install [...]

Farewell for three months
Good-bye, ResNet/Cisco Clean Access Agent. I’m so happy for stable internet for three months while I’m home.
I like knowing that I don’t have something stalking me and kicking me off whenever it feels like it. Better yet, at the start of each semester, I just love having to reinstall it every time. When I had [...]

I usually keep my phone on vibrate whenever I’m walking to and from somewhere or someplace where it would be annoying for a ringtone to go off. I usually have my headphones in whenever I’m going somewhere and usually it would be difficult to hear if my cellphone has gone off when I’m outside anyways. [...]

My printer is a spoiled brat
If you have one of those photo printers that have five ink cartridges, then you’ll probably feel my pain. Such as if you run out of the magenta ink cartridge, it’ll refuse to print anything out until there is a new magenta cartridge. Despite the fact that you only want to print out in black [...]
