Let It Be

So I've decided to name every post after a song I like. I shall make this a competition, whoever is the first to write a comment on the band who sings said song will win one point. Now, these points won't really mean anything. They will just let me know who is reading these posts and allow me to pick my favorite sibling (as I'm assuming only siblings and parents are reading this). I will try to make it really generic songs that everyone should know but its not that hard to use google, I mean come on.



On a different subject, the weekend is over which means I'm done with work, yay! It was a good weekend at work. There actually wasn't a day that I didn't want to go in. Which is unusual cause I usually dread going in, at least once during the four day span. Oh well, I'm not complaining. There isn't much else going on with me right now. My roommate is already going back home next weekend so if anyone wants to come visit, I have an extra bed in my dorm for the weekend. Just let me know before you come so I can clean a little. Haha.


So like I said in my last post I didn't know what to talk about cause everything I do no one will understand. Well I've decided to just go ahead and talk about it cause thats me and if you don't want to read about it skip it. Well lately in hobowars, I've been training like crazy! I'm almost at 12,000 total battle stats and half of that is speed! Which is really good, also 5,000 of it is power, which for those who don't know, means I get lots of really powerful hits during a battle. Which is the best way to win! So I'm excited about that. Also another accomplishment in hobowars is on the original (there are three versions, hobowars1, hobowars2, and facebook hobowars) I play hobowars1 and facebook hobowars. But in hobowars1 I am still a n0ob and very weak, but I was able to finish the first set of adventures. Which is a very good accomplishment. That about does it for hobowars.



Like I said before, I have been teaching myself Java, specifically GUI, or graphical user interface. Basically what you do is take words and create graphics. It's a rather hard concept to grasp. So I've taught myself how to create a window with stuff within this window. Here is the code behind it:

import javax.swing.*;

class hello {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame("YO!");
JPanel p = new JPanel();
JButton b = new JButton("Click Here For A Virus");

p.add(b);
f.setContentPane(p);

f.show();

}
}


So it might look a little confusing to the untrained eye but it really is very basic. Here is a picture of what it produces.










As you can see it makes a frame/window and then I created a button inside the frame and chose what to have the button say. I'm now working on making it actually doing something when the button is pushed. So I still have lots to do.


Thats it for now, thanks for reading and until next time, adios.

So it begins....

I have decided to join in on the fun of blogging. I guess I figured that this is how I keep up with everyone and it only seems fair for me to do the same, so people know whats going on with me. Also I figure I can update more than other people who do this, coughdanielcough, coughmariahcough. Excuse me, had something in my throat.


So not too much has been happening with me lately, I moved back to school almost a month ago and I already miss everyone. I had a fun summer being with my older siblings and learning more about them. It was very helpful to me in the hard time I was having. It's been hard on me lately, seems I can't catch a break, seems anything that could have gone wrong went wrong. I understand that there is always someone out there with more problems than me but sometimes it just sucks.


On a positive note, I am making a lot of new friends so I'm not completely alone here. I have met a lot of people through work, which is nice cause its not always fun hanging out with Awbrey and Amanda. They are my best friends but it can only be so fun when hanging out with a couple, let alone a married couple. Not too sure what else to talk about, I could talk about HoboWars but no one except Crystal would know what I'm talking about. I could talk about the Java programming I've been teaching myself but no one would understand that except maybe daniel. I don't know, maybe something will come to me if I just keep typing. Though it seems I'm just rambling on and on but hey, isn't that what blogging is? I don't know. Well thats it for now. Until next time.
