Apparently, chicklet wants to know when I turned 18. I turned 18 over 2 months ago; Sept. 30th.

I have bought, for a grand total of 600$US, a new laptop. Not just any laptop, a good laptop. The Acer Aspire 5102, with a 120GB hardrive, 1 GB DDR2 RAM, AMD Turion 64 TL-50 X2, a built in webcam, and a 15 inch screen.

So I slept the entire flight, including the layover in Baltimore. I do have access to a computer, as you can tell, but I wont be on too much.

Do you think I should keep going? You got a little blond guy in some laboratory, and …

Java Problems

I've got a beautiful simple encrypter/decrypter that uses an 8-digit hexidecimal value (12 decimal value). It works great, oh so fast. Much faster than anything in GM.

To put it nicely, it encrypted a 5mB file in less than a second.
