Well hello there!
How are you doing this fine Friday? I'm doing fine, thank you. Care to hear about today's lesson? Yes? Sure, I'd be glad to!
Okay, that opening came surreptitiously out of nowhere...Well. We started the repetition unit today, and to be honest, I was a little bored during class, because I'd finished the assignments a few weeks ago. I (re)learned some keywords (loop, exit when, end loop), and was assigned some homework (see Daily Log). Also, I learned that including an exit when statement is very important, because without one, one will be stuck forever in a loop repeating the same thing over and over again. Like forever standing in the shower.
Ahem. that was a joke derived form a comic strip we looked at in class today, that stated that a set of instructions on a shampoo bottle (lather, rinse, repeat) resulted in a programmer being late to work, due to the fact that the instructions were an infinite loop with no exit when statement. Hardy har.
Here are some additional pretty lame CS jokes if you're interested:
---
Once a programmer drowned in the sea. Many Marines were at that time on the beach, but the programmer was shouting "F1 F1" and nobody understood it.
---
What's the difference between Windows 95 and a virus?
A virus does something.
A virus does something.
---
So this programmer goes out on a date with a hot chick....
I found one of the comments to be pretty lamely amusing as well...

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

Two bytes meet. The first byte asks, “Are you ill?”
The second byte replies, “No, just feeling a bit off.”

Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest with God as the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight.
Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show his work. Visibly upset, Satan cries and says, “I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out.”
“Very well,” says God, “let us see if Jesus has fared any better.”
Jesus presses a key, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers.
Satan is astonished. He stutters, “B-b-but how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus’ program is intact! How did he do it?”
God chuckles, “Everybody knows… Jesus saves.”

I hope you enjoyed those. They were 100% not written by me, but were compiled from several websites (just visit the links in the jokes). Sorry, I don't have time to properly give credit to all the writers. And everybody knows that there's no way to find the true creator of a joke.
Have a nice weekend!
Grass. Lands. Ohnogeographyteststilllurkinginthebackofmymind.

Hmm... Was reading your previous posts, all the way from September.
ReplyDeleteThis is how I found your blog.
1. *YAWN* Bored... What should I do...
2. *Checks touque.ca*.
3. Hm... student work. I wonder how my fellow school mates are doing in class A and B.
4. Clicks a random name.
5. Oh my goodness. This is one fantastic blog. I'm following this.
Summary: Your blog is so good that peeps from other classes are following it.
The end

Haha, you flatter me. Honestly, my blog is just whatever random thoughts I come up with, nothing really special. It probably just seems interesting because 80% of the topics I talk about don't have to do with computers.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, keep it up with the daily comments! They motivate me to make my posts interesting, and I love reading comments. :)
Want to hear some more bad jokes? No?
ReplyDeleteOkay, here they are:
A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink. He asks the bartender what price it is. The bartender says:
For you? No charge.

What do you call Helen of Troy's night rider?
Nitrogen

Why did the man cross the Mobius strip?
To get to the same side!

Two hydrogen atoms were walking down the street, when one of them falls.
"Oh, no! I think I lost an electron!" he says.
"Are you sure," says the other atom.
"I'm POSITIVE," he replies.

What did the acorn say when it grew up?
Geometry!

Farmer A sells corn.
Farmer B sells potatoes.
What does Farmer C sell?
---
That's all I have for now. Anyone want to guess the last one? Or where I got the last one? No?
Kay, the answer is
"Medicine."
D'you know why? Farmer C --> Far-mer-cee --> Phar-ma-cy
: )
As a true Tyrrell Giftee would say, "WOW, AZZAM!"
ReplyDeleteThe CS must be getting to me, because I actually chuckled at the "positive atom" joke. Just another sign I'm going insane.
By the way, a certain bird told me that you have 100% in music??? LOL. Like a true Hermione, eh?
Tell me about giftees united. The posts there seemed to be by different people.
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing in CS? Are you finished all the repetition and substrings assignments? I am. Three weeks ago in fact.
Enjoying CS?
Zelin
Just to say one more thing, you should consider advertising this blog.
ReplyDeleteZelin
Giftees United is a blog consisting of some writers from my old school. We were in the Gifted Program, hence "Giftees United". Some of us went to TOPS, some stayed in high school gifted, and Hannah (from your CS class) and I came to IB.
ReplyDeleteCS is pretty easy. I've finished all the repetition, and I'm 1/4 done substrings. It's not that hard, but I'm too busy, and sometimes too lazy to just take initiative and finish them all. That's where we are unalike. :)
The only reason my mark isn't higher is because I don't pay enough attention to what I'm doing, and I've been pretty careless on what we've done so far.
Advertising? How so? Please elaborate. :)
Wow, this comment line is getting longer than your blog.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if you need any assistance with your CS assignments, I'd be happy to help.
Try the middle section of substring assignments. It's a bit hard, but nothing you can't handle.
In terms of advertising, think of a way to make more people read your blog.
Gifted program? WOW! Nice!
Zelin
Just wanted to add.
ReplyDeleteCopy and paste this code onto Turing.
Then use the mouse keys to control the circle.
var x,y : int
x:=100
y:=100
var chars : array char of boolean
loop
Input.KeyDown (chars)
if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then
y:=y+5
end if
if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then
x:=x+5
end if
if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then
x:=x-5
end if
if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then
y:=y-5
end if
drawoval(x,y,4,4,red)
delay(20)
cls
end loop
Oh! Oh! Oh! I absolutely HAVE to add these from music class. They're really bad. Like ACTUALLY bad, cause they aren't specific at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between a conductor and a bag of fertilizer?
The bag.
What is the perfect pitch on a flute?
The sound it makes when it hits the rim of the toilet and misses the bowl.
How do you get a drummer to play an accelerando?
You tell him to play at a steady tempo of 140 BPM.
What's the difference between a gorilla and a trumpeter?
A gorilla is more sensitive.
What do you get when you remove half a bass clarinetist's brain?
An even more gifted contrabass clarinetist.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Those are (terribly, ohohoho, get it?) fantastic. Let's just change the last one to whichever instrument the person I dislike plays,and voila, perfect!
ReplyDeleteFor a second, I thought the voila said viola. So I was momentary confused. Then I did a dyslexia check. And I realized that I failed. >_>
