Greetings masses, and...*sigh* forget it.
« on: October 24, 2008, 12:51:59 AM »
Uh, hi, my name is Jai... and I hope I am a geek.

Actually I don't know, how do you define a geek? *asks wikipedia*

Quote
The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, etc." Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs.

Yes, I most definitely am. Anyway hi.

I like software like photoshop and finale and flash and vlc and firefox and...uh...blender...skype, itunes, gimp. I like software.
I'm a musician, an artist, a developer...in my spare time...

*sigh*
languages I know to an extent of somewhat:
I'm pretty good at HTML 4.0, I'm not learning it anymore...
I'm OK at actionscript 2.0, but when I try to code my own games I cant because I'm not good enough...
I'm pretty good at english too...I guess I was raised speaking english...
as well as some german...
I'm learning C++....
i thought I knew more than that...? oh well.

I live with my mother, which is acceptable for a 13-year-old...which I am. You may ignore this.

Nobody cares, I know. This post has no importance.

HELLO!

I take a three or four-month hiatus, and my first post upon returning is showering praise on an introduction thread, woo!

But I confess, I do feel a little.. flattered someone noticed I hadn't been visiting as much! :D

Photoshop is expensive! Where did a 13 year-old get $700? Are you selling drugs to buy photo editing software?

Edit: Why was that hyphen in there? Get out hyphen!

Oh yeah, welcome new person.

My recommendation-to make really awesome websites, learn CSS.  HTML is cool and all, but it is rather bland without CSS.

Drugs would explain all that sighing. He's crashing.

He is not sampling his own product!  He sells drugs that he makes, then he buys drugs from other people that cost more than he sells his!  Duh!

Of course, if he does sample his own product, drug baron is the perfect description.

I bet he hopes his parents do not read this...

Father-"How is that new forum you signed up for, son?"

Son-"Oh just great.  Apparently I sell drugs, sample my own drugs, and I buy drugs from other people."

Father-"Have I not taught you anything?  When dealing with drugs, you do not sell the drugs you make to other people and then buy some too!  13 years of mentoring for nothing.  Yeesh."

According to Urban Dictionary:

"The term "geek" originally referred to the carnival performers whose act consisted of biting the heads off chickens and eating glass. Over time it came to be applied to anyone who got paid to do work considered odd or bizarre by mainstream society."

I am terribly sorry, but I tottaly missed the relevance in that statement.  :wink:

I am terribly sorry, but I feel very stupid.

You could have quoted him... ;)

According to answers.com:

Quote
A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.

Masses?
Are you calling us all fat? Are you saying our mere existence distorts the curvature of space-time?

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.
