I've been working on a new website recently!It's like blogger, only made by me (lol), you should totally check it out. I think I'm going to go start my posting over there since I'm not at A&M anymore (which makes A&M CompSci Live a misnomer).Check it out!http://www.FollowerofJC.com~Adam

Happy New Year!So I'm sitting in my office, listening to XM radio (Frank's Place), sipping Dr. Pepper with my litecube, thinking about 2006. The end of a great year and my college education (just graduated from A&M with a computer science degree and a minor in business) has finally come and I'm trying to figure out how to start this new life.¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø¤º°`°º¤2007

Now, I know what you're thinking..."Where the heck has this guy been!??!?"...Sigh... I've neglected yet another special someone. My online fanbase. ;-)So, to my two readers (mom and dad), I send you this:I installed Vista RC1! And it plays games (kinda) and it runs faster (kinda) and it's very user friendly (kinda) and AMD64's now have a reason to brag about their processors! (ok, that was just a

Moo.ajax TutorialDownload Source Preview ExampleHi all, I know how everyone wants a moo.ajax tutorial and since I just finished redoing an old ajax website to use the moo libraries, I figure I can type it up really quick.First of all, Ajax.As you’ve heard a million times, ajax is simply the ability to communicate with your webserver without your user being required to wait for the response or be

Flash DanceFinally! Adobe has done what Macromedia never would have dreamed of!!The newest version of Flash (Flash 8) has some of the best new features I never would have thought of adding AND (very important) the greatest features that were left behind in previous builds (famed v.5)!Vector to ObjectWhy did Macromedia never think of this? For those of you who programmed in flash back in version

CopyrightIt's really a funny word, huh? Copyright...Hmmmmm... :-)So... how far can you push an "idea" before it becomes a copyright infringement?Here is a sample of my next website I'm planning on making."Do you like my Idea?""Of course," Microsoft says, "We thought of it first!"It is kinda duplicating the "idea" from the next windows vista. I really love where Microsoft has taken this next build

Hello!Can it be? Is it true?!? Yes! A new post!(and a bunch of goodies, too!)First, things first,I am sorry for taking so long to post. I was bogged down with school work/finals. I had five finals (One I didn't know I had until three hours before!) and an OS project due on finals week!Now to open the box...Pandora's Box, that is...Pandora is a website that is dedicated to delivering music

Howdy All!Well, my current job with the university is going well. I get to meet a lot of professors and researchers. It's pretty cool. The other day I saw a guy sitting outside my office. He was working on his laptop. Now, I really like looking at other compsci major's computer setups. It says a lot about the nerd. This guy was using litestep instead of explorer.I was shocked!The last time I used

Well, I just finished "FEAR" the gameHOLY COW!!!!That was one of the most incredible games I have ever played through!You can say tons of stuff about the game-play music, and graphics... but I want to focus on something that many game developers seem to forget...THE STORY!The whole time I played FEAR I kept getting "enlightened" to the story.It is one of the deepest, richest stories I have ever

It's time to get funkay!I got the atom feed set up on my blog (it was REALLY hard! --you check one check box, lol).Now you don't have to check the website for updates, you can use your own RSS reader to "Auto-Check"!If you don't have a reader, may I suggest the very free, slightly buggy, Google Reader?You don't have to install anything on your system, and its interface if very slick.

So I was in HRBB 220,Which is the best lab on Texas A&M Campus, and I was informed about a few new resources which are pretty nice. I was planning on just relaxing after my awful Acct 209 test, but the TAGD nerds (who have recently become my friends) were showing off their code and also some awesome websites on the internet.BugMeNotProblem:ok, so this has happened to all of us who use the

Sigh,After 6 hours of coding on Friday, 14 hours straight yesterday and 7 today, I am finally finished (in case you didn't catch that, it's 27 hours total).I'm listening to: Geto Boys - "It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" bobbing my head to the heavy beat.I AM OFFICE SPACE.I think I'm going to start work on a new movie."College Space"homework hooversIt'll be a horror/Comedy;-)Here's a little piece of

..::Energy Drinks::..This is a short little post ranting over some of the most memorable energy drinks I've had.note: Understand that I just pulled an all-nighter studying for my database exam and doing other homework (cpsc 332), so my grammar and english will not be the best.So far I'm living off of an AMP, a Monster and a Full Throttle.Yes, Amp.

Yup, yup, yup.So I got a new job. I'm working with the Computer Science Department, under the director of communications. This means I'm an administrator... :-DOh yeah. Power... authority... I love it!I have permissions to so much now! As a administrator, I can get into the super sweet labs (I'll be posting pictures of the differences soon). I also manage the Computer Science Departmental website

Howdy all!It's been... a very long time since I last said anything up here... So here goes.I'm currently studying for my Computer Science 410 (Operating Systems) Test.It's going to be a booger.Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. I got two letters in the mail, one post-it-note "Happy birthday mi amigo", one "E-card" and a whole LOAD of facebook notes and IMs.All my friends in Walton hall want to take

Well, my girlfriend and I went up to Canton, Texas on Saturday. Now I know that I promised that I wouldn't post any cheesy stuff about emotions and junk, so you'll just have to trust that this story gets better than "My girlfriend and I went shopping".Because it does.We drove for four hours from College Station and got lost numerous times. We saw hawks, horses, and cows... then we saw bluebonnets

Howdy all!I thought I would take the time to post up one of my website's I made for work.This was created for my boss's wife's company.I decided to go with a sleek Old Navy-ish design.Check it out here.Here's Old Navy's Website (A huge influence on this design)I do wish I had used flash on the project... at least for the index page, but there wasn't a huge reason to use it, so I kept it

Howdy all, Here's a cover I made yesterday for my current day job.I work for Virtualbookworm.com.All in all, it's a good job. I really like coming in every day with something new to do (makes it easier to not get bored).Classes are awesome here at A&M. I wish all colleges were like this... then I'd go to school back home! ;-)I'll post some pictures of the beautiful campus later.I think I'm also

I hope to show everyone all the fun work I do as a graphic artist!! Here is a recent project I had with "Cristel Telecom".I had a lot of fun creating this ad for them... it had some very interesting edits (the keys on the second phone were orignally reversed LOL)This is a cristel ad I made... I had a 48 hour deadline! :-)
