I took the PSAT, but taking the SAT and SAT II is almost unheard of, at least in my part of Tennessee.

I also took the AP English Literature and Composition test, making a two out of five – something I’m perversely proud of, because it was the lowest score in the class. (Blame falls completely with the free-response questions [PDF].)

It seems the SATs are favored in the coastal states, whereas in the south and midwest ACT is more prevalent.

I took a handful of AP classes too. namely American history, Government, and Physics. Forget who my scores were though. I had the option of taking AP English, but took a dual enrollment class instead.

Quiz: Which is more shocking?<ol type='a'><li>The maintainer of Ubuntu Christian Edition finds child porn in a dumpster.</li><li>He has his laptop confiscated upon reporting said child porn – everything, not just the hard drive.</li><li>He then switches to Vista (see above link) upon reimbursement for said laptop and suspends Ubuntu CE.</li><li>A CE user blames the “perverted Japanese” for the child porn, which was downloaded by an American, and wishes God “send many disasters and spread death and destruction to their island of sin” – which, don’t get me wrong, is not the default CE response – before somewhat apologizing. (Subquiz: Approximately how many islands does Japan have?)</li></ol>
It’s worth mentioning twice that CE maintainer found the child porn and reported it like a good person.

Helllo everyone,
Just wanted to announce that we welcomed another child into our family today! Would post a link to the announcement picture (I have some good ones to use for it) but it is not made yet as the camera is still at the hospital and who needs more spammers with less than 400 posts posting links of a beautiful girl, eh?

So you decided not to take that evil writing component? I could’ve done without the science component too, which seemed more like reading comprehension anyway.

My scores were the same as yours, only with the science and math reversed. That English subscore was enough to get me out of freshman English (despite the AP results), so it would be interesting to see what it does for you.

Aw! She has pretty eyes, as well as a pretty name. (I have a thing for the Semitic languages.)

If each of your kids had one job, you could retire and still have twice the income. (I would suggest that they take up two jobs each, but they are just kids.)

They already have full time jobs driving their parents crazy. Or in the case of the now middle child - former baby, saying 'Baby No' and 'Baby Go', especially when HER daddy is holding the infant.

I am playing with PHP now after experiencing the need for a static navigational menu and dynamic content. Looks quite interesting. Thought I would get more out of it by looking around myself rather than asking Red or others "how do I do this?"

yeah php is nice. I have not touched it myself in a long time. Been coding mostly C# as that is what my game server uses. I'm not a huge fan of the language but it gets stuff done. I would prefer the program to be C++ as C# tends to hide very important elements that C++ gives you access to, such as memory management, pointers etc.

I was thinking of getting into programming again with Python. It’s pretty.

Yay for t-mobile. My phone, its like a mini computer, so when I took out my micro-SD card I bumped the battery. Reseting everything. But, thankfully because of t-mobile I just called up. Did some weird @10 command and they said i'll be getting all my data back anywhere from now to two hours.
I was ready to throw my phone at my wall since I had close to 600 contacts that would've been a pain in the ass to get back. Now I just wait, and hope I get all my important texts back.

I was just going to add to the Britney Spears Webring you started with your site Chris. There seems to be a complete lack of pictures or video on the web for the 'talent' section though,

I was working on a site of my own when I used rm -rf * within wrong folder.

Oops I did it again.

Imagine trying to save a Web page on your desktop and being told that you don’t have space. It turns out that, after unmounting my external hard drive, Ubuntu doesn’t always remove the folder that it was mounted on, meaning my hourly cron script will try backing up my hard drive to an empty folder on the same hard drive, doubling the used space. This is pretty easy to fix, but I’m still shocked.
