so better day, yes
Post-script to yesterday.
The Bad (1 new item)
1.) Cavity. Hurts. Hate.
The Good (3 updated items)
1.) Ipod and headphones reappeared. I seriously almost started crying.
(to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
svmadelyn and eleveninches: Yes. Really. It was on teh floorboard of the car. With two dollars in cash I used to buy a breakfast taco. Life better!)
2.) Bought cute work outfit at Calvin Klein outlet in blue. Seriously. I felt better just watching my checking account go down. Did not find the coat I wanted. *grim* But I will.
3.) Laptop - one data error today but no bluescreen of doom. All I need is Colonel John to last until February. Then I can buy a new one and transfer everything and name him John Sheppard II. Currently pricing Dell Vostro (seriously, that one is--really surprisingly good. I topped out all features on the 15 inch widescreen and came in at under 1700 really easily, and that includes 4 G of RAM. Also refreshingly free of trialwear. I've bene looking for reviews on it, because I just can't get over how very, very affordable it is.)
Random Exercise
Try this. I dnd't know this before.
Go to Dell website and pull up a model. Any model. Say Vostro 1500 or XP whatever. When you open it, you see the basic, the whatever, the whatever, and the premium. Now interesting thing. Go in and configure each one of those to teh same exact specs. I did Vostro 1500 on a whim and here are the results from this webpage:
This is seriously cool to me.

Cool.
*g* To entertain myself, I used these same configurations in a Inspiron.

Total Price Before Rebate: 1520
Total Price After Rebagte: 2102
(This one does come with a subscription to McAfee, I think, and with other random software attached, but nothing we cant' get pretty much for free.)
I have no idea what I've learned except that:
A.) I am anal.
B.) It is fun to configure systems.
4. And randomly, for those who want to see what I was working on for C++ class.
Actually, it is funny; I can't use this one for my project. I showed the eleven pages of code to my professor, who slow-blinked and asked me to please, please turn in just the basic model and not the one of multiple experiments in random booby-trapping a game.
This is Rock, Paper, Scissors, player against the computer.
Click to open directory
Right click and save versioncheatwithissues.exe.
It's pretty self-explanatory as-is; the only noticeable thing is that I put in a lot of code to force certain answers.
Now the fun part. Don't scroll down if you want to try to figure out three modifications I did to practice nesting while loops and sentinel numbers.

From:Also, if you want (and someone else hasn't pointed them out already), there were a couple of bits that you might want to edit. It wasn't any broken logic, just a couple of cosmetic changes.
But loved this prog. *g*
