I sold my Macbook yesterday. The monitor was cracked from New Years and I needed a laptop. I sold it to a really cool guy in Kingston who was from Australia. He bought it for $400 so he could install it in his car. Pretty neat haha.
Anyway. I went and bought this :

Its got really good specs for the price and runs really smoothly. Even with Vista I haven’t had any problems at all except Call of Duty not responding to my keyboard (you can’t move) but I’m going to be putting XP on it for games anyway. I don’t want to be a Windows user more than I have to be though so I’m going to try to find a cracked Leopard disc online to install. Its hard to find one for AMD though.
Anyway. That’s whats new.
God bless.
More Thoughts
If I’m created in the image of God does that give me permission to build my own universe? If I can program a Universe and have taken into account every possibility am I living up to that title of being created in His image? The more I think about programming and God and the world the more I want to make a perfect simulation. I keep thinking about things I can incorporate and I know I could pseudo code it but I doubt that for a while I’ll be able to actually code it (due to restrictions within computers). But who knows.
One thing I can’t figure out is how to program freewill. Intellegence is easy because its just memory. Personality is a tad trickier but it can be done. But how do you program free will? That’s one thing that escapes me.
I also don’t know how to go about the UI aspect of it. My universe will probably just be text based but very in depth. Like to the atomic level. I’ll be starting with atoms inside time and working upwards to individual cells and the laws of physics. I’ll keep posting.
Keyboards are gross
Like really gross. Look at yours. Its probably gross. The crap in the keys. Blah.
I want my rubber keyboard. I don’t know why I don’t bring it to work. its clean. This one’s far from it.
Guess what! We’re all programs. I’ve decided and I’m sure of it. The human DNA takes up 3 GB of space and is essentially written in binary. Its made up of 4 amino acids which can only be paired specifically, meaning only 2 combinations. This is just like binary with its 1s and 0s. So that means that the whole DNA of a human could be said to be a program written in binary. That’s really cool. I’ll post more thoughts on the subject as they come.
