Its the end of September so it is time to recap my

Its the end of September so it is time to recap my sweepstakes wins for the month. To bad I don't have any wins to write about because I did not win this month. In fact I have not won a prize since August 11. Six weeks I could not believe it when I looked it up. Poor me, poor me :).

This is the second month this year I have not won anything. In case you are wondering and judging by how many hits I get for my blog I know you are not the other month I did not win was January.

I won a prize every month last year but, this year the wins have dried up. There are a few months left in the year so maybe I will get a few more wins.

I suppose now I will have to see how long I can go without a win and not give up entering sweepstakes. I am not sure if this is the longest period I have gone without winning a prize but, it has to be to be close to the longest if it is not in fact the longest.

There are so many sweepstakes ending tomorrow

Today I looked through all the one entry sweepstakes ending on September 30 at sweepstakes advantage. And let me tell you there are a lot of one entry sweepstakes ending tomorrow. It took me hours to look through them all. But I enjoy the end of the month even thought I have to look at so many sweepstakes because I enjoy working hard and dreaming about the prizes I could win. That's it for to days boring post. Goodnight.

oh no silly might run out of ideas for blog posts

Wow I have been updating my blog every day for almost three weeks. I sure does not seem that long since I started blogging everyday again. I have had a good time writing over these past few weeks. But yesterday and today I am starting to have trouble coming up with things to write about.

I have things I want to post like images I make with blender, gimp, inkscape and wings 3d. I also want to see if i can post some animations I make with synfig and blender but, I have not had time to learn those programs good enough to make anything. I hope I make some images and animations soon. I also want to post some of the code I write in python or basic4gl but, have not had not written any programs yet. Sillys worried about running out of ideas for blog posts. Goodnight.

I don't know waht to write about today

I don't know what to write about today so I will start writing and see if I get any ideas. Maybe I will say again that I want to start finishing the things I start. I mean if I can enter sweepstakes almost everyday for two years I think I can finish the things I start. I wish I were as dedicated to learning how to programs as I am to sweepstakes because if I was I am sure I would be able to make a program or two or three. To end this short post I will say I want to make programs not just learn programming language. Sillys done goodnight.

I have been entering sweepstakes for two years

I did not write down the date I started entering sweepstakes seriously but, I am pretty sure it was some time in September 2007. I can't believe it has been two years already. I have won 59 sweepstakes prizes in that time. Wow 59 wins that is more than I thought, cool!!! I won 9 times in 2007, I won 35 times in 2008, and I have won 15 prizes this year.

I don't remember the first sweepstakes I entered that September. I do remember my first win which I wrote about it in a blog post. It was a tony stewart #20 hat. I have won a lot of prizes since then and I hope to win a lot more. Hopefully I will get a few more wins this year or there is always next year :) Sillys done, Goodnight.

why I switch from one programming language to another

Today I will write about why I switch from one programming language to another all the time. One reason is its so exciting to try out different programming languages. Compiling the hello world program in a programming language I have never used before is so exciting. Another reason I try to learn so many programming languages is because I think everyone else probably knows a lot of languages so I need to know lots of languages too.

And yet another reason is I want to look smart. I want people to say oh wow look how many programming languages silly supercoder knows. I want people to think this code is a mess lets get silly to fix it. Except I am not a professional programmer and I don't work with anyone so I am sure no one would call me to save the day. As it stands right now if I were a professional programmer some one would need to be called in to fix my messed up source code.

The biggest reason I try so many programming languages is because I am afraid I will fail. Its always easier for me to switch to another language rather then try to solve problems like the ones on project euler. I come up against a problem I can't solve and I think maybe I will switch to a different language.

The problem for me with changing which programming language I want to learn all the time is I never get past a certain level of knowledge about programming. I am always learning the same concepts over and over again. I never challenge my self so that I will learn more.

So in the end if I keep switching programming languages all the time I will never achieve my goal of making my own programs. Either that or I will be very old by the time I make my own programs. And by that time maybe computers will program themselves so there will be no need to write programs. Sillys done Goodnight all.

Why oh why do I not notice I am entering expired sweepstakes

Today when I was entering daily entry sweepstakes I noticed I had been entering two sweepstakes that expired several months ago. One sweepstakes ended in august so its not so bad I had only been entering it for a moth after it ended. The second sweepstakes expired in June. Three months how did I not notice the sweepstakes had ended. Oh well at least it was not a year. Its a good thing the two sweepstakes only took a few seconds to enter I cant imagine how I would fell if they to several minutes apiece.

I do not know why the sweepstakes did not get deleted from my bookmarks folder but, now they are deleted and that is great because I wont be entering expired sweepstakes anymore I hope. But who knows there might be more expired sweepstakes hiding in my bookmarks just waiting to be found. Oh the excitement!!

This is probably the forth time in about a week that I have found out I have been entering expired sweepstakes. Ah we all make mistakes don't we. Mistakes come in bunches like my sweepstakes wins(:

Entering expired sweepstakes is not as bad as entering a one entry sweepstakes daily which I have done at least once. I think it was last year. If I would have looked at the entry limit on the entry form the first time I entered I would not have entered it daily. But I can't go back in time so I need to get over it. Its not the end of the world, right. Good night from one mistake prone blogger.

I want to make make programs

Continuing with yesterdays theme I want to make programs. But usually instead of making programs I spend all my time attempting to learn programming languages. This is the year I want to know if I can actually program or not. Its put up or shut up time. I want to make programs so it is time I start creating programs. I want results!!

So what kind of programs do I want to make I asked myself? I want to make games came my response. So games it is. So with the idea of making games in mind I am learning basic4gl. And for the past three of for days I have been learning baic4gl by reading through the tutorials on the basic 4gl website. I don't know if I will ever be able to make programs but how will I know if I don't start making programs.

I have done it again

I have tried to take on leaning to many programs and programming languages again. I always do the same thing, I start out wanting to focus on learning one or two programs or programming languages and then suddenly I end up trying to learn a lot more things than I can handle at one time. I need to set limits, yes that is it limits.

Yesterday I made my new years resolution and to be able to meet that resolution I need to focus. If I don't learn every programming language there is that is OK, did you hear me silly, did you. Besides I want to learn more than just a programming language I want to learn how to make programs. Also I can do other things if I am not always try to learn so many programming languages like read more books, pick up a new hobby, or learn how to write. And I will repeat it again so I can remember it I need to focus and finish what I start.

I hope its not to late to make a new years resolution

I want to make a new years resolution in September. I always start a lot of stuff but, never seem to finish anything. For instance I have tried to learn a programming language, but have yet to lean one or make any programs. I want to make animations, but I have only made two. The bottom line is I want to change. I want to be able to make my own programs, I also want to make my own animations. I want to finish things I start. I have a few months to accomplish my new years resolution so I need to get going. That's all for today see you tomorrow.

I want to put animations I make on my blog

I want to post animations I make on my blog. I know I have said all this before but, this time I will do it, probably. So with that in mind today I installed the newest version of synfig on my computer. I want to make 3d animations with blender but, the 3d animations might be to big for me to upload and take a long time to render.

I have tried to learn synfig before but, I did not make it past two or three of the tutorials on the synfig website. I hope this time I will be able to learn how to make some cool animations using synfig.I also hope I actually follow through on leaning how to use the program. Wish me luck. Goodnight.

I can't wait to learn so html 5

I have said before on my blog that I want to learn xhtml or mybe I said I learned xhtml I don't remember but, anyway now I can't wait to learn html 5. I am sure I have have plenty of tutorials about html 5 bookmarked now I just need to read them and put up a website. Yes I am serious this time I am going to put up a website using html 5, css, and javascript. My goal is to create a website because that is what I want to do. It might not look good but, I will have made a website.

I am repeating myself again

I am repeating myself again but, I want to start making things instead of writing about wanting to make things. As I have said before probably a million times or maybe I have not said it before I can't remember. I want to make computer programs and I also want to make animations, and video games.

But no I don't make anything I just agonize about which programming language I should learn or which graphics program I should be leaning. I spend all that time thinking when I could have made something already if I had stuck to learning one language and one graphics program. I need to stop worrying about which programming language to learn and start making something. Make something silly, that is all I have to say to myself. Goodnight silly.

Depressing talk about failure

A few days ago I read a blog post on the blog illuminated mind about failure. As I was writing yesterdays blog post I thought I know what I want tomorrows blog post to be about that blog post I read. But as I got closer to writing today's post I thought I cant write about that what if I completely missed the point of the post and I look foolish or worse look like an idiot because I totally missed the point. But the heck with my fears I am writing what I want to write.

The post talks about failure. Specifically it says if you want to succeed fail more and maybe you will succeed with you goals or dreams. I think that is what it says although I could have failed to grasp the meaning of the article.

So after reading the the blog post I thought about myself. I think I worry about failing or making mistakes to much. I always think I have to be perfect I can't make a mistake or mess up, not me no way. But when I think about it I have failed a lot: I still can't programming after trying for years, my blog is not great, I have not put up a website, I don't win most of the sweepstakes I enter and the list goes on. And after reading the the post about failure I can't wait to fail more. hooray for failure. This blog post is a failure, goodnight.

Today its time for a little whining

Today its time for some whining. I have a ton of things I want to read and not enough time to read everything. My bookmarks folder keeps filling up with blog and website posts I want to read. Its the same with my email and PDFs. The stuff keeps piling up and I feel overwhelmed. Why do I want to lean so much stuff, why why.

I hope I will be able to get all that reading done or perhaps some of the stuff might get accidentally deleted from my hard drive. It sure would be nice to be able to read everything so I will give it my best shot and if I finish everything fine if I don't read everything fine too. Sillys calm now, goodnight everyone.

Today I want to talk about blogging

Today I want to talk about blogging. A while ago I said I just wanted to update this blog whenever I felt like it well I have changed my mind and now I want to update it everyday. Its fun writing even if no one will ever read what I write. Writing make me feel better. And I think writing every day makes me a better writer, I hope anyway.

Also when I updated my blog whenever I felt like it, it resulted in me not updating my blog for weeks at a time. I still don't have much to write about but, I don't care no one is reading my blog anyway. At least I hope no one is reading my blog.

I am sure I have written about inkscape becfore

I am sure I have written about inkscape before, but I want to write about it again so I am. I installed inkscape on my computer awhile ago, but did not not make anything with the program until a few days ago when I stated reading a guide on how to use inkscape. I had lots of fun making my first inkscape image.

So now that I am learning inkscape I thought to myself what do I want to use it to make images for. The first thing that came to mind was making images for a video game that I would make in love. Also I thought why not make images for my blog. So I have ideas on what I want to use inkscape for now all I have to do is learn inkscape.

My new hobby entering twitter contests

Today I an writing about twitter. I have been using twitter for several months now. I want to tweet more ofter but, I don't think I have anything interesting to write about so I just enter twitter contests. I suppose I could tweet about what I ate for lunch or dinner like I did my first week or two on twitter although I don't want to write about that stuff and I am sure no one wants to read about it either.

So back to entering twitter contests. I probably was not aware of twitter contests will I signed up for the site. I can't ever remember what the first twitter contest I entered was. But now I enter one or two twitter contests a day. I still have not won any twitter contest but, I hope I will win one soon.

oh yes, I also wanted to write about a website that I saw in the contest queens newsletter its called tweets and treats. When I saw the link I thought wow a website that lists only twitter contests I never thought those existed, I lean something everyday, yes I do. Now I just need to enter hundreds of twitter sweepstakes a day and the prizes will roll in, yay. Today's entertaining post is done thats all no more untill tomarrow, by by now.

I want to learn lua so I can use love

I am sure I have written this before but, I will write it again. I want to learn lua so I can use love to make an animation or a game.

I thought to myself why not learn lua you want to lean it so lean it already. It is probably to much to try and learn lua and c++ at the same time but, I will try to lean them both but unfortunately probably fail to lean either language and then continue to write on my blog that I want to make my own programs. How sad I know. But I can dream can't I.

So to lean lua I am reading programming in lua the first edition. I have probably tried to read the book once or twice before but, this time I guarantee I will finish it, maybe. If I lean lua and c++ I would like to lean how to embed lua in c++ that would be cool!!

Until tomorrow goodnight.

I am currently read sams teach youself c++ 3rd ed

Today I want to talk about programming so here it goes. I am currently reading sams teach yourself c++ in 21 days third edition. The book is about ten years old, but I have always wanted to finish it but, never have. I usually read up to chapter 17 but, quit there. So it is time to finish the book and time to actually finish reading a computer book. Yes sir, it is about time.

I know I keep saying it over and over again but, I really do want to make a useful computer program. I don't know if I will able to write that program in c++ but, maybe I can. Hopeful a year from now I will be able to write a small computer program that is useful or cool and finally gotten past just printing hello world to the console. I hope!!

I just finished reading blender basics

A few months ago I wanted to find some free books to read that had blender tutorials. I used a search engine and it took me only one search to find blender basics. I thought wow I have never heard of the book blender basics before. I am sure there are a lot of books having to do with blender that I have never heard of but, it surprised me that I had never heard of this one. So anyway I downloaded the book and have been reading it ever since.

Then a couple of days ago I did something that I usually never do with books that I download from the Internet and read on my computer I finished reading blender basics. Well most of the book. I still have not done some of the tutorials in the book, but I read all the way to the end. Yay for me!!.

I enjoyed reading blender basics because I learned a lot from reading the book. Now if I could just remember every thing I read.!!
