The end of june

It's the end of June and the end of a lot of sweepstakes. It is always hard to enter all the sweepstakes that I want to at the end of the month because so many sweepstakes end. Hundreds of sweepstakes end at the end of each month, but I always get everything entered.

I had five wins in June two instant win and another three wins. Five wins is a big month for me. People win more than I do, but at least I won something. Some people win a lot less than I do so I should be happy to have won anything. Entering sweepstakes is a great hobby.

I only do online sweepstakes because I am cheap and do not want to pay postage or buy other materials. All I have to do is sit at my computer and press a button and roboform will fill out the sweepstakes forms.

I love roboform and don't know what I would do with out it. I will never go back to entering sweepstakes manually again after using roboform. I can enter so many more sweepstakes using it and I also like the price tag free or $20 or so dollars for roboform pro. I only use the free version.

Pike programming language

Pike is another programming language I have tried. Although I have not programmed in pike that much. I think I downloaded the interpreter and played around with it for a few days and have not used it since. I believe I tried a little bit of the tutorial on the pike website. I probably enjoyed myself.

Writing about all these programming languages makes me want to learn them all. I know that it might not be possible to learn all these programming languages, but it would be nice if I did know them all. A person can dream can't they.

Ruby programming language

Ruby is a programming language I would love to lean. I love the name ruby is sounds so red. I also like the fact ruby is from japan. I also like ruby because I want to finish reading why's (poignant) guide to ruby.

Why's (poignant) guide to ruby is the funniest programming book I have read. I laughed out loud reading the book. It saddens me that I only got to the second or third chapter. I had a lot of fun reading that book. I hope to finish it some day.

I have not programmed much in ruby, but I have heard about ruby on rails and I think it is popular. I did fool around with it for a couple of days though maybe a week.

Gimp Image Manipulation program

I also want to learn how to use Gimp an image manipulation program. I want to create a website so that is one reason I want to learn gimp. Another reason is knowing how to play around with photos and create other neat stuff. I think It would also come in handy to create things for bender.

I have tried to learn gimp before and have not stuck with it. I hope this time will be different. I have written those words to many times. This time I will stick with it even though I know it will take a lot of time to learn how to use gimp.

I like gimp because it is free which is great. I also like it because it is supposed to be powerful. I also like it because it is a small download.

Blender

As I have said before I want to make a small computer game. If I learn how to use blender I will be able to make that game. I can also use python with bender so that is why I will make my best effort to learn python.

I am amazed that bender is a free program there are a lot of things you can do with blender. Like create animations and also you can make video games. All that for free seems like a great deal to me.There is so much to learn about the program, but I hope I can learn how to use blender well. Blender is also a small download so I can download it quickly.

I have been thinking continued

I will continue talking about smalltalk. I want to read squeak by example. I remember I downloaded an unfinished version of squeak by example. I also remember I could not wait until the finished version of squeak by example was finally ready. But like most things I download the finished book and read a little bit of it, but never finished the book.

I want to start finishing things I start from reading squeak by example and learning smalltalk to learning python. I know I can finish things, but I have not applied myself. Well at least I have been doing this blog for a month.

AS I have said before I started blogs before this one only to give up a week or so later. It may not be good, but at least I am doing something I have always wanted to do and doing it every day.

I have been thinking

I have been thinking about what programs I want to learn how to use. I think that if I set goals to learn a certain program maybe I will learn that program. I have had my computer for a few years now and feel that I have not learned how to do much. I have set goals in the past to learn certain programs, but have not stuck to my goals.

The first thing I want to be able to do is program a computer. I know I said I am trying to learn Assembly language, but I think I Will try to learn squeak and python because I think they might be easier than assembly language.

I want to learn squeak because I think it is cool. I have wanted to learn smalltalk ever since I heard about the language. I think I can have a lot of fun with squeak and do some cool things.

I want to lean python so I can use it with blender the 3d animation program that I want to learn how to use. I have also read that python is easy to learn.

Another small win

I won a gift certificate from dryers ice cream. It arrived in the mail a couple of day ago. It surprised me because that daily sweepstakes ended about a month ago. I like ice cream, but I like free ice cream better. Free ice cream what a great win.

It's the end of may and that means a lot of sweepstakes to enter. It is always hard for me to enter all the sweepstakes I want to at the end of the month. Although I always get all the sweepstakes I want to enter finished. It took me a month or two of entering the sweepstakes at sweepstakes advantage to realise that usually the most sweepstakes end at the end of each month.

Yesterday I got all may 31 one entries done also I entered my monthly sweepstakes, and as always enter my daily sweepstakes. Right now I am sick of entering sweepstakes. Even using roboForm it can get exhausting to fill out all those sweepstakes forms. My be I will get some wins from all those sweepstakes, hopefully.

A small win yesterday

Yesterday I won 1 swag buck for using prize wish for my Internet searches. I Knew I could win swag bucks using prize wish, but I did not think I would ever win. It is amazing to me that I won, I have not used prize wish much.
