I spend all my spare time on pc's - is that bad?

Absolutely not, it is quite good, considering you aren't out there getting into trouble, though you can get in trouble using your pc :shifty:

Personally, I spend most of my day on the PC now that it's summer time. Even if it isn't summer time, I still do :p

Goddamn yes I am a computer geek, what else would you call someone who sports dual moniters, computer certifications, has dabbled in a few programming languages, has made his own Visual Style, Has sold MMORPG items for $$ on Ebay (Diablo 2 1.10 items when the patch was just released, hahah), has had to use Recovery Console to repair his boot partition because he was replacing system files.....yeah, I'm a ****ing computer geek.

But...

I love the outdoors. If I had my way, we'd live like Native americans, no joke. that's how I think is the right way to live.

I skateboard nearly everyday. Usually with large groups of friends, like 8 or so. Sometimes we'll skate all day, there have been days where I've been out skating for over 12 hours at once. I love skateboarding and I'm really starting to progress....360 flips comin around, I can nose manual forever, got heelflips back, can do 180 boneless fingervarials like nothing now.....I love it.

Also into weightlifting. I go to the gym usually once or twice a week....gonna start going more often though. I can lift more than most anyone on the football team though, I'm incredibly strong just naturally, so I started out at pretty high weights when I began doing some lifting. I'm pretty built now, defined chest, 6-pack, big arms etc.

If you saw me, you wouldn't ever think I'm someone that knows what a megabyte is. I tend to be categorized as the skateboarding stoner type that will get no where in life, when in reality I'll be making more out of highschool than a lot of my classmates will out of college.

I really do enjoy computers and I plan on having a career related to them, but physical activity and being outdoors is so much more vital to me than any rounds of CS or Unreal Tournament will ever be. I love physical activity, I'm incredibly atheltic...I've played and exceeded in Karate (2nd degree blackbelt, studied in Kempo, Kwamukan and a few other styles), Basketball (Consistantly making all-star teams and the like), Baseball (Wasn't all that great, hit hard but missed a lot, fielded well, bu tonly played 3 years), football (Only played a few years, kicked some serious ass though as Linebacker, playing kids half my size).

My general day, assuming I have no school or no work, will be sleep in till say, 1 pm, wake up, eat and shower and ****, **** around on the computer for 30 minutes to an hour, go skate, come home around 7, shower, hang out with friends (Sometimes doing geeky **** like 4 playe rHalo and having CS lan parties, other times parties, going to get togethers and ****)), then come home, smoke some magical plant, chill to some cool music, eat, talk to my << racial epithet >>z online then play somes toner CS with my friend, 1 v 1.

Well, sorry about this post getting to be long and ****, and sorry if I sounded full of myself or anything, I'm really not like that, I just acknowledge certain qualities about myself and I'm not ashamed to discuss them.

I've been looking trough my WINDOWS ( HAHAHA GET IT?!?! ) and i saw something my mom calls "Outside"

and i saw this bright shining object in the sky! i think it was a UFO but my mom called it "The sun" :omg:

Amazing! you all should check it out, now i'll go see what this "School" hype is all about!

    • Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
