Do You Use Tech Support?

thought was quite humourous. might give a new light on marriage, even =P

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as MLB 5.0, NFL 4.3, PGA 3.0, and NBA 3.6. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

REPLY FROM TECH SUPPORT:

Dear Desperate

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.

Try to enter the command: C:\ITHOUGHTYOULOVEDME' to download Tears 6.2, which should automatically install Guilt 3.0.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5,

BUT remember : overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1.
WARNING: Beer 6.1 is a very nasty program that will create Snoring Loudly.
CAUTION: Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program.

These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.

I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck,
Tech Support

Cartwheels!

T ania, YF, CW and me being high after PE!

YAY we should have a mass class cartwheeling session one day and video it down.

How cool would that be.

Yay! Something vaguely academing - physics-ish and math-ish, and frankly quite mind boggling. Quite cool though, here's a flash animation on imagining the tenth dimension.

Now this is actually rather amusing in a geeky way. Yup. I should be sleeping.

Class dota map

Saturday, February 03, 2007 by OneFook

From a dota nOOb. Above is the dota map for our class. Let me run you through it.

1. T3h Frozen Throne aka tutor's table. Since it's damn cold there, being in the direct path of the aircon's blow, it's damn cold there. And since there is a chair there, hence I dub it t3h frozen throne.

2. Tree of eternity aka YJ. I was deciding what to make the Tree of Eternity and Yj said him so okay, he is the tree of eternity.

3. Top mid bot lane. Self explanatory.

4. Secret shop. Basically those who bring sweets / snacks to class and share it with everyone.

5. Roshan. THE TUTORS! We must join forces to kill the tutor. Or if you have become a damn high level IMBA character (like Yan Heng, and soon Yejie), you can solo Roshan.

Not forgetting the creeps. The creeps are of course the J1s who use our class.

Next thing to do: come up with hero names and character for everyone.

the dy/dx conspiracy

Friday, February 02, 2007 by fiveless
From here
"Rate of change is this mathematics known as Calculus. Calculus, it's a very interesting thing, is divided into two classes -- there's Differential Calculus and Integral Calculus. The Differential Calculus is in the first part of the textbook on Calculus, and Integral Calculus is in the second part of the textbook on Calculus. As you look through the book, you'll find in the early part of the book on Calculus, "dx" over "dy", a little "dx", and a little "dy" -- and one's above the other on a line -- predominates in the front part of the book, but as you get to the end of the book you find these "dx" and "dy"s preceded by a summation sign, or are equating to a summation sign, and the presence of this shows that we are in the field of Integral Calculus.

Now I hope you understand this, because I've never been able to make head nor tail of it. It must be some sort of a Black Magic operation, started out by the Luce cult -- some immoral people who are operating up in New York City, Rockefeller Plaza -- been thoroughly condemned by the whole society. Anyway, their rate-of-change theory -- I've never seen any use for that mathematics, by the way -- I love that mathematics, because it -- I asked an engineer, one time, who was in his 6th year of engineering, if he'd ever used Calculus, and he told me yeah, once, once I did, he said. When did you use it? And he said I used it once. Let me see, what did you use it on? Oh yeah. Something on the rate-of-change of steam particles in boilers. And then we went out and tested it and found the answer was wrong.


And another bad math joke. Actually. It isn't even a joke because it's not technically funny. (Okay, "technically" funny maybe, but not funny - you know what I mean). Courtesy of xkcd (NSFW!) [There was actually a funnier vectors one that I wanted to post but its NSFW. It's somewhere on the site)
