WARNING! THIS IS A RANT!
OK, I know that I’m meant to be doing Book Reviews: Part 2, but I feel this is slightly more pressing.
Recently I have been having a bit of trouble with computers. I am a (self-proclaimed) technophile, and so I *obviously* like technology and am pretty good at solving problems when they come up. When my parents don’t know how to send an attachment on their phones, I am like Fix-It Felix. Although admittedly, when I smashed their phones with a hammer, I don’t think that was what they had in mind.
Anyhow, we’re doing some programming in school with Python, so I tried to download it at home. The download went smoothly enough, but then I tried to download an extra module, called Pygame, so that I could make more interesting programs. It’s on my bucket list to program my own game, so maybe I could make one by 2014. :D We’ll see.
Anyhow, the download process for Pygame was an absolute nightmare. First I tried downloading off of the official site, but even when I had downloaded it, nothing happened. I tried to delete the software and try again. And again. I did this for about half an hour before I started looking on the internet, but none of the forums could help. I started to sink into despair. I finally worked out how to download it after 1.5-2 hours, but it was still very annoying.
This does sound kind of ungrateful, and these problems are pretty insignificant when compared to someone else’s. Even though computers can really bug me (*facepalm*) they are useful stuff.
Hopefully you can sympathise with my problems here. :P Do you also have a love/hate relationship with technology? Or even a hate/hate relationship?
Joe. :)
I have only love for modern technology! :)
So you’ve never had to deal with viruses/bugs/blackouts/frozen screens etc.? I’m envious. :P
I have, I just LOVE laptops :)
Keep me posted on the game! sounds awesome. What would be the theme?
I can understand! Computers can be so annoying but they’re useful too
I’m not quite sure what the game is going to be. Still learning at the moment. Do you have any ideas? :P
Well, I love action/adventure things…how about a journey? Of some sort.
