Degritz

Ty for the good wishes all, and yeah, idk what is gonna happen yet, I will find out at least im not drunk and banning fa mems on the et servers this time around.... sorry butters

Hey all, just a note of why I have been absent for so long now. About 4 months ago, I started going blind in my right eye, not having the funds to do anything about it, I just went blind to the point of loosing appx 90% of my vision in my right eye As having no vision in my right eye, and my monitor being a wide screen monitor, it not only made it hard to see anyone on my right, (to shoot em) it also wrecked my depth of vision totally. So, as of now CoD4 and ET are not near as fun as they used to be, cuz I can't see you.. or maybe all of you have become more Ninja.. I could see that happening too. As of right now, I am in the application process of my states program for blindness prevention, and it looks like I will be successful in that application. If I am acceptid, it will pay for the necessary surgery to reattach my retina in my right eye (oops, forgot to mention that the ophthalmologist said it was a detached retina, requiring surgery) . As I cannot afford the $300-900 retina specialist, that will even tell me if it is possible to fix it with surgery, I don't know yet if I will be able to see out of my eye ever again. Anyway, wish me luck and prayers. I miss all you guys, even those of you that kill me every time you see me.

Degritz, after Slippery Jim Degritz, in an old sci-fi novel from when my dad was a kid, written by Harry Harrison.

Hmm, you do have to think of C++ as a different language, I have used C++ compilers that would not allow standard C functions used.. as for learning C++ without C, I dunno about all that, I Learned C before C++ was around.

Military is out for me, I tried when I was early 20's, I have Psoriasis, a genetic skin condition, I was told it disqualified me. Now, I am not interested in going in any more

Granted, you are given knowledge of even the minor details of rare makes and models, 2 days before all motorized transportation as we know it is outlawed and we are given more energy efficient hover craft. I wish my headache would go away, and never come back, without me dying.

Granted: you were buried upside down alive by a the HNGW (homosexual necrophiliac graveyard workers) and there you died. I wish my woman treated me better

Hmm.. Now we are not playing with wishes.. we are playing with word semantics.. so here we go Granted. Seeing that wish is a strong desire for a specific thing, and that you now have a strong desire to have a strong desire, these two strong desires are directed at one another, with you caught eternally between them, tearing you apart by my granting of both your wishes at once. I wish your wishes were no longer based on obtuse semantics

I my opinion C++ is similar to C, as far as syntax is concerned. After that, relearn everything, my last C++ program had no functions and made no function calls. That's it.. I am gonna get back into it, damn I should not have read this post, it got me the bug again.. I wanna create something now. P.S. I do want to learn Java, I don't know it, so I can say nothing as far as it being better/worse than C++.. at this time I am heavily biased for C++

Hmm in the last C++ compiler I was working on I believe it was g++ (linux) rand() was not an accepted function because it was not counted as pure C++ in the compiler I was making a dice roller program and the error I kept getting was after I did find the randomize function it needed a seed number and boundaries to operate, aka randomize(somenumber,lowerboundary,upperboundary) and it would use the number you put in as a jumping off point for the randomization. I put in some random junk, and tested it, unfortunately for me since I used a static variable for the seed it always cued up the same string of numbers. so I tired grabbing the date and time from the computer and running that as the random seed number, it seemed to do the trick, till I tried rolling multiple dice, as they all rolled at the same time, the seed remained the same. I thought of putting the seed number is as the date and time++1 or adding 1 every time the function was ran, well thinking of that since this was just as small part of a d20 based mud I was working on, as many times as the dice were to be rolled it would not take to horribly long to exceed the maximum number size, even putting it in as a double long. ( not sure if that is still around, it has been a while ) At last I got a final solution with grabbing the date and time and cpu ticks , putting them together as one integer and using that as the seed number, worked like a charm. I really hope they have rand() back or some version of it on g++ next time I dig back into it, will make it so much easier.. Ended up making the dice roller class operable and created static variables of the class named D6 for 6 sided dice, etc, all the common dice up to D100, worked quite well as I could use this class as an integer anywhere I needed a dice roll. if any of you have played a table top rpg such as D&D there are quite a lot of them all I had to do was cout<<D10 to reflect the roll of a 10 sided dice on the screen, or in rolling attacks using simple addition example Player attack bonus is 10 Weapon has attack bonus of 2 Using power attack for a negative bonus of -5 so to calculate the roll and display the results was monsters ac = 18 int hitroll = (10+2-5+D20); if ((hitroll == ac) || (hitroll > ac)) cout<<"you hit the monster for %i damage",damage; else cout<<"Missed"; might have messed up on the syntax, I am rusty as hell, lol I love programming, you never know what weird problem you will run into next =D

X-box 360 here I usually play Oblivion and Fallout 3 on it I don't like shooters on consoles, so I don't have any of em. oh! I like the lego games on it also, starwars, Indiana Jones, and Batman

Granted I read that and I came.. I wish my Man boobs would go away

He he, I did not join this clan because of the forums, although I admit, the more I browse the more I like em. I joined this clan because Daredevil did not give me an option not too.. it went something like this ( In my totally non distorted memory ) Dardevil: Hey degritz you are now a member of this most honorable and beautiful clan that I have created from my sheer genius and force of my almighty will.. now go put in and app, submit you GUID and put on tags and don't give me no shit.. do it, do it now... Degritz: WOW A CLAN INVITE ME SO EXITED!!!!!! Daredevil: ... Degritz: oh.. ok.. (5 min break) =F|A=Degritz: done! Daredevil: Good, I have deemed it and therefore it was so =F|A=Degritz > Daredevil: Ty Server: The lord of this realm is no longer online And that is pretty nearly almost word for word exactly like it nearly happened.. I swear it. by daredevils name.

Lol, I was not looking for stolen, I hear there are some sites that have some royalty free downloads, some older music, ect.. I am very eclectic in my musical tastes. Edvard Grieg, Marylin Manson, Jackson 5, Alabama, EMINEM, etc.. Oh, I really like Strauss too.

Hmm, well I live in Northern Michigan, not the UP, Traverse City to be exact. As for my IT skills, I am not horribly proficient in Microsoft Exel.. Word.. ETc.. being that I rather hate Bill Gates and all his shitty software. I do pick and learn how to use and tweak programs in a hurry though. I have dabbled extensively in C and some in C++, But seems I have no time now to mess around with them much. It was 8 years ago last time I used a cabinet modeling program to show a customer what their remodel/kitchen would look like. It was faster to draw a scaled 3d sketch by hand than make it on the computer. Never used Autocad though. This program, was a $6000 program at the time, my Boss had training in it but after a couple hours I fixed all his messups in the setup and got it working. I wont do truck driving, my one serious accident was asleep at the wheel, long runs seem to put me to sleep, and well, me asleep in an 18 wheeler is not a pleasant thought. I am intelligent.. my dog told me so, it makes it easy for me to get jobs, usually learning in weeks what takes most months. Although I rather think many of you are in the same boat with me there. I appreciate all the ideas, and have already been trying to learn HTML, and java script, but unfortunately for me my woman gets mad at me if I am on the comp and not gaming with her. (yes she gets pissed when I play COD4 and she is around, because her comp cant handle COD4). I am not sure how much longer I can take her = the willingness to move anywhere in the country to get me a job.

Well I have a friend here in MI that has me a standing offer to a bus ticket anywhere in the U.S.A. so free travel, my car blew up.. puts me in a bad way.
