My Travel Map

So one of my greatest hobbies is travelling. Although I’ve only visited a fraction of the world, I love it!

Here is my travel map as of right now:

I’m hoping to do some more travelling next summer with some friends, not sure where to or anything yet, but hopefully!

That’s all really :’)

Wish me luck.

I love homework days..

Homework days are the name I have given for the day of the weekend/holiday that has been assigned to do homework on, usually the last day before it’s due in.

The best thing about homework days is, I am so productive! I get so much done on a homework day, the bad thing is, it’s never homework..

When it comes to homework days I am a big procrastinator, I find anything else to get on with that seems important so I am not faced with that huge pile of papers. Mainly getting vital things done like tidying my room, website work, having my weekly shave. Other day’s these tasks seem just as horrific as doing my homework, but not on homework days, they suddenly light up and seem doable.

I’m sure other people will know exactly what I’m talking about whether it be for homework or a different daunting task that faces them in their daily lives.

Smell ya later!

Technology Blog Coming Soon!

Very quick blog post today. I’ve been really busy doing nothing.

In more interesting news, me and a friend Marty had an idea to start a technology blog. Not as something to take on full time, but more of a laid back hobby. We’ve set it up as part of a website we run called gamingheavens.com. I say run, Marty is an Administrator on it, I am a Global Moderator, so I just keep the forums and things running smoothly.

Just spent about half an hour setting up little bits on the blog, we’re using wordpress to do it and once its set up and has a blog post on it, I will share the link with you.

Basically, the people who help run gamingheavens, (mods+) can have an account to create blog posts on it and if we ever get an urge to write something on a technology topic we like, we can do so.

Sorry for not explaining all that well, I’m rather tired, so writing probably isn’t my strong point right now haha. Anyway, that’s all for now, smell ya later!

Happy Easter!

I was talking to Ossy about a week ago, about how I do nothing but see my girlfriend, sit on my computer and watch the football. Obviously, when school is on, I go to school too but other than that, my life consists of bugger else. Some of you may know that I’ve been getting rather down and depressed lately as well, and in my opinion although not completely due to this, I feel that a big part of the reasoning was due to me not doing anything. So it was time to do something about it.

I re-enabled Facebook last week as a way to get in touch with my mates, unfortunately the only way I can send a group message around is by Facebook. I tried to organise a few of my mates to go camping but some of my mates couldn’t afford it so we have held off on that idea.

Since camping/travelling was out of the window completely, we had to find something else to do. As there is fuck all for people my age to do, we resorted to drinking. Its been a pretty good week I must admit, had a good laugh with the lads and met some cracking new people too. Went to my mates sisters party the other night and met some crackers like. Hopefully will be able to go out with them again some time.

Moving on from drinking, I haven’t had a chance to get much Java practise in, in fact since the last post, I haven’t done anything. My bad, I will pick it up again soon, probably after the holidays have finished and I’m back at school.

Keeping a blog is so hard, I keep forgetting to update it, and since I haven’t been at home for the majority of the past week, I haven’t been able to. I know my friend Ossy is also having problems remembering to update his too.

My girlfriend, caitlin, is on holiday in Egypt right now which is part of the reason I’ve been going out drinking, caitlin doesn’t really drink at all, so I don’t have the oppurtunity to do so with her. Anyway, I really miss her. She will be back on Thursday but I don’t think I will see her until Friday.

Sigh.

Anyway, that is it from me for now, I would like to say I will post again later, but my words have proven to mean little in terms of this blog as of late. I do have a few ideas for blog posts which I would like to post as soon as I find the time!

Smell ya later!

Learning Java: Basic Addition Calculator

So yesterday I started following some tutorials to get started learning Java. The first thing I got to make following the tutorial was a very basic calculator, it is text based and has to be addition. I could change it to division, multiplication or subtraction but I would have to change the code, there wouldn’t be an option for the user.

Here is the (very basic) code:
basic-java-calculator-code

And here is step by step what the program does, the bits in green are what the user inputted.
java-calculator-step-1
java-calculator-step-2
java-calculator-step-3
java-calculator-step-4
java-calculator-step-5

So as you can see, it is very basic and I completely copied from a tutorial, so no effort or imagination on my behalf really. It’s a start and I’m sure I’ll keep at it.
