A sad day (: in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I've kept track of my ranking on here and in the last month or so it's gone down! At one time I was up to 190 or so now I'm at 207. I don't think I'm writing anymore infrequently. What I beleive is happening is that more and more people are using joeuser.com So I'm competing against more people. Example say joeuser.com had 500 users then if I was in

I turned in my intro to abstract math homework yesterday. I didn't find the homework too hard it was just about right. I took a quiz in analytically mechanics today. I think he made it a little to easy but some people still didn't get correct. Overall I'm not finding UC Davis to be too hard but I'll see how I do on the exams. The quality of students is definetly highe

School in Misc JoeUser Forums

I turn my first homewok for Intro to Abstract Math tomarrow I'll see how I do on it. So far I'm enjoying all my classes. None of them seem too difficult. And I'm so glad that the classes will hopefully be harder and I hope the teachers will cover some of the more advanced material. It's really cool that I'm only ten minutes away from class so I can be the clasic

Debate in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I would give Kerry a slight edge. In the closing arguments Bush blinked too often and should of been shorter when his point was simple. I feel that Bush was too repetative on some of the issures. I enjoyed the debate. This will be the first election that I will participate in as a voter!

Job in Misc JoeUser Forums

I got a job monitoring the computer lab in the Computer Science department at UC Davis. This is really cool for me because the hours are just right Sunday 10am-6pm and it's doing something relaxing just monitoring the lab so hopefully when it's not busy I can do my homework and program. The only bad thing is it's only $6.75 an hour but that the price I pay

I really like spending time by myself. I don't enjoy interacting with people that much anymore mostly I think whats the point I see goodbye in a week a month a year and it all won't matter. I was

Reading peoples blogs today at joeuser.com I found out that Sir Peter Maxwell had created a website for disillusioned joueser.com bloggers. I've seen this before at vbforums.com A group of people don't like the adimistration at the old site. They then create a spinoff site that may or may not be succesfull. In my experince this only happens when you have a site th
