What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Still haven't solved my graduation situation, though it's looking up. I found some online courses I can take, just need the university to approve of them and acknowledge they'll give me credit for them.

Not to bitch or anything, but ... nevermind, that's exactly what I'm doing. How did this "real life" topic get three pages of Minecraft posts in it?

You guys should probably start a new thread.

Let's see because MC is an actual game and things inside of it piss people off. Moving on.

Hope you do well Armando. What's your major?

Thanks. Computer Engineering.

Thanks. Computer Engineering.

I want to dabble in that field, but I never got enough training for it. Is it worth it? What type of job you trying to land after your done schooling and let's make a Minecraft thread.

You need to have an interest in electronics and hardware too, because even if you focus on software, electrical engineering courses are still going to make up about 40% of the curriculum. Otherwise, you might be better off in Compute Science or something. But it pays well enough for my standard of living and I like what I do, so it's worth it for me. I already have a job offer doing "systems integration and testing", but my starting date got frozen indefinitely until I can give them some assurance that I'll be graduating in December. I'm dabbling in video game programming on the side, but I don't expect anything to come out of that for at least 2 more years. Progress is slow when you're not working on it full time.

Well I like the idea of building computers, I know how to put a tower together. I've done it before, but more of the advanced hardware is what complicates things and I think I found my peeve for today. I didn't think I'd have to unsubscribe from my own thread because my tolerance with people is getting pretty low.

Hadn't noticed we were already 3 pages deep. Made a new thread.

It's more like redstone circuits. If you don't find that sort of thing interesting, you're going to hate courses like Digital Electronics, Logic Circuits and Microprocessors.

Still waiting on my high school to send transcripts to my college. Which is retarded considering I've been out of high school for fifteen years so I haven't the foggiest idea why my college even needs them, but I can't start school until all this is done, so meh.

Damn high school needs to hurry up. I'd just go up there myself and smack some sense into them, but yeah. Far. Really far.

They are starting to piss me off though.

Redstone can be used to make Cobblestone Generators, which is good if you want to stop Cr---Oh. I see what you did there. Haha.

Trying to update a fresh, clean install of Windows 7, I've had to run MS Update Troubleshooter twice already because it keeps hanging up.

[Satori]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

hanging up?
The internet? do you get that spinning blue thing on the connection icon at the bottom of the screen?
If so thats what was happening to me whan my pc died and I borrowed my brother in laws.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

No, it'll be shutting down and say something like "Installing update 3 of 55. 0% complete. Please do not power down your computer." and just stay stuck there for an hour.

I finally got through them all, but it warned me that some of them failed and doesn't seem to be giving me any option to reattempt the installs.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Ah, great. I installed the latest video driver, and now the monitor isn't getting a signal after windows starts up. wtf.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Did you install your motherboard drivers first?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

No. >_>
