But for how long??

jk welcome back. Did you have to leave due to computer restrictions/slowdowns due to filters or stuff?

Hey there welcome on Omnimaga! Have some peanuts! Oh wait, I already know you. Have more peanuts!

PEANUTS. PEANUTS. JUST TAKE 'EM


btw, welcome back

I totally did not expect the peanuts. But it made for a very warm welcome!

DJ_O, life really took over. I realized I had a lot of work to do in the piano and in simply growing up as a person. Reclusing(word?) in my room alone all the time away from people was not the way to do so. i also got extremely addicted to speedcubing. First video is up, today, by the way!



Anyways, I also think I suffered calculator overload.

WALL OF TEXT!

Basically, once I got an Nspire CX CAS, I had no need for any other scientific calculator for math purposes. One of the very important things about calc programming was that I had to use it often at the time, therefore, it was always around when I needed it because I needed it. Once I turned it on, however, I almost always got distracted and wanted to play games, write stuff, or hack/beta test for people/mess with glitches. I would finish school in the morning just to mess with my calculator all day long. Plus, it was the only platform on which I could play video games when I was grounded and Pokemon on the calculator was where I spent my days. Sersiouly, hundreds of hours. I don't know where I'd be without TI-Boy SE! Thanks, calc84maniac! helped me get through some dark days...
Then I suddenly got my Nspire. I never had a reason to pick up my old calc again because I was spoiled with GBA emulators and amazing math functions and polar graphing (the most fun thing about the Nspre, IMHO).
So, my other 4 calcs (all of the 8x line, one of them I wanted so badly I went to unjust means to get it!) simply sat there and collected dust. I don't even know where one of them is now, and I was even considering selling an 84+SE with 128k RAM on it to a friend so  I could buy more cubes and puzzles.
Sad day for the community (even if I don't really contribute lol)!
Then, I tried fooling with Nspire Linux. I was so into it and sure that if I could get minecraft working on the Wii via WiiLinux (which I did. I so frickin' did.), I could get xpdf running on Nspire. I got Linux working, but it wasn't configured right and for a while I didn't know what to do. I got discouraged, as I couldn't load an FS from a USB even after I spent a buttload on a powered USB hub. (I know what the problem was, just not interested anymore)
I finally just decided to quit with it. I was so upset about my failure (which I wasted many hours trying to not fail) that I actually stopped calcs altogether for a while. I blamed it on it being a childish pursuit. I also threw away most things I had built out of spare electronics, including the cell phone I had built.
Oh, what a fool I was!

I got a DS, a palm, and many other devices. I got my computer freedom back (and I don't abuse it, either! Learned my lesson; no prnoo [you get what that word is]!) and I became interested again. I still have many more powerful and better hackable and bigger userbase homebrew community devices, but I wasn't spoiled any longer. I had a taste of everything I needed that the world had to offer and I picked up my calc and wrote an extremely optimal PONG game in Ti Basic. It all started from there and I was once again addicted to calcs.

Then I remembered the great commmunities like Omni and Cemetech!

So, here I am! Lesson learned? Don't get spoiled by newer calcs.
I'mma go buy a CSE for cheap from my best friend now. I've used one once and the OS is disappointing, but hopefully the community progs will be good quality. Hopefully I can help you guys learn about optimal screen interaction routines...
REAL MORAL OF THE STORY?!

Netham55 is a lobster.

Who is Netham55? I only know Netham45and rubiks cubes are awesome ^.^

Great to see you back Dapianokid!  No one can really leave forever, as Onmimaga will always be part of our hearts.

I say netham55 because of an IRC joke from a while back, me and Sor were saying 55 to tick him off, the mighty blue one...
Yeah, I don't take credit for wisdom. Coffee is the wiser portion of my writings.
I couldn't stay gone. and thanks for subbing! I'm going to do more vids, pimath. piano and cubing.
dem atari peanuts...
I'm thinking of writing a 3D free flying camera Rubik's cube sim for CSE or CX CAS. just a considerable project...
