Programming In Perl

Been trying my hand lately in programming in Perl. Doing some database things with it. It’s quite an interesting language. I’m rather enjoying it, if I’m being honest. Coming from a Java background, I find it exciting to learn new things and take them as they come to me. It’s fun for sure!

SG:U Episode 2

Okay, so I'm watcing the second episode of Stargate Universe. Uh, Desert Planet. Right...

So they have these stones which allows them to contact Earth at anytime. That's nice, they can keep in touch. How sweet.

Okay, so they're on this desert planet so they can find a way to get their air thing working again in order to survive.

What do they find on the plnet? Sand. Well and this thing that keeps buggin' them... and it looks like it likes water. Hmmm interesting, perhaps that's where all the water went to in the first place.

And a face just appeared out of the sand. (Yes I'm watching it as I type)

Typical how when you get too warm that you start seeing things. Oh yes, it always happens like that.

The 'kid' is rather annoying... sure he wants to understand crap... but shoot, he's no scientist.

Reminds me of an episode of Enterprise, where they were on a Desert Planet. Hmmm... probably not though.

The ex con is fun. Seems like he likes to threaten people with his weapons.

Obviously they'll have to get the air working again, 'cause that would suck fo rthem to be stuck on a ship.

I enjoy the thought of a mutany.

Loved the part where the guy is about to step through the gate and the scientist tells the ex con to shoot the guy. Classic!

"Why'd you do that?"

"He told me to."

And so the guy has a flashback of when he knocked up some gal. The swirrly thing comes back and wakes him up. He finds the lakebed, which is what they were looking for to begin with and help arrives.

I'm wondering what happened to the two deserters... that went on their marry way. Talk about getting rid of cast members you don't need/care about?

I wonder if they'll pop up later on episodes, and become enemies... oh let's hope not. That would be too cliche in my opinion.

Ex con is really cool. Motivating his commanding officer like that. Telling him to get up, that he has to make it. Sweet.

Nice how they incorporated the fact if you keep an object in the event horizon that the wormhole on the gate keeps open. Very cool.

And the ship goes on its way... with the air supply thing fixed. Allowing them to survive.

Not to mention some music about "Don't forget to breathe" playing over it all.

Well, except for the fact of the small sucker ship that was stuck to the vessel... that flys off when they're in hyperspace. Hmmm, interesting.

Yep, the adventure continues. Can't wait till next week. Love the show!

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

What's The Point?

 So, tell me, what is the point of believing in a spiritual supreme being? I often wonder what that is all about. I know religions say that God, as some call him, is our father. We pray by starting with our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Yet sometimes it feels like he is absent from our lives. Is it due to how we are living our lives? What exactly is the cause of that feeling? Some people believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are one person. Others do not. It is interesting to me to see what all churches believe in. I myself do not go to church. I don't believe in organized religion. I have my bible on my phone, so it's me and my bible. That is my link to God. It makes me wonder if that's enough though. I have faith in Christ, I believe in him. Is my faith sufficient to be forgiven of my sins? I do not know. I do know that wherever I end up in the afterlife, I will have done my best to follow Christ. I believe the scriptures which lay out Christ's...

Depression

 Depression is not something to be taken lightly. Having Major Depressive Disorder, I can only hope for a better future. I get it a lot of people wish to have a better future. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't think. Why not wish for a better life? If wishing works, let it work. Personally I wish the voices would leave me, but it's not as simple as that. They run amok from time to time. My only hope is that they'll get a clue. Yeah it's crazy at times that's for sure. If I could, I'd wish them upon no one else.
