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!

SGU: Divided

Okay... so this week Dr. Rush and the civilans take over the ship. Surprise surprise... was only a matter of time.

The Military have control over lifesupport... the civilians have control over everything else.

Apparently there was a tracking device placed on the ship and one in Rush's chest next to his heart by the aliens from last week.

Of course the aliens come knocking.

I keep asking myself... will they ever find a way to stop the ship from making jumps etc. Will they ever have complete control over the ship? Hmmm...

So the military come after the civilians. For some reason Chloe is all "Hey you're doing this" blah blah blah. Just because she was taken by aliens... can't mean that she wants to be pushing people around. Sure she's pissed etc. and has nightmares... but eh. She's misguided that Rush will help her and save the day... just because he helped her out on the alien vessel.

So the aliens start firing on the ship. Rush and Eli get the shields up.

Colonel Young finds Rush... the military points guns at the civilians. Typical civilan vs. military struggle. Interesting how each side thinks they know which is best for the entire ship.

The procedure for knocking Rush out was classic. Alien vennom.

So they bring in a doctor to remove the tracking device in Rush's chest. She quickly finds out that they are under attack... and is clearly overwhelmed by what's going on.

Half way through the procedure, the connection is lost. Chloe comes back to her hand in Rush's chest.

Wow, didn't mean for this to be a play by play... shoot.

Long story short, they get the device out of Rush... and the ship continues on its way.

Favorite quote from episode:
"If you have to use force, so be it. We still have to live with these people tomorrow."

I wonder if the aliens will be a continual part of the series... or if they'll just be here for a few episodes. I guess we'll find out.

All in all, I didn't like the episode... but I didn't hate it either.

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.
