New Computer

With alot of help and guidance from Kyle, I was able to build my own computer. Although there were some complications, I was finally able to put it all together. It's really good for how Cheap I was able to build it.


Basic System Specifications:

• Windows 7 Professional 64 bit


• AMD Quad Core: 2.5 Ghz


• 4 GB of RAM


• Graphics Card: 3.8 GBPS Memory Clock/128 Bit, 1 GB GDDR5
  

Approximate Price Tag: $350

WARNING: (I was unable to photoshop the coming photos, due to a recent system wipe of the Home Desktop)

In other News: In Programming I built my First Legit Program, Rock Paper Scissors (Other Programs include: Temputure Conversion Program, Super Basic Loan Payment Calculator)

Pax Contest Winner Announcement/Random Bragging/Random Art

Alright this post would be too short unless I post other Suff, so as you may have already noticed the name banner at the top is just something I whipped in around 10 mins. I just learned how to create Paint splats, and I am trying to teach my self to apply this to other things, like water Splats. (if your wondering why this at the top instead of the PAX Announcement, I just thought it would look better at the top.)



Next is the PAX Announcement, Unfortunatley I did not win, and this wasn't co-hosted with Astro, just purley Capcom, so only first place was announced, but The First Place was super freaken awesome, and deserved to win, so I'm cool with losing.



Last, is just some random Bragging rights in order to increase post size, I'm the top of my class in Programming, I mean were only at the begining, so not even into the Hard Stuff, but alot of people didn't understand the concept of Binary and Decimal and Hexadecimal, I got all of it, just couldn't figure out 1 problem the last question of the last section which is Converting ASCII>Decimal>Binary>Hexadecimal and there was no conversion table for it so I looked up the Mathmatical Formula for Converting Binary into Hexadecimal, then quickley finished the problem. The best part of all of this....is the fact that the teacher was only "allowing us" (teaching) the first 3 of 6 sections, and I just moved ahead by teaching myself using the chart and Instructions.

So basically if you skipped the last paragraph, the main point is that now I'm officially smarter than Jamie...

Astro Headset Winner Announcement

Well, Capcom Announced the winner today, although I did not win first, but I did get second which isn't too bad, I may get some super minor prize, but just knowing I got second against a bunch of professionals is good enough.

Anyways to make this post a tad bit longer, heres some random Capcom related pictures that I have made:

Pax Contest

I was waiting to post this after I found out who the winner of the previous contest is, so that I could group that announcement with this post so that the winner announcement isn't a super short post, but they delayed the announcement of the winner, so I will find something else to group the winner announcement with. so Here is the Pax Contest.

Capcom is hosting another contest, This contest is about what they are announcing at Pax (Penny Arcade Expo) It must contain pieces from the games that they are announcing at Pax, and the winners Piece will be Displayed at the capcom booth for thousands to see, It will be their main show piece, so I am very Excited about just the chance at winning.

What I entered:

By the way can you count how many times I used the word announcement?

Old Photo Recovery

My mom found this old picture and asked if I could restore it, At first I thought it would be really easy...well after a billion hours I had my finished product. I showed it to my teacher mostly to brag about it and he said it would also count as a digital skill, this is possibly going in my portfolio.

Portfolio

In my class we have to make a portfolio of some of our best photography, these are all the pictures I have chosen. The last two, I did not Take the base picture just photo edited, The blue one with the seamonster I made it look like it was taken underwater and added the scuba diver, the frog one I put a mouth on. Other than that I took the rest.

Make-Up Man

I learned how to make it look like someone was wearing make up so I put it to good use...

I thought this was pretty cool, took me a little while though,
