Science Assignments 4 years too late

Fantastic News!
Iva had a great idea for my science assignment, unfortunately im now an Engineering student at uni, and that science assignment was due in year 10 four years ago......

But just for fun I might do it anyways.

Someone had the idea in my class to measure what brand of pen lasted the longest, but could work out how to calculate it, drawing lines and lines would be inefficient.
So they dropped the idea.

 Here's what I am going to do (maby!)

  1. Weigh a full pen of each brand
  2. Draw a set distance of lines with each pen
  3. Weigh each pen
  4. Drain each pen of ink
  5. Weigh again
  6. W(full)-W(empty) = W(ink)
  7. W(full)-W(after lines) = Ink per lines
  8. ink per lines/distance = ink per distance
  9. W(ink) / ink per distance = distance of pen
Childish I know, but it has been bothering me for four years to find the answer!

Here have some numbers, written in javascript

Still Vintage, N64

Keeping to the vintage theme, my Girlfriend and I have busted out the old N64 (Which i still keep connected to my TV)

I actually only got my first N64, for a birthday gift, about 2 years a ago.

Its amazing how the vintage stuff is often more fun than the new hi tech stuff.....

Good Old VCRs

My girlfriend and I when down to the local Salvation army opp shop, they were selling as many VCR tapes as you can fit in a box for $5.

We ended up with 40+ VCRs! Epic win?


The best part was the nostalgia.... After digging up a VC(and remembering how to use the thing), It took us a good 10 mins to remember you had to rewind!

Firefox Webify Me

I saw this link on my firefox home page, Webify Me, They basicly creat your desktop (the old school style!) by asking a few questions, sounded like fun, I was shocked when they got mine fairly accurate!

Check mine out:

Being Lazy, Kris Kringle Manager

Maybe  if I wrote actually wrote something on this blog people would read it......? Who knows, probably about time I did something anyways.....

To be honest I actually haven't done much, Kris Kringle Manager is back on its way, it had\s a new home now:
www.kriskringlemanager.blogspot.com
Call me cheap but I wanted to put ads on the site, and wordpress.com blogs don't allow Javascript..... (Theres some useful information!!!)

The project is almost finished all I have to do is fix a few error allerts, and work out how to distribute Python code well.

There's something useful to write about:

I want to distribute a python code, my issue is it calls dlls so py2exe is out.
My other isue is I cant work out how to embed the python installer into my own installer. Nor do I know if im even allowed to distribue python.....

For now I have two separate links and im asking users to download both, my code and python, probably not the most userfriendly way of doing it.

If Python had there dlls online, like Javascript does, then I could call them online, and use py2exe, unfortunately I cant find any such website.....

That's all for now, hopefully I actually wrote as something useful!!!
