And incidentally, I did go to the place and take the aptitude test thingy. It was worse than I feared. I spent fifteen minutes going through a list telling whether I'd like or dislike doing various things. Then I spent fifteen minutes going through a list of job skills and clicking the very very very very very very very few I had. At the end I was told what sort of jobs I might be interested in. Uh, yeah, thanks, but my problem is that I don't know what to MAJOR in, you [extremely long line of swear words censored] idiots.

I can't even go to the AAC again tomorrow because dad is going to be kidnapping me to look at his &%(#&%*(&@ing computer. Not that they could help me anyway. They certainly didn't help me before.

I just don't know. I seriously just don't know.

Would have answered before, but you were being clustered :(

Anyhow, sympathy on both counts... sorry the AAC was no help.
And as to the other post- I'm sorry, I'm having cognitive dissonance putting you and stupid, or you and foolish, in the same sentence. Doesn't work.
You're going through a tough time, but don't take it out on yourself, hrm?

Clus... tered?

Clustering is the replacement of all
http://www.livejournal.com/talkpost.bml
style URLs with
http://www.livejournal.com/talkpost.bml?journal=lj_dev
style URLs- notice the extra 'journal=' bit at the end.
This allows the 'itemid=' bit at the end to be a much smaller number, because it can be local to the journal (personal or community), rather than global to LJ.
This I think is a reason why they think clustering is going to (and already is) speeding up LJ by considerable amounts. They're clustering a number of people in bunches all the time. When a group of people is clustered, however, their journals are read-only.

Ah, so that's the word for why they went and switched the comment link style around on me again.

Speeding up LJ is a good thing, though. I approve. (I'm sure they're ever so glad of that.)

[malver.livejournal.com]

Well, you are, I think, one of their members in longest standing- for that reason if no other I should imagine your opinion does matter to them. (And unlike me you are a paid member. I do hope to become one before too very long; I certainly use their resources enough...) So I can't imagine they wouldn't be glad to hear that. Or that they'd be indifferent, either.

The comment style business was raised in another recent post to lj_dev - you may have seen. With the news that there would??might?? be some changes down the pipe in the entire matter of the nc=...

Dunno.

Ah. Last track of this CD I'm listening to, now. "Danza Festiva." Time for me to change it, soon. Always glad to have received this one (a gift from a friend...)

I just discovered today that the "Which Online Quiz Are You?" Quiz is all your doing.
You fiend.





~heart~ Thanks. :D

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

...it is?

Re:

I think so.

At least, I thought it said "byt napoleonherself underneath the graphic.... uh-oh.

Self-doubt has entered the picture.

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

I only did the 'what will your result to this quiz be?' quiz, not the 'which quiz are you' quiz. At least I don't THINK I did any others... but then, Zod only knows what I do when I'm asleep... *ponders suspiciously at herself*

Re:

[iambliss.livejournal.com]

Ah, THAT is the quiz that I saw! I just misremembered, and was too much of a lazy git to actually check it myself...

:\

Sympathies, and not sure I can offer much in the way of advice (despite facing a marginally similar situation and dealing with it all too similarly, i.e. beating my head against walls and other blunt surfaces, which mother has started fussing at me over), but in one of your other posts, you expressed some concerns about certain courses you've taken, which I gather were not part of the university's core requirements, being wasted. Realize you probably already considered this, but what fields are those courses in? Check your university's catalogue, and if more than one can count for a single major, and you have an interest or possible interest or at least tolerance for that field, that may be the way to start (at least, so maybe a few of those classes aren't wasted, and so as to minimize the total number of hours you'll have left to go.)

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

Nah, the classes were totally random -- I did that on purpose, trying bunches of different things, trying to find something I could get into.

However, I've redefined my plan and have hit on something that I've decided is probably the best bet. And the AAC didn't help me one single bit; I did it all on my own, with a bit of moral support from Honorable Chris. So bite me, AAC.

*tapes pillows to your head so you can bang it on walls all you want without the slightest bit of injury*

[malver.livejournal.com]

Very glad chrisxk was able to help out and that things may be running smoother.
Seems I was right about clustering being meant to improve efficiency and speed, but quite mistaken about why. See himi's response to my recent thread (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?itemid=23491714&nc=2) on the subject if anyone's at all interested...
