New Blog

Hey everyone!
I've started a new blog at bluestaticfire.blogspot.com

Hope to see you there!

...

I can honestly say that after my operation I could run a marathon! Right now I have a moon boot on my left leg because I had a bone growth and the orthopaedic surgeon had to chip it away in surgery. I am so gatvol of not putting any pressure on my foot. Thankfully, this coming Monday, I can start getting my ankle wet; I can also start putting a bit more pressure on it... Can't wait for Monday.

Why Does Lord Voldemort Have No Nose?

I was watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when I came about this question. Was it because Peter Pettigrew only gave his hand and not his nose? I don't know! That is why I'm going to find out. I'm going GOOGLE it!!!

Now, I've Googled it and I've come up with some interesting results; well only one result:
"Because he takes on the appearance of a snake. If you read book 6 and 7 you would know all about horcruxes and splitting his soul..." Quoted from http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081129214934AAGDw7Z (Answer submitted by LDS Mom: http://answers.yahoo.com/activity?show=GPn55rjTaa)

So the answer to this question is quite simple: Lord Voldemort has no nose because he was made in the form of a snake in the fourth Harry Potter movie.

Hopefully I'll come up with some more Harry Potter Q&A's in the future.

School

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm suddenly very busy and won't have a lot of time to write Blog posts. The reason for this is that I'm going to school! I'm going to Courtney House.

Please ignore my post that I put up yesterday as the seller deleted the katana off bidorbuy.co.za

I'm not going to say anything about it.

Katana

Hey everyone,

I was checking bidorbuy.co.za a while back for swords. I found a couple nice ones one of them being a three piece Katana set.

Definition:

Katana

A very sharp sword used by the ancient Samurai.


So yeah, I know a of of people will say "for that price, piece of junk probably." (It's R200 + R90 for shipping), but I really only need it for decoration...

So yeah, I'm thinking of getting it.

Ohhh yeah, what would the point of this post be if I didn't give you a link to the page:

Samurai 3-Piece Sword Set

It also comes with a stand for them...

P.S. I started school today...

Fishing

Hey everyone,
Sorry I didn't blog yesterday, but I have a good reason why I didn't post.
I went fishing with my friend.
Guess how many fish we caught?
0? 1? 8?

No. We caught 18 fish!

It divides into this:

Person                   Me         My Dad         My friend         My friends Dad
No. Fish caught      2                2                       2                       12

Phew. (My friends dad is an expert fisherman, so don't expect me to get more fish than him.)
(The fish were largemouth bass at the Loskop Dam)
Anyway so that took until about 2:00ish and I stayed at my friends house and we played xbox)

I got home at 6:00ish and I was bushwacked. (Tired)

So there's my reason why I didn't post.

P.S.
I was sick when I went fishing and it was raining and it was 12 degrees celsius. I am even more sick...
But it was still worth it.

Batch Coding

Hey everyone,
I am actually starting a kind of book (but I wouldn't get hopeful for it being published...). It's a non-fiction how-to book on batch coding.
I knew you could do different types of code on notepad, as I can do basic HTML, so I Googled
How to make a notepad game. Guess what I came up with?
Batch coding.
I quickly learnt it and started doing different things. My biggest project that I've done with batch programming is 25000 characters/4250 words/29 pages long.
Loooongg...
Anyway, so I'm busy with the book now.
