Looking for a computer geek to be my b/f
November 24th, 2005
I wish you could help me more on this CS stuff.
I know you hate CS so much now that you dun want to touch it anymore; but sometimes when I’m asking you questions on my assignments, I’m just thinking that they’re simply logical problems and that everyone can do it without much CS background.
Plus, you’re not at all a computer-idiot. You spend most of your time with your computer—from reading tech-news, making your windows look like a mac to building your own blog, making modifications to your homepage, and digging on the movie, sound, editing stuff.
You care about your computer so much that you could refuse to install on your computer a program that wasn’t working on my computer but was something I desparately needed to finish my assignment on-time.
OK…you finally apologized about it after we had had another fight over your computer again; but for the sake of having my story completed with related background, I’ll tell what had happened.
I used a screen saver to make your Windows LOOK LIKE it’s encountering some serious problems and that it keeps restarting itself automatically(pretending to be restarting).
Honestly, I didn’t know that the screen saver would somehow change the icons on your desktop and that it was unable to restore them to their orginal looks and colours; but still, I didn’t think it was such a big deal that you had to use such a very serious tone,saying
“No, I’m not mad at you, but I definitely don’t like it. You should know that you did something wrong.”
What? Your Windows didn’t crash; it was just some stupid changes to a few icons. Were these little changes worth your having such a bad attitude to your beloved girlfriend? I don’t think so.
So then there was a big flight. I finally brought up the “refused to intall a program for me; not helping me when the deadline of the assignment is approaching” issue. (Women have good memory of what you did wrong and the apologies you own them.)
Anyway, it seemed to me that he saw his computer more important than me.
You know? Not many things can depress him like an unknown error coming from his computer. He could stay in front of his computer, keep looking for solutions to the problems without turning his head to things around him for one second. He would get really upset if he didn’t get it fixed.
Although he said computers and me were not comparable, but I was not convinced after seeing all these things he had done wrong to me because of his stupid computer.
He then went out explaining how he thought a computer should work and how much he always wanted it to be toally under his control; but was it enough to make what he did become reasonable? Absolutely Not.
Anyway, he finally apologized that it was wrong of him to refuse installing a program on his computer; and he promised that he would try to change the way he saw his computer…… but so far, the only solution that he can see??? is…… re-installing Windows after having some “unwanted” program installed; and (be reminded!) the UNWANTED program is what I need to finish my assignment.
I doubt if he would simply let Windows do system restore in order to get rid of that “unwanted program”.
Anyway, back to what I orginally want to share tonight.
I really enjoy having “tech-talk” with my boyfriend, but it seems that what I’m interested in doesn’t quite fit his interests. After all, technology is a broad thing.
Two people who are both interested in “computer” doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re interested in the same thing. It could turn out to be something totally different from each other.
Although I’m not doing very well in my algorithm and data structure course, I’m really interested in it. I like it a lot more than programming; but it seems to me that many guys in CS are actually very interested in programming.
Yes that we are all interested in Computer Science, and that’s why we’re here; but I see programming and algorithm analysis are two different things— at least at my level, according to my very limited knowledge about computers.
Anyway, I know I’m not gonna be someone very big. I don’t even think that I would get a computer science job; but undoubtedly, it’s something that I’m really fascinated about.
Yeah I’m doing some Economics courses coz I think these are basic knowledges one should know in a society; but honestly I never find those money theories very fascinating.
On the other hand, some data structures are so interesting that when I first heard of it, I would shout loud in my heart, “WOW”!
Anyway, I guess I’ve complained enough of how cold my boyfriend were to my data structure question.
To have a boyfriend who can discuss with me this kind of computer questions is just a dying dream. I guess I’m so stuck with Chap that I finally will learn to accept it.
I remember when I was still with my ex, I was wishing that he was going to the same school as me and preferably, in the same major. Then I met Chap…… but it turned out that he was into film studies.
Funny that people seldom get the one they were always hoping for; and even if they finally find someone who has all the qualities they have ever wanted, they find that those actually are not what they want.
I know clearly what I love about Chap, and I guess it is what makes me think that he’s the one even though he may not have other things that I want.
okie okie! Got to get back to that median and heap question. I doubt if I have enough time to program it after getting the idea, but thank you for those who has triedso hard to help. I really appreciate it.
