PHP Spintax Class v2

Ronald — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:32:01 +0000

Just a quick fix, it now returns the spun text as a string. An additional argument was added so that the user can choose what to return the spun text as either as an array or as a string, and is set to string by default.

I just moved into my new apartment here in Tempe, and I’m about to start school on the 12th. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to begin. University of Advancing Technology is an amazing school, I’d recommend for anyone with technological aspirations.

no post for april

yup, april was a busy month, so no post

ZocialNET LOG 1

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 15:48:41 +0000

Yes I am finally finding time to continue my web operating system project, the ZocialNET, I will soon be starting on the ZocialNET OS based off a open source platform. The code will be available before next weekend. I’m on Camp Johnson in Jacksonville, NC for now. I wont be in Arizona till January when I can really start coding away. Life is good, and I can’t wait to get started back on the ZocialNET.

Going to USMC boot camp; June 29th

Ronald — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:55:56 +0000

Just in case you didn’t know, now you know. It’s true, and I’m ready. I enlisted in August, so I’ve been waiting a while, now i finally have my ticket (diploma) to go. I’m going into the USMC Reserve Force. Wish me luck. I’ll try and have an auto-post on my website every month. I’m not all the way sure what I’ve gotten myself into, but I will know next week. It feels right.

I really want to become a USMC pilot, and hopefully someday attain what it takes to become an astronaut.

After USMC boot camp I will be going to MCT (Marine Combat Training), then MOS school (My MOS will be 0151). After all that I start college at the University of Advancing Technology in January 2010 for Robotics and Embedded Systems. USMC will be one weekend a month.

About the USMC from Yahoo Answers:
The US Marines is a part of the Department of the Navy but not of the United States Navy. However, the two services work in close coordination. The US Marines is the only branch of the United States Armed Corps with a permission to do whatever the president may direct. The inception of the US Marines was in 1775 during the American Revolutionary War as the “Continental Marines”. They were the landing troops for the Continental Navy. After the disbandment in 1783, the final reformation of the Marines was in 1798.

The US Marines are the naval infantry with specialization in fighting on ships and conduction of amphibious assaults. The US Marines is the second smallest branch amongst the five branches of the United States armed forces. Their main purpose is combat and are adaptable to a broad variety of combat operations. It is a very fierce and effective fighting force and has never had any full and large-scale retreat.

The US Marines combine the three vital elements of combat (ground, sea and air) perfectly and are very adept at such tactics. All the US Marines, irrespective of the gender and occupational specialization, first receive training as riflemen. This is because it functions more as an infantry. Therefore, it rightly states “Every Marine a rifleman”. Their motto is “Semper Fidelis”, meaning “Always Faithful”.

The US Marines Flag has the colors of scarlet and gold along with the emblem: the eagle, globe, and anchor. The eagle represents the service of the US Marines to their country, the globe represents their worldwide service and the anchor is the representation of their sea traditions. These task forces are flexible and are generally of three sizes, depending on the amount of force necessary.

The US Marines do not wear berets and wear boots only with the utility uniform. They do not salute unless when wearing a hat. The US Marines do not have many awards and unit identifications.

Long lost update…

It’s been a very long time since my last post, and really sad that I’ve managed to only make two post this month, but a lot has been going on in my life. I have 60 days left till I ship off to parris island, and I can’t wait. Anyways… I am now an officially enrolled at the University of Advancing Technology, I will be pursuing a degree in Robotics and Embedded Systems starting January 2010. I am also the winner of the Ray Kurzweil Creativity scholarship which I am proud of. Right now Verdis Technologies, my small technology business has taken off. I’m proud of that, school is very easy and relaxing. My MK2 Supra will be out the auto shop tomorrow. A lot has happened, but not much to blog about. I’ll have more post within the next few remaining days before i ship to boot camp.

The ZocialNET project is still being worked on, as I have big plans for it.

This is my Fedora Core 10 Desktop (I have Windows 7 in Workspace 2 via VirtualBox, best setup ever):

My 85′ Celica Supra MK2 Project

Ronald — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:17:47 +0000

Alright, so I got a pretty good deal on an 85 Celica Supra MK2, the body is in great condition, absolutely no rust! Which is a good thing. It runs, and all it needs is a seatbelt, and a tune up. Later I need to get a new exhaust system-muffler (MagnaFlow pref.), a new bumper. Soon I will get some work done tot he body, fixing minor bumps, dents, and paint job. I’ll be getting the gold on black like the 82′ Celica Supra.

Here are some photos of my Celica, it looks pretty rough, but soon the car will begin to transform in to what I dream.

Change of Passion

Ronald — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 22:56:00 +0000

I’ve been thinking lately, what do I really want to do with my life? Well I’ve thought a lot about it. My heart is set on creating things, so first I want to be an engineer, but that’s not right. I just lack certain engineering potential qualities. In the end, I have came to the conclusion, that I want to be an Industrial Designer, I have made my final decision. I have a passion for creating, and designing, and have quit a history of it, but never quit recognized the field correctly. Well the plan now is to get a degree in Industrial Design, then I want to tackle wither robotics, or computer science/ or engineering. Designing robots, is what I want to do. It is what I will do. I’m not sure where to go to school at for Industrial Design for, but I will figure it out. I plan to start college in January, so I have plenty of time to get things together.

Below are some of my recent sketches for February 2009.
