Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Revenge of the Sid

Entertainment Personal Photos

It’s been a while, huh? :sweatdrop: I really haven’t been in the mood for the internet lately… these past weeks have been pretty crazy. If you’re interested in some of what’s been going on, check out my livejournal. It’s a protected entry, so just let me know if you want me to add you as a friend ;)

So, I got a new job. Well, two jobs actually, but the first job is for course credit instead of money. First off, I was asked to design the website for the Philosophy department at the university. I’m really excited since I’ll be able to use some of my new CSS and PHP skills :nod: Second, I’m working as a systems administrator for the Business school technology department. I just started last Monday and I’ve already learned a ton of new stuff. I’m currently shadowing a grad student who is moving soon. He totally lost me today talking about networking… Hopefully I’ll understand it better once I start playing with it.

You may have noticed already, but I finally converted my site to pure css! (i.e. The content is exactly the same on every page. The layout is totally governed by a stylesheet) Take a look at my page with the stylesheet turned off and you’ll see what I mean. I’ve only implemented Bliss, 3-d, Doodleblog, Fruit, and Cleaned-Up so far… I’ll get around to fixing the other skins sometime this summer :lol: Oh and also, BubblesSOC is now valid XHTML 1.1.

Darth SID-uous!!

Who all went to see Revenge of the Sith? I did, twice! :spin: Will and I met some friends in Birmingham for the midnight showing. While waiting for 12am to roll around, I ventured to Wal-Mart to buy a light saber. They were sold out, so I got a Vader mask instead. I think I was the first Darth Vader to don a mini-skirt :rofl: I went to see it again with my dad on Saturday. The special effects were mind-blowing and I’m buying the soundtrack as soon as I get paid. I thought it was amazing, but my heart still belongs to the original trilogy. I have to admit though, Anakin is pretty hot :beat: You can listen to some selected Star Wars tracks in my Radio Blog.

My inbox is overflowing!! I’ll try to get back to everyone who has emailed me asap. Next week, I’m going to start getting the Qbee Admin Script ready for public release. Well, that’s all I gots to say tonight! If you’re lucky, I’ll post again tomorrow hehe

    Wheee! Star Wars!

    Being the Star Wars fangirl that I am, I’ve seen it three times already, and will most likely be going at least one more time this week. I just can’t get enough. I think it’s a fabulous movie.

    Eli and I went to the midnight showing (the first time) with a group of friends. We brought our lightsabers, but I left my Vader mask at home because I knew I wouldn’t want to wear it all night, and I definitely didn’t want to carry it around all night. I got to play with a Force FX lightsaber that night too, which was completely awesome.

    I haven’t had a chance to watch Star Wars. I’ve never really been that big of a fan yet. Congrats on making on your site pure CSS. It looks fantastic :) I must say that I’ve been enjoy your site for months and I’ve learned a lot here.

    I was wondering where you got off to! I saw Star Wars last Saturday :D It wasn’t awesome, but I was actually able to follow it, unlike the first two. I still love the last three (4, 5 & 6) best though. :beat:

    Yay, an update! Revenge of the Sid…cutest blog title ever!

    Star Wars was great. I’ve seen it three times LOL. Can’t get enough of it.

    Congrats on your new jobs!

    Your site looks great. I need to convert my site to pure CSS too, but I get so lazy and I have to admit, I tried before and had a little trouble and gave up LOL. Maybe I’ll try during summer as well :P.

    Star Wars was good but it could have been better. Alas, at least it didn’t suck, ;)

    And Anakin is like… mega hot. :9

    Hey Bubs! I still can’t get over the awesomeness of your new skin! :beat:

    I’ve seen “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.” I loved it and not only because I love Ewan and Hayden (haha). I still can’t get over the fact that they defaced Anakin :cry:

    Enjoy your “Memorial Day!”

    Star Wars! Fweeeeee :spin:

    I’ve only seen a few of the movies, so I might watch the rest before I see this one. It’s so confusing, the way the released the 3rd, 4th, and 6th, and then released 1st, 2nd, and 3rd :confused:
