I’m still alive, just redesigning
In the meantime, why don’t you visit Perfection?
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.
I’m trying my best to come up with a new design for BubblesSOC, but haven’t had any luck thus far
My baby, Perfection, now resides at per.fectio.net … catchy, huh? I have to thank Jem and Versteckt for the idea.
I bought Animal Crossing for Nintendo DS! It’s my favorite DS game so far
If you’re interested in playing with me, please email me or leave a comment.
Edit: I just bought a turtle! Actually, I ordered him. He’ll be arriving on Thursday
I named him Sparticus after my friend Andy’s gamertag. In my strange world, all of my friends have animal names. Andy’s animal was a turtle, therefore, my turtle inherited his name. Make sense? Probably not. My best friend Rach says that I’m going to be the crazy lady with lots of cats one day. I believe her. I would buy a cat now, but I’d have to pay a $300 fee for a cat in my apartment
Ok, now here’s Bubs’ Animal Census:
1 guinea pig - Coco
1 maltese pup - Pixie
2 parakeets - Bit & Byte
6 fish
1 turtle - Sparticus
Finally, my summer web project is complete! (Well, 90% complete ;)) I coded it from scratch, so I’m very proud of it. Please check it out and let me know what you think!
Edit: Are my anti-hotlink images popping up? 

Someone blogged about a new game starring Princess Peach for Nintendo DS. I thought it looked like a fun game, so I bought a Nintendo DS Lite tonight. I haven’t wanted one, but I’m just the most impulsive person you’ll ever meet. I mean, it wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be and I just got paid, so why not? It’s totally logical
I’m glad I got it, though. It’s a lot of fun! If you want to race me in Mario Kart, let me know and we’ll play online as soon as I figure it out.
My next impulsive purchase will be this:
I found this one on eBay, but the price seems a bit high. Does anyone know a store that carries it? The eBay auction says that its super rare, and I think I believe them.
Peace prize winner ‘could kill’ Bush
If that isn’t the definition of an oxymoron, I don’t know what is! Is it just me or is anyone else tired of politics? You can’t go see a movie anymore without someone’s political views getting dumped in your lap. I’m all for healthy political debates, but there is a time and place for it.
I have a bad habit of singing songs about my dog. And I just started singing aloud at work. Thank goodness everyone has left for the day.
Movies I can’t wait to see:
The Fountain
Children of Men
The Prestige
Apocalypto
Spider-Man 3
Casino Royale
In other news, I’m almost finished revamping my old clique, Perfection. It’s going to be my new baby… I can’t wait to reopen it 
The parrot in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 inspired me to buy a bird. I went to Petsmart with the intention of getting a Cockatoo or Cockatiel, but decided to purchase 2 Parakeets instead (due to lack of funds hehe). Now the animal count is up to 10 — dog, guinea pig, 2 birds, and 6 fish
Any name suggestions for the new birds? They are both female 
The UK recording industry is urging the foreign secretary to raise the issue of Russian bargain music download website allofmp3.com at the G8 summit.
Forget about AIDS, war, and poverty… let’s just make sure no one is buying crappy music at a discounted price! 
Just when I thought I’d learned all I need to know about webdesign (not literally), I come across mod_rewrite - which is quite useful! I still have the hardest time comprehending regular expressions, so I’m just using it in its simplest form. Rather than typing profile.php?id=1 every time I want to access a member profile I can use profile/1 instead! Neil Crosby can explain it better than I, so I’ll leave the job to him. Btw - if you are using an .htaccess file to protect against direct linkers, you are using mod_rewrite!
Speaking of direct linkers, I made a new hotlink warning image:

(I stole the ingenious idea from Jem :))
Look what I found! Poor Coco is going to have a whole wardrobe soon…
