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 27-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.

The Raccoon Hunter

Friday, Will got out my Super Nintendo and we played Mortal Kombat 2 all afternoon. On our way to dinner, we spotted a baby raccoon!

Baby Raccoon

I managed to chase him across the road to a closed gas station. There were some woods behind the gas station, so I figured he would find his way inside. Meanwhile, I returned to my apartment and grabbed my camera so that I could snap a picture to show my readers :beat: When I returned to the station, the baby raccoon was rumaging for food near the trees. After I took a photograph, I chased him into the woods. He was so cute! I wanted to take him home with me, but I figured he wouldn’t like that too much :hehe:

I wrote my first C++ program yesterday! Watch out Bill Gates, here I come :roll: My first Calculus test is this Wednesday… that should be exciting. In other news, I’m changing my second major to Computer Engineering since the required courses are practically the same as those required for Computer Science (my first major). My goal is to build my own computer before I graduate :woot: My college is supposed to have an excellent engineering program, so I have high hopes.

Emma has made a new layout for my fanlisting… it is adorable! :spin: If you like BubblesSOC.Net, please join! Also, don’t forget to vote for my basket at the Qbee – I’m #77!

    Somehow I can imagine you chasing after the little critter while it’s making it little raccoon noises (whatever that may be, never heard a raccoon before) going “Come back, I want to hug you!”. I know I would have. :beat:

    What a gorgeous little raccoon!! You are such a lovely person Bubs. :beat:

    Rock on with the C++ too! What compiler are you using? I’ve been meaning to look for one for Windows for months so I can start to teach myself the language, but I haven’t had the time! (I assume you use Windows? Don’t hate me if I’m wrong ;) )

    I’m using Mircrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 for Windows XP – it’s required for my class and it’s easy to use… so far :)

    Oh my, i can understand you wanted the raccoon, what a sweetie! But he probably has a mother already :-) . I used to help frogs crossing the road, i just can’t stand the idea of those critters being crushed by a car :dizzy: Once we had a hedgehog who came inside our kitchen to eat some cat food (^__^). Since we moved we kinda miss all the nature around us…

    Will’s little brother was going to kill a frog at their house the other night, so I rescued it and named it Frogger. It has apparently reproduced because their croaks keep Will’s family up all night :rofl:
