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.
So sorry I haven’t posted to my blog or visited my dailies! Besides class, I’ve been busy helping Jem and the other programmer bees renovate the Qbee. We hope to reveal the new site by this weekend 
The new ‘bee has a lot of new fun features, plus a new design by Arien! I can’t wait until the site goes live.
While pruning the queue at Oh My Cuteness, I stumbled upon a wonderful site! Ragen, the author, has amassed quite a compilation of cuteness. Here are some of my favorite finds:
Do you have a scratch pad? I always keep a notebook at my side so that I can jot notes, sketch ideas, write reminders, etc. I usually keep a pen (preferably Uni-Ball Vision) in its spine for easy access. Right now, I’m brainstorming ideas for the Perfection forum on paper. The members don’t seem to like the Vanilla one I’ve currently installed, so I’m back to writing my own script 
If you have a personal website or weblog, you should check Perfection out…
Well, sort of. None of the content pages are up yet. You’ll probably notice bugs in the layout, such as irregularities between browsers… I’ll work those out asap. I felt like I needed to get something up because I miss blogging so much!
I have a lot of catching up to do, but first, I want to thank those who exchanged Christmas cards with me…

I’m in love 
I hope she puts some octopi up for adoption soon.
I recently held a contest at my webring, Oh My Cuteness, for the members to create new image codes. I’m so excited because I received a ton of beautiful submissions! Today, I chose the Grand Prize and Runner-Up:
Grand Prize: Anh - 
Runner-Up: Janet - 
If you have a cute site (that meets the requirements), then you should definitely join! Don’t worry about dead links in the ring because I check for them every night (with the aid of a script, of course … I’m not THAT much of a computer geek! ;))
I’m so excited!! I ordered the complete, uncut, original Japanese Sailormoon Season 1 and received it last night! I’ve only seen the crappy DiC dub of the first two seasons I popped the first disc in and started watching from the beginning. After getting a quarter of the way through the first episode, I thought to myself, “I’m not understanding what’s going on…”. I soon realized that there were no subtitles! (I was proud of myself, however, because I was following the Japanese pretty good 
) I started to panic, but then figured out how to turn on the subtitles.
Question: Should I be concerned if the set I ordered isn’t official? I ordered from a reputable seller on Amazon, but the box looks different from the box pictured. I planned on purchasing Sailormoon R this afternoon from the same seller, but I wanted to ask first.
For those of you awaiting the results of the Caption Challenge: I’m going to consult guest judges so that there won’t be any bias. I should have the results by the end of the next week

I think I found my all-time favorite CSS layout:
CSS Zen Garden: Zen City Morning
School is hard 
I don’t like studying and I HATE algebraic manipulation!!!
Does anyone know of any free (or free trial) programs to convert songs from .ogg to .mp3 or .wav?
Would you care to join Cute Top 25 or Oh My Cuteness?
