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.

Back to School

Classes started yesterday :P I can’t believe the summer break is already over! I’m taking hard classes this semester:

CS 357: Data Structures
CS 325: Software Development & Systems
ECE 380: Digital Logic
Math 301: Discrete Mathematics

I’m a Senior this semester, but I have no clue when I’ll graduate. I switched majors the second semester of my sophomore year, which put me way behind. I need to take Calculus 2 rather than Math 301, but I think it will be too much for me x_x

Gotta go to work now. Don’t forget to join:

Gotta Love Weekends

Please Note: I’m going to be extremely busy for the remainder of this week, so please forgive me if I don’t 1) post 2) return comments 3) visit my dailies 4) respond to your email. (2/23/05)

Oh I just love weekends! I sleep all day and get absolutely nothing accomplished… how fun!! *sarcasm* Seriously, the only thing I did was wash a load of clothes and clean my bathtub. Sad.

I’ve been coding html in Notepad for years and I just recently discovered the joy of ‘Find’ and ‘Replace’ :sweatdrop: I’m working on validating my site XHTML Strict, but it may take a while. I installed Dodosmail 2.0 on my contact page. The new version is great! I love being able to use my skins on the error pages (Ahh, the simple pleasures in life!) Go ahead and test it out if ya want :-D Wordpress 1.5 was recently released, but I doubt I’ll upgrade anytime soon.

I had the greatest dream last night. It was so real… I was in space! I know that sounds dumb, but I was looking down at the earth from the shuttle and it was like I was actually there. This dream also inspired me to start writing yet ANOTHER story LOL

I really need to get in bed since I have to wake up early and complete the homework that I should’ve done over the weekend :-P 100,000,000 kisses to Renay for my *adorable* Valentine!

Tuan is my idol!!! His newest layout is sooo amazing. I’m so jealous!

Clumsy Me

I’m home until next weekend for my summer break. Believe it or not, I’m looking forward to my busy schedule. I feel much healthier when I’m busy ;)

Since I don’t have anything to blog about, I’ll just post a few plugs. Lately, I’ve been browsing the pups over at Dogster.Com. I’m going to make Paislea a page when I get a decent picture of her. I know that Dodo’s dog, Bubo, has a page… does your dog have one? Let me know, and I’ll plug your pup in my next post :nod: I just adore puppies! And let’s not forget about the kitties and hamsters, either.

Anyone seen the previews for the movie Hero? It looks really good, I can’t wait to see it.

I noticed Sam made a new, adorable skin. I also stumbled upon Leila’s Naruto adoption site, Right to Wear.

Well, I started this entry at 2:30 am. It’s currently 5:20 am. Around 3 am, I spilled Coca-Cola inside my laptop :worried: I thought I’d cleaned it up before it could soak in, but it suddenly shut down, and refused to restart. I called Dell customer support. I had to take my laptop apart to find the problem — the memory was covered in coke :shocked: I cleaned up the mess, and my computer is working fine now. I was a nervous wreck because I was afraid that I’d lost my beloved hard drive. Monday, I’m purchasing an Extended Warranty for my laptop and backing up my files.

That’s way too much excitement for one night :lol: Thanks for commenting: Mitu, Kitten, kitsune, Jenny, Ana, Christine, Katy, Rain, tuan, Chette, brittney, Michelle, and Jen.

Bubs on Holiday

Tomorrow morning at 7 am, I’m leaving for Destin, Florida and I won’t be back until late Friday night. I’m taking my laptop with me to the condo, but I can’t guarantee that I will be able to get online or blog for the next few days. As always, feel free to leave me loads of comments. It would be really nice to return from my vacation and find 100+ comments {hint hint} :nod:

Question of the Day: Wah on urth do peepz talk lyke dis on da net? It’s so ridiculous. An entry in Natasja’s guestbook brought that question to my mind… totally random, I agree. I have to plug Mitu’s Free for All Friday. On the last Friday of every month, she let’s her visitors post an entry in her blog under the FFA Friday category… I thought that was a pretty cool idea. Needless to say, I posted an entry :devil: I also want to plug Dodo’s new pom pup, Bubo. He is adorable! Be sure to take a look at the pictures she has posted on her site.

I really don’t have much to talk about. The past few days were pretty average. I went to a party last night and saw a lot of my pals from high school… that was fun. Yesterday afternoon, I campaigned door-to-door for one of my dad’s friends who is running for Circuit Court judge… that was tiring. I’m excited about starting my classes for my Computer Science major this summer, although, Calculus scares me a bit. I hope the weather is good at the beach. I’ve been looking forward to this vacation for a while! :tan: Last time I was in Destin, I started reading John Grisham’s novel, A Painted House. I hope to finish it up this week. It’s a great book so far.

The Oswald skin is back and I made a couple of cute emoticon pixels. Thanks for my comments: Sanne, Jem, tuan, Michelle, Sam, Joni, Christine, Mitu, Mandi, & Nagaki. Summer classes begin June 8. Next Sunday, hopefully, I’ll be back in Tuscaloosa with my beloved high-speed cable internet and I’ll be able to return all of your comments :D I hope everyone has a great week. See y’all Friday!

Proud to be an American! Just a little something to say thank-you to our troops & veterans. Feel free to take for your site. Have a happy, safe Memorial Day!

Edit 6/2/04: Yes, I’m here, but I’m not blogging because A) I want to see if you guys can reach 100 comments and B) I’m on vacation! Right now, there’s only 17 comments… 83 to go, better pick up the pace! :lol:

Please vote for my basket! (#77) Please vote for my basket at the Qbee

Edit 6/7/04: I’m back at my apartment, but I’m way too tired to blog right now :sleep: I PROMISE I will blog tomorrow!

Need… sleep….

~ (8/13/03) Hey everyone! I’m alive, but still really busy. I’m back in Tuscaloosa now. I’m trying to get situated in my dorm while training to be a RA (resident assistant)… Hopefully, after this week, I will be able to return to the normal daily posting… please stick with me though! hehe ~

I’m bored, so I guess I’m gonna blog hehe. My mom and I are pulling an all-nighter… she is working on a memo/bulletin board for me (its so cute!) and I’m “studying” for my History final :P I have soooooo much to do tomorrow, but I’m too tired to pack right now. I am such a lazy bum… whatever happened to staying off the computer and actually getting something accomplished?? LOL

Yes, that’s my new cell phone :* It’s pretty cool. My old one died on me. It was a good phone, I will always have such fond memories of it :tear: hehe. I still haven’t chosen a Site of the Moment… and I actually don’t think I’m gonna :confused: A lot of great sites applied, I don’t want to have to choose! Please don’t hate Bubs!

Ok, this is ridiculous. It’s nearly 5 am, and I have a final exam that I have not even studied for… I gotta get some rest!! I will leave everyone with a bunch of plugs… making this entry fit into the ‘plug’ category hehe ;) Night night.

Thanks Gaile, Peter, andres, Vee, Luccia, anjana, Mariela, rosa, Paula, Sam, Amy, Vicci, erin!, Tracey for commenting. Comments make my day!!!

Plugs of the Day:

Peter, S-S.Com, and Annia have new layouts. YAY! Thanks Vee for plugging moi :D Brittney (sp?), my friend from Bama, got a domain ^^ That’s all for now. Goodnight again!

2-OHH!!

You really outdid yourselves this time… 20 comments?!? Yay! Now let’s keep this pace everyday hehe :D Thanks: rosa, Peter, Veronica, Rachel, annia, Ali, carmen, natalie, Michael, Jenni, xuan, trac, anjana, Katherine, Karrie, court, and della for the wonderful comments!!!

The previous post seemed a bit jumbled, so I’m gonna try to keep the smilies at a minimum this time. Sorry for the lack of posts… like I said, my SNES has been keeping me occupied. Also, Peter and I are working on a new project (should be opening soon!)… I configured stuff for it all day. Last but not least, I had a history test this morning. I actually can’t count that as an excuse, since I started studying 2 hours before test time :sweat: hehe When will I learn that procrastination isn’t the answer?

Argh, this dumb javascript error is driving me insane!!! I don’t know what is causing it, so I can’t fix it. Anyone who wants to help me rid my site of it, please feel free to contact me! LOL

Anyways, I actually don’t have too much to chat about. (Well, the message board has been feelin’ a bit lonely lately ;) hint, hint) I’m also about to fall asleep *yawn* Since I don’t have any posts in the Plugs category, I will devote the conclusion of this entry to a couple of sites that caught my eye today: (Thanks in part to Provance.Net, which is also keeping me busy)

sonovivo.org (she shares my name)
eight (my favorite number!)
downbeat.nu (gorgeous layout)
aeriax.net (great font!)
sh0pah0lic.net (new domain)

Enjoy! Goodnight.
