Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 26-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 woke up this morning to find the following email (after the cut) waiting for me. I’d stumbled upon MyDesignAward in the past, but never bothered submitting my site. Since I was invited, I thought why not give it a shot? After submitting I realized that the email was probably some sort of advertising scheme
In my previous entry (now deleted) I posted my Xbox Gamercard. Today, I noticed that it wasn’t showing up. I checked the source and found this spam lurking:

<p class="bll"> <a href="http://forum.freeboards.net/index.php?mforum=buylevitraon">buy levitra online</a></p>
I didn’t put it there… Can spam edit WP entries now? Scary
My Powerbook is acting up again. I’ve never heard of anyone having the amount of problems with an Apple computer as I have. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still Apple’s #1 fangirl, but these constant problems are getting ridiculous. I purchased an external hard drive about 2 months ago, so everything is backed up, but I still don’t like going through the process of reinstalling all the programs.
i somehow managed to break my computer again… and i’m really scared i lost everything. i should’ve learned to make backups on a regular basis, but there’s no use crying over spilled milk. i don’t know of anyone who has had as many problems with their powerbook as i have. i’m beginning to wonder if i’m cursed when it comes to computers… maybe i should change my major and go to school for another 6 years???
I have to end my obsession with Design Snack… it’s raising my blood pressure! The members downvote BEAUTIFUL sites such as Soap Media, Renegade Zen, Simply Jazzmin, and Draft.Media with little or no explanation and then turn around and vote positive on PAGE-BUILDER and table-riddled sites!
I had a conversation with one of my mentors recently on my ‘webdesign skills‘ and I came to the realization that I care more about code than pretty graphics. To me, code is as much an artform as a painting or a photo. And I find myself getting very offended when someone says, “People flaunting the fact that their website is valid XHTML and tableless CSS are stupid…” I’m sorry, but I’m quite proud of the fact that I take the time and effort to create a clean, original, and accessible website. Anyone can open up MS Frontpage, drag and drop a few pics, then call it a webpage but very few can pull out notepad and cook up a large website from scratch using PHP, XHTML, CSS, etc.
Sorry about that rant… I just had to get it off my chest. Any thoughts?

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.

Forget about AIDS, war, and poverty… let’s just make sure no one is buying crappy music at a discounted price!
Well, my less than a year old Powerbook crashed and I lost everything. So much for buying a new computer. Thanks a lot, Apple.
target disk mode saves the day! the hardware is ok, but the operating system is corrupted (I was on the phone with tech support for an hour this morning). i’ll post more details when i have a decent keyboard.
I know this is immature, but it’s too much fun!

She has plastered her site with stolen pixels and refuses to take them down. I asked her nicely, but she responded by saying that I had big teeth and that I was fugly and so were my pixels. Of course, I keep egging it on, but she won’t take down the pixels, soooo…. feel free to leave her mean and threatening comments
As far as I can tell, our conflict has been resolved
