Why I Love God Mode

The Control Panel is the panel for taking control of your computer. It serves as a place for options when needed. It is reliable, helpful and powerful, yet it may give frustration to the average user. I, myself, am not an average computer user but I still stumble upon using the interface of the Control Panel. Sure, it looks fairly simple, but I’d like to have something where you have all the possible (and maybe more) options to control and customize your computer.

God Mode is a “hack” (a hidden tool) on a folder where, when entering a certain code, creates a folder that turns into, in my opinion, a collapsed and expanded form of the Control Panel. It holds options that allows you to play around with the settings of your computer.

Personally, I love God Mode because it has all of these settings options and other things that I didn’t know you can do with a computer, all in one “folder.” It’s definitely worth a try.

To create God Mode is fairly simple. Follow these simple steps:

1. On your desktop, create a new folder.
2. Name it GODMODE.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. Remember that this is the full name. Simply copy this code and paste it as the name of the folder.
3. When done properly, it should change the logo to the Control Panel logo and keep the name that you gave it. You can replace “GODMODE” to whatever you want. Whatever is in the fancy brackets is important and should not be changed.
4. Open it and stare in awe at the magnificent power you now have.

Programmers and Music

When my Computer Science teacher gave us an assignment or project, it would usually take me a while to figure things out. I want to make sure that I knew every concept and more. I tried to make sure that I was ahead of the class, not only because this is my future  but it’s also because I enjoy the course.

So, while I’m working my butt off either asking people (like tPenguinLTG) for some Java help or just reading information, pages and pages of forum answers and other resources, I need a proper setup. I have a nice router extended from the basement all the way to the 2nd floor of my house. I always have either a can Arizona iced tea or a cup of coffee before or while writing code.

I use Eclipse, which is a free IDE. It’s by far my favourite IDE because of its functionality and ease of us. The user interface is awesome and it actually helps you become a better programmer.

Finally, there’s one thing that I always have to have when writing code. I need music.

This may be weird to some, but I love listening to classical music when writing code. I usually listen to Ludwig van Beethoven, Vivaldi and Mozart. I have a small compilation of music that usually runs approximately five hours is more than enough for me.

These are definitely in my playlist.

Symphony No. 5 – Beethoven

Four Seasons – Vivaldi

The reason why I like listening to some classical music is because it helps me relax. Coding is stressful. You can ask any programmer, veteran or beginner, and they’ll tell you the same thing. Also, listening to musicians such as Mozart helps the brain function better. I guess that’s one of the reasons why we have a small cassette collection of Mozart.

Try listening to some music while coding. Take a pick of any genre that you enjoy, make a playlist and just do it.

Execute Jokes

There are so many jokes out there about computers. I’m sorry I haven’t done this in a while, but I completely lost time on finding some good jokes.

Here are a few good ones that will surely make you laugh!

If at first you don’t succeed, call it version 1.0

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

In a world without fences and walls, who needs Gates and Windows?

I’m not anti-social; I’m just not user friendly.

My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

Here’s the last one. It’s some funny code.

if (computer.fail == true) {
    background.setColor(blue);
    user.frown();
    sys.shutdown();
    user.scream("OH, F**K YOU");
}// Awesome and Keep Chewing!
