F is for Failure (but it's also for Future)


I've just had my exam results back and I got a fail! All my life I've been hitting A's like it was nothing and now I'm failing and getteing B's and C's if I work my ass off! Anyway, it hit me hard. It was almost as if this exam mark was a final call to me that to go on is pointless. I don't want to think like that, and actually I'm not, for the most part I'm a positive person. But the whole of last year I was questioning whether I even want to do chemistry. I can't really see myself in a lab, nor can I see myself solving massively complex mathematical equations in a computer lab. I can't even see myself as a lab technician. So what does that leave?



Well I could always be a teacher?

Teach Chemistry? Probably not! But then again, I would like to share a width of knowledge, I doubt I have the brain capacity to "specialise" in any particular subject, but so much about the world fascinates me. I'd probably be quite a good science teacher, if I could get my love for science across to the kids I teach, I could even change this inability for he country to think like scientists and look at things rationally.


"No! It's not down to 'good luck', it just happened. And NO! you can't get bad luck from breaking a mirror!"


But then again, I'd probably get too annoyed with the kids, and they'd bully me. And teachers are so unappreciated via wages.




So how about working in journalism? Well surely this blog shows how well I can write. I mean I'm about as good at writing metaphors as a blind monk, upside down, under duress. See what I mean? But seriously, I wouldn't even have to just be the science correspondant (but that would be very cool) I think reporting art, or music would be very enjoyable. I'm really into photography and art and music and anything not scientific, that's probably just since I want to do something different in my spare time.

In summary, I'd enjoy journalism, but I just wouldn't be good enough at it to make a reasonable living! And A reasonable living and happy family life is all I ask for in this world.


So how about being a Science Museum Curator? Well that sounds very nice. I mean I can use my lower education in art (setting up displays, designing flyers etc.) and also keep up with the science community; when a new discovery is found I'd have to make an exhibition, and make it accesible to everyone tht visits the museum, keeping it fun and enjoyable (for them and me as well :))


I don't know where I'm going right now. But does anyone? Probably better if you don't answer that, you probably do know where you are going but that doesn't mean I'm any less of a person. Perhaps I'm destined to dip, but not swim, in the shallow end of lots of subjects. Succesful people have done that before. Why not me?

http://www.deathball.net/notpron/finale/pron.htm "aliens are coming" Source code says "what am i?" After the image file. 1. What are you looking at? 2. It's clear there is no link, so you don't need to look for a user name and password. 3. You ned to change the URL. 4. Keep guessing what you are looking at. 1. I tried "/ufo.htm" and got wrong way. 2. Then I tried "/egg.htm" and got another wrong way. 3. One of the "Wrong Way" clues says you have seen this before. 4. I guessed "/lamp.htm" which was RIGHT! :)

Level 16

Image
http://www.deathball.net/notpron/zoo/mznvh.htm This is the image you are presented with. It's clear upon first inspection that each of the squares corresponds to each of the previous 15 levels. 1. The source code says "invert a-z" 2.Could this have something to do with the URL? 3. What do the numbers in the pictures mean? 4. What does # mean? 5. Apply what you've been told to the levels referred to. 1. Inverting the letters in the URL gives. "all/names.htm" 2. You know it has to do with the usernames of the levels concerned. 3. The # indicates that the name is inverted (the clue is in the source code) 4. The numbers in the boxes must refer to the letter number of the user name for that level. 5. When there is a # after the number that means, invert the letter. 6. Combining all the letters from the usernames you get the following DOOM MURDER And there's the Username and Password :)

This is notpr0n...

OK! I've had a new idea for this blog. I'm supposed to be revising! HAH! So obviously I've started playing notpr0n again! It's a massive online click and play webriddle! And it's nigh on impossible (for me anyway) without help. So I've decided to go through each level I've down and write hints and teasers for each level, then in a black font I'll write the solution to each level. This was, those who don't want to see the answer don't have to. And those that do want to see the answer simple have to -A to select all writing on the page and view the solution. 1 last thing, I can't be bothered doing all the levels, so I'll start from where I left off before I started revising (in my opinion this is wher eit starts getting hard. LEVEL 16 FOLLOWS!
