(This goes from 6 AM to 6 PM [PLAY BY PLAY]) [[WARNING I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL WRITER SO THE FORMAT OF THIS MIGHT BE HORRIDNESS AND I DID NOT REVISE AND EDIT THIS ]] I have been planning this day for at least a month ever since I heard about rob lox and maker faire I said I will go. A month ago i signed up or corp.roblox.com and got a email from becky (The BLOXFaire coordinator). I looked at my email every other day checked on the Houston maker website every day since i got that email. I was so stocked from the very beginning, and the anticipation grew as the event grew closer. I went trick or treating on friday the night of halloween, called my cousin and asked if he wanted to come to maker faire as my guest which i had signed up originally intending it to be my best friend but he had to cancel, and went to bed at 10:30 wanting to be at Houston maker faire. My family decided to come along except my sister who was going to six flags. My mom, brother, dad, and I got up at 6:00 am and got ready to go to Houston which was 3 hours away. We left the house at 7:30 then turned back because my little brother didn't take his meds and left the house again at 8:30. We got on the road and stopped at bucky's(A popular truck stop) around 30 mins into the trip to Houston. Me, my dad, and brother got breakfast since we souped breakfast, and got back on to the road after we filled up our gas tank. Another 2 hours in we called to tell my cousin we'd be there in 30 mins, and my aunt decided instead of meeting us there we should visit for a moment and then pick my cousin up. After we finally picked him up and left the house we had 40 mins to get to the convention center before i had to go show off my scripting at roblox booth. We got to maker faire 30 mins before i and to work at roblox booth. Me, and my cousin tried to look around but honestly all i wanted to do was work at the rob lox booth i couldn't wait but i didn't want to be rude and abandon him. We looked at the Quad Copter the "Useless Invention" that turned itself on then off. Finally it was my turn to work at roblox booth so i told Squidcod I was there he gave me a roblox card i said thanks, and tried to set up my mac to open studio. For the first 10 mins i tried connecting to the wifi (accidentally caps a letter that wasn't supposed to be caps). The next issue was studio was not opening, I assumed that i needed to update, and i was right. I clicked on the rob lox app which configured itself then tried to update and rejected itself. I kept clicking and clicking for the next 30 mins. I tried changing networks to the verizon MiFi roblox had (MiFi was set to WPA2). I connected back to the convention center roblox wifi and opened wireshark to try to diagnose a problem. I concluded the issue was defiantly wpa2 ciphers not being read and updated by my mac which had no configurations for wpa2 or anything like that. I was constantly trying to figure out how to fix it in the advance section of network preferences in my mac. I gave up and search google which told me i had to go to 802.1X(In network preferences) and configure the WPA2. Well let me tell you this google leaves out IMPORTANT details. I went to 802.1X on network settings which then didn't have ANY of the options google said it would have i assumed it was because its not running as System Administrator. So the next logical step for me was to open Terminal(Mac's Command Prompt/Shell) and use sudo to open it as system administrator. One major problem with that idea. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE ACTUAL NETWORK PREFERENCES APP IS LOCATED. Then that got me thinking why not try to execute the roblox app using system administrator. I used the command "cd Desktop/" and "ls -a" then tried the execution command on mac which was "exec". You may be thinking this seems logical and might work but let me tell you this I REALLY HATE MY MAC because of this result i got back when typing "sudo exec Roblox.app" the result was this and i quote "sudo: exec: command not found". I kept trying everything i knew and switched priorities often. Looked at wireshark then my network then tcpdump then etc. My mom told me it was time to give up, but i didn't listen i stayed two hours more trying to fix it. I never fixed it. I never got a chance to do what i wanted to do. I never got to show anyone what i learned BY MYSELF for the entire summer. I am not social so i only really talked to one person at the maker faire which was insanelyluke, and my cousin which i had not seen in 4+ years was there and i blew him off trying to fix my mac. It was 4:00 i decided its time to give up. During the entire event i put on a fake face I showed like i was happy but really was crying inside because i never got to do what i anted to do most what my number one priority for the entire month i had been planing practicing and anticipating. I viewed some of the stuff at maker faire for 20 mins, and during the event where i tried to fix my mac i missed the "best parts of the faire" which my cousin had invited me to but i denied trying to fix my mac and hoping i would and be able to show off. We left at 4:30 PM and went to a habachi place half way into going there i started crying looking what i did. I was thinking of how i wanted to show people scripting which i had a passion for but what happened was me cluelessly looking for ways to fix the wall i hit 4 hours 100% dedicated to trying to fix it. Since it was a public event at maker faire that was the only thing holding me back form punching anything and my self. I just hate absolutely hate how i got nothing I had been planning to do. When we got to the hibachi place my dad tried to cheer me up by showing me how everyone else enjoyed the maker faire that i talked them into going to. I cheered up right in time for dinner. We ate, played games on our phones, talked, and laughed at stuff that happened to us. My aunt decided we should visit her house after dinner. We got there my cousin played TF2 upstairs and told me how good yomosetie is talked me into downloading. I updated roblox didn't get to play ONE game or use studio once during maker faire. By the time this day was over it was 6:00 PM. Looking back on the day all i see is failure, a ripped t-shirt i got when i first came to the booth, a virtual hat, and 300 R$. I love roblox though the best game i have ever played and the ONLY game i have been playing for 2 years now. Even though today was a TOTAL bust for me I want to come back next year and try again. I hope you guys get to read this and like it i am sorry for my horrible grammar but I don't care about grammar as much as i do about programming. Looking at Squidcod's face to what i am doing its looked like "How the heck does this kid know this and understand it" when i pulled up wire shark and told him whats happening and what i thought was the issue according to the FIN,ACK request that were dropped by my computer on the receiving end cause the encryption setting was not there. The only way i can think of today is a bust i don't even know if ill be recognized for my attempts to try to fix the problem or if anyone believes me that i can program and fix the problem.The main reason i wanted to show off my scripting was because i hate it when people doubt my abilities to program to network engineer and skill at both of these. I hope i get recognized and not cry when i look back at this day. |
