The Random Blog

So, I know how to code in Java. I'm quite horrible at programming but I try my best to produce decent code. This is a just a collection of some random programs I made over the course of March, 2018 to August, 2018. This might also help some ICSE or ISC students out there who have opted for Computer Applications or Computer Science respectively. Just click the links below to view my code.

Sears, once the largest retailer in the world, is now facing bankruptcy. The company, which did not turn a profit since 2010 and was $134 million in debt, recently approached several banks to prepare for bankruptcy filing. Sears Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on October 15, 2018. The company said that it would close 142 Sears and Kmart stores before the end of the year. Its CEO, Eddie Lampert, would step down as well. Sears - A Retail Giant Richard Warren Sears started a mail order watch business in 1886 called the 'R.W. Sears Watch Company'. Within the first year he met Alvah C. Roebuck, a watch repairman. The next year, they relocated the business to Chicago. Sears started off by selling watches, diamonds and jewellery. The company continued to do so until it noticed the stagnant and dormant retail market. It soon realised that there was absolutely nothing to stop it from selling anything and everything. Being a mail-order business, Sea...

Alright, since almost all of my friends face issues while downloading my backgrounds from Dropbox, I've decided to make this short post to explain this excruciatingly simple process. Let's dive right in: iOS: Step 1: Once you tap a Dropbox link, you'll be directed to this screen. Just tap the cross or the 'Or continue to website' button. Step 2: On this screen, simply tap the three dots in the top-right corner. Step 3: Select the 'direct download' option from the menu which pops up. Step 4: A new tab will open up and an image will start loading. Let it load completely and long-tap it. Step 5: Select the 'Save Image' option from the menu which pops up. Step 6: Go to your images and open the 'Camera Roll' folder. You'll find your background there. Step 7: Voilá! Just set the image as your background. Android: Step 1: Once you tap a Dropbox link, yo...

Hey there! So, I have a good number of amoled backgrounds which I'll post on this blog and for the sake of convenience, I'll post them in parts. My fourth collection is a random assortment of miscellaneous backgrounds. The links to the other three parts are present at the end of this post. Now, let's view some of my favourite backgrounds of this collection. To download the wallpapers, simply click or tap them. You will be redirected to the corresponding Dropbox links from where you can get uncompressed versions of the wallpapers. My Personal Favourites 1. Star Wars: 2. Pokémon: 3. Random: I request you to download the wallpapers from the Dropbox links by simply clicking or tapping them. Please do not download the wallpapers by right clicking or long tapping them as the ones uploaded here are heavily down-scaled and compressed. That's about it for now. Again, I'll cont...

Shady's back, tell a friend. A few hours ago, Eminem released a new album called 'Kamikaze'. It has been named so because he did not promote the album beforehand. It just came out of the blue.  Since I'm away from home, I had no plans to write a blog post. However, I'm just too hyped to sit here and not talk about the album. So, here's my short review of Eminem's new album. Eminem's 'Kamikaze' is a breath of fresh air. The summer season was a little dull for the rap genre of music. People were not anticipating anything new (and great) to come out this year. However, Eminem's 'Kamikaze' dropped just in time. This album, produced by Dr. Dre and Eminem is exactly what the fans needed. In this album, Eminem has decided to destroy the stupid mumble rappers once and for all. He has also roasted Trump. Eminem's rapping skills are in top form in this album. The song 'Lucky You' has become on...

Alright, first of all, I'm sorry for not posting anything here for quite some time. I was a little busy organizing an event at school and covering up everything that was done in class. With that out of the way, I present to you my favourite Dragon Ball Super moments - Part 2. In this part, we'll focus on the Future Trunks Saga. Future Trunks is one of my favourite characters in Dragon Ball history. He's the son of future Vegeta and future Bulma. He is a caring, pure-hearted half-Sayajin who is ready to do anything to save the ones he loves. We have been introduced to his characteristic traits in different ways from his introduction in Dragon Ball Z to his farewell in Dragon Ball Super. The Future Trunks Saga further develops this amazing character and is therefore, one of my favourite sagas in Dragon Ball. 1. Future Bulma's Death: In the alternate timeline, Future Trunks is running and hiding from a mysterious being, causing destruction all over w...

Disclaimer - I do not recommend reading this post while eating something. Honestly, I do not recommend reading this post at all. But since it took me about 30 minutes to compile this post, I request you to go ahead and read it. So, last night at around 4, a cockroach entered my room and decided to crawl up to my left foot, which was loosely hanging from the bed. Waking up to something flimsy and filthy crawling on your foot is certainly not the best feeling ever. I got up (extremely startled), switched on the lights and saw the cheeky little creature run towards my dressing room at the speed of light, if not faster. I tried searching for it but I was unable to find it because that thing can hide in the tiniest of places. At 5, I decided to go in the lobby and crash on the couch. Therefore, the main purpose of this post is to explain why cockroaches are  EVIL: 1. Contamination - Cockroaches can eat anything and everything. They can feed on the food we eat, dead plants, dead ...
