Hey Wildcats.
In this article, I will talk about the new JDMS Android application that should be released late 2013 or early 2014.
JDMS first started off as a plain, free-modeled place from it's development in 2011 to the late 2012. Since we improved, we gathered many suggestions from our members; cheerleading, systems, and one of my favorite, application development. There's more on this.
Erik Cassel High School [ECHS]
Hey Wildcats.
So after Erik Cassel's death, many users made their avatar look like Erik's avatar to show respect. I didn't plan to make myself look like him because... I look weird. :P But in my way of showing respect, I plan to make a new high school for the rising 9th graders of JDMS. That's right, Erik Cassel High School. It will be a contemporary and modern style, with Windows 8 logo and graphical designs. cuz i wuv it.
I expect the construction to end before August, because that is when I go to high school, and a possibility I may quit ROBLOX.
Speaking of quitting, I am quitting because of high school. I really want to pass, graduate and get to college, because school is one of my most favorite places to visit. BUT, if you want me to not quit, then I expect JDMS and the ROBLOX community to behave, and avoid ODing; because ODing is one of the other reasons I'm quitting. Look, YOU CAN'T HAVE SEX ON ROBLOX. And ODing is also referred as sexting. I am serious. XD
Anyway, ECHS will be my way of showing respect to Erik, and for JDMS's rising 9th graders.

Valentines
Hey Wildcats.
Happy Valentines Day!
So many of you are post "forever alone" in the comments. Well first, STRAIGHTEN YOUR MOUTH.
Happy Valentines Day!

I don't want to see any...

| FOREVER ALONE |
You shouldn't say that you will be alone for ever because there is a 85% chance that it is possible to not be forever alone. I have a hard time to ask a boy/girl out as well and I am still forever alone, but I'm not depressed as much. There are other people that are different, they get depressed. Well, that's true. It can be a hard time to find the right boy/girl and yet, could take some time. You would always have to understand and think about what you would say to a boy/girl. Don't judge them based on their appearance. It doesn't matter if they look like Bad Luck Brian, or fat. Think about what they do, if they bad things, then therefore...
If they do good stuff, then therefore...
I mean, if your crush does bad stuff but is NOT involved in recent crimes, then... it's neutral. Just remember to know them well before asking them out.
Also, please do NOT Online Date on ROBLOX because that is the MOST ignorant thing to do. You don't even know who the hell that other user is...

Remembering Erik Cassel
Hey Wildcats.
Today is a very sad day for ROBLOX, including JDMS. One of the co-founders of ROBLOX, erik.cassel, has died. Did he get shot? No. Did he commit suicide? No. Did get into a car accident? No. Did he have cancer? Yes. Cancer was the result of his death.
I first met Erik right after he had graduated from Cornell University. At the time I had just founded a company called Knowledge Revolution. We were developing educational software for teaching physics. Erik read about our product in MacUser magazine, and flew out to interview. During the interview Erik showed me an awesome piece of software he wrote for the physics department of Cornell. It was elegant, fast, and hinted at Erik’s incredible talents.
Knowledge Revolution went on to win many, many awards for our products — Interactive Physics and Working Model. Erik was our VP of Engineering. His style was completely open and honest, and he always made decisions based on what was best for the team. Erik was referred to as “WYSIWYG” (what you see is what you get) by a famous VC. He was also extremely nice to everyone he met, even people he didn’t quite get along with. It’s hard for me to imagine anyone who ever met Erik who didn’t think of him as warm, kind and welcoming.
Interactive Physics was used by millions of students around the world, and was an early version of many 2D physics sandbox games you see today (20 years ago!). Knowledge Revolution was eventually purchased by MSC.Software, at that time the leading provider of engineering simulation software. Erik and I both took senior roles in the company, but after a few years, we both left.
Erik and I kept in touch. We reminisced about how users of Interactive Physics software used it for fun rather than school! Kids would build all kinds of funny contraptions with the product. We talked about what would be our ultimate idea for an online toy – a 3D world that was completely physically simulated, where users could build, share and play.
Erik and I worked on the original ROBLOX product for two years in an office in Menlo Park, CA. We spent every day designing, talking, and coding. Erik was so incredibly talented.
Erik took many of my hokey, short-sighted design ideas and made them elegant and extensible. It was Erik who first thought ROBLOX needed an API and scripting engine rather than the more hard-wired approach that I had suggested.
When Erik built something, he always built it right. There was never a question of a hack or a band-aid or a bolt-on with Erik when it came to software engineering. In certain cases, knowing that something was going to be short lived or replaced, Erik would suggest a “quick and dirty” solution, but it was always a very deliberate and conscious decision. After learning of his cancer, Erik worked selflessly to make sure his knowledge and insights were transferred to members of the ROBLOX engineering team.
All of us at ROBLOX will miss Erik deeply. He will always be a role model to me and to all who worked with him. We celebrate the time we have been able to spend with him. Erik was incredibly talented, but I will always think of him as the “nicest guy I’ve ever met.”
Many members of the ROBLOX team have spent many years as friends and colleages of Erik. Here are some of their reflections.
Erik taught me to be an engineer. I had just finished my 10th or so year of engineering school, but I hadn’t learned to be an engineer until I met Erik. Engineering is about iterating. It’s getting something working and making it better. It’s making something better by watching it work. My education taught me to think, understand and plan. Erik taught me to do and learn.
Erik’s unique talent was being able to instantly shift from rapid prototyping to delivering the highest quality production code. Erik built much of ROBLOX’s original web infrastructure, and we marvel today at how much it has scaled, and, especially, at how one person built so much, so well, in so little time. It is beyond unique. Over the years, Erik continuously inspired me to iterate, to deliver fast, and to know when to demand quality. His spirit is the basis of our engineering culture, and his conduct inspired the ROBLOX core values.
Though Erik had a profound impact on my career, I will always remember him first and foremost as a friend. We watched a ton of movies together, mostly really bad ones, but that was good. He helped my wife and I move into our first house. He shared in my daughter’s arrival, and we celebrated birthdays together. We shared many a beer, and lots of good food. We shared laughter most of all, and I am comforted to know that I put more than a few smiles on his already smiling face.
To anybody who spent much time in Erik’s company, it quickly became apparent that he was gifted in many ways. He possessed a formidable intellect, a generous spirit, uncanny engineering instincts, a joyful sense of humor and an industrious work ethic, just to name a few. But I think Erik’s greatest gift was one that is less conspicuous, in that you couldn’t see it by looking at him. Rather, you had to look to yourself and those around you to appreciate Erik’s wonderful ability to inspire. Working alongside him, I routinely found myself wanting to accomplish more audacious things, to undertake them with a higher standard of excellence, to worry less about why some people say they can’t be done and find out simply by doing. That was Erik’s way, of course, and it was contagious.
I’m proud to have worked together with Erik at ROBLOX and honored to have been his friend. The grief over losing him is great, but the inspiration that comes from having known him is greater still. Thank you, Erik. I miss you already.
Of course, it was immediately clear to me Erik could work magic as a programmer. Yet as I grew to know him better, I was able to see what an amazing person he was in so many other ways. Everything Erik did, he approached with passion, creativity and respect — and he treated all of his many successes with quick deflection of praise to others. Some years later, Erik and I carpooled from San Francisco to San Mateo; during the commute we discussed projects and technical problems from work. Bay Area traffic being what it is, we also had time to discuss many other topics, from our favorite bands to San Francisco restaurants to epic mountain biking trails to politics, and throughout all these times I was constantly reminded of the same sweet, passionate and brilliant person who helped me years earlier. It is rare when you meet someone who so genuinely and completely possesses all of these qualities. I feel grateful to have known Erik.

Okay you know what, I'll just copy and paste the article from ROBLOX. XD
Dear ROBLOX Community,
Yesterday morning, Erik Cassel, my co-founder at ROBLOX, passed away.
Erik had been battling cancer for the past three years and his passing
is a deep loss. I have worked with Erik for over 20 years, first at a
company called Knowledge Revolution, then since the start of ROBLOX. I
would like to tell you about Erik, and how his incredible talents
continue to shine through in ROBLOX.I first met Erik right after he had graduated from Cornell University. At the time I had just founded a company called Knowledge Revolution.

Keith Lucas
I first met Erik in January, 1997 when I applied to be a part-time customer service engineer for Knowledge Revolution. A few friends kept telling me about this cool little company that made physics simulation software for Boeing, Lockheed, & Ford. Erik was VP of Engineering, and David Baszucki was CEO. In a short time, I learned the secret of Knowledge Revolution’s success – Dave’s Audacity of Vision coupled with Erik’s Capacity to Deliver. They were optimistic and fast, and no other company I looked at could compete. I was thrilled to receive a full time offer to work on Erik’s team.Erik taught me to be an engineer.

I liked Erik immediately and immensely. He was an incredible guy; a genuine, fundamentally decent human being. It has been a pleasure over the years to come to know him both as a colleague and as a friend, and it saddens me deeply to realize that the journey together only goes this far.To anybody who spent much time in Erik’s company, it quickly became apparent that he was gifted in many ways.

Tim Loduha
I met Erik when I joined his and Dave’s pre-ROBLOX company, Knowledge Revolution. This was my first “real” job after grad school and, needless to say, I was a little intimidated with the change of scenery and my new responsibilities. These concerns were soon assuaged working with Erik, as I was instantly struck by what a kind, helpful, brilliant and humble person he was. With Erik there was no ego, no arrogance, no impatience — just unmitigated sweetness and willingness to help, to teach and to solve whatever problem was in front of him, effectively and elegantly.Of course, it was immediately clear to me Erik could work magic as a programmer. Yet as I grew to know him better, I was able to see what an amazing person he was in so many other ways.

ODing and How It Affects Us
Hey Wildcats,
This week, I've been getting constant reports of users doing their most frequent activity.
This week, I've been getting constant reports of users doing their most frequent activity.
ONLINE DATING
Now what is online dating?
Well online dating is a common activity that happens on ROBLOX on roleplay games such as 1dev2's "Welcome to the Town of Robloxia", spyr0372's "Complex V.4.", or JDMS. Online Dating is abbreviate as ODing. Anyway, ODing has became a BIG issue ahead of bullying in JDMS. There are users smoochin over there, smoochin over here, smoochin in the bathroom stall, but it's everywhere in ROBLOX, not just JDMS. You don't expect a small server to become a library, because it will become a total distraction when ODers visit.
How can we stop ODing?
It's kind of impossible to stop ODing, as I said it's everywhere. But the possible way to stop ODing is to break up the daters and bomb (as in ruin) the prom (if available). But how will you break up the ODer? Well, cheat on the other dater, even though you are not an ODer. Just be warned, I am not responsible if you get banned. How to bomb the prom? Well, form a large group of users. Go to where the prom is hosted, and start making a big commotion and raid. Possibly, they'll leave.
Why can't we have ODing? It's fun!
We can't have ODing because there are youngsters in JDMS. I mean, who knows if they're a teen or a kindergartener. And no, don't start being mean to the youngsters. We were all youngsters (I can't believe you don't know that.) Anyway, there's really no benefit to ODing. ODing doesn't make a difference in your life. You can't marry a user no you can't kiss a user (you're just kissing the monitor).
How does ODing affect you?
It gives other ROBLOX users a negative image of what JDMS is like. JDMS is primarily a school to learn at and to enjoy, not to smooch in the bathroom stall. It's a school with a good environment. But the more you OD, it makes the JDMS staff's job harder, and I couldn't even get things done.
So I hope you understand about how ODing is just nothing.
-Mr. Miyake (Coldplay765) Assistant Principal of JDMS.
Applications
Hey Wildcats.
Many of you are asking how, or when to become a teacher.
-HOW-
A teacher must take high priorities and responsibilities when they teach a class or need to do work. And yes, you do have to do this in JDMS to. We roleplay in JDMS, so we don't goof around (unless I want to. XD) in class.
A teacher also has good grammar or vocabulary. If you're under the age of 13, you do not have to have good grammar or vocabulary, but we do want your sentences and chats to make sense and readable.
A teacher must be nice and supportive to students, including users. They should help, and not yell at, even if you're pissed off. Here are examples:
Appropriate Dialog:
Treeless: Mr. Wizzi, will you help me on this problem?
CoolWizzi0: Sure. What is it?
Treeless: What do I put for "Name?"
CoolWizzi0: Good question. You put your name!
Treeless: Okay, thanks!
Inappropriate Dialog:
Treeless: Mr. Wizzi, will you help me on this problem?
CoolWizzi0: What the hell do you want?
Treeless: What do I put for "Name?"
CoolWizzi0: WHAT THE HELL, ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU PUT YOUR STUPID NAME DUMBO.
Treeless: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
The inappropriate dialog will result in suspension and disciplinary actions to the teacher. So please, be polite and act kind.
When applying to become a teacher, you should access the staff application from the website or the blog when available. It's very simple and could take only about a minute.
[NOTE] If you are an 8th grader in the group, you will automatically become a volunteer for JDMS if optional. This will be decided by the JDMS administrators.
-WHEN-
The JDMS administration services will reopen the JDMS applications by June 18th - 19th 2013. Then for next semester, January 15th - 16th 2014.
So anyway, I hope you understand the advisories and examples listed in the post.
GO WILDCATS!!!

[TIP] Slow Computer? Low Memory?
Do you have a slow computer or have low memory? Here is a possible way to increase space on your computer.
WINDOWS 8:
1. Press WINDOWS KEY+W or go to the Metro Start Screen. Search for "Disk Cleanup." Click on SETTINGS if you are on APPS. Find an icon with a green wave in a monitor.
WINDOWS 8:
1. Press WINDOWS KEY+W or go to the Metro Start Screen. Search for "Disk Cleanup." Click on SETTINGS if you are on APPS. Find an icon with a green wave in a monitor.
2. Click on it. Please wait a moment while the system scans through unnecessary files. Don't worry, the Disk Cleanup will not damage your computer. Anyway, after a moment, you should see this window pop up.
3. You can check box which ones you would like to delete. I can free 1.00 MB of disk space on my drive. 1.00 is not a big size, so it's not really taking up a wide range of space. If any of the files or folders are 400+ MB or even over 1.00+ GB, then I would delete them.
[NOTE] Click "Clean up system files" for more files and folders.
4. When you select the files or folders to delete. Click OK. Windows will start permanently deleting the files from your system.
Questions you might ask:
Q: Does this work on previous Windows operating systems?
A: Yes. Vista and 7. You go to START and search for Disk Cleanup I am not sure about XP, because it's been a long time since I used that. I assume all of you have XP, Vista, or 7. Not 95, 98, ME, or 2000.
Q: Will this damage my computer?
A: No. It safely deletes your unnecessary files and folders. If you want to know more about Disk Cleanup, click "How does Disk Cleanup work?" on the Disk Cleanup window.
Q: How long will it take to remove the files from my system?
A: It depends on how large the files or folders are. Be patient.
If you bought a new computer replacing your old one that was slow and low on memory, then you can do the same procedure. Many computers have Disk Cleanup.
