  • Silly games.

    Logic game have always entertained me. However, I find myself being consumed by the fact that YC can kick my butt at sudoku. Seems like I can only win one out of every 5-6 games… where as other people I seem to consistently win against. Maybe I’m a masocist to want to play her. I…

  • Ubuntu on Compaq Evo N800c

    I took the leap and installed ubuntu dapper 6.06 on the laptop. I’m quiet impressed with the speed, and everything. I had some issues with getting the wireless network card to work properly. I’ve got it working, but I still have to do something manual with it, “sudo ipdown ath0” “sudo ipup ath0” before I…

  • UK wants power to demand encryption keys

    This article “UK wants power to demand encryption keys” reports that Great Britain is daft. What’s going on in the minds of legislators in GB.  Seems like the fancy with 1984 is running a muck in the queens parliament. I mean, where’s my privacy, when I want it?  Why would I want to turn over…

  • First baby in Britain designed cancer-free – Britain – Times Online

    First baby in Britain designed cancer-free – Britain – Times Online GATTACA anyone? We’re still a ways off from the gattaca scenario, however it doesn’t take much imagination as to the steps required to reach gattaca state. If I had the choice, and ability to prevent my progeny from being inheriting a negative trail, I’d…

  • Spring beauty

    I got really bored today. So I decided to finally do what I’ve been wanting to do for 5 years. The reason why I never did it in the last 5 years, is because I’ve forgotten, lent out my camera, camera was broken, or whatever. So, today, I I decided to photograph the cherry trees…

  • Norton Protection is a pain.

    If you’re stuck like I was when trying to clearing out/delete the nprotect folder. I would encounter the error: nprotect0004107. – The system cannot find the file specified. Where the number 00004107 is some sequential number. To erase all of it, I had to do this: del \?c:recyclernprotect*.* where c: is the drive you wish…

  • PEAR::DB_DataObject_FormBuilder howto

    Wow, I refactored my calendar web app and used PEAR::DB_DataObject_FormBuilder to make the backend. One thing I have to admit, the documentation for certain PEAR applications lacks dearly. Just like all OSS packages. It’s just the nature of things. The personal support I recieved from irc://efnet.org/pear was great. After a little guidance, the members in…
