Server Uptime

I HAVE RETURNED! too tired to fill you in on what’s happened in the past few days, but i promise i’ll make tomorrow’s entry spectacular!

server uptime

my server @ home – would’ve been closed to 90 days if my brother didn’t have to reboot it to test out the color printer. running on dual celeron 400@500mhz w/ 512 PC133 SDRAM.

Perfect Man and Perfect Woman

cable went down last nite. stupid storm! i was internet-less for 4 hrs!!! (maybe more cause i went to sleep before it came back on). i also gave my baby (code name: Krunk) 2 consecutive nites of rest. he sure loved it and is working like a fine killing machine!

did horrible on today’s midterm! sigh… yucky yuck yuck! don’t ask. let’s just stop @ this point.

thanks to RipFace for donating this link. pong is not just what it seems to be anymore. -_^x

well, this might be the last post for the next few days. finally going home and well you know, wont have my baby with me. sorry guys. come back on tuesday!

oh yeah, one new d00dle has been posted. enjoy ^_^x gotta start packing up now. ^_^x

Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect. One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help.

There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle.

Soon they were driving along delivering the toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident.

Question: Who was the survivor?

Answer: The perfect woman survived. She’s the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man.

Women stop reading here, that is the end of the joke. Men keep reading.

So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the woman must have been driving. This explains why there was a car accident.

By the way, if you’re a woman and you’re still reading, this illustrates another point:

Women never listen!!!

Witch Hunter Robin – Shell

once again, today was just all about school and work. trying to finish as much as i can before i return home for the 3-day weekend. ^_^x well, registration for next semester’s classes did start today for me. 2 down, 2 more to go. ^_^x

i’m so hooked on a new anime song! you guys should check it out. it’s the Opening Song for the anime series: Witch Hunter Robin. – download (YouTube / Stage6)

saw this site through a FW signature. found it to be somewhat funny. link: it looks like a regular math tutor help site where you email him questions and he answers for a fee. however, near the bottom, i noticed this:

Calculus III (Text ISBN 0534359493, odd number only) $4 for each question. At lease $40 each time. Contact me

What i find funny is that it says odd only meaning this person probably has the answers to the odds in a user manual and is charging a minimum fee of $40 which is usually above the cost of the solution manual.

welp, i’m not going to mention who told me this, but one of my friends said that his grandmother told his dad that if he ‘u know what’ too much, his ‘thingy’ will fall off. ;p (sorry if some of you found this inappropriate.)

Comprimising University Security Networks

nothing much happened today. was rather boring in fact. oh well.

thanks to panzer for the following links:

welp, for those that live i socal, the deal is back! $29 one way from OAK to LAX/BUR. buy your tickets early for winter break or else you know what! u snooze, u looze. ^_^x unlike before where the $29 was only for a roundtrip, you can now purchase it as One-Way. canceling one of my flights was easier than ever. called them up, gave them my confirmation # and BOOM, i was done. $75 credit applied to my new purchase of $37.50 ($29+tax+fees) = $37.50 left for next flight. wondering why i bought a flight and then canceled? well i original have a ticket for 12/19 – 1/10. but i decided to extend my return date to 1/18. so i called up SouthWest (bleh, forgot to mention this was @ SouthWest the whole time) and they told me if i wanted to cancel the 2nd flight, i’d have to fly the first flight and call back to cancel. i said, cool, but i still needed a return flight, so a i bought a new ticket for 1/18 – 1/30 (since the cheap fare required a roundtrip). well, after reading the newsletter i received today, i called in did my work. you may be scared your first time canceling your ticket, but after the first time and noticing how nice and ez it is, it’s something actually fun to do! well, not fun, but no longer afraid of. hehe. ^_^x

<@HKenshin|work> “Berkeley, CA. Uc berkeley english major was sued for comprimising university security networks for the distribution of illegal anime files. In a strange turn of events, UCB junior Steven Yoo is being sued by multiple companies and universites. Yoo appears to be the mastermind in a network of “irc” (internet relay chat) “bots” (automated software used by hackers to gain access and distribute files illegally)….”
<@MsticAzn> ouch
<@MsticAzn> where are his bots?
<@ise> dang hk already with the press release

Japander

lost my red notebook today. was so worried. it’s like my personal diary, which really is just paper for me to jot down notes, draw doodles, draw more doodles, and do hw. i was about to give up after checking 3 lost&found places where it could’ve been. then @ home, i found it sitting on the shelf! YIPPEE! have you ever lost something which you value more than yourself? you become really depressed. this notebook wasn’t that particular item, but i can recall i’ve lost invaluable items such as hippo & data on my hard drive. remind me to post up my hippo memorial wallpaper for u guys. ^_^x

speaking of wallpaper, i recently switched over to Mac OSX. check out my screenshots:
max osx thememac osx theme

if you have japan fetish like i do, you should check out Japander. you should check out some of Arnold Swazzeneger’s (or however you spell his last name) commercials for Japan. For some reason it just doesn’t look like him. ;p

Japander:n.,& v.t. 1. a western star who uses his or her fame to make large sums of money in a short time by advertising products in Japan that they would probably never use. ~er (see synecure, prostitute) 2. to make an ass of oneself in Japanese media.

if you’re in the bay area and want to attend a screening of “8 Mile” for FREE, then check this out: linky. it’s going be shown this thursday @ the Metreon. ^_^x

thanks to esca, we now have channel statistics for our #calnime IRC Chat Room. check them out here: linky.

Turn Windows XP Interface Into Mac OSX

welp today was fun! celebrated not only carii’s bday, but also CD’s bday. didn’t even know that till we went to dinner. hehe. ohfuee had some cool card tricks up his sleeves. pretty hard to describe and it’s much better in person anyway.

belldandy (aka karen – aka Steven IRL) posted this link up. it’s a pretty cool website. has some really nice wallpapers and if you’re a mac fan, it tells you how to completely turn your windows XP interface into a mac osx interface which i thought was pretty cool. but too bad i’m no mac fan. ;p

thanks to fuzzywuzzy for donating this hilarious news site: linky. if you have time, read these news. the news articles i’ve read so far have either been interesting or hilarious. ^_^x

First Home Cooked Meal

first of all, i’d like to throw out a big HAPPY BDAY to carii. this will make her.. uh.. i don’t think i’m allowed to give away a girl’s age. hehe. sorry guys, but she’s also taken. but i never said there was no competition. ^_^x

cunndogg really likes his new RC Car. welp, being somewhat of an Initial D fan, i asked if he can get it to drift 180° or even 360°. welp, we took some video clips of it so we hope you’ll enjoy it. the volume is a bit loud, so u might wanna lower it. we didn’t get it to do 360° but we may have succeeded in 180°. ^_^x

clip 1 | clip 2

welp, not wanting to let the lamb meat get bad + we’ve been marinating the remainder of the lamb from last nite for an entire day, we decided to give it another shot. this time i took pix of it:

green bell peppers in lamb juice and teriyaki saucefreshly cut carrotslamb meat kept warm in ovencarrots in lamb juice and teriyaki saucewe're done!adding the carrots to ricethen the green bell pepperand finally the lamb meat!

YUMMY! ^_^x

welp, we went to the bar again tonite. this time with laa, lydia, liam, and cunndogg. we sat down and waited for the waitress to come serve us. she came and took our order and then asked us if we had our id. we were like wo… (although i only ordered a virgin drink, i was surprised also since this was the first time we got carded). we searched our wallets and no one could find it (how convenient -_^x). so she said she was sorry and couldn’t serve us. so we got up and left surprised by this new rule. we decided that the boss was in today, so the waitress had to follow accordingly. oh well, next time. ^_^x we then went to liam’s house to watch “Metropolis” a anime supposedly release last year. i had it, but never watched it. (did that shock u?) i’m really picky about anime. if i don’t like any part of it, i wont watch it. an initial skim of Metropolis didn’t really catch my attention. welp, the animation was great, but the plot was really confusing and required too much thinking for me to enjoy anime. if you like that type of anime/stories, you should really check this out. cunndogg decided it was relating this society to the German Nazis. ^_^x

New Linux Computer

went to sleep @ 7, woke up @ 4. found out i had a bug in my project. fixed it in 15mins. then a friend requested help, and stayed for an extra 1.5hrs. welp, that’s what friends are for ^_^x

as cunndogg pointed out, i made a mistake on the specs of our new workstation. in fact it is only a XP1600+ and not a XP2000+. but plans to overclock this baby is progress and supposedly this is easily overclockable to 2100.

welp, cunndogg and i had our first cooking experience (besides boiling pasta, instant noodles, microwave/oven pizza) today and i’ve gotta say it turned out 100x better than what i expected. we were planning to goto Barney’s for a milkshake celebration, but they closed @ 10. andronicos was next door so we went in and picked up some items to make dinner with. we marinated some lamb (forgot which part of the lamb it was) with pineapple sake teriyaki sauce. We also added A1 Steak Sauce, and Tiger Sauce (similar to Tabasco) to spice up the taste. we stir-fried the lamb in olive oild and then added red/green bell peppers and carrots. put that on rice and we got ourselves a tasty meal. an oil shot into cunndogg’s eye during this experiment, but that was the only bad part. oooh, forgot to add 7-up w/ black berry torani. are u drooling yet? hehe ^_^x

after several days of attempts to install linux and near the verge of giving, we finally did it. stupid nvidia and their proprietary nforce drivers caused us install different distributions of linux. we’ve tried RedHat 7.3, SuSE 8.1, RedHat 8.0 and all has failed. Mandrake 9.0 and Slackware were sitting in my hd waiting in case RedHat 7.3 failed again. but thanks to the help on nvnews forums, we were finally able to get it up and running. now on to trying to get the network card to work!

Done With CS61B Project

how was everyone’s Halloween? got any new cavities? hehe. i’m happy to announce i’ve completed my cs61b project 17hrs before it’s due time! YES! once again, i’m a free man. EE midterm, here i come.

as promised, Picture of the Week has been updated. i hope you’ll enjoy this new piece. ^_^x

bleh, it’s 7:17am and i’m dead tired. i’m make it up by making tomorrows longer. ^_^x

First Linux Computer

BOO!

tonite’s halloween so u guys go enjoy yourselves! there’s nothing wrong with partying all nite long (unless you have a midterm next week which i do + that stupid project due on friday nite!!!) generally, ppl would post those scary websites where it gets your attention then suddenly a pale face of a dead girl pops up. but that is so overused now and personally i think it’s not really that funny. scary and shocking, but not funny. hehe.

our computer case finally came today! w00h00! it’s setup and running but still lacks an operating system. We’re trying to get RedHat 8.0 running on it right now (download in process – 5 cds). here’s the current specs of our system:

redhat computerredhat computer with led lights

guess what i got in my mail today!?! a cute little rubber ducky! ^_^x Did some survey and thought it’d never come. all it’s missing is a squeaker like that penguin in Toy Story! OOOOOH! that penguin was very cute too! ^_^x

rubber duckie on speaker

Tune in tomorrow for a new Picture of the Week! ^_^x
