Faulty RAM

cd-mcc and slapshot came by today and we help troubleshoot his computer system which has been dead for the past month? maybe more? apparently after several motherboard replacements (4 times?), we found out today that it was in fact the ram’s problem. stupid generic ram, swore to god i’d never trust them anymore, after i found out it was what caused my system to crash every other day, to reboot automatically. after he successfully installed win98se then upgraded to winxp, we watched The Lawnmower Man. weird movie i’ve gotta say. interesting, but the computer graphix and design i must say were extremely lacking. then again, this movie was probably made like 10 years ago? supposedly there’s several sequels to this movie. i don’t intend to watch them @ this point, but who knows what might come up. ^_^x

then i watched Harry Potter – Chamber of Secrets (once again in dvd quality). it’s a good fun movie. meant for kids and family. then again, if you’ve read the book, u might not enjoy this as much since you already know who opened the chamber of secrets and who Tom Riddle is… ^_^x

oh yeah, when cd-mcc came back, he made up another tycoon. after reading these 2 tycoons, i think you’ll have a general sense of what type of humor he likes. ^_^x

thanks to lsiymle for donating this kawaiiiiiiii link link. the baby is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! u can chk out more of their cool stuff on their homepage.

today was anime galore! new Hikaru no Go, Dragon Drive, Samurai Deeper Kyo and much much more! here’s some cute shots i captured from them:

Need to Poop?

today was an awesome day. think i slept till ~5pm. went to bed around 8am (just like today; current time is 7:49am). i’m starting to get a bit hungry tho. hmmmmm.

just finished watching minority report. it’s a pretty good movie. not really an in-depth movie with much thinking, but it was nice to see what our future society looked liked. if u saw this movie, those LCDs were DOPE! i wish i had one.

snakescott: hmmm, do you have an extra roll of TP I can buy?
Krunk4Ever: what’s TP?
Krunk4Ever: toilet paper?
snakescott: oh, and if you have change for a $20 I can give you your $5
snakescott: yeah
Krunk4Ever: uh
Krunk4Ever: i have 1 $1
Krunk4Ever: and 2 $100
snakescott: okay
Krunk4Ever: dont think i can help u ;p
snakescott: well
Krunk4Ever: uh
Krunk4Ever: but yeah
snakescott: if you want to change a $20 for a $100
snakescott: what about the TP?
Krunk4Ever: we have tons of TP
snakescott: okay I’ll come up for a minute
Krunk4Ever: okay
Krunk4Ever: hey…
snakescott: oh doh
snakescott: I should come up
snakescott: brt
Krunk4Ever: were u planning to still come up?
Krunk4Ever: lol
Krunk4Ever: okay
snakescott: thx
Krunk4Ever: np
snakescott: 😀
Krunk4Ever: i thought u needed to poop ;p
Krunk4Ever: i was wondering where u were ;p
snakescott: haha
snakescott: so like
snakescott: sometimes you know
snakescott: you feel like maybe you need to
Krunk4Ever: then it subsides
snakescott: and then it goes away
snakescott: 😛
snakescott: yeah
snakescott: but it’s good
Krunk4Ever: yah, i’ve had that feeling
snakescott: now, that I have TP
Krunk4Ever: just hold it in long enough
snakescott: just in case
snakescott: 😀
Krunk4Ever: and the feeling disappears
Krunk4Ever: then it comes back twice as strong the next time
Krunk4Ever: more energy to hold it in
Krunk4Ever: and then it subsides
Krunk4Ever: finally u get to the point where you dont have control anymore
Krunk4Ever: and u run to the toilet
snakescott: uhm
snakescott: okay enough about this

thanks to cd-mcc, their’s been a new category added to the this site: “Tycoon of the Day“. it first came as an idea when i was arguing i wasn’t a tycoon fan and him trying to convince me i should be one… (welp, too bad i’m firm on my beliefs on which games i like and i don’t like too many games; especially after jedi knight II gave me 3d motion sickness). well, he was bringing up a bunch of random tycoons (ie NFL Tycoon, Video Game Tycoon, etc) and the titles just got weirder and weirder until he finally told me he was making these up. he said that i should have a topic on my site so he can make up Tycoons. I originally wanted to call it “Tycoon of the Moment” (all of you should know how successful my Picture of the Week was, now known as Picture of the Moment), but he said he was able to handle one a day. we’ll see about that. ;p Anyway, I’m also adding a new category called: “Previous Polls” in case anyone wanted to see the results of the previous polls.

Speaking of polls, the current poll for the iPod vs. the MZ-N1 will be ending tonite. so if you haven’t voted and want to voice your opinion, this is your last chance! ^_^x the ending time will be sometime after midnite. new poll will be up tomorrow.

Final – Optional?

in the midst of today’s final, our GSI (TA in some universities; stands for graduate student instructor) took out one of those big 8-balls and said, “hmmmmmm, should i make this final optional?” of course we thought he was joking, so we continued our test. “The 8 ball says: All Signs Point to YES.” he goes on telling us that it was decided that the final was made optional and if it helps our grade, it’ll be included. else, they’ll discard it. One student asked what if the 8-ball said NO. our GSI said, he’d have shaken it again. in fact the class before already knew about this but was told not to tell us so we would study. dunno if this was a good thing or not. i spent 10 hrs studying… yucky and to find out this final was optional. i could’ve used that time to study for tomorrow’s final.

the answers to yesterday’s riddle:

Riddle 1: the entire riddle was meant to mislead you. the way you should think about this is that the 3 men paid a total of $30 and got $3 back ($1 for each person) yielding a net cost of $27. what the $2 the bellboy kept was the $2 extra that they paid. $27 – $2 = $25 (amount they should’ve paid).

Riddle 2: There is in fact 6 “F”s:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
supposedly the F’s in the word OF is very hard for the human brain to acknowledge. i think it was because it doesn’t make the fa- sound. but who knows ;p

telebears has just been a nitemare lately. haven’t been able to access it online for 2 days already. and my telebears started monday. (for those that don’t know telebears, it’s berkeley’s class registration system). anyway, i finally gave up telebears online and went for the fone. got in on my first try and although it took me 30mins to figure out how to use the fone system, i got the remainder of the classes i want registered. here’s a temporary look of my next semester schedule.

welp, a close friend of mine (not sure if he wants me to say his name) made a donation (located on the left if you feel like giving in this jolly season ^_^x). however, those greedy bastards took everything! grrrrr. welp it was no use keeping $0.00 so i refunded the money. hehe.

paypal - 2 cents

welp, i’m heading for bed early today. g’nite ^_^zzz

DJ Tiesto – Sparkles

today was a weird day. went to sleep actually early! ~3:30am-ish. was hoping to wake up for my 9:30am class, but ended up 30mins late. hehe. came home and slept some more. then i went to do my ee20 lab. today’s lab was cool in the fact this was the LAST lab (yippee) + i understood everything immediately! (usually, i get stuck somewhere along the way and ask for help).

thanks to cunndogg for donating this mp3. awesome trance song and if you want to see it perform live, check out this video (YouTube). if video linky doesn’t work, try downloading it from here Cunndogg says there’s a lotta hot chix in there so something u might wanna consider before downloading/not downloading. ^_^x

thanks to Maetel for donating this cool flash movie: linky. a must see for final fantasy fans, but as alphabons says: “Enix is regarded as the best RPG makers in the world and also squares main competition” hehe ^_^x

thanks to crabyaple for donating these pictures: (click to enlarge)

sources are unknown, but seems like a cool project ^_^x

today, i got this weird email which i thought was really kewl. it was spam alright, but to thought of having a screenshot as part of the email was a very clever idea. too bad my site doesn’t really need to be search engined. would think about it if i made money off it.

email includes website screenshot

thanks to my special friend who i believe would rather remain anonymous for pointing out that football is known to be soccer everywhere on earth besides USA. by saying ‘catch football‘, i clearly distinguished that this was not soccer, but instead American Football. ^_^x

Postcard Freebies

guess what today is!?!?!
HAPPY BDAY BRANDO!!!

damion droped by today outta the blue. well, not totally outta the blue, but i wasn’t expecting, well, more like i forgot i should be expecting him. hehe. ben called a bit later and he drove us to safeway for grocery shopping. damion actually requested my help on building his new computer last week, but it just sorta slipped my mind or maybe i was expecting him to IM me. hehe. anyway, his computer is up and running now. stupid WD hds gave us some trouble. who puts MASTER & SINGLE DRIVE on 2 separate jumper settings. stupid Western Digital. =( took like 15mins to figure out the stupid problem. then we went to Mel’s for dinner. good milkshakes they have there, but barney’s oreo milkshake is still the best imho.

well, want freebies? like my george foreman grill? welp, as long as you’re a california resident, you’re capable of receiving the following items for FREE:

  • Austin Powers – Goldmember DVD
  • $100 Gas Vouchers
  • $50 US Saving Bonds
  • Digital Pen Camera
  • George Foreman Grill
  • Cuisinart Mini Food Chopper
  • JWin Personal CD Player
  • Web Camera
  • Touchscreen Digital Organizer
  • Electronic Organizer
  • Credit Report

All you have to do is mail out a postcard which i found out you can obtain for FREE! Liam said that the postcards were free @ Tower Records, but @ Mel’s we found a whole bunch of free postcards there too! carii says IKEA has them too! wow! had no idea free postcards were everywhere, i was even about to pay $.20 for each if i couldn’t find any. index cards worked for awhile, but several got shot back because apparently the size of a postcard must exceed 5.5″. anyway, for more detailed instructions on what to do, check out these 2 threads on FatWallet: thread1 & thread2

oh yeah, for those that don’t know, my guestbook creates a new page every time it hits 20 posts. no, your post did not disappear (unless you’re the guy that clicked submit like 60x) and you can chk the previous posts by clicking the selection menu on the upper right hand corner of the guest book page.

quote of the moment (from Fantasy):

i regret… that life isn’t like an RPG where u kick ur reset and load from save to solve all your mess ups

so true, yet life would be so perfect it’d be boring.

It Is Better to Die on Your Feet Than to Live on Your Knees

sorry about last nite. went to sleep @ 9pm because didn’t have much sleep time the nite before. according to cunndogg, my cell phone was going crazy last nite. found out today dad was calling because of a health emergency type of thingy. oh well 9pm to 12pm. wow! 15hrs of sleep. nice huh? hehe.

had my midterm on thursday. went quite well, until i went over answers with liam. sigh… thought i did good too! but stuff just often turns out to be the least expected. hope i still can manage a B on the MT. i’ll let you guys know.

btw, cunndogg has suggested that i return to opening windows when you click the links. therefore i’ve started a poll to see your responses. it’s nice to be able to run cgi-scripts. ^_^x first guestbook and now this. NO MORE ADS! w00h00! ^_^x

thanks to ryawn for donating this link. this was on LIVE television and sometimes a word just slips outta your mouth. ;p

thanks to ZUZ for donating this link. if you like this type of humor. go check out Liquid Generation.

i’ve jotted down some good quotes during my irc chats. hope you like them:

in the real world, those with the least talent often bark the loudest.

it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

My dad would’ve altered the former to:

in the real world, those who are guilty often bark the loudest

stupid server went down again. 2nd time this week. grrrrrr. well, by the time you read this, that just means it’s already back up. today was sorta ez going day. only 1 class and i came home to sleep afterwards. not much else happened besides… the Giants murdering the Angels today with a 16-4 score. 1 more game and Giant’s are world series champions! so cross your fingers! ^_^x

finally got my chance to take the stupid picture. well, picture of the week has finally been updated. i think after i finish my project for cs61b this weekend, i’ll fix up that page with all the previous ‘picture of the week’.

Happy Birthday SueOn

first of all, i’d like to wish HAPPY BIRTHDAY to SUEON!!!

this marks his 19th bday (he’s a guy so i won’t worry about him killing for telling everyone his age. hehe). anyway, couple of my friends have turn or soon will turn 20. this marks the end of our teenage-hood (if there’s such a word). sigh… those years were so beautiful and if i had a choice, i’d relive them again and make the best outta it. carii suggested that we’re closer to age of drinking. that’s true but who in the right mind wants to put that nasty bitter liquid into your mouth (was tempted to crap, but crap is usually solid, but then again, lol!) well, we know why carii want’s to grow up faster, although she claims that isn’t true, but i mean to say that w/o thinking… now comon! j/k ;p

welp, my web hosting company claims something went wrong with their ASP server causing my site to be down for 8hrs yesterday. was down from 7pm to 4am and made me reach an all-time low in October of 38 visitors. well, that’s not exactly the truth, i’ve hit 32 in early october, but nothing below 38 since then. but today it rebounded to a nice 71. sounds like i’m some stock reporter or something. hehe ^_^x

new Prince of Tennis and Dragon Drive is out! what really sucks is that one pot wasn’t able to satisfy me again, and the stupid (well, i shouldn’t call them stupid since they are giving me free pot) only gave me enough for one!!! I’m dying here for more!!! I once again got to meet the cute chibi. Here’s some more snapshots of him. ^_^

dragon drive - cute dragondragon drive - biting

welp, crabyaple’s site has been completely revamped and looks amazingly cooler! way to go! linky here! that reminds me. i need to get a new picture of the week! hopefully by today or tomorrow. i’m also pondering the idea of hosting my previous POTW up, but that’ll haveta take some thinking.

finally got my cs midterm back today.

Question 1: 9/10
Question 2: 10/10
Question 3: 9/10
Question 4: 0/0 (extra credit – check doodles)
Question 5: .5/10
Grrrr, i bombed the last question big time! =(

speaking of doodles, 3 new doodles up straight off the midterm. hehe ^_^x

Cancelling AOL

site seems to be down since 7pm last nite. dunno what’s up, but hope they fix it soon enough. well, when u see this message, that means they’re probably up already. hehe.

harrybons just realized his house now has mice! on contrary, this mouse is extremely cute. i think it’s a pet or something, but he’s found 3 of them already. he let them go off in the streets but i think they’d just come back since they did find a way in in the first place. hehe

today’s game was disappointing. It was SO CLOSE! but the angels have won this game. the score was 11-10 and both giants and angels have made astonishing comebacks. oh well, next game is on tuesday in SF. GO GIANTS!!!

while i was on the phone with AOL several days ago. (wondering why? well go check out why here) anyway, the customer service representative (from now on will be referred to as CSR) called me ma’am. i mean, it’s cool. my name toland is really unisex + i guess my voice isn’t that deep. anyway, i don’t really mind being called ma’am since i want the call to get over as soon as possible and getting into an argument that i’m a guy will just extend the time i have to speak with the CSR. this isn’t the first time. over 80% of my calls to stores, service, or calls from stupid telemarketers has always acknowledged me as a miss/ma’am. then today, i realized that there is a benefit of being acknowledge as a female! i mean they’re usually nicer to females, more likely to do what you asked them to, and DEFINITELY LESS RUDE. hehe.
