...I probably won’t replace this laptop until after I graduate. 2007.. or 2008.. 2009… I dunno. By then they’ll have dual cores with 64 bit, running Windows Vista SP1 or Mac OS X 10.5 with PCI Express, 256 MB video card and 1 GB of RAM. Ahh.. that would be nice.

It's Still Spring

It's Spring

2010-04-07T16:15:00.002-04:00

Only when I started going to college that I had allergies to pollen. I feel tired. My nose constantly runs. My throat is a bit scratchy. I feel like I have the cold sans the headache and fever.

copying files to a microSD card

2008-10-17T20:30:00.004-04:00

You copy a bunch of files to the microSD card and you get an error message saying, "The directory or file cannot be created."

I assume you copied only 116 files at this point. I also assume you copied it directly onto the root directory of the microSD.

The solution to this is simple.

Create a folder in the microSD, copy the files into that folder.

Done.

Yeah, Right, Whatever.

iPod Center Button Woes

2008-10-14T02:48:00.002-04:00

The rubber underneath the center button shifted again and I had to open and realign it again. I decided to put a bit of glue on it. A few clicks later it happened again. So I decided to put more glue.

Stuck iPod Center Button

2008-10-04T16:24:00.005-04:00

I noticed the iPod's center button was stuck. It was "sunk" into the clickwheel. It didn't make a click but the button worked if I pushed down hard. That was unacceptable and my thumbs were hurting. I was a concerned as the 5.5G iPod Video was woefully out of warranty and do not want to shell out ~$20-75 for a repair. The screen, battery, hard drive, clickwheel were perfectly fine. Just that damn single center button.

It all had to do with a misaligned piece of rubber. Now I have an excuse to pry open the iPod.

1. Open the iPod and expose underneath the clickwheel
2. Move the little rubber piece to the center of the metal contact
3. Put everything back to normal and close iPod

The center button works fine now. The process took less than 10 minutes.

Well, I guess don't have to choose between a 120 GB 6G iPod Classic, 16 GB 4G iPod Nano, or 16 GB 2G iPod Touch just yet. Until the LCD or hard disk fails...

Keep on, Maple.

The normally loose mousewheel gets stiff.

Time to clean up, Maple.

Bear with me again.

Slushie is a relatively new polar bear. Normally he would spend time with the other three bears but they've been gone for months. Slushie is bored. Klondike is lazily lying on the bed. Little Klondike and Black Bear are playing video games. Maple for some reason is drinking tea with Sugar Maple. So what is Slushie to do?

Firefox 30 Day Challenge

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 1, 2005, 10:46 AM

For the 30 days of April, I am going to exclusively use Firefox. FF for everything. No trips to Windows Update for IE either. XP should be fine w/o 1 month's worth of updates. IE's proxy is set to 0.0.0.0 so I couldn't even browse from IE accidentally.

The exception to rule is certain computer labs as I have no choice but to use IE like the one I'm typing at right now, but some places I can load up my "Portable" Firefox on my USB stick. The other exception is when helping others when they are using IE.

I've been in 'hybrid mode' using both browsers in the last week of March. All of this is experimental... see how well this will turn up.

Firefox Add-ons as of January 2008

2008-01-01T10:15:00.000-05:00

Adblock Plus
Self explanatory. The plus version you subscribe to a block list so you don't have to manually update the list. You can block specific images without blocking the other images of the same website if you wish. #1 add-on for Firefox.

Download Statusbar
Nonintrusive and minimal (in mini mode) compared to the default download manager

Extended Statusbar
Miscellaneous information on the status bar such as # of images loaded, time it took for the page to load, size of page

Fast Video Download
Rip YouTube videos and other embedded files

Fasterfox
self explanatory. Some sites won't load properly so you have load it again so you have to tweak the settings if it bothers you

Favicon Picker 2
Replace / create custom favicons in bookmarks/toolbar. For example, bugmenot has an animating favicon and it's annoying to stare at in my bookmarks toolbar. So I replaced it with a static version of the icon.

Flashblock
Cuts out annoying flash, I decide whether to load the particular flash content or not. Add homestarrunner.com in the whitelist.

Image Zoom
Zoom & resize any image on the page. Nice, but I haven't a practical use for it yet.

Image-Show-Hide
Useful if you're on a dial-up or tethered cell-phone connection and just want to see the page without loading the images. Save bandwidth.

Menu Editor
Cleans up the menu bar including context menus, I used it to remove "History" and remove unnecessary menu items. You can rearrange the menu, add separators.

MIME Edit
Tells the browser what to do when encountered with a certain file type

NoScript
Blocks javascript on untrusted sites. It takes a bit of work as some sites need javascript to work (any input box in Forums, flash-based sites...) so there's the "temporary allow site..." and "add to trusted sites" options in the status bar.

Organize Status Bar
Rearrange the status bar the way you like. You can even hide items if you wish. Very useful add-on.

Paste and Go 2
Copy url, paste & go.

Stop-or-Reload Button
Combines two icons into one. It just looks nice. Though if I wanted to reload, I press F5, and if I wanted to stop, I press ESC.

Stylish
Change the look & style of a website. I made YouTube minimalistic.
To get a slim extension list for Firefox 2: go here

Tab Mix Plus
Expands functionality of tabs. Plenty of options to choose from.

Titlebar Tweaks
I use it to remove "- Mozilla Firefox" on the titlebar.

Work Offline
Works exactly like in Internet Explorer. Isn't perfect as not all sites can be viewed offline even with my cache limit set to 500 MB.

---
It's your browser. Configure it the way you want it. Internet Explorer an okay browser, but it doesn't do everything listed above.

It's that day again.

What I Really Really Really Really want in Excel 2007

2007-11-28T17:52:00.000-05:00

Floating palettes! You know how painful it is to change font and cell colors on the fly with Excel 2007? Click on cell. Move mouse up and click cell/font color drop down and then choose color. Sure you can right click, wait for the menu above the cursor to hover, but that's not fast enough. I'm used to choosing colors with one click and don't need any drop down menu to slow me down. Office 2007 is great, but I need floating color palettes!

Cypress AT2LP RC42 problem?

2007-02-26T01:28:00.000-05:00

http://daltrey.org/linux/cypress.html

I had a Venus DS3 enclosure giving me problems. The drive itself was fine. Oddly the other identical enclosure wasn't affected

1. Turn on enclosure (note: hard drive doesn't have to be in it)
2. Install the downloaded CyUSB driver. (note: I had to force Windows to install it manually)
3. Run primer.exe
4. Turn off enclosure
5. Turn on enclosure which programmed the ROM
6. Put back the hard drive, works as if I wasn't running during a thunderstorm.

didn't have to restart the computer
works for me, may not for you

so I didn't need to spend $40 for a new enclosure.

Old Vauge Reference ... started July 2003

2006-12-02T05:17:00.000-05:00

Being the nomadic person that I was, I made a proposition to myself. Either I find a place to settle into or end my very existince. There was a town nearby which a center to towns to go to. So I found a usable town to go to. An awkward experience at first, being that everyone else knew each other I did not. As I was settling in, I noticed an area of the town, a recreational part. An awkward place it was, sight of chaos everywhere. One of the activites was to take a hammer and whack an anvil. He or she couldn't whack it again until someone else did. Kind of pointless. So I used the anvil and gave it one whack. So I left and explored other parts of the town. Another part of town, I observed a place where a question would be answered by anybody. One question that caught my attention was a land based beast versus an aquatic one. I hesited to answer and finally gave my input.
So then I wonder if there is something else. So, when I was really settled in, I left. No warning given. An so it was for two weeks of not ever seeing that place. Thoughts lingered in returning, there ware no intentin of permanently leaving; just the thought of when to come back, or what to say was the concern. I then returned though only a one day stay. Disapointing was that there wasn't that much of a change as I would expect. Now I await to see what is there to expect a week later.

so now let us define that the powers of the Earth are the worst thing to ever do to this world. It is not that what I am thinking of bears any relavence to what it out there in the whole world wide universe, but there is something out there that is meant to be seen in this whole for the entire human race. Now such that anything would do, especially that anything there is to is possible. And so I end this brief essay for doing just that where everything is reserved and now there are losers and there are winner. I just happen to be a winner. The end.

MATH307 Ordinary Differential Equations | 060828

2006-11-03T09:00:00.000-05:00

Differential Equation (DE) | any equation involving the derivatives of dependent variables with respect to one or more independent variables

If there is only one independent variable then we have an ordinary differential equation (ODE). Otherwise a partial differential equation (PDE).

Order of a DE | the order of the highest derivative it contains

A DE is said to be linear if the dependent variable and its derivatives occur only linearly (to the first power), otherwise it is non-linear.

(y^i)^2+2sin(xy)=0 1^st order ODE nonlinear

3y^iii+2y^i+y=e^x 3^rd order ODE linear

3y^iii+2y^i+y=e^y 3^rd order ODE nonlinear

d2u/dx2+2d2u/dxdy+du/dx=x^2+y^2 2^nd order PDE linear

The most general n^th order ODE takes the form

G[x,y,y^i, y^ii, … , y^(n)] = 0 (1)

or in principle we can write as

g^(n)=F(x,y,y^i,…,y^(n)) (2)

Any function y=f(x) that satisfies (1) [or (2)] identically in some interval I is called an explicit function of (1) [or (2)] in I.

An equation g(x,y)=0 that can be solved to give one or more explicit solutions is called an implicit solution.

Show that y=e^2x + 2e^x is an explicit solution of y^ii-3y^i+2y=0

y=e^2x + 2e^x, y^i = 2e^2x+2e^x, y^ii = 4e^2x+2e^x

y^ii-3y^i+2y=4e^2x+2e^x-3

= 0e^2x+0e^x=0 OK

Under Your Spell - Sin City Suspects feat. Lara McAllen

2006-09-25T21:02:00.000-04:00

Looking back when it all began
Just wanted you, wanted you
It's not the same I don't understand
What I can do, I can do
Did I think you could change
that you playing a game
I guess I've been a fool to you
Did I want to believe you could be there for me
Honesty is not the kind of thing that you do

You got me under your spell
And I'm starting to tell
Can't deny the way I feel

You got me under your spell
And I'm starting to tell
It's a mixed up game you tell

You got me under your spell
And I'm starting to tell
Can't deny the way I feel

You got me under your spell
And I'm starting to tell
It's a mixed up game you tell

The games we play now I'm not so sure
What I can do, I can do
Just walk away should I close the door
Can stop this now if I wanted to
Did I think you could change
that you playing a game
I guess I've been a fool to you
Did I want to believe you could be there for me
Honesty is not the kind of thing that you do

You got me under your spell
And I'm starting to tell
Can't deny the way I feel

You got me under your spell
And I'm starting to tell
It's a mixed up game you tell

You got me under your spell
And I'm starting to tell
Can't deny the way I feel

You got me under your spell
And I'm starting to tell
It's a mixed up game you tell

DS Lite Ramblings

2006-07-04T03:03:00.000-04:00

I got my DS lite early June and was fine with it. I didn't like the original DS to begin with and wasn't interested with the launch games. The style is what drew me on the Lite. That and New Super Mario Bros. I oblivous to the better brightness, etc. compared to the original. The first two days of having the DS lite was moot. I got a Lite and no DS games to play with. I had Final Fantasy 4 filling slot 2 for the meantime. From going to a 1st gen GBA-SP to DS Lite... my eyes. The screen was BRIGHT and CRISP. Then I got NSMB. Great game. Took exactly 1 week to beat the game, another week go reach 100%. After that I got Brain Age. Great DS game. I am now proficient with basic math problems. Helpful for my math major. Time lapse game is aggravating.

Then the DS lite hardware acted funny. After 40 hours of NSMB, the Y+B buttons messed with the power of the DS Lite. Press Y+B and instant off. This never happened with the GBA-SP with A+B on Super Mario Advance 4. Then I called Nintendo and put the 12 month warranty into use on my not so 1 month old DS Lite. Since I was practically done with NSMB before the problem occured and since Brain Age is the only other DS game that only uses the stylus as input, the Y+B problem isn't problematic. I use Y+B now to shut off the DS quicker rather than flicking the side power flicker.

Hum.

Breathe - One More Angel

I've never felt this way
About anyone before
My heart is racing
I need you more and more

Need your smile
Need your face
Need your touch on my skin
I don't want this to end
I believe we can be
Something more than a dream
Forever you and me

Breathe
Let me sink inside your soul
Trust me
We'll be here for you

Breathe
Let me sink inside your soul
Trust me
We'll be here for you

Breathe
Oh come on and breathe

Let me sink inside your soul

When we're together
Magic never ends
You mesmerize my mind
Time and time again
It's the way
That you move
That puts me in the mood
I want to be by your side
See your smile
Hear your voice
Feel your touch on my skin
I don't want this to end

Breathe
Let me sink inside your soul
Trust me
We'll be here for you

Narcotic Thrust - Waiting For You

2006-04-19T13:25:00.000-04:00

Do you ever cry like something's gone
Do you ever walk these streets alone
Do you ever ache like I do
I need to feel the music of your soul
Are you out there real love?

I only want to find you
And be surrounded
By you
Wait for your light to
Shine through
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you

Did you ever wish for somebody
Somebody to break the mystery
Did you ever hope in the darkness
I need to feel the music of your soul
Are you out there real love?

I only want to find you
And be surrounded
By you
Wait for your light to
Shine through
I'm waiting for you

I only want to find you
And be surrounded
By you
Wait for your light to
Shine through
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
