Nintendo’s Kool Ad and Couch
PSP > Nintendo DS, so Nintendo has to make something up to attract players.
Haha I took this off a page linked from SimpleBits. It’s a couch made of the 90’s mouse pads. And they are all the same size, colour =O. There are at least 10 thousand in there.
B2 - Now a Vehicle for Advertisement
If you don’t know B2, it was the original project of WordPress. In 2002, the developers of B2, a very popular blogging system back then (even though blogging wasn’t the hit yet), handed the project over to some other guys, who then named it WordPress.
I went to check out B2 to see if there are any updates. No there aren’t. The latest entry was made over a year ago, announcing WordPress 1.02 or something. Amazingly, it has about 80 comments.
This shouldn’t be surprising though, but you should see the page for yourself.
Scroll to the middle of the page, and you’ll start seeing loads of links to other sites, with obscene link words. It’s disgusting how everyone (with those kind of sites) spam a helpless little site just for some traffic.
“b2 - a classy weblog tool” should now be “b2 - a classy linkblog to your daily secrets”.
The Depressed and the Depressing
I’m on the second last day of my spring break of 10 days. It seems as if I have done absolutely nothing. I was so eager to get out of school a few days before the break, and now I can’t possibly imagine what I’d give to get back to it.
I sit here and doodle, until the thought of food comes to mind. Then I go and grab a bite, and reluctantly come back to my drawing of absolutely nothing. I’m thinking of making a XMLsocket server for Flash with php, much like Moock’s Unit Server, which was made with Java. I already made an online multi-user chat application, that my hosting service provider will sooner or later find out and kill me with a Canadian submarine, which probably won’t do much.
The show “Just for laughs” on Comedy Central is funny. It doesn’t crack me up though. Nothing does anymore. But I still like how each comedian makes fun of Canada and the US. “A Canadian is an unarmed American with healthcare.”
There was another earthquake by Indonesia, or wherever. 8.7 on the richter scale. More deaths? Let’s see how many CNN wants.
I’ll get that socket server up to public. A basic chat is already done, but probably needs reworking, or rather deleting and starting-over. And today I realized how awesome the Mx2004pro components are. I’ve always usually used Flash5, but the well-roundedness and skinning of the UI components amaze me. The chat is currently composed of purely those components. I didn’t draw a single thing.
Transparent Laptop Screen
The Matrix Has Me
Woot I finally got all 3 movies of the Matrix Trilogy.
I should watch them over and over again, until another scratch appears on one of the disks.
The Animatrix seems really nice, but the version the TV is broadcasting seems like crap. There is no plot whatsoever. Endless flashes and giant moving squid things that don’t even look like sentinels are 90% of each episode. There is very little talking, and most of it isn’t lip-synched (translation problems?).
Matrix Online is almost out, or probably is already. $50 dollars one-time fee, and then $15/month subscription. I seriously considered getting it, but noooo they have to make it really expensive so really rich retards will pay it and the others won’t. I’m actually only interested in the plot that goes on after Neo dies and Zion gets saved. What else is there? The machines are truced with the humans. More agents and stuff? I don’t see much development from there.
One of the Wachowski’s brothers is a nerd and the other is fat. That combination makes a great movie I guess.
Zeno’s Paradox - the Answer
I doubt that I will do a good job of explaining a calculus question in a textarea box, http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/paradox-zeno/#3.2.
Really interesting read, if limits and derivatives are within your knowledge.
MTsix WordPress Theme
Due to popular request, I’ve decided to make the current design of mtsix as a working and public WP 1.5 theme. It will have a few modifications, but will keep the current style and most graphics.
After working and intaking 3 cans of Sprite hoping that I’m still fertile, I took a screenshot of what I’ve currently completed:
This demo blog is there to be updated about this theme. The theme on there is the current default one, which looks rather nice. I’ll import mine when it’s coded.
If Google doesn’t piss me off again (long story short, its new toolbar adds ad links to random text), I might make it available as a Blogger theme that can be imported and editted. Livejournal.. blah.
Update - I’ve now finished it! Click the download link to try it out! =)
Oh My God.
I was just reading a calculus book and came across one of Zeno’s Paradoxes. It’s so friggin sweet - I can prove to you now that a fast (human) runner will never outrun a slow turtle.
Setup
- Man (general reference to the theoretically faster runner) starts at point 0.
- Turtle (general reference to any kind of slowpoke) starts at point 1.
- Both the man and the turtle start running.
The Race
- As the man takes a certain amount of time to get to point 1, where the turtle originally started, the turtle would have gone forward to another point (let’s say point A). Correct?
- As the man takes another period of time to get to point A, where the turtle was a moment ago, the turtle would have moved on (let’s say point B). Correct?
- Now, as the man takes more time to run to point B where the turtle was just a moment ago, the turtle would have moved on more. Correct?
- As this list continues, the man will never catch the turtle. Correct?
Isn’t that awesome? =D Even though the speed of the runner is greater than that of the turtle, the runner will not surpass the turtle.
I’ll tell ya the secrets tomorrow =;).
Winnie
Is Winnie a real name? It’s the name of that kiddie bear I know, but do people actually have “Winnie” as a name?
Today at the restaurant (even with my sore toe after a minor surgery), I saw that on the check, the waiter’s name is Winnie. She is a girl. I assume Winnie is a girl’s name? But Winnie the bear is a male bear, I think.
It’s either that
- The waiter is actually a guy.
- Winnie the bear is actually a girl.
- One of them is confused over the gender of the name “Winnie”.
- Or I’m being hyper-critical.
But still, the intended gender of a name defines your gender doesn’t it? At first upon hearing the name, I’d think of a guy named Stacey differently than Bob. Or maybe that’s how names like Jackie become available for both genders.
And that’s what you get from watching the Matrix Trilogy for the 20th time.
No Taking Screenshots of DVD’s
I was watching Matrix Reloaded (yet again) on my computer this time. I tried to take a screenshot of Smith sticking his hand into Neo, but the screen of the movie turned out to be a black square. I tried focusing other programs so that no keyboard scripts are called when the Print Screen button is pressed, but nooo, they have to make it absolutely perfect.
I’m using WinDVD, and just cannot get any screenshot of the playing movie (even when paused). I will find a way around this. Why would any company make this secret? It’s not like I’m stealing pictures from DVD movies and selling them to the blackmarket for beer money. Nuh-uh.
