It's back to the "Season" again! Currently setting up a website for my guild ^^ KRP!
Wordpress looks pretty good.. thinking of moving this blog over to Wordpress.. But it means I (somehow) need to port the data over and such .. But the wordpress themes look so yummy.. /tempted.

Chinese software... pui!
So, I've been looking at QQ these few days, for the uninitiated, QQ is a China made IM which apparently is taking China by storm.
Looking at the application... you can really see the differences in design methodology by the East and West. Western design ie Apple, go for the minimalistic approach. Things are described in as few words as possible. More emphasis is on presentation rather than features.
Eastern design is completely opposite. It's features features and more features. Just a visit into QQ's website, or any other Chinese websites and you'll know. It's text upon text upon text upon text. Just a look at it and you'll go @_@, unless you're China Chinese I guess.
The application itself borders on spyware. Upon installation, I suddenly had many 'extra' programs like news, firewall, doctor something or other .. Weird things were popping on my system tray. Alerts I didn't need.
Clicking on the system tray icon yields a pseudo Windows start menu (they designed as thus) with even more menu entries than your Windows start menu.. Clicking on those yield MORE menus..
Urgh.
You can't even do offline messaging (it seems). Every other feature seems to be a paid service. I tried to use one of my own pictures as an avatar and it told me, Sorry! You must be a QQ user (ie paying, non leech) to have your own avatars. wth? In the meantime I'm stuck with funky heads as my avatar.
And the QQ number thing is SOOOO ICQ era. Guess China Chinese can remember numbers better than us... They are pretty smart too, letting you buy special QQ numbers, like birthdays and such. Enterprising.
Convoluted and ugly. The only saving grace is possibly the penguin mascot.

Oops I did it again..
..
Yes in a span of 2 days, I've snapped .. 2 .. erm .. straps. I just reach over .. lean over, bend over... and hear this sickening piak sound, and -_-... bah.
So many things to think about these days
The Product™
The Product's™ Table
$$
and some other stuff
/zzz
Well checked my std account, had more $ than I thought there was, which is good.. although it's still too little =\
Need to save/earn more!!

And so..
So today, I (finally) audit (so to speak), the server logs. The Boss™ charged me to pull out pictures from The Product™ so after doing it, I was just looking through the server logs.
And discovered an oddity.
The timestamps were wrong. -_-;
I was going zomfg?! And did a quick check. As expected, it was logging everything under CST. /sigh.
So I call over CK, erm oei, you know your program logging the date and time wrongly or not?
Then he said he just follow server time. Which is a fair assumption, after all, if a program can't depend on OS time, then how? But hah! He didn't check! Even though I set the server time to SGT already, for some reason Java does not inherit it (not all the time) and will run at CST, which was the server's original configuration.
So, since astartes, the logs have been going under CST time .. urgh. Grr, did you not try and see? Urgh.
So well, if who's going to fix it in the end? .. most likely me. Cos I can apparently write scripts /eye roll
.....
Also I found out that his migration was incomplete -_- Logged images weren't completely copied over from the old directories to the new ones.
Looks like I'll have to do that too -_-
/sigh

What is a programmer?
programmer, n:
A red eyed, mumbling mammal capable of conversing with
inanimate monsters.
Thursday, July 12, 2007
....
Grr..
Told bvo about it before, about this dude, we'll call him CK, who has been rather .. irritating. -_- There was once, where I was doing work, and up he rolls, and asks me some question.
I go.. .. erm .. Well, definitely there's a way to solve this problem, but I'm not sure how .. er .. *click on FF* *google abit* errm...
He sits there for abit, and then rolls back to his place without saying anything. Leaving me to go wtf?
He also has this bad habit of coming up to my place and just stand there and stare at my screen. Leaving me to go .. erm .. yes? Wth are you doing staring at my screen? I don't stare at yours, don't stare at mine. Got pretty thing there izzit? Usually I just endeavour to ignore him.
So today, I'm reading stuff and thinking about stuff, and he suddenly IMs me. Where is XYZ (where XYZ is an object (programming stuff lah))? I'm :@ immediately. I mean... the source code is THERE. The API is THERE. Not that obvious, but it's THERE. And you have CTRL+F or even better, import the whole thing into an IDE and it'll probably hot link the definition to the declaration. Or just install grep, windows version and look for it yourself. WTH are you doing asking me a question wherein you can easily find the answer yourself!?
I hate answering questions like that.
But .. well I just answer it, and I get silence back. Not even a word of thanks.
Are CKs all like that? So annoying. Want very much to just /ignore the person, but not possible lah.
GRRR.
Edit: Yes.. I know, information sharing and stuff. But this is not even a hard question. You're a programmer. I'm sure you have tools, or at least know how to LOOK. It's not difficult. Even windows search can search for words in text files. So stupid. Grr. Next time maybe I should just reply with www.google.com, or best, "Dunno".

The Penguin
The Penguin
by Rob Flynn
and
Jeramey Crawford
Once upon a term'nal dreary, while I hack'ed, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten code--
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a beeping,
As of some one gently feeping, feeping using damn talk mode.
"'Tis some hacker," I muttered, "beeping using damn talk mode--
Only this. I hate talk mode."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak semester,
And college life wrought its terror as the school year became a bore.
Eagerly I wished for privledges;--higher access I sought to borrow
For my term'nal, unceasing sorrow--sorrow for a file called core--
For the rare and radiant files of .c the coders call the core--
Access Denied. Chown me more.
"Open Source," did all mutter, when, with very little flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Penguin of the saintly days of yore.
Quite a bit obese was he; having eaten lots of fish had he,
But, by deign of Finnish programmer, he sat in the middle of my floor--
Looking upon my dusty term'nal in the middle of my floor--
Came, and sat, and nothing more.
Then the tubby bird beguiling my sad code into shining,
By the free and open decorum of the message that it bore,
"Though thy term'nal be dusty and slow," he said, "Linux be not craven!"
And thus I installed a new OS far from the proprietary shore--
The kernel code open but documentation lacking on this shore.
Quoth the Penguin, "pipe grep more!"
Much I marvelled this rotund fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning--little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help believing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird in the middle of his floor--
Bird or beast sitting in the middle of his cluttered floor,
With such instructions as "pipe grep more."
But the Penguin, sitting lonely in that cluttered floor, spoke only
Those words, as if its soul in that instruction he did outpour.
Nothing more did he need utter; understood did I among that clutter--
Understood his command as I could scarcely do a few moments before--
I typed as furious as was willed me, understanding just a minute before.
Again the bird said "pipe grep more!"
"Amazing!" said I, "Penguin we will conquor the world if you will!
By the Network that interconnects us--by that Finn we both adore--
We'll take this very world by storm!" For now grasped I what he'd meant,
The thing I do while searching /usr/doc/* for that wond'rous lore--
Those compendiums of plaintext documentation and descriptive lore.
Quoth the Penguin, "pipe grep more!"
And the Penguin, never waddling, still is sitting, still is sitting
In the middle of my room and still very cluttered floor;
And his eyes have all the seeming of the free beer I am drinking
And the term'nal-light o'er him glowing throws his shadows on the floor;
And this OS from out the shadows that is pow'ring my term'nal on the floor
Shall be dominating--"Pipe grep more!"

It's been a while..
...since I last posted. Yeah I know been feeling lazy =p
Anyways uploaded my Vietnam pictures into my Flickr (finally). Tagged them and such, and jUploadr crashed -_- So did it again and it's uploading now. Huzzah!
Too lazy to talk about the trip, except it was fun! Fun! and FUN! And I'd go again.
And also, instead of being 'typical' tourists and buying all the touristy stuff (like bargain items (for SGians)), we bought lots of .. toiletries.. hehe.
Anyway feeling poet-y today, so here's 2
Popped into my head in the toilet (cough cough)
Is this poetry?
May it be two verses or three,
As long as it will rhyme,
And stand the test of time.
And another one for R's picture:
Sought by many, found by few,
He waits in his lair, feathered wings coated in morning dew,
Spawned from the blood of creature most hideous,
He stands, tall and strong, regal form so beauteous,
Pegasus, who arose from Medusa's blood,
Shall aid Kratos and turn Zeus' tears into a flood.
For his cloud pic
Somehow the haiku mood is gone, and the general ABAB poems that I usually write. Never really wrote the AABB type before.. Heh.
Must learn to write better poems and haikus. So far most of my haikus suck =p

Installing Love
Found this on a forum =p
INSTALLING LOVE
Tech Support: Yes, .. how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install
Love. Can you guide me though the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready.
What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you
located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.
Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running ?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge
and Resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt
from your current operating system. It may remain
in your permanent memory but it will no longer
disrupt other programs. Love will eventually
override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own!
called High Self- Esteem. However, you have to
completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those
programs prevent Love from being properly
installed. Can you turn those off ?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me
how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke
Forgiveness. Do this as many times as
necessary until Grudge and Resentment have
been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that
normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the
base program. You need to begin connecting to
other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error
� Program not run on external components " What
should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set
up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been
run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply
means you have to Love yourself before you can
Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the
following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth;
and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The
system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin
patching faulty programming. Also, you need
to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all
directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make
sure it is completely gone ! and never comes back.
Customer: Got it Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is
playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are
copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes
awhile,but eventually everything gets it at the
proper time. So Love is installed and running. One
more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be
sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you
meet. They will in turn share it with others and return
some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.

Sucky Singnet
So last month dear ISP Singnet sent a snail mail to me. Congratulations! In an effort to serve you, our distinguished customer better, we're going to bump up your 1.5mpbs connection to 3mpbs! For free! You don't need to pay a penny more! (Rephrase mine)
Contrary to nubs, who would rejoice and say yes! Omg! Singnet is the greatest! I was instantly aware of problems ahead, thanks to a similar move made by Starhub last year when I was on cable.
So the end of the month came and I got bumped up to 3mbps.
Any difference?
No.
Well there is... surfing became really slow. Just last week I would take 1 minute to render a wiki page on Firefox. Some pages are completely unloadable, giving the connection reset, or (in IE's case, a blank white page). Other websites have suffered a similar fate, having numerous connection reset messages, which I have to press refresh a few times to get it to connect to properly.
Oh you say, why not just use the proxy? It's faster and it loads the pages!
But it's dumb. I cannot type "google" into Firefox with the proxy set up. It would just give me a "Page not found .. not in proxy blah page".
Filed a complaint to Singnet. Wiki is like, well the basic basic access... If I can't even go to Wiki ....
Well lets say I'm perfectly aware of when my contract with them expires.

Of boys and men
So today, I learnt that a long time friend of mine transferred servers. Well this fact was not entirely unexpected, and logically it's a good move for him (for me too). However, the way it was done, and the way it ended... Would be lying if I said I didn't feel meh about it.
It started out as a disagreement, with me ending up ignoring him for a bit. It was a bad run, and I felt bad as my abilities were called to question. As a healer, it always feels bad when someone dies, whether through my own negligence or his own nubbishness. But anyways, so he sends a message about "this is my last msg to you" etc etc. And well, even though I apologised and threw the ball into his court, he didn't respond. Well so there, can't expect me to keep messaging him and stuff right? I have my own ego and pride too.
Actually, come to think of it, he reminds me of.. .well, me. Well past me. In the past I would do that too, once the gates were slammed down, that offending person would be thrown out of the Court (so to speak). Contacts, phone book .. etc would be erased and thrown out.
Good thing I've evolved since then, time and experience make good temperance. Lost a dear friend due to that, and that will always eat at me <_<. One of the people I cared about .. she tossed the ball into my court and I didn't return it... Well, fact was I didn't know how to do it, was too prideful then. Sigh.
So yeah, he reminds me of past me. At least I've evolved.

Good thing I've evolved since then, time and experience make good temperance. Lost a dear friend due to that, and that will always eat at me <_<. One of the people I cared about .. she tossed the ball into my court and I didn't return it... Well, fact was I didn't know how to do it, was too prideful then. Sigh.
So yeah, he reminds me of past me. At least I've evolved.

Work never ends..
Work never ends..
Stats stats and more stats
Have been hit by the stats fever recently. On hindsight, damnit I should have put it in way earlier, that way I can get even more information on The Product™. But I guess, better late than never, right? Just TODAY. Yes today, dumbass, it finally hit on me to set up a conversion goal for Google Analytics.
Hopefully I'll have some results in soon. Google Analytics if fun actually, looking at all the data amassed. I've added one to my blog too, sadly the visit rate is so low, heh, less than 10 so far! Tsk. Looks like I must blog about more interesting things huh, to get readership up =p
One stat that GA doesn't seem to have is the time of a visitor's visit. I have numbers, I have time.. but mysteriously, for the life of me, I couldn't find an entry for time of visit... Sigh, had to cross reference with Apache's logs.. seems like the most time people visit The Product™ (assuming SG time I hope..) is 20-01 .. guess I'll try, if I can, to run The Product™ around these times and hopefully catch a few people...
