Chasing After Rainbows

I know I haven't been doing updates to my blogs, but I have been busy with other things that I am unable to find the time to even bother updating, including one that just invoves copy and pasting from elsewhere ^^. Since I'm busy with stuff, you might have noticed that I don't log in to various sites regularly, let alone update. However, even when I'm not busy, I almost never log into MySpace or Facebook. For the former, it's because there are hardly anyone I know there. For the latter, you can't customise the profile much and full of annoying/boring and "useless" amount of "applications". If you want to add to either, feel free to do so but do note that it may take a long time before I approve them. The thing that I do update is that banner thing you see at the top, the colour of the chatbox (dark backgrounds don't go well when it's transparent) and the blog itself. I would probably need to crop and/or resize the image for the banne

I have used various versions, distributions and GUIs of Linux. I prefer the GNOME or KDE interface. As for the distro, I prefer Ubuntu (and it's variants like Kubuntu and Xubuntu) and Fedora. For those 2, I have used version 7.06 (latest 8.01b) and F1 (latest F8) for the respective distro. However, I have stopped using them due to compatability & hardware issues with the old PCs and the diffculty of installing programs on top of terms that I am not famillar with, like "repository". Not sure if Linux supports NTFS, the last I know was that it can be opened as read-only. I'm not sure if VLC Player is already pre-installed in fedora but to install on Fedora Core v8, you need to install livna-release-8.rpm by using the following codes in the console (ms-dos/unix like interface): $> su - #> rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm #> yum install vlc #> yum install python-vlc mozilla-vlc (optionnal) I'll probably use it when that PC is hardl

It can't be taking that long... (21994 days = 60 1/4 years) It used to only say "Calculating time remaining...", but this is too much. If you look at the amount left to transfer and the transfer speed, it would take aproxmately 1min 20sec to do so.

(Friend requests at my 2nd  account is very long. Add that to the current 2800+ and my other accounts and you would get the idea how large it is. I don't know what to do...) Woke up at 0605h but still sleepy from the day before. Manage to turn off the alarm before they ring at 0610h. Dad asked me to shower before him. After finishing stuff and changing at 0640h, ate breakfast. Dad send me to school. Have to leave by 0710h to avoid massive jam. Since there is quite some time before class start, asked him to drop in the neighbourhooding town as usual. As it's raining, I asked him to drop me elsewhere. Manage to get to the nearest bus stop that has buses that goes to my school. In the bus, I played my mp3 player. When I reach there, I walked to school. (It was still raining and still listing to my mp3) When I was almost reach the usual junction, I hear a voice that I don't recall being in the music. When I turned around, I saw an angry Chinese man in his 50s on his bike. I w

Lately, I have been seeing more and more people playing with their Nintendo DS Lite and PSP, with the latter being more common. I want one..., a laptop is too bulky to be carried around and a mobile phone screen is too small. On a side note, my grandparents' (father's side) house is repossed by "them" for not paying the installments. It appears that this could have been avoided if they lived in a 4-room or smaller and/or my uncle (in his 30s) who is living with them is actually working. I don't know what will happen to them; I'm not really close with them anyway. As for those on my mother's side, I don't even know them as they appeared to have died just a few years before my elder sister is born. Btw: I have another phone line. It's prepaid btw and it (apparently) can be used overseas unlike the other one. The number is +** - ***2****. It's easy to remember. Also, I am currently removing inactive (2 weeks or more) people and those who forward t

I used to add various songs to the music playlist and figure out a way in such that my favorite songs are in it. Now (several years ago actually), with the music library, I can now just view by album, artist or genre. However, the files themselves remains unorganized. Recently, I saw a "Keep files organized" option (under Edit->Presences->Advanced) in iTunes . What it does is that it moves all the files that you had already added to the library there (unless deleted/moved to elsewhere without updating) your iTunes music folder. Now, what used to be a messy folders with inconsistent names are sorted nicely. Though there are some minor problems. If the original folder contains files other than the mp3 files, only the mp3 files are sorted into the appropriate folders. Since they are going to be moved from the original folders, make sure that the details are correct as it may be hard to relocate it if you are not familiar with the song is. I remove songs that I don't l

I was doing stuff to my face when something white accompanied by near-transparent liquid (and blood) came out from inside my face like a rocket. Before that happened, it felt like a lump. Wonder what created that thing... All the Volvo B10M MKII buses are being replaced by the Scania K230UB (pictured) this year.
