A Cub’s Fan III

Thursday, October 16th, 2003

This is just getting worse. So our friend Steve apologized, but Cubs will have to wait another year or more… the funny part, or stupid part, is that Gov. Jeb Bush and Floridians are willing to give him an asylum, this is getting out of hand.
…an oceanfront retreat is offering Bartman a free three-month […]

A Cub’s Fan II

I know it’s brutal, but The Smoking Gun’s got his file. His name is Steve Bartman. Ouch.

Unicode

Wednesday, October 15th, 2003

Thanks to Joel Spolsky: Unicode explained. I’ve been using EUC-JP encoding in my most Japanese web pages, but since now I am on Windows machine, every darn thing is encoded in Shift-JIS. maybe I should look into UTF-8. By the way this webpage is in UTF-8 so you should be able to […]

A Cub’s Fan

Wednesday, October 15th, 2003

I don’t believe in The Curse. or ANY curse for that matter. If a team lose a baseball game it is not because of some dead baseball player or whatever. RedSox just coudn’t hit. Only players who is hitting is Todd Walker and Trot Nixon. That is the reason the Sox lost. If you don’t […]

Linux trouble

Tuesday, October 14th, 2003

I ran apt-get dist-upgrade and it upgraded GAIM, automatically, and now it doesn’t work!
Also I think I came one-step closer to be able to play DVD on my computer. There was no /dev/dvd in the machine, so I ran “ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/dvd” and now Xine sees that there is a DVD-Rom, but before […]

One Nail Biter after another…

Monday, October 13th, 2003

This is a exciting time, there is no question about that. Red Sox catches up and series is now tied 2-2. But man, this pressure and anxiety is unblievable. I am a pretty loving person, but, geez, when Jeff Nelson or Jorge Posada shows up on the TV screen, It really makes me angry… it’s […]

It’s a small world after all…

Sunday, October 12th, 2003

When I have to call my parents in Japan, such pages like World Time is very valuable. It is really confusing with the daylight saving time stuff. Oh no, now I have that song is stuck in my head… Help!

Just a game, right?

Sunday, October 12th, 2003

I guess, wrong. Geez. Can we just all get along and playt the “game” of baseball? CRAZY. mlb.com, ESPN, NYTimes and SportsLine. What a ugly, ugly game. Pretty disapointing. Shame on you: Martinez, Garcia, Clemens, Ramirez, ZImmer…
And this just in: Jeff Nelson is a a**hole. I also hate Posada. Geez I hope Boston beat […]

More Web Tools

“XML Powered” Whois Source gives you not only the registrant information but also other infomations, such as Meta Description, Keywords, server info to DMOZ listing, and Y! listings. Pretty good.
