Curse, shmurse

Friday, July 30th, 2004

The Major League Baseball’s trading deadline is quickly approaching, which means it is rumor time. There was one rumor that our own NOMAH — that’s Boston Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra for all you non-Sox fans — was possibly going to the Chicago Cubs (and veteran pitcher Randy Johnson coming to the Sox… which will […]

I don’t believe in the Curse

Wednesday, July 28th, 2004

I do not believe a player from 80 years ago caused all the things to a baseball team, but I thought this paragraph that appeared on “Convention Special Section’ (which was a really good section btw.) about ‘the Curse’ was at least a good historical reference:

Here’s what happened after the Red Sox traded Babe […]

PHP memo to myself

Monday, July 12th, 2004

I guess it has changed when php went to 4.0, but now you need to add following one line to make simple form php working:
$nameinform = $_GET[’nameinform’];

Good to know. (Obviously use $_POST[’nameinform’] when form is method=”post”)

And a link to php time formatting, that I am always looking for…

A month old baby

Sunday, July 11th, 2004

Bits and pieces of my exciting (boring?) life.

Time flies: Jonathan is a month old!
My dog Oliver had his teeth cleaned by the vet and he has nice white teeth. He smells good, too. Now I don’t have to push him away when he tris to kiss me… Well, it cost me an arm and a […]

Turning Japanese II

On linux machine, sometimes you have to manually turn on input method. Here is how to do that (provided that you have installed Japanese enviromnet in system):

push Shift-Space and [a] should show up. […]

Jumper Pins

Monday, July 5th, 2004

Can’t get my slave drive to show up on Panther on my old G4. Found good Jumper pin reference. I guess when you set it to “cable select” black one is master and gray one is slave. It doesn’t work for me though.
Many things among them, old digital photos are in there! I need to […]

FireFox 9.1

Saturday, July 3rd, 2004

FireFox 9.1 is out and I just downloaded it to my laptop. Maybe a bit faster? don’t really notice the difference. It imported bookmarks and personal setting from 8, It has not crashed yet (knock on wood). Flash installer was easy over command line. Other plugin docs are also available.
So far the best change I […]

A sad, sad baby

Saturday, July 3rd, 2004

When he cries he looks really sad. Now he has tears filling up his eyes. Mom can make him instantly happy with her boobs but what am I to do? Here is a pretty good article about it. We have this really cute Dog stuffed animal, and my mom and I named him Gonta, […]
