These days I have just been trying to slow down in relax. Not too long ago I realized that I was overworking myself, spreading myself too thin. Regrettably, I had been so busy trying to keep the event of my life in motion that I had forgotten to live. We work that we may rest and enjoy the fruits of our labor; we do not work that we may continue to ( Read more... )

Strangly recently I seemingly became an unofficial mathematics tutor not too long after one of my friends became an T.A. in math. Against my better judgment, sometimes I wonder of if the universe is somehow cognizant of the goings on of my life and designs all sort of clever little jokes at my expense. I explained logarithms, sets, unions of sets, ( Read more... )

Well, as every music lover knows, Sony BMG has been deploying rootkits onto the systems of millions of hapless people. This has incited lawsuits and bad PR against the coporate giant, and I have to say that I back that all the way. I understand that copying CDs and giving the music to people who have no intention whatsoever of buying it is wrong. ( Read more... )

I think R. Hoare's English version of Rammstein's "Engel" (it's not a true translation) has a certain charm to it ( Read more... )

Another archaic song for you all. I'm just posting the English ( Read more... )

Unix:

You shoot youself in the foot.

Dos:

You keep running up against the one-bullet barrier.

MS-Windows:

The gun blows up in your hand.

Windows NT:

The gun is so huge and unwieldy that you have to keep swapping it from one hand to the another.

OS/2:

The gun and the bullet aren't speaking to eachother anymore.

Mac ( Read more... )

....you start write to C code like this:

void displayBits(int n)
{
    char bits[33];
    int i;

for (i = 0; i < 32; i++)
        bits[i] = ((n >> (31 - i)) & 0x01) ? '1' : '0';

bits[32] = '\0';

puts(bits);

}
Pretty ugly. Not the worst I've written by far, and I could write that much more hackishly now that I am more awake. Well ( Read more... )

When I think about it, music has played a large, therapeutic role in my life. For me there seems to be a music for nearly anything, songs to which I choose to listen to enhance some feeling or my concentration. Particularly good songs have some sort of message or story, or they cause you to look at something in a different way ( Read more... )
