    Since LiveJournal now supports tags, I don't want to have to login to another account to post tech items. Because of this, I'll be keeping cyberlizard active just for older entries, and will now post tech items here.

  • For You Puzzle Fiends

    Picked up from Charles Miller's quick links: Sudoku (and pursuing Sudoku with pseudocode, as well as the Wikipedia on Sudoku).

  • Ignore this...

    This is just a test of LiveJournal’s tagging system (web client has the interface).

  • YAM/Q: "about you"

    1. Reply with your name and I will write something I like about you.
    2. I will then tell what song/movie/icon reminds me of you.
    3. If I were to apply an o'clock to you, it would be...
    4. I will try to name a single word that best describes you.
    5. I'll tell you the most memorable moment I've had with you.
    6. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
    7. I'll then tell you something that I've always wondered about you.
    8. Put this in your journal. (Optional for me— if you want to then put it.)
  • Pam is responsible for making me do this. Meanie.

  • Well folks, it’s been weeks since I last updated with anything substantial (the last entry, YAMQ, doesn’t count). It’s been a busy month for me so far. I’m back to school, I’m now twenty-three, and I just attended one amazing live jazz performance, among other things.

  • You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

    Had a brilliant conversation with my long-time friend, Leandro last night. We caught up with each other’s lives, and talked about each of our own passions— computers in my case, and architecture. Such conversation was something I truly miss. We talked about how architecture was about solving problems. Leandro asked me if I had heard about Christopher Alexander; I replied that the name was familiar to me. It was, because I realized belatedly, after Leandro described Alexander’s major work, A Pattern Language, that Alexander influenced current-day thinking into the production and design of software— he is considered the father of the pattern language movement in computer science. We talked about the intersection of the two fields. And we talked about the opposite sex, about love, about life.

    1. While walking to Glorietta from school, what with the transport strike and there being no jeeps, and besides the fact that I like walking, I actually thought it was a weekend.
    2. On my Linux desktop, two apps that weren't supposed to fight over the sound card did and locked up the sound system (i.e. no sound, and no way to kill the processes, as they were blocked on I/O).
    3. On Undernet, I get G-lined, told off that, quote, "G-lined ([0] infected! Advertising infecting web sites. Clean this computer!". On X-Chat. Running Linux. With a very strict firewall. On a side note, Zak also tried connecting to the Undernet, first by connecting directly, then by tunneling to a machine outside the PH netblock. (Apparently, either someone screwed up or a whole slew of IPs got G-lined. For one reason or another. I do believe someone shot himself on the foot.)
    4. I can't stop something on Emacs by the magic 'C-g'.
