Okay folks, I think I finally won my battle with my computer. And the bonus: Linux Mandrake 9.2 and Windows 2000 and living in harmony in the same hard drive! (I was having trouble with that on my last reformat.) I still have to install the other stuff like our MTS DSL connectivity and a [...]
Quick post before computer dies again.
I bought that can of compressed air and did a thorough cleaning of my dusty computer. I don’t think I’ve fixed the problem, though. Now it will stay alive for an hour or two before dying the blue-screen death. It also eats up the 256MB of RAM as it gets sicker. Hymie suggests that my [...]
This week: sickness and blue screens.
I’ve been computerless (again) since Sunday. Got the blue screen of death; not the CTRL-ALT-DELETE kind… the “beginning physical dump of memory” kind. Not good. I think it’s because our CPU has 3 inches of dust built up inside. Either our fan is clogged by it or our fan broke because of it. Cannot wait [...]
Dave’s Screenplay a Festival Winner!
Plugging my friend’s screenplay that is one of the Top 20 Screenplays in the World, according to Key West Indie Fest, an annual independent film festival in Florida. Dave says he’ll be going to Key West in May to attend the festival, and a Vancouver magazine will be interviewing him this month about his win. [...]
Do the Geek Test!
It’s all Karl’s fault. Found another online test to do. It’s The Geek Test…here’s my score: 41.8146% – Major Geek I am a little disappointed at my low geekiness factor. I thought I was a bigger geek! Doesn’t have enough references to spelling bees, RPGs, anal retentiveness, Sailor Moon and Buffy. Ah well (shrug). If [...]
In a quote-y mood.
Anyone who knew the AIESEC SFU exec teams knows the ubiquity of the email quote footer. We used them to advertise AIESEC and events, represent our personalities, inspire others. I am actually not a big fan of quotes (my email footer was just my VP title and contact info). I suck at quotes! You know [...]
Site feed available, but comments still suck.
For those of you who are PDA-enabled and are endlessly fascinated by my blog ramblings, you can now download PDA-friendly versions of my posts. There is a new link called Site Feed by Atom in the main menu, over there somewhere –> Click the link to view the text-only posts. What you do to download [...]
Great Swing video clips!
Came across this terrific website from the swing dancers in Melbourne, AU. First site I’ve seen with an abundance of free video snippets on Lindy, Balboa, Charleston and East Coast (AKA Jitterbug or Jive…what’s in a name anyway?). Check it out, they are the best I’ve seen on the web. Swing Patrol’s Video Clips My [...]
Hometown Celebrity Spotting.
Hey, just saw Riaz Meghji (AIESEC SFU) and Amalia Townsend (fellow LFA ’97 grad) on MTV Canada Select. Riaz was interviewing a sports team (the Thrashers?) and Amalia was interviewed about the Rock for Choice benefit. They both seem to be doing well for themselves. Way to go guys!
Vancouver… *sigh*
All the stuff that happened this weekend has made me feel nostalgic about Vancouver. Just got an email from an old friend, Corey. He and I met in first year at SFU, even before I knew of this thing called AIESEC. Now our mutual friend Albert is going away on a traineeship. His email’s reminded [...]
