液晶テレビ買っちゃいました^^;

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

yes, i went out on saturday and found myself a 40″ samsung lcd television.  pictures > 1,000 words imo.

i kinda rearranged the basement, and said goodbye to my long lasting desktop pc setup.  it is now dedicated to this screen, leaving only my laptop in charge of my daily activities.  not a big loss really.  strangely though, my desktop lcd has become kind of redundant.  i’m not sure what i’ll do with this – there will be times when i will miss it if i sell it now, i know.  but if anyone is looking for a 21″ lcd (1680×1050 viewsonic) then ask me about it plz!

i guess you get the idea.  now all i need is a wii!  @10days!  i guess we can start counting the sleeps until rls :p.

i played badminton tonight with friends from high school that i see about once every 6 months.  awesome fun, but my muscles are in the pain that is caused by sudden exercise after being deprived of it for many years.  ^^;

desktop post!

Monday, November 20th, 2006

i figure since i take pride in making my desktops nice once in a while, i should show them off a bit.  high usability and a minimalistic look win.

peppy – my vaio.  nothing really special or changed.  a vista-ish feeling without beind overly black, or slow.

pepper – my dying desktop

the graphics card overheated to the point it was freezing up playing mp3s this evening :( .  i’ve recently got foobar working again in a niceish way, after losing my old config a while ago.  having nicely tagged music is really good (much thanks to gen :p).

an upload script

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

While i’m quite reluctant to post this because i’ll no doubt get hacked (like last time >.<) but hey – i like to take risks.

pUp – a slightly more secure upload script (than last time).

Obviously a lot of room for improvement – but hey, it was only an hour’s work. Give it a shot if you’re bored.

time to hijax some sessions!

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Today i finished my last project, this time for Computer and Network Security. It was quite an interesting look into some packet logs of attacks on a certain network. Our role was to analyse and produce a report.

Visio sure makes pretty looking diagrams :) . Anyways, other than a single presentation left tomorrow, uni is officially over. hooray.

On another note, i’ve decided to retire the shoutbox on my blog due to the amount of spam. i’m sure noone cares :D .
