another slash against IE

It was bound to happen. I was recently intrigued by the possibility of utilizing Google Desktop for remote data retrieval of personal user data (such as credit cards and passwords) through the use of a malicious web page. – Using CSS to phish information from your computer with Internet Explorer

evening plans, crummy weather

At Jessica’s urging, I’m posting in here, even though nothing exciting is happening in my life at the moment. Today was the last day of classes; physics was okay, though he didn’t do any cool demos. CS was as boring as usual and I don’t know why I thought it necessary to go, [...]

últimos examenes

Me alegra mucho que el semestre termina en solamente una semana porque ahora estoy sometida a muchas tensiones relacionadas a la universidad, especialmente mis clases de la física y ingeniería eléctrica. Esta mañana dormí hasta aproximadamente 2 por la tarde y empecé estudiando para el cálculo, pero no pude estudiar por mucho tiempo. [...]

fans and sunrises

It was in the future but I was in a large stone castle. I was standing on the balcony of a turret with a bunch of other people, and I was wearing a long purple dress with a pointy hat that had a ribbon attached to it; very medieval-princessy. The ground below was [...]

lip gloss and a palm reading

I was in my twenties and while the time period was in the 2000’s, a lot of things seemed medieval. I stormed into my house wearing a black business suit and looking pissed (I was seeing myself from the outside). Valarie, Jayne from the show Firefly, and some other people were there. [...]

Lookit, my house. You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You are shy and reserved. If you’ve drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone. You are very tidy person. There’s nothing wrong with that because you’re pretty popular among friends. son. You [...]

Blood theme now default

There’s a new default theme: Blood. It has a few large graphics so you may not want to use it if you have a slow connection. Since the sidebar is so simple in it, I’ve made all the skins available under the domain section on their own page, Skins. I also [...]

chess and StairMasters

Another day, another lost game of chess; sigh. Scott and I have gotten into the habit of playing a game of chess a night via Yahoo! Games since neither of us have an actual chess set here. I haven’t won yet! I thought he was exaggerating when he initially told me that [...]

5 random things about me

Rules: Post 5 random and weird facts about yourself, then at the end, list the names of 5 people whom you in turn infect. Also, leave a post to these people letting them know they have been infected. I was “infected” by Trin. I’m afraid I won’t have any really weird ones because, [...]

Christmas gathering, photos

I just returned from Christmas with my dad’s side of the family. It was a nice get-together, even though we were initially skeptical because we were holding it at a church community center instead of someone’s house. That turned out not to be a bad decision, though, as there were a bunch of [...]

lazing around, grades

I’ve been spending the past few days doing a whole lot of nothing, which is a great feeling after spending all of finals week studying and having back pain as a result of studying. I’ve just been playing The Sims 2, reading The Da Vinci Code, and writing in my journal. My gift [...]

beginning Linux guide

Don't look on this guide as though you have to learn all this stuff right now in order to be able to use Linux. No. You can get around otherwise, enjoying Linux and getting work done at the same time without messing around with the command-line, which is what a lot of this guide deals with. Look over this guide and then pick and choose what you need. Want to learn how to change file permissions? Check out the section on the chmod command. Want to know what program to use for a certain task? Check out that section. You don't have to memorize all this stuff to get around, but it's there if you need it.

Hoo hoo hoo!: “The European Commission has threatened to fine Microsoft up to 2m euros (£1.36m; $2.4m) a day until it gives rivals more access to its systems.“

some Bzoink surveys

Well, I’m bored and don’t feel like reading, playing the Sims, or watching a movie, so I guess I’ll resort to taking surveys. Besides, Trin apparently needs stuff to do as well, as she said she’d take any surveys I did. Gotta keep her busy! Random Thought Provokers What makes you laugh?: Family Guy Who is [...]

new skin, The Da Vinci Code so far

I just finished putting up the Winter theme and removing several of the other skins. The only ones left are Blood, Orchid, and Winter, and they’re all accessible on the skins page. I had Trin check the site in IE and she says it looks fine; I’ve checked Firefox and Opera. Let [...]

Clichés of a Crappy Site

If you’ve browsed through many personal sites at all, you’ve probably seen some of the following things that make me personally cringe. I don’t understand why they’re so trendy, since they don’t improve a site in the least. The example images link to the web sites from which I took the screen shot. Text Tiny fonts The purpose [...]

saxophones and movies

I drove my car into a parking garage in a part of the city with a very old-fashioned style of architecture; everything looked Victorian. I was there to meet Todd and Scott so that we could watch a movie together. At first Scott wasn’t there, so Todd and I went to get fried [...]

extracting audio from a DVD

It's pretty easy to extract just the audio from a DVD in Linux, using Mplayer, sox, and either Audacity or split.
