After eliminating all other possibilities, the one remaining-no matter how unlikely-must be the truth.
went to home depot and got myself some electrical tape. used it to complete my round ide cable project. the outcome was actually pretty nice. here’s a pic:
as for those that were unable to get animebon’s site to work, i’ve copied over the comic strip i wanted you guys to see:
ever wanted round ide cables but didnt want to cough up the extra bucks, well thanks to ungsunghero (who was apparently bored) decided to create some home-made round ide cables. it’s really cool. all i’m missing now is some electrical tape.
ungsunghero (10:48:36 PM): hey drunk
Krunk4Ever (10:48:46 PM): hola
ungsunghero (10:49:14 PM): ever try to make your own rounded cables?
Krunk4Ever (10:49:20 PM): nope
ungsunghero (10:49:27 PM): it’s fun!
Krunk4Ever (10:49:35 PM): just twist and tape right?
ungsunghero (10:49:42 PM): you could do that
ungsunghero (10:49:44 PM): or do what i did
ungsunghero (10:49:55 PM): take a knife, and separate the wires by hand
ungsunghero (10:49:57 PM): roll, and tape
Krunk4Ever (10:50:02 PM): oooh!
Krunk4Ever (10:50:04 PM): does that work?
ungsunghero (10:50:11 PM): then again, i was only “practicing”
ungsunghero (10:50:16 PM): with a messed up floppy cable
ungsunghero (10:50:20 PM): i assume it’ll work
Krunk4Ever (10:50:29 PM): well,
Krunk4Ever (10:50:33 PM): i have tons of ide cables now
Krunk4Ever (10:50:38 PM): bought 3 ata100 for $1
ungsunghero (10:50:42 PM): where at?
Krunk4Ever (10:50:48 PM): cause i thought it was my cables causing problems
Krunk4Ever (10:50:55 PM): well, it was a special deal from my uncle
ungsunghero (10:51:05 PM): nice
Krunk4Ever (10:51:07 PM): he custom builds computers
Krunk4Ever (10:51:11 PM): and has tons laying around
ungsunghero (10:51:12 PM): if i had a digicam…i’d show you my work
Krunk4Ever (10:51:17 PM): lemme try
Krunk4Ever (10:51:21 PM): what;d u do afterwards?
ungsunghero (10:51:28 PM): electrical tape
ungsunghero (10:51:31 PM): wrap it around
ungsunghero (10:51:41 PM): do you have a nail clipper?
Krunk4Ever (10:51:42 PM): ata100 are much thinner tho
Krunk4Ever (10:51:45 PM): yah
Krunk4Ever (10:51:46 PM): i do
ungsunghero (10:51:56 PM): does it have that “tool”?
Krunk4Ever (10:52:03 PM): that knifey?
ungsunghero (10:52:06 PM): ok…
ungsunghero (10:52:08 PM): yes
ungsunghero (10:52:19 PM): use that…it makes a little hole between 2 wires
ungsunghero (10:52:26 PM): and they separate very easily
ungsunghero (10:53:32 PM): here’s a tip
ungsunghero (10:53:48 PM): use the tip of the “knifey”, push gently, and make a hole between the wires
ungsunghero (10:54:04 PM): then slide it gently in one direction until you can pull the wires apart
ungsunghero (10:54:22 PM): this way, you minimize the risk of tearing apart the plastic covering each wire
Krunk4Ever (10:54:28 PM): have u tried an ata100 cable yet
Krunk4Ever (10:54:33 PM): there’ much thinner
ungsunghero (10:54:50 PM): nope…i know
ungsunghero (10:54:56 PM): that would probably require an exacto
ungsunghero (10:54:57 PM): haha
Krunk4Ever (10:55:24 PM): welp
Krunk4Ever (10:55:27 PM): did my first cut
Krunk4Ever (10:55:41 PM): 40something more to go
ungsunghero (10:55:46 PM): only 38!
Krunk4Ever (10:55:56 PM): oh
Krunk4Ever (10:55:57 PM): really?
ungsunghero (10:56:06 PM): wait…40 wire or 80?
Krunk4Ever (10:56:35 PM): uh
Krunk4Ever (10:56:38 PM): dont wanna count them
ungsunghero (10:56:42 PM): (ata100 or not?)
Krunk4Ever (10:56:42 PM): looks like 40
Krunk4Ever (10:56:45 PM): ata100
ungsunghero (10:56:52 PM): then that’s 80 wire
ungsunghero (10:56:57 PM): which requires 39 cuts
Krunk4Ever (10:56:57 PM): no way
Krunk4Ever (10:56:59 PM): yeah
Krunk4Ever (10:57:02 PM): that’s what i meant
ungsunghero (10:57:08 PM): to save time, don’t do each individual wire
ungsunghero (10:57:11 PM): do 2 or 3 at a time
ungsunghero (10:57:18 PM): i just did them all b/c i’m REALLY bored
ungsunghero (10:57:28 PM): (and i’m using a floppy cable…34 wire…16 cuts)
ungsunghero (10:59:05 PM): one more tip
ungsunghero (10:59:10 PM): don’t cut at an angle
ungsunghero (10:59:14 PM): you’ll shred through the cable
ungsunghero (10:59:21 PM): and don’t pull apart rapidly (same thing)
ungsunghero (10:59:26 PM): <– speaking from experience
Krunk4Ever (10:59:57 PM): arrggh
Krunk4Ever (10:59:59 PM): sliced into one
ungsunghero (11:00:13 PM): your blade is probably too sharp then
ungsunghero (11:00:21 PM): let me paypal you $.33 for your loss
ungsunghero (11:00:21 PM): haha
ungsunghero (11:01:17 PM): argh! just pulled a cable out of the connector!!!
Krunk4Ever (11:02:48 PM): hehe
Krunk4Ever (11:03:15 PM): the wire itself hasnt been spliced
Krunk4Ever (11:03:17 PM): still workable?
ungsunghero (11:03:27 PM): probably
ungsunghero (11:03:33 PM): use a small piece of electrical tape
ungsunghero (11:03:35 PM): it’ll hold
ungsunghero (11:03:40 PM): btw, i just figured something out
ungsunghero (11:04:00 PM): make a cut between each wire, then split them all at once!
ungsunghero (11:04:01 PM): HAHAHA
ungsunghero (11:04:07 PM): makes life so much simpler!
Krunk4Ever (11:04:33 PM): yeah
Krunk4Ever (11:04:36 PM): that’s what i’m doing
ungsunghero (11:04:46 PM): you could’ve told me that
ungsunghero (11:04:46 PM): !
Krunk4Ever (11:04:55 PM): i thought that’s what u told me to do
ungsunghero (11:05:39 PM): i sort of did
ungsunghero (11:05:51 PM): except what i was doing is making the “incision”, then separating the wires COMPLETELY
ungsunghero (11:05:59 PM): which causes a huge mess as you are nearly finished
ungsunghero (11:06:01 PM): <– stupid
Krunk4Ever (11:07:39 PM): another thing i learnt
Krunk4Ever (11:07:43 PM): is cut near the middle
ungsunghero (11:07:49 PM): why?
Krunk4Ever (11:07:58 PM): saves u time ripping
Krunk4Ever (11:08:14 PM): cause when one end stops ripping
Krunk4Ever (11:08:25 PM): u have to grab another end closer to the unripped end for more support
ungsunghero (11:08:50 PM): it’s easier for me to start near the top
ungsunghero (11:09:06 PM): besides, near the top of the cable (at each connector), the wires flatten out
ungsunghero (11:09:17 PM): so it’s no use to separate them that close to the connector
Krunk4Ever (11:09:17 PM): u can flatten the wire
Krunk4Ever (11:09:22 PM): but using the corner of your table
Krunk4Ever (11:09:34 PM): and watcha call it
Krunk4Ever (11:09:40 PM): do that smoothing out trip
Krunk4Ever (11:09:42 PM): trick*
ungsunghero (11:10:07 PM): it doesn’t matter how neatly we tear the wires, right?
ungsunghero (11:10:13 PM): it’ll all end up inside the tape!!
ungsunghero (11:10:14 PM): !
ungsunghero (11:10:39 PM): yay! i’m done!
ungsunghero (11:10:53 PM): 34 wire floppy cable…33 cuts…each individual wire cut
ungsunghero (11:11:11 PM): btw, what were you doing before loser peter had to ruin your night by tempting you to make your own rounded cables?
Krunk4Ever (11:11:22 PM): now i need electrical tape
Krunk4Ever (11:13:29 PM): u think pvc tape would do?
ungsunghero (11:13:48 PM): pvc tape? i don’t like the sound of that
ungsunghero (11:13:49 PM): you can try it
ungsunghero (11:16:16 PM): my sister thinks i’m crazy
ungsunghero (11:18:48 PM): can you imagine us, retired, making rounded cables like old ladies knitting???
ungsunghero (11:18:52 PM): shudder…
Krunk4Ever (11:19:08 PM): lol
Krunk4Ever (11:19:35 PM): pvc tape isnt sticky enough
Krunk4Ever (11:19:41 PM): guess it was meant for plastic pipews
ungsunghero (11:20:12 PM): i guess so
ungsunghero (11:20:16 PM): i’m having blisters
ungsunghero (11:20:18 PM): are you?
Krunk4Ever (11:20:31 PM): nope
Krunk4Ever (11:20:38 PM): or not yet
ungsunghero (11:25:39 PM): you know how i got started on this?
ungsunghero (11:26:33 PM): you know how floppy cables have little separations in their wires
ungsunghero (11:26:34 PM): ?
ungsunghero (11:26:37 PM): well…i got bored
ungsunghero (11:26:43 PM): and pulled them apart
ungsunghero (11:26:51 PM): you could probably figure out the rest…
painting: who knew besides getting high, there was something even funner! was helping my uncle paint a room today with my cuz and got paint ALL OVER my hands. At first I was like grrrr, will need something to get this off (my cuz suggested paint thinner). however, as it dried, i realized I could peel it off. just like glue!. You guys ever just squeeze glue on to your hand, wait for it to dry, and then peel it off like it was your skin. If you haven’t it’s really fun. Of course I end it by munching on it. I wouldn’t suggest that since it doesnt especially taste good. hehe.
last thing i wanted to note was that Arby’s has INCREDIBLE service. Today we went out to lunch @ Arby’s in City of Industry. I ordered an Ultimate BLT and my cuz ordered a Beef ‘N Cheddar. While we were chatting and waiting for our meal to come, I realized that people who ordered after us were getting their meals. I thought maybe ours took a little longer. Finally I got up and he asked if we got our meal yet. We both answered nope. He apologized and immediately began filling out plate. We were like, okay, people often forget (especially me, hehe). Then he asked if we wanted a shake to go with our meal. We both declined (later finding out he was offering it to us for free). I got my curly fries SUPER-SIZED for free. He also threw in an extra Roast Beef and Cheddar ‘N Beef to show their sincerity. We were like kewl!
i’m very sorry about no updates for the past 2 days. been dead tired from work. the place i work @ is recently moving to a new office and it’s very frustrating how my work is dependent on the telephone/network guys for finishing their job. however, a very unprofessional/unreliable guy delayed my cousin and me for over a WEEK!!! things that should’ve been done since last friday was delayed till yesterday night. my cousin is going back today to see if they’re done yet.
new toy for me today!!! went to CompUSA and got myself a WD 100GB 7200RPM for $120 w/ $20 MIR (mail-in rebate) a dollar per gig. going to replace all 3 of my current harddrives (30 + 30 + 40 = 100GB)
just found out I won a PS2 Game during one of kellog’s promotions. received Gran Turismo 3: A-spec for PS2; but i got no PS2, so just going to sell it on eBay or Half.com.
today I went friend-hopping. actually 2 friends only, so only 1 hop. hehe. Went to visit ungsunghero. haven’t seen him IN SO LONG! but we’ve always chatted online. those 3am chats were “awesomely cool“. hehe we traded some computer stuff then I went to elbandmonkey’s home because he was in need of a Calculus book to help prep for college. When I got there, he was on his bike ready to go to the library. IT’S SUMMER! YOU DON’T GO TO THE LIBRARY!
as for domain names, i’ve been thinking of krunk4ever.net & krunk4ever.org; however i really have no purpose with these domains besides serving files. so if anyone wants to partner up; i’m open to choices. ^_^x
oooooh! just remember i still need to sell my SW Rapid Rewards ticket. Total Cost of 3 round trip tickets = ~$240. Price I can probably sell on eBay = ~$280. Net cost for all the flights home = -$40. w00h00! hehe
guess what, more toys!!! my cable modem/router for my apartment came in earlier this week; but they wont be tested till i move in in August. as for my digicam, it’s here! arrived in 2 days! that’s fast! ripped apart the box when i got home and started playing with it. it’s like a small laptop where it makes beeps and chimes. scary! oh yeah, i’d tell you how i got my camera, but it’s sorta unethical, BUT TOTALLY LEGAL. Let’s just say @ the end, with the purchase of an additional 128mb Secure Digital flash card, i came out with $30 in my pocket.
had baskin robbins for lunch and came home @ 9 and was starving to death. note to self: get a more fulfilling lunch if i plan to work late.
well, i’m all packed to goto ensanada tomorrow, so.. so.. I.. guess… this is… good-bye. *sniff* don’t worry, i’ll be back on monday with kewl pictures from my new camera. -_^x
guess what! i’m getting a new toy! check it out here! w00h00! Thanks dad! *snap*
btw, my friend RipFace gave me this cool page on Where’s Waldo? It’s back! -_^x
Now time for some sad news, as you know our beloved math teacher Ms. Aslanian (sometimes called Aslainian) has recently passed away. *sniff* The following info may be a bit late, but here goes:
The funeral is going to be held on Wednesday, June 19, 2:30 PM at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Burbank…off the 134 freeway on Forest Lawn Drive…there are two chapels… go to the red brick chapel. – n0rybic | more info is on the top of Mark Keppel’s website.
Well, it’s time for some good news. for those that forgot or didn’t know. Today was Shirley’s BDay. ~Happy Birthday Shirley!!!
Cheers up for all the graduating seniors for keppel!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Any way, for those that ‘forgot’ (which is a common thing i practice, hehe), it was Sam’s bday yesterday. ~Happy Birthday Sam Fu! We all LUV you!!! Anyway, i took tons of pictures yesterday and currently uploading them to my dotphoto album. Enjoy ^_^x (comments will come soon afterwards).
Many of you might’ve noticed that I’ve been going to bed fairly early recently (~1am). That’s because my dad won’t lemme drive to work unless I get a full 8hours of sleep. Sigh… That was also the cause of being unable to update my website for the past 2 days. I just have too much to do! =(
You may noticed i’ve been disconnecting every 4hours (8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm, 12am, etc.) After 6 calls to Charter Communication, a lady was able to explain to me what’s happening. Apparently, every 4 hours, they release/renew the ips, but apparently my cable modem/router isn’t cooperating and reconnects when they do so.
I miss my T3 connection ;(. Although it was slow to outside connections, it was amazingly fast between edu connections and movies within 15mins! Anime took me 4mins before. Now they take me half an hour. *sniff*.
Anyway, nothing much happened to me today. I just found out something great about USPS. They now allow you to buy postage for Priority Mail online! So all you need to do now, is print and drop off. NO MORE WAITING IN LINE @ the post office! Isn’t that awesomely cool!?!?!
I’ve fixed some problems with the links page. If there’s any more problems, please email me. Thanks!
Welp, back to watching Hikaru no Go. New episodes are coming out! ^_^x
just got back from san francisco on sunday nite and still unpacking. it was a great week besides that i didn’t have much internet access. the site will not resume normal progress until probably friday or this weekend because while i was staying @ SF, i’ve learnt or began learning php thanks to cunndogg. this is going to make my life so much easier. u see that menu on the left, i can no program that once and it’ll automatically know what to highlight, what to extend depending on the link you clicked. php IS SO POWERFUL!!!
also, when i got home, i found a motherboard sitting on my desk. I ACTUALLY WON SOMETHING FROM THAT AMD & NVIDIA sweepstakes. w00h00! check out the 2nd place winner list for my name ^_^x
I’d be happy to announce the 2nd wave of pictures (last of dorm & dave’s bday) are up and ready to be viewed and laughed at (or enjoyed if that’s what you do). hehe. Enjoy and have a great summer and i’ll probably be back up and running on friday. I start working on Wednesday ^_^x
My own domain is finally up! w00h00!!! It might be a bit slow, but what else can you expect to get out of less than $4/year. I won’t be updating much in the next few days due to finals.The following items do not work: Old News; #calnime; Picture of the Week. You can still accessthe old stuff @ OCF. Wow, I just realizehow much more I can do when I own my own domain: scripts, programs, possibilities are justlimitless. THIS IS AWESOME!!!
I’d be glad to announce the peak of Project Mischief was a great success. Phase II is completed and Phase III is just the cool down period. I can’t believe I hit 30GB in one day. Total for this week was 110GB.
Welp, wish me luck guys, and I won’t be back till probably after finals. I mean this site won’t probably be updated till I return home for summer. ^_^x
Project Mischief is underway pretty good. Phase II was supposed to be completed with ease, however, I lost 24hrs. *sniff*. Time is precious when there’s a war going on. Hope I can make up for lost time.
Recently, I noticed I used the word ‘welp’ more often than I ever used. In fact, I never recalled using that word at ALL!!! I wonder what go me started. I always use: oh well, but I noticed I no longer used that now. I wonder if it’s because of my lazy butt and the welp saves me 3 keystrokes. ;p
I finally got evidence of mechy and his girls. This was all a coincidence. We all know mechy won’t show us the real thing when he knows we’re around. Sorta haveta bump into him to know the real truth. (was that a double positive? Is there such a thing???) Pic1 | Pic2 :: from what I recalled, at least one of the girls present in the pix was different from the girls I bumped into last week. I wonder what mechy is pointing for them. Either to his room (oooh la la!!!) or just giving them a tour (meaning it’s their first time here!!!). hehe -_^x
Thanks to great friends like panzer and mercurial, I finally got my hands on The Storm Riders! WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!!! Sigh, I miss those days with all the good Chinese kung fu movies. They all suck now. Too much computer, not enough action. If you haven’t seen this, this is SUPER RECOMMENDED. I’d show you some pix, but it’ll just spoil the movie for you. For those that want it and has an EDU connection, msg me.
Bleh, I’ll save the quotes for tomorrow in case I don’t have an interesting story for you guys. G’nite @ 7:22am.
