WarCraft III Addiction

before you ask me why i didn’t have an update for yesterday, i have a valid reason: WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos. Just started playing the game yesterday and it’s very addictive. Although 3D Graphix aren’t as good as those new 3D games out there, the strategy and AI has definitely improved since Star Craft.

Had a really fun day today with my frined ungsunghero. Went to Red Lobster for lunch and then SHOPPING!!! Of course not for clothing, but TOYS!!! hehe. ^_^x Went to Best Buy, Circuit City, Staples, and Fry’s. We both got our Price Match with Staples. Bought 100 CD-Rs for -$10.00. Yes that’s right, the negative sign is there. After $30 MIR (mail-in rebate), we make $10 for buying those CD-Rs. nice huh?

welp, i’m not the type to brag, but i just wanted to show u guys this: eBay #1366819120. Couldn’t believe i got $312 for it! Only costed me ~$300 to get the reward and that came with 3 Round Trips from OAK to LAX. Guess you could say they gave me free trips or even said they paid me to fly. hehe. ^_^x

that’s all for tonite. ^_^x

Different Metals = Different Reduction Potentials

uh oh! something has happened to animebon’s blue bug! was @ best buy today, and while opening the window, we heard a *crack* sound like the window was grinding against sand or a rock. the window no longer went up nor down. hopefully the blue bug will be better tomorrow after it makes it visit to the doctor, i mean dealer. hehe. ^_^x

picture of the week has been updated. enjoy ^_^x

Krunk4Ever (12:39:51 AM): now i remember
Krunk4Ever (12:40:11 AM): remember how u said my nerves in my teeth send out electrical systems
ungsunghero (12:40:19 AM): yeah
Krunk4Ever (12:40:25 AM): thats why when i stuck a paperclip to my tooth/cavity filling
Krunk4Ever (12:40:27 AM): to my tongue
Krunk4Ever (12:40:33 AM): i’d get that funny sensation
Krunk4Ever (12:40:45 AM): but weird thing is if my tongue touces the cavity filling
Krunk4Ever (12:40:47 AM): there is nothing
Krunk4Ever (12:40:55 AM): must have that paperclip in between for it to feel
ungsunghero (12:41:14 AM): b/c the paperclip and the filling are different metals
ungsunghero (12:41:23 AM): different metals = different reduction potentials
ungsunghero (12:41:27 AM): (AHHHH!!!!!!)
Krunk4Ever (12:41:54 AM): so you’re saying when my tongue is touching my teeth
Krunk4Ever (12:41:57 AM): the current is there
ungsunghero (12:42:01 AM): no
ungsunghero (12:42:05 AM): there is no current
ungsunghero (12:42:18 AM): the bridge is your tongue
Krunk4Ever (12:42:18 AM): why does the curretn complete with the paperclip then?
ungsunghero (12:42:28 AM): the current will go from your filling to your filling
Krunk4Ever (12:42:42 AM): oh
ungsunghero (12:42:43 AM): electrons have no reason to travel from your filling to your filling
Krunk4Ever (12:42:52 AM): i c
Krunk4Ever (12:42:53 AM): gotcha
Krunk4Ever (12:42:55 AM): thanks ^_^x
ungsunghero (12:42:56 AM): but, with the paperclip there, the electrons will travel from one to the other
ungsunghero (12:43:07 AM): YOU OWE ME LUNCH FOR MAKING ME BRING BACK THESE HORRIBLE FACTS
Krunk4Ever (12:43:12 AM): sure thing!
Krunk4Ever (12:43:26 AM): 2 lunches and 1 dinner?

New Computer

wow, it’s been a whole week since i’ve updated my site. sorry about that folks. cyberwings is a process of moving to a new server and I was too lazy to update the dns name servers to have it forward to my OCF account.

well, a lot has happened this week, too much even for me to remember. hehe.

I’ll start off with my new computer. Not totally new, but new motherboard and hd:

The reason for this upgrade was because i was experiencing frequent freezes/crashes on my system. And NO, I was not using Win9x. In fact I was using WinXP which has ALWAYS been stable till I installed a raid controller card and even a COMPLETE format didnt fix it. And YES, the RAID controller has already been removed. hehe, i think i’m beginning to sound like a certain someone i’ve very familiar with.

Here’s a picture of my old mb + cpu fan. (notice the excess thermal paste i used. i was uneducated about thermal paste back then. always thought the more the better. hehe)

Welp, i sorta ran into a roadblock during this upgrade. Realized I didn’t have DDR-RAM and the new motherboard only supported DDR in contrast with my old ECS motherboard which still had SD-RAM compatibility. Guess more RAM for my server @ home. hehe. Oh well, i was forced (yes, my computer is my life and i feel as i’m dead with it not on) to pay summer ram prices ($49 shipped for Crucial Technology 256MB PC2100 DDR-RAM). Best Buy just had a sale this weekend which I got in on (PNY 256MB PC2100 DDR-RAM for $50 – $20MIR)

here’s some pictures during the upgrade:
pic1 | pic2 | pic3 | pic4 | pic5 | pic6

next thing i’d like to talk about is networks. u know, how ethernet cables have 8 wires. well 4 of them are useless. I found that out from animebons who i was helping creating some network jacks for the company i work @.

There’s only 4 wires that are being used, 2 for transmitting (wire 1&2), 2 for receiving (wire 3&6). So inside a hub, switch, or a jack, only 4 wires are being used. So I saw how 1 jack miracuously became 2! by using wire 4,5,7,8 and converting them to wire 1,2,3,6, we were able to run 2 network jacks to the server which used to be one before. The link below shows you exactly what i’m talking about.

Linksys’ FAQ

last but not least, some couple updates within the site. as i noted in my dreambook, dreambooks are now part of my site through the magic of php. nifty trick eh?

i also learnt how to use javascript to pop up those windows for pictures. enjoy ^_^x.

My 4th of July

I would like to take this time to introduce you to animebon’s site. although not complete yet, the backbone and structure has been finished and today july 4th is his debut day. besides that he’s an awesomely cool cuz and his website’s design is great, he’s featuring a comic strip da Hobo. This week’s edition includes your favorite character: ME! Go check it out. What’s so great about the comic strip is that it’s so true! me <– pyromaniac

I hope you enjoyed Independence Day. Mine was a Blast! Spent it with my family and relatives. My uncle bought “The Big One” (~$200) and we burnt it all in City of Industry. Stupid Arcadia banned fireworks. Besides fireworks, my uncle also brought along a bunch of chinese fire crackers! Those things are freaken loud! Plus they burn fast too. No 7 second run away time. Light it, starts popping a second later. Reminded me of Armaggedon where that smart guy says: If the firecracker blows on the surface of my hand, i may get a minor burnt. But if I close my hand and set the firecracker off, looks like i’ll need someone to feed me for the remainder of my life.

remember how jokes/riddles were so cool when you were in elementary school. well they still are, but we no longer laugh at nonsense jokes anymore and sometimes even question why we laughed @ them before. those knock knock jokes and etc. welp, tonight during dinner, my little cuzins came up to me and started bombarding me with jokes. sorta like how they determine who’s the coolest by telling the most jokes. i always have problems retaining jokes in my head, so i won’t be posting them here tonite. telling a joke in the wrong way ruins it so much. but their line of jokes ranged from apples on a tree; mexican, chinese, and french; farts and grenade (they found this especially funny); and many more. They also had some ‘hotdog’ *cough* jokes if you catch my drift. The youngest boy (age ~7) even knew about it. Bad influences from his other sisters I guess.

welp, as the announcement says, krunk4ever.com will be temporarily hosted on my ocf-berkeley account. cyberwings my host/server has encountered some problems during upgrades/migration and speeds will resume back to normal no later than friday.

WarCraft III is OUT!

Happy 4thof July!!!

guess what was released today? WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos! The long awaited game has been released, although the warez version has been floating online for quite some time. when i went to fry’s on tuesday, the trailer for it was totally awesome, so i went and downloaded it. Here’s the link. it’s 28.7megs so for some it might take some time.

the following info has been stolen from slicktran:

oh yeah, almost forgot to tell ya, my site may be up and down or even extremely slow for the next few days. cyberwings (my host) is moving their servers to a different office in a different state. so bare with it for awhile.

Vacation is 1/3 Over

wow! one month’s past since I got outta school! that means 1/3 of vacation is over! OH NO! how does time pass by so fast that there’s no way we can enjoy it. When I stay home and relaxed, I HAD too little to do and was constantly bored. Now that I’m working, I have LITTLE time to do anything. I’ve so behind on anime, i’m missing out a lot!

last month’s visits reached a average record of 653 visits. pretty decent. i’m pretty sure that myself makes up a large percentage of those visits, having to update the website at least once per day = 30 visits alone. hehe.

guess whose bday it is tomorrow!!!
~HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADRIENNE~

prepare for picture of the week. planning its debut for tomorrow. ^_^x

CyberWings

due to the recent cheap webhosting provided by CyberWings, my cousin and I decided that we should take advantage of it and serve anime! my original account krunk4ever.com only costs me $3.95/yr. Here’s what I have:

view report | 550MB of webspace & 30GB of traffic. I’m nowhere near these numbers as you can see in the report. With 550MB, I can probably host 2 anime episodes, each about 200mb. I also bought 2 more accounts (it was buy 1 get 1 free, each with 330MB w/ 18GB of traffic) for only $8/yr together. Now i just need to decide on 2 more domain names so I can activate my accounts. nice eh? That’s why I NEED YOUR HELP (yes I mean YOU!) to help me decide on some good domain names!

today while playing with my admin settings, i happen to learn what the web user fucnction was. it’s very similar to your college web account or yahoo/angelfires where I can create user accounts with the following URL: http://www.krunk4ever.com/~youraliashere. It comes with FTP support and just shares my space/traffic which there’s no way I can really finish. ^_^x

Links have been updated with more friends’ sites.
