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 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.
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:

for those that has watched Noir, you’ll know what a great soundtrack they have. apparently the new series .hack//SIGN is made by the same producers and is coming out with another incredible soundtrack. according to my sources (green), the soundtrack will be released on 07.24. grrrrr, no wonder i haven’t been able to find it’s music on the net. was only able to find 2 songs, the opening and ending. enjoy ^_^x
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.
although it hasn’t been confirmed yet, it’s very likely i’ll be going to japan, hong kong, and china @ the beginning of august with my cousin! it’s going to be my first time to japan, so i’m hoping an awesome adventure! ^_^x
btw, remember that sugar, spice, and everything nice + chemical X = The Powerpuff Girls – The Movie in theatres July 3rd! I think I know who’s definitely going to watch this. ^_^x
I’d like to take this chance to introduce to you my favorite song of the … uh.. day? week? month? whatever. hehe. here’s Avril Lavigne – Complicated
picture of the week has been updated, so enjoy!
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
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
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.
well friends, Picture of the Week is finally updated and i didn’t choose one of the beautiful ensenada pictures which i took many of. what i ended up with was something hilarious i noticed while shopping. i think you’ll enjoy it, especially my enemies!
announcement: i have been de-carred
dad didn’t like my style of driving and claim he needs to retrain me, so i’ll be w/o a car till i pass his standard. grrrr.
recently obtained Pink – Missundaztood album and some songs are there are actually really good and i really like it. if you haven’t heard the songs “Don’t Let Me Get Me”; “Just Like A Pill”; “Get This Party Started”, you’ve missed out. ^_^x
grandma’s back from hongkong! w00h00! went to pick her up @ the airport today.
comments for ensenada have been completed. enjoy ^_^x. for those that didn’t get a chance to d/l the movies, feel free to goto Old News -> June ’02 and it should listed on 06.24.2002.
i should be getting the Pic of the Week up very soon. hopefully by tomorrow. sorry for the lack of updates.
