Today wasn't too bad. After getting up extra early this morning, and getting a ride to Brentwood with my father to catch the bus from there (He was going away on business), I grabbed a 123 New West bus and caught the skytrain from there. I had to wonder around the mall for about 20 minutes before Michelle, the TechBC security gaurd arrived to turn off the security system.

Aside from my earlier post about Java class, I also had my Process Elements class, in which my essay was used anonymously by the teacher for an example essay with only a few little things wrong with it in the formatting. I will just need to fix them myself before I can submit the paper.

Before my math class, I spent a little more time working on my winamp song display system, but I've still got that one bug left. I was also helping Gordon with fixing up an SGI 320 Workstation, dual P3 550mhz/512mb RAM etc. But it a very custom system, so running Linux on it is going to be difficult.

I went to my math class but left early because it was starting to snow again, and I do not want to have have difficulty travelling home. I stopped at a jewellers at Metrotown to get my watch battery replaced then grabbed the 130 bus to Hastings. On that bus, I ran into both Jon Kwan and Matt Pierce. Just as a freaky co-incidence. Then waiting for the 136, I ran into somebody who is in grade 11 this year at North and I knew from being there. I get on the bus, and there my brother is coming home from his work. He also claims to have seen Yvonne when he was going to work.

I've just spent the entire Java class programming the winamp song display. It is going ok, apart from a really weird PHP bug I'm experiencing. I have a physical class that I need to attend next, that doesn't have computers for me to carry on working on this :-(

Anyway, I am making definate progress with it, it spits out XML data 8-).

Yay! I'm writing my own song display thing for my webpage. I'm using TrackMonkey to send out the data to my server, and then it will be displayed on a webpage. I have the data going into a MySQL database so far. The rest of it I will write tommorow morning.

This song has a really nice ambience to it with the humming in the background.

In terms of programming there are a whole lot of things that have been simmering in my mind for a while now:

  1. A gift wishlist system - because whenever somebody's birthday comes up, they keep saying I don't know what I want, and they have mentioned things many months before only.
  2. A webcam system, primarily to control viewing of the webcams during certain hours or certain events [That's you Yvonne... ;-) ]. It would by default display all the public images to people who are not logged in, and when the cameras are in public mode. If a camera is in 'private' mode, which is either on a timed basis or set by the owner, it can only be viewed by people who are logged in to it and have permission.
  3. Something is display information about the song current loaded in my WinAMP on my webpage.

I've just taken out the trash and recycling. This morning, I got up around 8.30am, had a shower, and took Marissa with her computer back up to SFU, since the weather was a lot more reasonable today. I hung around SFU for a bit while she had a tutorial, and put up a whole batch of TechBC flyers on the billboards :-). Then I came back down the mountain on a 135 to Holdom. As I stood waiting for the 136, I built a snow baby on the bus bench :-).

When walking through lots of slush and slippery stuff, treading in the soft powder is the best way to keep your footing.

I'm reinstalling Windows 98 on my mother's computer now (My old computer), but windows update is really slow :-(.

You answered all questions in a gay way. You must be gay. If not, you are extremely okay with gay people.

I am more of the latter. Not gay myself, but extremely okay with people that are.

You are a very sensitive person and you try hard - (perhaps a little too hard) - to make favourable impressions and to be recognised by your peers... But you have that inherent need to feel appreciated and admired. You are easily hurt if all of your endeavours go by unappreciated or not acknowledged. stop trying so hard.

You like the better things in life. You are sensuous and emotional. You are a follower of the Arts ... and you seek an environment that will give you the fulfilment to the senses that you need.

You are feeling under considerable pressure and you are being forced to make concessions. You are not particularly happy with this state of affairs but you feel that you have no alternative. If you were to force issues you would be left out or completely ignored by one and all ...

Having experienced considerable disappointment of late and not knowing quite what to do about it this has led you to suffer a great deal of agitation and anxiety.You are trying very hard to make favourable impressions all round. You feel that you have a right to do anything that you wish without being condemned for your beliefs. Everything seems to be going against you and you feel helpless to change the situation. The possibility of failure is most upsetting and this situation is leading to untold stress ... You honestly believe that the situation is not of your making - it is not your fault. You have been misled and abused by those that you trusted. But you are trying to look at the situation quite dispassionately. Would you perhaps not agree that this situation could be regarded as unrealistic self justification?.

Overwork ... be it mental stress ... or physical strain, you are completely worn out and this depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation. You feel disappointed with your obvious lack of energy and powerless to do anything about it.You are angry with yourself and this frustration shows. You are contradictory and argumentative and feel helpless to change the situation at this time. Take a break ... even if it is only for a few days ... allow yourself to breath ... to unwind ... You'll feel much better for it... Then trust and let go.

Whoever thought of the phrase "beauty and brains" probably had you in mind. Not only are you graceful physically, but you're logical and ever-contemplative. People tend to underestimate you because you're such a quiet person, but that's to your advantage. You always prefer to observe before making a move.

Yay! Snow! Marissa brought her computer here around 6pm last evening, for me to fix it, but later in the evening, it was snowing so hard, that my mother said she was going to stay the night. While I was working on her computer till about 4am, she and I were watching AMV's together ;-).

We had thought that she could go back up to SFU around 10am this morning, but there was way too much snow and the SFU current conditions page said "BC Transit is not running".

Now we are both using our respective computers and doing homework. I have my essays due this evening, and she has an essay due on Thursday.

I had a good sleep again today. I went to bed at 5am, and woke up at 2pm 8-)

I copied some karoke VCD's for Yvonne's mother yesterday, and I got some nice chocolates for my troubles today :-).

*mmmm chocolate*
. Thanks!

I shovelled snow outside a short while ago, about 6cm of it on the ground down here. There is probably a lot more up at SFU, so I might see about going up there tommorow.
