Access ISIS for NUS Computing students
For those trying to VPN to work, forget it, because you can just use SSH tunnels to do it. I say NUS Computing students because I believe we’re the only ones with an SSH account in the school. I could be wrong. :)
The instructions:
Just forward isis.nus.edu.sg:443 to a local port.
For example in the Terminal (on Mac OS X, for example):
ssh -L 8081:isis.nus.edu.sg:443...

I can’t seem to get enough control out of tumblr. I don’t like the fact that I can’t even type code properly without disabling the Rich Text editor…
Set Up VirtualBox with MAMP
Here’s how to get your MAMP websites to show in your VirtualBox for browser compatibility testing. I took a while to figure this out so I’m putting it up for others to see.
First, add the following line to the end of the http.conf file in the MAMP directory (usually /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/http.conf )
<VirtualHost _default_:*></VirtualHost>
Then, stop the server...

Had a weird dream of receiving a birthday party invitation from Sean. And visiting the dentist with Emily. (she was patient)
Weird.
Full of disappointment. All I can think of is how to torture myself. Since when have I deteriorated to this level. I can’t do anything right. I’m always neglecting my priorities. This isn’t me. What happened? Did something go wrong somewhere? Screwing up and then seeking comfort. Or screwing up then scolding myself. Are those the only things I can do?

Goods on Snow Leopard
Shall compile some list later. So far, the most welcome change is the fact that my Canon printer not only works on Snow Leopard, it works even better. Why is that? It’s because it finally shows the supply levels! Amazing stuff. And the new icon looks just like my printer! :)
Problems so far on Snow Leopard
Speed increases are great and all. But now’s the transition period so all the bad stuff gets poured out first.
Wacom Intuos 2 is forgetting my preferences. I’m not too sure when this happens. I think it happens every restart. (otherwise it works perfectly, besides the fact that System Preferences has to be restarted everytime I open it, which should be fixed soon when a 64-bit...

Shall be checking out these places. Went to Billiard Rosa today. Not too bad. :) Wonder if there are any other good places to go.
Symbian Still Sucks Reason 1
On an E75 To copy the address of a link on a webpage (for pasting in a note or sms or whatever): 1. Visit the link 2. Go to Options - Save as Bookmark 3. Go to Options - Bookmarks 4. Scroll to the bookmark of the link and have it selected. (or just press Up instead of scrolling) 5. Go to Options - Bookmark Manager - Edit 6. Select the Address field. 7. Finally use Ctrl-C or # key to Copy. 8....

@font-face woes
CSS3’s @font-face allows for many possibilities.. Websites can now use custom fonts for a more unique look and style.
Was tweaking with WEFT3 for the whole afternoon. I got it working but used ttf2eot instead, because I couldn’t get the different font styles to embed in WEFT.
Irritating problem. Now back to work.

Headaches
The headaches just won’t stop. I haven’t had a good sleep for the longest time and the quality of sleep for the past four days was far worse than before. On average I got up 5 times in the night. I wonder if I slept at all. For today and yesterday, I woke up (assuming I did sleep) way before alarm sounded. Stared at the digital clock and tried to catch some sleep.. Random thoughts...
Don’t even try to understand it. It’s not meant to be understood. Hah.
I’m still indulging. Totally bad. I need to achieve something badly. I’m going nowhere. Or at least I think I’m going nowhere. The mere thought of that swallows my mind.

Zoho Notebook. A big sigh. Precisely the reason why I’m using an online notebook system (why is Google Notebook dead :( ) It failed on me today. I clicked Delete Book instead of Delete Page accidentally, and a quick confirmation led me to disaster.
Ah well. Which leads me to think again about using Zoho Notebook at all. I’m actually looking for an online system that allows me to...
Double Precision
Looks like I’ve been plagued with problems with double precision.
Whenever receiving decimal input, even when it’s just up to two decimal places. Try the following values:
2.05
9.04
Somehow, they tend to round badly. So what I do in general is add 0.005 to the value before multiplying it with 100 and truncating it into an integer.
Like so: double a = 2.05;
int b = int (100 * (b...

Terminal shortcuts. Very useful.
Bash note. This does what I want it to do.
find . -name "*.java" -exec grep -q "TotalPrice" '{}' \; -print
Basically, it looks for files in the same directory with the name condition of *.java and looks for the regular expression “TotalPrice” in it. Yep. Cool.
Personal note. Check out snipt.net .

Time to try to sleep.
Listening to Last Train Home. Nice.
Need to fluff
It’s an important skill. Looks like we lost 2 marks for not being able to present our team’s algorithm clearly in the report. Need to allocate more time and effort to presentation and report-writing. I see this might become a problem in higher level modules.
I was made to think
I dream a lot. I think if there was any possible scenario, I would probably think of it. Sometimes my dreams are nonsensical. It amazes me, always… whatever I can think of.
If you save paper by not printing your notes/homework, but you spend more time staring at the computer screen which requires energy that actually creates a larger carbon footprint. (due to the energy you use that you need to recharge back to the battery at the end of the day)
What gives?
Need to get my head out of my ass.
Need to get out of this inefficiency expert mode.
