busy girl thoughts

Friday night, home alone…

I’m so bored I whipped out my cell and started calling my old friends. I haven’t done that in a long long time. Now i spend most of my life in the cyberworld, and sometimes I feel like I’m losing the connection to the real world, that the cyber world is more tangible than the real one. I feel weightless, like a balloon let go by a child, quickly drifting away from the ground.

After talking to some of them, I feel grounded again. It feels good to be back.

I’ve decided to reorganize my blog. I’ve set up a couple of WordPress blogs on my own webpages. I’ll move most of the Geekie Stuff over and leave the girlie stuff here.

The reasons for the move -

1. I just want to play around with WordPress, and start writing plugins. This is my way of forcing myself to learn more about php and java scripting, and God knows what else.

2. I realize most of my readers are girls, and they are only interested in cosmetics. I’ll concentrate more on that side in this blog.

3. I swear I’ll figure out a way to export blogsome blogs!!! <— new year resolution #7

I’m planning to move my geekie stuff here like mentioned above. I’m considering merging some of my travel posts to the other travel blog, although I haven’t decided.

In the meantime, please pardon the occasional funky look of the blog. That means I’m trying to take things apart and reassemble them again.

Today I downloaded a command “class-dump“, but had no frig’n idea how to “install” it. What I did was I downloaded the file, expanded it and double clicked on the executable Terminal file, and a Terminal window popped up showing the usage of the command, and automatically logs out.

I tried executing the command in Terminal, and I got the error message “-bash: command not found”. I moved the directory to where ‘class-dump’ is located, and tried to execute there, and it failed for the same reason.

I googled “install shell command” “install unix command” and tons of other terms, but nobody included a dumbed-down, step-by-step instruction on how to do it.

So here’s how I finally did it-
go to Finder, menu bar “Go to Folder”,

and type in /usr/bin.

Here you’ll see all other commands. Then just copy and paste the file in here. It may tell you that you do not have permission to modify bin, and if that happens, click “authenticate”, and type in the administrator’s (my, in my case) password. Then go back to Terminal. You’ll be able to execute the command from any directory. It’s that simple.

The giant Pacific octopus was given the toy for Christmas and has even learned to dig out food hidden in a secret box at the back of it.
‘He’s fascinated by it,’ said Matt Slater, of the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay, Cornwall. ‘He attacks the net we use to fish the toy out every time we try to take it away.’

Came across this video today.  The bird can do pretty amazing stuff, such as a Chainsaw! Unbelievably cute.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m pretty sad to see Gates go.

I think most of us take Microsoft for granted, and under appreciate Bill Gates.  No matter how Bill got where he is today, and how shitty Vista is, we can’t deny that he made the greatest impact in the 20th century and continue to influence the 21st.

I still remember how young and lively he was when I was little, and seeing his agile figure it reminds me how fast time flies (and how old i am).  While saying goodbye to him, I’m also saying goodbye to my younger days, and a big chapter in my life.

I was browsing on a game forum and one thread is about, "What are some big things that will happen in 2008 for you?" Lots of people jumped in and it seems everyone has a list of exciting things to come.

I was shocked to realize that there is nothing for me.  No joy, excitement, nor despair.  Just void.

Do I have any goal this year? no. Resolution? no.

I don’t know where I lost my passions as youth along the way.   

2008 will be the year of nothingness.
