School Computer Hacked?!

I think the school got a trojan infected in their systems.
I just login, and then I started playing games, and then all the sudden, a "run" window pops up and somebody is trying to run the winlogin.exe! (obviously you know what that is) Then, the computer beside me is trying to run "cmd.exe" which is command prompt!~ No wonder the anti-virus keeps poping up every time you download something or install something... !!!

2 = 1 paradox

Try to find the error in this prove for "2 = 1"

let a and b be any integer
that a = b

a = b
a² = ab
a² - b² = ab - b²
(a - b)(a + b) = b(a - b)
a + b = b
b + b = b
2b = b
2 = 1


Hehehehehe... (!)
Answer can be found in the puzzle section.

&#$%? Flash Cookie!

The security policy is really really strict. Seriously, you can't even let 1 cookie visible to other people/account/website through security settings! Now this is quite a bit of problem because my 2.1mb linerider track is now sitting there as orphaned garbage - because the swf has moved a domain, nothing could be read.

Sleep over

Last night, after 11 o'clock, when most people went to sleep, some of the other grade 8 boarders sneaked into my room and we had a... um... I don't know what to say. At first , it was like 5 people on 2 beds, and 2 of them are playing PSP. Then some other people talked about their girlfriend. After, at around 1:00 in the morning, we pushed a few people onto the ground, and everybody sleeps. I went into sleep at around 1:30am and we woke up at 8am because my alarm clock accidentally rang. I don't even want anybody else to know about what we talked that night (as you know).

Alien Attack 2 Beta Release

After some time, I've completely rewritten the original Alien Attack game and it's now ready for the first beta. Nothing new has been added, except that enemy ships now shoot red bullets at random speeds. This might confuse some players, but it can help a lot especially in higher levels where the enemy ships shoot every 0.8 second. Variable speeds allow sometimes large gaps for player to shoot through what would normally be considered impossible.

Anyways, here is the link. Report back any bugs through the comments and if you have any suggestions for weapons, enemies, bosses, shield... etc, please post in the comments. If I see any good ideas, I would incorporate them in the next few betas.

Losing School Supplies

Just in the first few weeks of school, I lost 1 protractor, 1 30-cm ruler, 1 15-cm ruler, 3 pencils, 2 erasers, and 1 sharpee. This is just plain dumb. I wish people were more considerate of others and not stealing supplies. Seriously, it's not just by plain accident that the stuff disappears. My blazer also got stolen from my dorm weeks ago. I didn't wash it, and I only wear it on Tuesdays, and yet it disappeared on Thursday. I had to buy a new one for $100+.

Fish Poison

http://pn.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/7/5/316

It's weird. A poison called "ciguatoxin" from tropical fish can have a "reverse temperature" effect, meaning that cold things feel very hot and hot things will feel like icy. Also, it could cause you to have imaginary feelings about loosing teeth. There's been a few cases reported on this kind of rare poison.

The poison is produced by micro-organisms in tropical regions, and when fish eats them, the poison builds up for life. Also, the poison very often still remains on the fish long after it's been eaten.

Mail space

I'm not complaining or anything, but gmail used to be leading, and now it's um... falling backwards
Gmail just gradually increased to 3GB, but then other companies has just boosted their storage too.

Gmail - 3GB
Yahoo - unlimited
Hotmail - 5GB

What's gonna happen? I don't know.

I might consider switching if the situation does not improve soon.

Visual Basic 6

Wow, I actually found that in the senior school library computers.
However, Flash is only installed in certain computers in middle school.
Hmmm... but where is NetBeans? I thought Java/C++ is the language they teach for Computer Science? That's weird.

All 3rd floor rooms free off inspection!

Every single grade 8 rooms got A+ in the previous inspection, and so we are free this time and we get $20 for pizza!

Rice + Ketchup = ?

This morning, when all grade 8 boarders were eating breakfast, someone put lots of ketchup on his rice. It was so gross that everyone started moving away from him. Then that person started eating his "creation" and when he finished everybody was gone. Seriously, it was one of the worst combinations I've seen.

Now what? Coughing?

This is the worst cold I've had in 6 years. I've never been coughing when I have a cold during the past 4 years, and this time, I'm coughing really hard. (!!!)

I just hope it gets better (stupid cold!).
