San Diego Historic Gaslamp Quarter

Right next to the San Diego Convention Center where I came for Comic-
Con earlier this year. Bus currently picking up from Hilo Hattie, the
Store of Hawaii. Yet it is not in Hawaii, but right here in San Diego.

Free bus ride. Will see where it goes. Skipped breakfast today, so
plan to eat whenever I get back.

FBML 1.1 Released

Some changes here to make note of, explained in a post on their blog.

Saturday, May 05, 2007

on Traveling Abroad... alone?

David Weekly went to Buenos Aires and had a good time with steak, wine, and ice cream.

Also consider Italy.

Some resources
Some examples
  • Tunisia
  • Stay in a hostel
  • Jessica, Campus Minister, Merced
Steps to go

  1. Passport
  2. Flight
  3. Place to stay
  4. Go
Planning
  • lonelyplanet.com for the area first
  • Guidebooks for anywhere in the world - Amazon.com
  • Roatan - Honduras - Caribbean - SCUBA - $1100
  • Australians and New Zealanders on walkabout
  • aborigines
David Weekly's plan for a new university. I agree with him.

How to run Invision Plus

  • Take PayPal donations
  • Make it clear I'm thinking about taking this more seriously (full-time)
  • Premium offering
  • Want to say "Thank You"
  • Be more open with users
  • Explain that I'm wrestling with whether or not to quit school and go full-time on this
  • Get to know my users
  • Get them on the phone, email, IM
  • Email a few hundred of them
  • Forum admins all need to all know who am
  • Less important to connect with participants, but they can if they want (they might start their own forums soon)
  • Problem, opportunity, audience - get to know my users and then I'll know what skills to learn and people to bring in
  • Be clear on exactly what needs to be done on the site
  • People are very excited when they can be used - people want a place in the world where they can be helpful
  • So be clear about my needs
  • Someone can very specifically provide for those needs
  • We have ideas we'd like to implementI
  • I'd like to get to know you and what you're doing with the service

Possible hosting option
Fremont
8anet.com, 1/2-U
$1500, 6 GB RAM

coloserve.com
Intel Core 2 Duos

How to scale up
  • Since forums don't know other forums
  • Horizontally partition the db
  • 5 smaller servers instead of 1
  • Faster and less expensive
  • No forklift upgrade
  • A-L one db server, M-Z to another server
if statement
connectDb ($server)

To do this while forums are active
  • Put a forum into read-only mode
  • Users are able to deal with downtime/failure/problems as long as I clearly and timely communicate with them
  • Make sure they know what the outage/read-only time is for: to make the service faster and more scalable
  • ignore_user_abort()
  • memcached - storing cached queries
Finding cofounders and employees
  • Hacker / geek friends @ college
  • More technical and business friends
  • Forum admins may be technical
  • Recruited people from your userbase
  • Incentive - their forums are hosted on my service
Thanks, David Weekly of pbwiki.com.

I was really worried for a minute...

I discovered that Google Desktop Search does not index inside of files with no file extension, even if the contents of those files are plain text.

This gave me a huge scare just now, as I was frantically searching for my Startup School 2007 notes, and couldn't find them no matter what I searched for.

I used to think Google Desktop Search indexed my entire computer... not so.

The file had no file extension because Programmer's Notepad doesn't automatically add any extension to the file. So it ended up being extension-less.

This is something to keep in mind... I should go through and rename all files with missing extensions to append .txt to them.

on Studying Abroad

Today I talked with Fefe Gong at EVK. She's going to be doing a lot of interesting things in the next few months. First, she's doing a summer internship with BP in Cerritos, near Johnny. She's from Texas, but she'll be staying around the LA area. Perhaps we can meet up sometime during the summer. She's working on energy trading... and she doesn't know about it yet, so she'll be learning about it shortly before beginning work.

Then, for the Fall semester, she's studying abroad in Italy. It was her second choice-- after Spain-- but it should be a lot of fun.

I would like to travel abroad, too. If I take the fall semester off, I should have plenty of time to spend a few weeks overseas. But where should I go? Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa?
I really want to just take a vacation. Escape for a while, maybe to the places that grace my computer desktop. I have a wallpaper cycler that shuffles through this collection of scenic photographs I downloaded. They're really alluring. Most show pictures of the ocean, far away from the worries and pressures of life. I want to sit on the beach and just lie there and just let my mind wander.... maybe with a friend or something. That would be nice. But I can do no such thing.

Instead I have to do my physics homework, do research for my job, finish programming for BoingBoing.net, write a detailed letter to the financial aid office, apply for scholarships, do research for a lengthy paper, find an internship, do the mound of work my parents' restaurant has for me...and more....

It's a really beautiful day outside. I wish I could go outside. But I have to stay here, and watch over my brother, who is ill. My parents are away, working, stressing, working, trying to clamber back on track from an enormous setback...

I don't have a lot of energy these days. I feel like napping all the time, to pass the day, to take refuge in my dreams. I wake up, and I'm always tired. My bones ache weary, and I don't feel like moving.

When I need to motivate myself to work, I feel a muted franticness surging through my mind. Muted, because sensation and feeling are dulled. But it's the feeling that if I don't keep on going I'll die. So I drag myself to do the work.

I can't restore database

Quoted from an Invision Power Board.
Two days ago, I bought a new shared hosting 20GB space. After I have tried to restore my database but I didnt work because the file is so big over 150MB. I have tried my time but it is still stucked. I used phpMyAdmin but I still got trouble with overtime.

So anyone can tell me the way I can restore a big file to my SQL.

Thank you so much,

Tony Tran

====

Is it possible to cut it up? I don't know anything, but that could be a solution.

====

I've posted a similar post like this.. Don't remeber where..

Look in the General talk for a topic about Mysql.. They have a tool for it somewhere in the help files located online @ the main page ( if I'm right )

====

Thank you for quickly reply. I read your two instructions but I am confused with MySQL Document

To install the script:

1) If you wish to password protect the script (recommended)
edit the line $password = ''; at the top of the file
mysql_tool.php putting the password between the quotes.

2) Upload the contents of the extracted zip file
( mysql_tool.php and tile_back.gif ) to your web host.

3) Ch-mod the folder you have uploaded the tool to writable (666)
using your FTP client

-> What is the folder I should edit CHMOD and create? And where I put it in?

Thank you so much,

Tony Tran

According to a recent Gartner report, low-end Linux server shipments grew significantly in the first quarter of 2004. Part of this may be due to the comeback of the relational database market in 2003, where Linux growth was especially strong, while Windows growth was weaker. There is mixed news for Sun, who saw growing shipments but declining revenues in Q1 of 2004.

For U.S. Hostage, the Timing Was Everything

By Sewell Chan
Washington Post Foreign Service
Tuesday, May 4, 2004; Page A20

BAGHDAD, May 3 -- Stumbling across a field, a disheveled man approached a U.S. Army patrol Sunday, shouting and waving a white T-shirt as if to surrender. For a moment, the soldiers thought he was a local farmer, before his speech and face identified him as Thomas Hamill, a Mississippi dairyman who had been held hostage in Iraq for more than three weeks.


On Monday, three soldiers from the unit that helped Hamill to safety described his rescue. Hamill, meanwhile, was flown to a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, for evaluation before returning home to Macon, Miss.

Hamill, employed as a truck driver by the U.S. contracting firm Kellogg Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton Co., was kidnapped April 9 during an attack on an Army fuel-truck convoy. Dozens of masked men armed with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers ambushed the convoy along a highway near the Abu Ghraib prison, west of Baghdad.

One U.S. soldier and an Iraqi driver were killed instantly. Four American Kellogg Brown & Root employees and an Army sergeant were later found dead; two other company employees and an Army reservist, Pfc. Keith M. Maupin, 20, of Batavia, Ohio, remain missing.

Videotape shot by an Australian news crew that happened to be on the highway that day, filming the burning wreckage of the convoy, showed Hamill sitting in the back of a gray sedan between hooded gunmen. He gave his name before he was driven away.

Hamill was not seen again until about 10:30 a.m. Sunday when, unkempt and wearing an open sleeveless vest, he approached a group of soldiers on a routine patrol, looking for a break in an oil pipeline in a remote area near Balad, about 40 miles north of Baghdad.

The soldiers, from Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment, said they were puzzled when Hamill ran toward them from a windowless stone shack about 300 yards away.

"At first, at a distance, we thought he was an Iraqi farmer who was coming up to the trucks," said Lt. Joseph Merrill, 28. "As he got closer, we heard that he was speaking English. And the first man who walked up to him realized immediately that it was Mr. Hamill."

Hamill apparently had no idea where he was or what day it was. "He was obviously very glad to see us," Merrill said. "And once we found out -- we recognized -- who he was, we knew we had gotten somebody good."

Hamill had a gunshot wound in his right forearm but no other visible injuries, said Col. Randall Dragon, commander of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Infantry Division, a New York Army National Guard unit based in Gloversville.

The soldiers of Charlie Company put Hamill in a Humvee, gave him water and offered him food, which he declined.

Soon afterward, they accompanied Hamill back to the shack where he had been held. They surrounded the house and found only a bed and some water and food inside.

The soldiers found an AK-47 assault rifle in a grassy area outside the shack and detained two Iraqi men walking nearby, but a military spokesman said the men may not have been involved in Hamill's abduction. The soldiers said they believed that one of Hamill's captors fled, leaving the weapon, after seeing that Hamill had escaped and made contact with the soldiers.

At noon, the patrol called for a medical evacuation, and a helicopter took Hamill to a military medical facility north of Tikrit.

"When he got on that bird to leave, I had tears in my eyes," said Sgt. 1st Class Mark Forbes, 43.

"Due to the efforts of these great soldiers here, an American will return home to his family. Freedom is priceless," Dragon said during a brief news conference in Baghdad, noting that the soldiers' unit was mobilized eight months ago. He praised the contributions of National Guardsmen and reservists who make up more than one-third of the 130,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.

It was not clear how Hamill was taken dozens of miles from Abu Ghraib to the shack near Samarra. Before leaving for Germany, he declined requests for an interview.

The soldiers did say that they asked Hamill why he had not escaped earlier.

Forbes said Hamill told them he " 'could have escaped a bunch of times, but where am I going to go? One bottle of water, where am I going?' No map, nothing. He stayed there and hoped that somebody would come by. That was his plan."

Case Against Iraq

Bush said Hussein has broken every pledge he made to the United Nations since Iraq was defeated after invading Kuwait in 1990.

"Saddam Hussein has defied the United Nations 16 times -- not once, not twice, 16 times he has defied the U.N.," Bush said. "The U.N. has told him after the Gulf War, what to do, what the world expected and 16 times he's defied it."

"people are smarted than that"
Tom R.
It's a reflection of witty minimalism, a pugnacious discontinuity, if you will, that stresses transition and diminishes totality. It's a synergistic interaction that is, possibly, a conscious separation of geometrical perimeters, but more likely a resonant reverberation of a compressed, almost Byzantine, inventiveness.

A man is giving a speech at his lodge meeting. He

Finally, he realizes what he is doing and says;

There is a new virus going around called WORK. If
you receive any sort of WORK, whether via e-mail,
Internet, or simply handed to you by a colleague,
do not open it. Those who have opened WORK have
found that their social life is deleted and their
brain ceases to function properly.

If you do encounter WORK via e-mail or are faced
with any WORK at all, purge the virus by sending
an e-mail to your boss with the words 'This is too
much for me, I'm going out for a soda. This better
not be here when I get back.'

Your brain should automatically delete the WORK. If
you receive WORK in paper document form, simply lift
the document and drag the WORK to your trashcan.

Send this message to all your friends in your address
book. If you do not have anyone in your address book,
then the WORK virus has already corrupted your life!

A Coke Please

I've always ordered beverages one simple way: "A Coke,
please."

Lately, though, this hasn't seemed to work. Waitresses
now often respond, "I'm sorry, we don't have Coke. We
have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb."

Tired of listening to the long list of soft drinks, I
thought I'd make life easier. So one day I simply asked
the snack bar clerk at a movie theater for a "dark,
carbonated beverage."

The young man behind the counter chuckled and asked,
"Sir, would you like a cylindrical plastic sucking
device with that?"

morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small

Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found
that someone had taped a note to the sign that said.

Favorite books

G.K. Chesterton and several other literary figures were
once asked what book they would prefer to have with them
if they were stranded on a desert island.

"The complete works of Shakespeare," said one writer
without hesitation.

"I choose the Bible," said another.

"How about you?" they asked Chesterton.

"I would choose Thomas' Guide to Practical Shipbuilding,"
replied Chesterton.

The Truth About Nutrition
Here is the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than do the British or Americans.

The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
How does a spoiled rich girl change a light bulb?
She says, "Daddy, I want a new apartment."

What do prisoners use to call each other?

What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work?

Why do gorillas have big nostrils?
Because they have big fingers.

True Stories
When I remarked that this Friday is the longest day of the year, our receptionist looked puzzled and asked, "You mean it's longer than 24 hours?"


One of my Dad's retired friends spends nine months a year in Wisconsin and goes to Florida for the winter. One year, while he was in Florida, he got a call from the police. His neighbor in Wisconsin, who had a key, had entered his home to check that everything was okay with the house. The house was a shambles and he called the police to report a burglary. The police officer reported: "The house appears to have been ransacked."

My Dad's friend immediately bought a plane ticket and flew 1000 miles home to discover that the house looked exactly the way it always looks.

A Horse With No Name
Written by Dewey Bunnell, ©1971

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Listen to it...

A woman brought an old picture of her dead husband,
wearing a hat, to the photographer.

She asked the photographer if he could remove the
hat from the picture.

He convinced her he could easily do that, and asked
her what side of his head he parted his hair on.

"I forget," she said. "But you can see that for yourself
when you take off his hat."

Late one night during bad weather, the following was heard over the radio at an airport control tower:
Helicopter Pilot: "Tower, I'm holding at 3000 feet over Heli-pad 1."
Second voice: "OH NO! I'm holding at 3000 over that pad!!"

Helicopter Pilot: "You idiot! You're my co-pilot!"
A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest
town he planned to visit on his vacation. He wrote:

Dear Hotel,

I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He
is well groomed and very well behaved. Would you be
willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me
at night?

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who
said, "I've been operating this hotel for many years.
In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels,
bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls.
I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the
night for being drunk and disorderly. And I've never
had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your
dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will
vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too.
