  1. Upgraded once more

    May 12, 2005 by Eddie Gonzalez

    Now I’m running 1.5.1.

    I got Adelphia Cable internet today, I’m not impressed, but it works… kind of. The main problem is how slow it is sometimes. Like if it had some strange QoS rule that makes http slower than anything else. There’s also the terrible ping times, my 56k had better ping times! (this is also sometimes.) In general it’s pretty un-reliable at least today. Big Jesus tells me that Adelphia is experiencing network problems, I hope so because I can’t play bzflag and that doesn’t make me happy. :-(

    I’m going to really really try to be productive without using my medication, hopefully my brain will get used to it. Currently my plans are to fix my lyrics plug-in for Quod Libet and work on Background Channels. I love the idea of Background Channels because I’m always looking for good background pictures and just leaving my background on a channel would free me from looking for good ones.

    I’m also going to have to find a job soon. My dad wants me to work for him probably pulling cables and stuff. Although it would be a good way to get exercise I really want a job where I can practice my Japanese. That’s nearly impossible here though.

  2. New Page

    April 15, 2005 by Eddie Gonzalez

    New Page
    Well it’s now 4am, it took me 4 hours to get it working. No assembly done tonight. I’m so good at procrastination, it hurts.

  3. Website overhaul

    April 15, 2005 by Eddie Gonzalez

    Since my website was attacked I’ve been working on security and making a real site instead of just a wiki. I looked into JSP and mod_python to see what crazyness I could come up with. JSP didn’t work very well since Debian stable only has Java2 1.1. Stable’s mod_python is pretty old so I can’t try PSP but I decided to try making my own simple version of it. Since most of the data will be static anyway, I don’t really need something as complicated as JSP/ASP/PHP/PSP. Although I do think I’ll try PHP eventually. Even though I should be working on my assembly project, I really want to finish getting the static pages part working tonight (and just treating < % and %> as comments). Hopefully it wont take me more than an hour, that way I can put a good hour or two into the assembly project before I go to sleep. The first page will just contain links to the blog and the planet. I really need to learn CSS and HTML, so my site can look cool.

  4. Back from Doug's house

    March 29, 2005 by Eddie Gonzalez

    I spent the weekend at Doug’s house working on our PalmOS project (A 2-player game that uses IrDA). Although we both got pretty far along, we still don’t have anything that’s playable yet.

    Doug started by writing on top of the example serial_chat.c program that the professor gave the class. I really hate writing in-side someone else’s code so I started from scratch. The advantage is that I feel more comfortable coding it since I feel more in control. Doug had lots of problems at first with communication, but he’s pretty much got it working now. I can’t stand coding like that, but Doug is far ahead of me with what he has working.

    For the communication I’m using a small event system to reduce the ammount of .h files that have to be included, and so that the communication c file doesn’t have to mess with the GUI at all and likewise the gui c files don’t have to mess with communication at all. Although it’s being a little bit of a headache right now I think it’ll be a nice and simple way of handling communication.

    I had a Easter dinner with Doug’s familly too, it was really good. It’s been a long time since I had real food. I even let go of my diet and had cheese cake. So for the next week I should really stick to 1,500 Calories or less. I realized today that I love talking about computers, software and Japanese. The more I learn the more interesting computers get. Maybe I would’ve been better off as a Computer Engineering major.

    With the help of Patrick planet WPLUG now has a new look. I hope everyone likes it.

  5. Finished my Study Aborad Applications!

    February 26, 2005 by Eddie Gonzalez

    Currently my Todo list is:
    – Do Eavesdropping JSL28
    – Do R/W #3
    – Do R/W #2
    – Turn in R/W #1
    – Do Logic proofs 110-210

    I finally got my applications done, now it’s time to catch up in Japanese and logic class.

    I also plan to catch up on my reading, after I finish “The Wind-up Bird Chornicle” I’ll start “Myst: The Book of Atrus” something I’ve been meaning to read since the summer. I’m taking too many classes. I haven’t read anything since August (other than Text books.)

    I also hear good things about the new WordPress 1.5, I might upgrade mine soon.

    On a side-note because of the health certificate I had to get for my Ritsumeikan application I now know that I weigh 175 pounds. At one time I was 210, so I’m really happy, but I don’t feel or look much lighter. I think I’ll aim for 150 instead of 165. I don’t think I even want to try getting lower than 150.
