A New Beginning

I’m in love. With a girl. This girl.
More to come.

Erratic Sleep Patterns

It happens to me every semester. My sleep patterns get totally out of control. For the past two weeks, I’ve slept at nearly 5 or 6 AM and woken up at 7 AM, when I decide to go to classes, and 1 PM, when I decide to not go to classes. You can guess which [...]

So What Else Do I Do?

During the weekends, when I have some free time, I’ve been (besides studying and sleeping):
Developing my ISP - pluto.betanegative.com went active last week (since renamed to mars.coldray.com). We’re currently hosted at ThePlanet with a modest amount of disk space and plenty of transfer. Since I’ve been busy with classes, I’ve only been able to configure [...]

School is Tiring

Wow, I haven’t updated in a long time.
Following the advice of my chemical engineering advisor, I decided to only take four classes this semester:
Chemical Engineering 140 - Introduction to Chemical Process Analysis
Chemistry 112A - Organic Chemistry
CS 61B - Data Structures
Physics 7B - Thermodynamics, Electricity, and Magnetism
Although I’m taking one less class than I did in [...]

How Time Flies

So, I haven’t posted an update in a long time…
Taking two classes during the summer at Berkeley was much more work than I had expected. I have a CS 61A ‘quiz’ (read: midterm) every other week, and a CS 61A project due on the alternate weeks. Math 54 is much lighter in comparison, but I [...]

Love

NSLog(); asks:
Question: If you were forbidden from using the word “love” and its close synonyms (amour, “really like”, etc.) to describe that feeling, which word would you choose?
For once, I have no answer. Being involved in a relatively long-term relationship and having had a few close friendships, I find it hard to choose a single [...]

I’ve Lost My Wisdom (Teeth)!

Well, I’ve finally had my wisdom teeth removed. I know that I’m late in having them removed, but it’s better late than never, especially since they were beginning to put pressure on my lower teeth.
The procedure took just over 40 minutes, and I left the surgeon’s office feeling well. Although I’m currently limited to a [...]

How Linux Saved My Dad’s Data

An article posted to Linux Journal today reminded me of a recent incident where Linux saved the day. “How Linux Saved My Files and My Job” tells the story of a Windows user who used a Linux boot floppy to recover data from a damaged NTFS partition. My dad and I did the same thing [...]

Love?

According to a post on Craigslist’s Missed Connections, a guy has spent a third of his life following a girl around the world.
I don’t know whether to call this guy a helpless romantic or a total loser, but I have to admit that his dedication is impressive. I know some guys who have spent hours [...]

I’m Back

After a three-hour physics final and a six-hour car ride, I’m back in Southern California till June 19. Summer has officially begun!
Now that my finals are over, I’ll be moving this blog over to Wordpress. While I’d like to delay the transition until 1.2-final is released, in case there are any changes to the templates, [...]
