Fire

Hmm.. fiery.
Fire element
Your element is Fire. Like fire, you have a hot
temper and you can be warm and loving as well
and angry and wild. It all really comes down to
what you are feeling. You have a lot of close
friends who you are very protective over, and
with your temper probably some enemies too. You
are not Miss Popular in school since you are
your own person and don’t want to be forced
into behaving this or that way. You are the
untamed wild horse, the kind that everyone
wants to catch. But you don’t want to be tied
down for the moment and just keep going with
your little crushes. Your will is strong and if
you set your mind to do something, you will
most likely succeed. But beware, your friends
may not always accept your mood-swinging
behaviour. Even if you don’t mean to be mean,
they can still feel hurt. You just need to
start thinking some things through before you
do them, and not always jump in with so much
courage. One day you may be hurt because of
that, but then again, your element isn’t fire
if you start to analyse situations before you
act. After all, your nature is to shoot first
and ask the questions later. Rate and message!

Answering Machine

I’m doubting the effectiveness of my home answering machine, people chose to hang up rather than leaving message (yup, I choose not to pick up the phone most of the time), is it because the greeting too long (shorten it just now)?? I mean it already costs them money to make the call (yes, if the machine answers that means you’re connected already), why not as well leave a message? :>

Or should i just pick up the phone 😛

Messing around with Linux

Had a day off today as I was sneezing all day long yesterday, got better this morning tho, so I spent time reading my Java cert book, still up to Chapter 2, man it’s so complicated.. currently learning declaration and access control, i just realised that I know little about Java’s features, I mean honestly when would I ever use these keywords in my programs: transcient, strictfp, synchronized, native etc2.. I only knew some of them exist after reading this book. But I am happy, I will learn heaps from this certification for sure, it does clear up some things that I am always confused with, things like private, protected, default access, they don’t get proper treatment on Java programming books (or I just never introduced properly by my lecturers).
Spending half day trying to get a game going in my Linux box. The game is called ballsmacker, it’s just a pool game. Like usual, i had to go through the process finding files and packages necessary for the game. In the process, i managed to learn a thing or two about urpmi, I am forced to use it, as I couldn’t find my Mandrake disk 1 anywhere. Urpmi allows you to add ftp sites that have Mandrake files/rpms to your list, so that when you need to update/install a package, you can just type urpmi packagename and it will search for it and download it and install it on your system, pretty cool huh? I’ve heard about this similar concept that makes Debian “cool” among geeks, well good thing that other distros followed Debian’s footsteps in providing easy ways for updating.
Anyway I still haven’t finished finding what I am looking for.. 🙁 Why does it have to be so complicated in Linux?
