Crunchwrap – not portable!
Crunchwrap – not portable! You know how Taco Bell always runs those commercials about their Crunchwrap™ thing being all portable and “Good to go™”? Guess what – they lie like dogs! The crunchwrap is anything but portable. Today I popped … Continue reading
I’m not the only one who hates the “IT Crowd” show
It seems that I’m not the only one who hates the stupid British show IT Crowd. I have seriously no clue what people see in that pile of stinking garbage. It’s not funny, it’s not clever and most importantly it … Continue reading
Dawkins Slams Religiosity
I just watched a great documentary by Richard Dawkins titled Root of All Evil. I found it via boingboing, and it intrigued me. So I went searching for a download. Thanks to the wonderful world of of p2p I found … Continue reading
Creationist Pamphlet
Creationist Pamphlet, originally uploaded by maciakl. Someone gave this creationist pamphlet (click on the thumb to view) to my brother’s girlfriend on a bus. She found it funny so she kept it to show to my brother. He in turn … Continue reading
AJAX and me
As part of my job I do some development on web applications. Mostly LAMP and WIMP shit. I’m not a graphics designer though, and my Photoshop skills are limited. This is something that I plan to work at, but for … Continue reading
Is CIA Secretly Rewriting History?
It appears that in the last few years CIA was secretly reclassifying some historical documents that used to be public. In most cases these documents did not contain any sensitive information that could impact national security. However, some of these … Continue reading
Weekend Coding Sessions
I spent the whole Sunday locked in my little office, hacking away on the code for my thesis work. This was first time in weeks when I left school without feeling frustrated and stressed about this work. I finally made … Continue reading

Coding without an IDE is like eating soup with a fork
The more I use Eclipse, the more I learn to depend on it. I cannot imagine coding anything serious without Eclipse “compile as you type” error checking, one-click correction tools, automatic code generation tools and refactoring utilities. Vim is great … Continue reading
Myspace Customized Layouts Suck
I hate when people fuck up the standard layout of their Myspace profiles. That website obviously was not made for customization. If the creators wanted to allow this type of creativity, they would likely built in a customizable template structure … Continue reading
Everybody Loves President Cole
This is officially the best poster ever. Zewrestler said that this is a rare un-edited picture of president Cole. Usually they photoshop out the horns and the goatee :P Somehow this one must have leaked out without editing. I heard … Continue reading

CSAM is Down
The csam server has been down since yesterday. It appears that MSU had yet another power outage. This is why my picture on the sidebar is not showing up. It is served up by csam.montclair.edu which apparently went down. I … Continue reading
Battlestar Galactica: The Capitan’s Hand
How interesting. Roslin is forced to compromise her stance on abortion in order to secure support of the religious Gemini voters. This gives Baltar a chance to play the abortion card to his advantage and look like the good guy. … Continue reading
Neon Genesis Evangelion
When Neon Genesis Evangelion first came up on [adult-swim] I dismissed it as “yet another giant robot show”. I knew it had a cult status, and huge fan following. But I figured that people generally like these mecha themed shows. … Continue reading
Not Good With Computers
Anyone who says “I’m not good with computers” on a daily basis deserves to be larted into submission with a frozen porcupine! Please stop bragging about your lack of computer skills. It is not funny, or cute. Why are you … Continue reading
The Internet is for Porn
I just found out that the music in that old WOW video The Internet is for Porn was actually taken off the soundtrack to a broadway musical Avenue Q. If you never saw that vid (because you live under a … Continue reading
To get Hi-Def DVD you must buy OEM
It seems that the new Blu-Ray and HD-DVD media protected by the HDCP technology will only play in full resolution on computers offered by big PC manufacturers. You must buy one of their stock systems, or forget about watching High-Def … Continue reading

Dawn of War
My brother convinced me to play Dawn of War. I’m not a big fan of RTS games but I do love Warhammer 40k so I agreed to play a multiplayer skirmish. I haven’t tried playing missions yet, and I think … Continue reading
The Island
Scarlet Johanson is hot. I finally saw The Island. Essentially, my only reason for watching this was of course seeing Scarlett Johanson. Sigh… And to think we could have seen her boobies if Michael Bay was not gay. :P We … Continue reading
CS Dept should set up a Version Control Repository
Most computer science classes these days require you to work in groups these days. This means that at some point you will have agree on the interfaces, and merge the code. At MSU this is usually done by sending out … Continue reading
Cheating Rapidshare
If you have ever needed to download some very obscure stuff, you are probably familiar with sites such as rapidshare.de. These sites usually allow anyone to upload and instantly publish large files (50-100MB). Thus are perfect for sharing stuff such … Continue reading
IT Crowd is LAME
I have no clue what people see in IT Crowd. I saw the first episode when the news was first posted on digg and I hated it. Since digg does not allow linking to individual comments here is what I … Continue reading
