Ack. Pagerank back to 3. Yep. I’ve been lazy.

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

And I shall just get more lazy as university comes back around the corner as of tomorrow.

Bah.

Still have to pack everything up, and scan my textbooks!
And do my homework.
And set up the notetaking files.
And write up a study plan.
And try to follow it.
And do my copious pile of readings.
And blah blah blah.

Oh.. and download Final Fantasy IV which shall taunt me with its gaming goodness. Perhaps, for this reason alone, it is good that I am very near being capped [but hope without hope that it'll last through to at least Tuesday -- which it won't; buut on the plus side, there's the university internet to leech off. Mm. 2 hours of downloading. Even if it's slow.]

Ah procrastination.
I’m glad C-F is back and all but it really needs a new theme and I don’t know how V3 is going haha.

And I said to myself I’d get my hw done by 12.30. :x gets back to it and stops drawing

And hello citizens of the world, because DS.net is back and kickin’!

So there was a tad bit of downtime with the server across the past few days but it’s all good and over, and everything is back again. =) There might be a few problems here and there for reasons I am not quite sure, but send me a message and I’ll deal with it.

So I was spending a few days of the week that has gone by – has it only been a week? Wow. Troubleshooting my computer. Came across the worst problem ever when installing the whole Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium over my previous Adobe Creative Suite 2 and my ever awesome, FAST-loading Adobe Acrobat 7. It’s rather amusing how acrobat 6 was a real slow bugger [on my old computer at any rate] and acrobat 8 just had the worst symbol/character recognition but acrobat 7 was made of pure win. Kind of like Windows XP compared to Windows Vista. =P pointed cough

So the problem I encountered? My Firefox adobe acrobat plugin to get it to load corrupted itself and I deleted it. II vaguely remembered solving it once with a really easy solution [and then forgetting it - perhaps I mentioned it in this blog, but it was down so how possibly could I look it up? =( However, it is rather cool that my blog is practically 5 years old now and I can look up quite a lot of stuff I guess]


Sooo:
Fix: How to solve the problem of the situation where you erase .pdf associations in firefox
So when Adobe reader 8 installs and adobe acrobat 7 just doesn’t work anymore and you idiotically remove association with the plugin,
all it takes to fix it is making the .pdf automatically open in something [important step to get .pdf to appear in that manage filetypes area!] then go to tools > options > manage file types and change it there!

… can’t believe I spent a whole day figuring that out again. I knew I solved it before. :/
Of course the problem was trying to get .pdf to show up as a filetype and I really didn’t want to automate if if I couldn’t change it after.

Also, be sure to change things AFTER you uninstall acrobat reader 8 or whatever and repair acrobat pro 7 =P
Of course, if firefox 3 didn’t like crashing on me, I would be using it at the moment and wouldn’t have to deal with firefox 2 in the first place. Perhaps then there wouldn’t have been such an issue in dealing with filetypes because there would be an add filetype button! =P

Because looking at my marks is depressing…

Friday, July 18th, 2008

My marks look a tad depressing so instead, here’s a picture of the two medals I won.
medal

Now I shall just pic-spam all those pictures to that SIFE thing that have been neglected.

Giant 10kg chocolate.
chocolate It’s a question whether or not we won it though, isn’t it? Although considering I’m sick at the moment and it would count as excess baggage, I’m pretty glad we didn’t although it looks so gooooood.

t-shirts Awesome T-shirts which won =P Team effort yay!

desserts cake Such yummy food. If I’m sick for any particular reason [other than the fact that I had junk food for quite a lot of meals where we missed the times], it may be attributed to several helpings of chocolate mousse. That said, dinner was always much nicer than lunch for some reason. Maybe the fact that there was dessert? =P

I’d picspam pictures of wandering around Brisbane because of them are cool but I didn’t upload many so I just can’t be bothered since I am about 400mb past my daily limit so any more uploading means I will have to face slow internet for greater periods of time come the start of uni. . . . which is within less than 2 weeks i.e. 9 days =O

Well, back to trauma center 2. Apparently, FF4, the english version comes out on July 22. However, as I’ll be at an aquarium then, eh.
