It would be good to get out of the wheel for a while. Just for a while. I’m a bit tired.

Crazy

I’m going crazy, seriously. I think i’m reading too much Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse Five is on the go now), but i don’t care. It’s so funny to get fed up with all this going on around me. I feel the weaknesses, i feel all the limitations of the world, and i hate it. I simply couldn’t break free, because i’m limited too, and as a limitation, i hate that too. Pure logic, kind of the same i learnt today on maths. Sometimes i feel that typical crazy grin crawl on my face. I fear that once someone sees that look on me he’ll be scared for a life (joking). Oh and i’m writing a schizophrenic novel about the rain. You’ll see. I’m planning that to be the first in my book. Hah, i’m really crazy, planning a book, and even more crazy, having dreams. I will live those.

Fibonacci

Challange: write the shortest code to display the Fibonacci numbers up to 5000.

I’ve made a code that displays them, though the pairs (1-1, 2-3, 5-8) are all backwards (1-1, 3-2, 8-5). I don’t know how to solve it (it’s 55 byte by the way).

In the past days i had three things change around me. This is very much unusual for me, as i hardly ever change anything, not to mention such stuff.

First, i changed my firewall to the Comodo one you suggested. A lot of thanks go out for that.

Then just a day after, i had to change my instant messenger too, as Trillian didn’t want to launch. I tried the Miranda-pack Maerlyn suggested, but it was a bit too complicated for me, though it did look good and it could display what i was listening to in Winamp, i rather use Pidgin now. This one could import my previous chats through Trillian, which is really convenient, and is a bit simpler too.

And on friday, or on saturday, the screen of my cell gave up too. So today my mom caught me and we went to get me a new phone. So, after at least four days, my SonyEricsson T230 was replaced by a Nokia 2626. Nice, but i still have to get used to it.

This is about as far as the change goes…

IM

Just a few days after my firewall gave up, Trillian also decided not to launch. Ideas are welcome on what to use instead. It should be just a multi-protocol im client, simple and user-friendly, as i’m not really planning to spend hours customizing it and downloading every single bit of it one by one (referring to Miranda IM). I’d really appreciate any suggestions.

… i feel. You remember that moment in the anime, when Kyon says or thinks something like “you may not realise it, but the world is revolving around you”. Haruhi couldn’t realise it, but i have an other problem: can’t really form sane sentences about what’s going on with me nowadays. So…

Annoying

I’ve been trying to do a LRC karaoke file to bring everywhere along on my MuVo, but there were problems, as expected. First of all, hardly any LRC could be found on at least english sites, i have to browse chinese and who knows whatnot sites to have a slight chance to find a file. I somehow managed to find the karaokes for a Rammstein and a Dream Theater album back sometime, but a great Skindred like We Want is hopeless to find. No matter, then turn ourselves into karaoke-makers!

Now listening to the Gamma Ray live recording of Victim of Fate, after a short wiking (neologism, etc etc), i realised that those heavy and/or power metal bands i know—quite a lot of them—are/were main or side projects of Kai Hansen. That man is really a great musician.

It’s also strange how unstable one’s mental state could be. For example, a single word could cheer me up, but in a matter of sentences i could be just as down as possible alive. Else. In the afternoon i was reading Queen Loana (naturally not the full title, i’m lazy to write it all), and as i wrote about it earlier, i really like it. It’s just so… well, i can’t translate this feel into words. Doesn’t matter anyway…

So. I haven’t done anything else today than went to church, came home, read the aforementioned book, wrote a post, had lunch, read, felt sick, slept, read, drove my gran home and here i am filling my MuVo with various kinds of music. I really should finish that Yann Martel audio book, on the one hand because it’s really good, on the other hand because it takes up a load of space.

You have read our daily not-worth-reading post. Tcha.

Ethereal

I installed Feed Reader and Ethereal on my laptop. To be honest, i don’t really like FR, simply because it couldn’t import my live bookmarks from FireFox, and i no way want to manually do that… Sorry FR, that’s an uninstall for you, i’m an impatient type. On the other hand, Ethereal is just fantastic. I never would’ve thought this much data could be captured so easily. I already have winpcap for it, but i’m seriously thinking of getting airpcap too, since my laptop’s running on a wireless network… Naturally only if it’s free, and too bad as far as i know now, it isn’t.

Life has that good quality, that nothing ever goes how i plan it. Sometimes this backfires badly, and hurts those the most i love the most. It sucks to the tenth power that i can learn how to drive in a month, one can learn skating in the matter of hours, can learn a language in a few years, but i damn no way could learn how to live my life right – in eighteen years.
