site seems to be down since 7pm last nite. dunno what's up, but hope they fix it soon enough. well, when u see this message, that means they're probably up already. hehe.

harrybons just realized his house now has mice! on contrary, this mouse is extremeley cute. i think it's a pet or something, but he's found 3 of them already. he let them go off in the streets but i think they'd just come back since they did find a way in in the first place. hehe

today's game was dissapointing. It was SO CLOSE! but the angels have won this game. the score was 11-10 and both giants and angels have made astonishing comebacks. oh well, next game is on tuesday in SF. GO GIANTS!!!

while i was on the phone with AOL several days ago. (wondering why? well go check out why here) anyway, the customer service representative (from now on will be referred to as CSR) called me ma'am. i mean, it's cool. my name toland is really unisex + i guess my voice isn't that deep. anyway, i don't really mind being called ma'am since i want the call to get over as soon as possible and getting into an argument that i'm a guy will just extend the time i have to speak with the CSR. this isn't the first time. over 80% of my calls to stores, service, or calls from stupid telemarketers has always acknowledged me as a miss/ma'am. then today, i realized that there is a benefit of being acknowledge as a female! i mean they're usually nicer to females, more likely to do what you asked them to, and DEFINITELY LESS RUDE. hehe.

today's been a rather crazy day. not only did the Giant's win Game 1 of the world series, but i ran outta space on my 180GB rig today. The Giant's were awesome and it was a well played game. when Robb Nen entered the 9th inning, i knew the Giant's had the game within their grasp. Nen has had a perfect post season so far. Anyway, i tend to like to go against the mainstream because there's no fun going with the main crowd. if i'm wrong then it's a given. if i'm right, then it'll be the best feeling. but looks like giants are going to kick angels butt this time. (angels/socal fans - sorry if this offended you in anyway). anyway, rumor is that robb nen is signing autographs on monday for those that are interested in SF Niketown. More info in this post from FatWallet. I may look like a traitor, but read that post and find out why! As for my harddrive, chk out this pic:

Any idea what was on this drive? this was all unlicensed anime! this doesn't included the licensed anime in a separated drive. for time being, new anime will be going into my upload drive. but i really have no idea what to burn right now. nothing is complete yet and i hate burning anime before it's finished. sigh...

i've gotten a question from several pppl regarding the caricature i posted up a few days ago. RTFM means "Read the f*ck*ng manual!". just to clear this up incase you've been pondering on what it means.

welp, that's all for tonite. cya tomorrow. btw, if you have time, i'd really appreciate if you sign the guestbook. Arigatou Gozaimasta. ^_^x

sigh... one thing i always forget to do is change the date on these entries. anyway, php is so cool! i rewrote my menu.php file and the file shrunk for 551 lines of code to 154. nice huh? i've redone the menu images for the heck of it. i removed several things if you may have noticed. first was the webstats. i decided i should be the only one to have access to this info so too bad ;p. as for the guestbook, dreambook just didn't cut it, so i decided to remove it until i find a better one which i like, or maybe... maybe i can implement one of my own. i do have the access to do so now. hehe. ^_^x

remember that argument of size i had awhile ago. well, the class finally got there and it was proven so. all the questions i had asked is answered. if you're interested in finding out why the set of integers is the same size as natural #s, then you should check out this lecture note.

3 new doodles are up. not part of my best work i've gotta say. but doodles are doodles. ^_^x

UPDATE: YES YES YES! After 45mins of fidgeting with perl and cgi-scripts, i finally got a working GuestBook. comments and feedback about all these new changes would be nice. ^_^x

found out i have no cs hw due this friday so i'm one happy man! first friday that i've been free! my cs61b midterm grades are up. got a 28.5 outta 40. mean was 26 and median was 27. i guess i should be happy since i was expected somewhere around the C range. On Thu, 17 Oct 2002, Paul Hilfinger wrote: "The midterm is graded and grades are now on-line. Mean score 26. Median: 27. Since my grading scale is predicated on a mean of 20, I'd say this is pretty good! PNH"

well, speaking of CS, someone posted this caricature online in our newsgroup. it's so funny yet it's so true!

not sure if i've mentioned this before, but my cell fone scared the heck outta me again. was taking a nap when suddenly i heard a buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz... of course since only my computer is on, i thought the noise was generating from there. i was like o shoot, did something die!?!?! my computer is my baby. nothing bad is allowed to happen to it. of course it's also my slave working 24/7 ;p. current status:

anyway, back to main topic. i was half way done my bed when i realized that my cellphone was in vibrate mode. (it's embarrassing when your fone rings in class!!!) after that happened once, i've learnt my lesson. well, there was a sigh of relief that there was nothing wrong with my baby. hehe. ^_^x

thanks to fantasy for donating this link. it's hilarious and seems to be written by some teenager. just some very funny stuff to pass your time with. there were also other interesting items i found in the main page. stuff like reason why no one after jesus has seen/talked to god is because he's asleep. hehe. ;p

welp, more to come tomorrow! cunndogg is heading to SD this weekend for a sailing competition! wish him luck + i get the apartment ALL to myself. MUHAHAHAHA! think of all the possibilities! SLEEP + SLEEP + MORE SLEEP!! ^_^x

my envision 17" flat screen monitor came in today! can't believe i'll be getting this free after rebates. well, there were $7 of tax involved but hey, that's still a great deal! ^_^x another good thing about UPS is that they accept shipments too! sent out 2 boxes through UPS today, both through the same UPS guy. the UPS guy was nice, helped carry my monitor up 2 flights of stairs, but then when he was walking up the 3rd flight for another delivery, he dropped one of the boxes marked 'FRAGILE'. *shrug* thank god that wasn't my package.

throughout my life, there has been only a few people who could actually piss me off. i mean they really have to try super hard to do it! i'm not one to get easily pissed off. in fact even when someone tries, i usually just brush it off as a joke. i can't evene remember the last time i was pissed, but my landlady just went overboard. during the first week we moved in, she called down and 'asked' us to quiet down so she can sleep. i agree we were playing our music a bit loud so we apologized and turned the volume down. the next day she called again and said we were talking too loudly while we were just talking at normal noise levels. well, since she was the apartment manager, we didn't wanna have any trouble with her, so after 12am, we talked really softly upto the extent of a whisper. then one time she called @ 11:30pm (even before the curfew she set) and asked us to be quiet. another nite, my partner was working on a project and we received a call. what turned the tables was when she called my roommate's parents and complained. i mean to go to that extent is just declaring war. now instead of asking, she demands. my roommate and i got so pissed we asked liam for help (since his mom's a lawyer) and he helped us find the tenants' rights advocacy group and we explained the situation. the person @ the end of the line told us it was absurb that u cant even speak @ a normal noise level, and told us that we didn't have to worry about this leading up to a case to evict us. what i really want to say next time she calls is ask her to be reasonable. we've tried to compromise, but having to whisper?!?!? i mean she's the one that made the attack first and hasn't stopped firing @ us.

thanks to HKenshin, he gave me these 2 links to d/l kenshin manga:
Manga Downloads
RK Manga Project
the 2nd link contains better scans imho, but only contains the Memory Arc and the Jinchuu Arc. this was and still is my favorite anime as u will see i like to use his smiley face ( ^_^x ) if u still don't get it, read the manga. ^_^x
