http://novus.byvolce.com The Blog of Jonathan Solichin Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:36:10 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Unlike your usual bunch of USB watches, Timex Ironman USB Data Link System is not a usb storage on a watch (it only has 31424 bytes of memory). Instead, it is a prime example of geekery (Binary time anyone?). In fact it is advertised as "the watch that thinks it ... http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/06/timex-ironman-data-link-system-usb-review/ If you are reading this you are lucky. My hosting provider (Hostmonster) has been very unreliable lately. It was down for almost a day yesterday and still crawling today. I don't recommend them. Sorry if you weren't able to reach me then. http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/06/hostmonster/ Many people ask the question "why am I here (on earth)?", but I think it is also as important to ask "how did I get here (and how did I become me)?" because sometimes we need to look back and see that our life hasn't been one mistake after another. ... http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/06/question-on-life/ To my little friend! The Journal. The new journal will allow me to post little things while still featuring articles as the main content. :D http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/06/say-hello/ Yes, we are finally live. After grueling hours and hours of painful coding, we are finished (or at least to my knowledge, comment if you find any bugs please, it would be much appreciated). How do you like it? Sorry the theme is going dark again. So if you're a ... http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/06/hello-world-revision-5-unleashed/ To tell you the truth, I wasn't very satisfied with the current design I've set up a couple month ago. Don't get me wrong, I've learned a lot, and It was good practice. But I think it's a bit cramped and constricted. Unlike this version, the new theme won't be as ... http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/06/teaser-a-secret-behind-the-scene-of-the-5th-revision-of-the-blog/ For those unfamiliar on February 2009, analog tv will no longer work and you will need either a digital tv or a converter box. Thankfully the US Gov. has set up a program that will let you get a discount of $40 toward a converter box. So I decided to ... http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/06/unboxing-and-review-of-zenith-dtt900-dtv-converter-box/ So here is another frustrating, fun and challenging adventure I undertook. The goal of the project is to use an old laptop (Pentium III, 64mb ram) to create a good enough system that can serve as a portable internet tv. In other words, a box capable of running macromedia flash ... http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/06/another-adventure-with-linux-puppy-linux-edition/ So a couple of weeks ago was my friend's birthday. Of course like any cheap frugal artistic person, I decided I was going to make him something. After all anything I buy at the store, he can get himself right? And like they always say, it's the thought that counts. ... http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/05/156/ So a couple of days ago, I decided my computer was starting to lag too much and I should reinstall it. The original plan was to create a new partition (using my trusty sysresccd which has qtparted. A free hard drive partitioner that can resize ntfs.) on my hard drive ... http://novus.byvolce.com/2008/04/what-to-do-after-formatting-your-hard-drive-accidentally/
