Annual No Pants Subway Ride! 2K8 NYC

Yesterday I was on the 6 train at around 3 going to see a friend. All of a sudden, this guy walks in at the Brooklyn Bridge station and starts taking off his pants. I look at him weird, like what is this guy doing? I figured that he was a jogger and that he just finished his route. Note: Below is NOT the guy I saw. :)

Nope, Check out these sexy legs! I was wrong, it was the annual No Pants Subway Ride Day. Check out the pictures here! I’m defiantly participating next year!

One Year Anniversary Of Blogging

Yep, this month marks my first year of blogging! I’m proud of what I have produced here, raised some good money with ads and allowed me to share my knowledge to the public.

However, I believe I did not do enough in terms of consistency and quality of the content. Hopefully 2008 will give me time to do this but it is defiantly going to be hard. I’m juggling a few things, school, work and my personal life.

I’m just glad that I can contribute to the growing blogosphere! :)

I’m Missing In Action for November

You can probably guess why I’ve been MIA for a while. It’s because of school and other stuff. But it’s Thanksgiving today and I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. I’m currently staying with my friend in Nyack, NY.

Some of you may be heading out to Black Friday events. Be safe and dress warmly!

This is a nice website for Black Friday deals!

Apple Leopard Hacked - Install On A PC!

Sorry I haven’ been posting lately, a little busy. Here is a little something taken stright from dailyapps.

Well its been only a day since the Mac OSX Leopard was released officially by Apple and the hackers have managed to create a patched DVD that everyone like you and me can use to install Leopard on PC’s without having to buy a Mac. Please note the tutorial that I am going to post is still experimental and things might not work the right way simply because it is still early days in hacking Leopard to work on PC’s. Well if you don’t mind your PC getting screwed then go ahead and try out this tutorial.

Make sure you backup all important data before you proceed. Here are the things that you will need before Install Leopard on your PC…

  • The Patched DVD Image
  • The zip file containing the patch
  • One pen drive or USB Flash Drive formatted as FAT32

Well once you have all these you can go ahead and Install Leopard..

Step 1. Getting things ready

  • Burn the DVD Image onto a Single Layer DVD-R using a software like Nero.
  • Format the USB Flash Drive and the drive label should be “Patcher” without the quotes. Please note it has to be “Patcher” only and nothing else for the patch to work when we apply it later.
  • Extract the Zip file and put its contents into the USB Flash Drive.
  • Now your USB Drive should contain a folder called “files”, if it doesn’t then check to see where you have gone wrong.

Step 2. Installing Leopard

  • Now that you have the Patched DVD with you, you can now install Leopard. Pop in the DVD into the drive and boot into it by pressing F12 at the BIOS Prompt.
  • Boot into the DVD and the installer should now load. It take a while though, so be patient.
  • Select your Language and make sure you select Customize and you need to deselect all the packages that are displayed.
  • Leopard will now install. This can take a while, so go grab yourself a coffee.
  • It will ask you to Reboot, so go ahead and Reboot. Before rebooting make sure that USB Flash Drive is connected to the PC.

Step 3. Patching Leopard

  • Now that you have got Leopard installed, you need to patch it. Before we do that Boot into the Leopard DVD like the way you did before.
  • Wait for the Darwin Bootloader to load. Once it loads up press F8. You should now see a prompt. Type -s and hit enter. The DVD will now load in Verbose mode. Watch for any errors. It should load without a problem because you have already installed Leopard.
  • Once the setup is loaded select your Language. Once done you should now be seeing the Welcome Screen. Once there navigate to Utilities-Terminal.
  • Once the terminal loads up, you now need to browse to your USB Drive, so follow the steps below, typing it exactly as it appears below in the Terminal. In the command line type the following as they appear herecd ..
    cd ..
    cd Volumes
    cd Patcher
    cd files
    Notice the space between cd and the 2 dots.
  • Now its the time to run the patcher to make sure Leopard will work on your PC. Type the following into the Terminal. ./9a581PostPatch.sh
  • The Patch should now run. You can answer Yes while removing the ACPUPowerManagement.kext
  • After the Script is done, you should now be able to Boot into Leopard after you restart.

Step 4. Congratulations! You’ve done the Impossible!

Well that was it. Please note this has not been extensively tested, so most of your Hardware like Sound, Network may not work. If something goes wrong for you or you want to help us, then please join the discussion over at OSX86Scene. If you noticed I haven’t posted the links to the Torrent that contains the DVD image and the zip. Well I haven’t posted them because I am sure the lawyers over at Apple are going to sue the hell out of me. If you wondering where you can find them, then head over to Demonoid and search for it.

For help see this and this. Hopefully I will have time soon! :)

Web 3.0 - Mobile Takeover Up and Rising

What is Web 3.o? Some people still don’t know what Web 2.0 is yet. Guru’s are struggling to define the next revolution but some agree that Web 3.0 is the mobile takeover of the internet. Web 2.0 applications will join Web 3.0 in letting users use that application on mobile devices. Mozilla is already developing it’s Firefox WAP browser soon to be available on mobile phone. Opera already has a successful WAP browser. Slowly services are appearing on mobile phones as we speak. Google has done a nice job of releasing some useful mobile services. Hopefully others will follow.

Web 3.0 means that there will be more money for wireless carriers all of the world! They will put more emphasis in marketing mobile internet and start to offer free WAP as an incentive for people to switch over to their carriers. It’s both a win-win situation because we will start seeing free or more affordable data plans.

Podcast Episode #1 for Stony Brook University

Welcome to my first podcast! I had some time this afternoon and all the right tools so I decided to run a podcasting trial. I’m sorry that I sound a little tired, it’s because I am, future recordings shouldn’t be that bad. I am going to have to take some caffeine pills or something. :) I’m new to podcasting and never did one before today but I hope this becomes successful!

So I will do a podcast every week recapping on my posts for the week, I will give a brief summary of each of my posts and add a little that I might have missed. So without further ado, here is my first podcast.

Saturday To-Do-List Dilemma

Stony Brook is amazing! Not only are we playing our rival school on Long Island, the Seawolves v.s Hofstra football game this Saturday but Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra is also performing at our Staller Center for the Arts. The problem is that I want to go to both events however both events conflict. The football game is an away game so I would have to hop on the bus at our stadium and take a ride to Hofstra at 5PM or I can wait and attend the Wynton Marsalis event at 8PM.

Now both are great events but I think clearly one is more worth it to attend. Wynton Marsalis by far the “once in a lifetime” event to see. For those of you who don’t know who he is, Wynton Marsalis is one of the “most prominent jazz musicians of the modern era and is also a well-known instrumentalist in classical music”. I have contacted Perry, our director of Undergraduate Music for tickets. I can go to a Stony Brook football game any other time but, Wynton Marsalis to most of us would be a once in a lifetime event.

I’ll take pictures when I get there and post it on my next post! Peace out!

Being Successful Is To Make Your Own Start Page

A current project (SBUGuide) I’m currently working on needed an extra boost of inspiration to push deadlines across to our staff. So I decided to create my own start page for the project. I then made all the staff members add that start page as their home pages on their browsers so they would constantly be reminded to do their work. (neat idea by Joey)

This start page consists of three parts which are easy to implement. The first part is inserting your company logo. Users have to know who’s start page they are seeing, it looks more professional and makes the page look a lot nicer.

Second is to including a simple search field so if at anytime, someone wants to use Google or Yahoo to do a search, they can do it right from the start page. It’s essential for any start page to have www search. Also in addition to adding search, it’s good to add other links as well so they are also quickly accessible by your users. Our staff requested Yahoo and Blackboard to be added as links.

The third step, which is exclusive for our project is the calendar by Google. Jobs and deadlines are color coded so our staff can easily organize and know when things are suppose to be done by when . Of course, the calendar is optional for your start page but it is essential to ours.

I will write up a tutorial on how to make your own start page step-by-step.

In the meantime you can check out our hot SBUGuide Start Page!

Let me know what you think. :)

My Sunday Project - Personal vCard Webpage

Many people go to church on Sunday’s, I spent an hour designing my own vCard contact page. Of course that’s not all I did today, that would be ridiculous! I was able to get some of my work done in the library today and came back and had some fun. But let me tell you more about what a vCard is and maybe you’d be interested in making one yourself. Questions can be asked and posted in the comments area. :)

What is vCard?
Wikipedia defines (so does the rest of the world) it as “vCard is a file format standard for personal data interchange, specifically electronic business cards. vCards are often attached to e-mail messages, but can be exchanged in other ways, such as on the World Wide Web. They can contain name, address information, phone numbers, URLs, logos, photographs, and other optional fields.” It’s occasionally used with Microsoft Office.

So, it’s like a rolodex and a vCard is just one entry in someones rolodex. Simple right? Well yeah it is! A lot of people also like to create a simple personal webpage to tell people a little about themselves and their qualifications. Things that would go on these pages may include a résumé or a.k.a curriculum vitae (CV) and a vCard so one can download it and add it to their personal rolodex address book.

There’s two easy parts in this, the first part to is to actually make the vCard and the second part is to make the simple webpage that goes with presenting your vCard.

If you want to create a page like this, download my vCard creator package.
