Seagate Drives Suck

Barcode James — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:11:12 +0000

About a month ago, I purchased a Seagate 1.5gb SATA Hard drive. I thought it was a pretty good drive. It was fast, and large. You want to know what is about the drive? It died on me. And that isn’t even the best part. I RMAed the drive, and LITERALLY the night after I got the refurbed drive back… it died on me again! So on monday, Seagate is going to get a not so friendly phone call.

The Importance of Backups

Note to self: Always make regular backups of your mysql database.

If you do not backup your mysql database on a regular basis, then when your webserver’s admin decides to randomly drop the database you will be screwed. I had to revert to an older database backup, because I hadn’t made a recent update, and the admin decided to randomly delete the database on me.

Iphone obsession

Barcode James — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 13:44:49 +0000

So I have noticed that the world seems to be obsessed with iphones. Almost all the major youtube stars I see, have iphones. I’m perfectly fine with that. Though what I have also noticed is all the iphone accessories. I mean sure, there are lots of other phones that have tons of accessories for them, but with the iphone, there are tons of different wild and crazy cases. I’ve seen a channel on youtube, and there is several videos on that channel about several different cases. In my opinion, you don’t need a million different cases for one phone. Just make a single type of case that completely protects the phone, but still lets you get to all the hardware buttons, and lets you use the touch screen (if it has one) with no trouble at all. I have also noticed that there are some people that are pretty obsesed with iphones. I just don’t see what the big deal is. So you have a phone made by apple… congrats, you got a overly locked down phone with an apple logo on the back of it, big deal. Personally, I don’t really care for iphones that much. That is why I have an LG Incite instead. It also has a touch screen, and it is a heck of a lot less locked down, and you know what the best part about my phone is, compared to the iphone? I can put new apps on it that microsoft hasn’t approved of. Can your pretty little iphone do that? Nope! You have to jailbreak it. Whoops, new firmware came out… you lose, now you gotta re-jailbreak your iphone so you can put more 3rd party apps on your phone, while I’m still sitting here with my incite just as happy as can be with my 3rd party apps. I can even bluetooth the apps from my computer to my phone… whoops, just beat the iphone there again. Apple messed with the iphone’s bluetooth also. No bluetooth file transfer for the iphone, unless you jailbreak your it. So, sure, I guess the iphone is a good phone, but like I said before, you don’t need a crap load of different cases for it… and how about atleast giving support for stereo bluetooth headsets? How about those mp3 ringtones? I bet an iphone user would have some really fancy mp3 ringtones wouldn’t they? Whoops, the iphone doesn’t use mp3 ringtones either… my incite does… it even supports midi ringtones. I have the super mario theme in the form of a midi file, and I love it. I even bluetoothed it to my friend’s brother, because he liked it too. I wish you could do that with a non jailbroken iphone… well you couldn’t even do that with a jailbroken iphone… they don’t use mp3 ringtones. Thats just my personal opinion. Don’t let me stop you from liking, or buying an iphone. You just won’t see me with one.

Decal to opt-out of decal program

Barcode James — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:49:30 +0000

vending machine decal

Quoted from decal: “This Decal is to be placed on those vending machines owned by vending operations not wanting to participate in the vending decal program.”

So in other words, if you don’t want to be part of the vending decal program, put this decal on your vending machine. If someone could please explain that to me, that would be great.

Randomness 5

Barcode James — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:35:31 +0000

So Im sitting here in my second period class… by myself! Im a teacher’s aide this period, and it is her conference period, so there is no students in her class this period. Also, she left to go observe another teacher… the teachers are suposed to do that every so often for a certain number of times (I forget all the details though). That makes me the only person in here, so that means I am “free to do what I want.” I can’t think of anything, so I decided that I would make another randomness post, because I haven’t done that in a while. Anyways, a week or two ago, I was sitting in first period, doing my work, and the other students beside me looked over and asked what job I was on. Now by job, I mean that we are doing work from a book, and it is split into sections called jobs. So I told them that I was on job 18. At home I spend most of my free time on my computer, so I have become fairly good at typing. Apparently they were only on somewhere around job 6 to 12. That was the first time I was ever asked to stop working, so for the past couple of days in first period, I didn’t do anything, but surf the interwebs. We have this web service called moodle where we turn in the jobs that we are finished with, and the teacher had added jobs one through 18, so I went ahead and turned in all of those jobs and completed job 19… I don’t know, I just like to have atleast one job ahead of what we are curently on… but in this case, the teacher told us to get as far as we can… so that is what I was trying to do, until the entire left half of the class asked me to stop working. I guess it wasn’t to bad though, because tomorrow, we are having a test over jobs 1-12, so I don’t even need to deal with 13-19 yet… but I went ahead and did them anyways. So anyways, I was sitting here typing all this out, and I noticed that for one thing, I still have way to much time left in this class, and two, the computer next to me has a mousepad with a big rip in it. I know that you probably don’t care, but then again, it doesn’t really matter, because the whole purpose of these randomness posts is just so that I have something to do while I am bored, and you can have something random to read when you should really be doing something else (e.x. job, homework, research, etc.), but are just to lazy to be doing that. And now I guess I have to end this post, because I am out of random stuff to type about…yeah

Getting in trouble for Sneezing

ninjamaster8 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:41:29 +0000

So today we had a Macbeth play presentation thinga mabob, and at the end after it was over and the cast was doing question and answer time, I had to sneeze really bad… and when I sneeze, it isn’t a normal sneeze, its an EPIC SNEEZE! Almost the entire room heard it, and then one of the teacher/staff whatcha-macallit thought I was being a douche, and so he sent me to the office!
