Two weeks down
October 7th, 2009
I started working out two weeks ago following the Chalean Extreme exercise videos. Here’s an update as of today! Right now!
Current status: humid. It’s just humid. I’m fine though.
Current eating habits: I have 3 Häagen-Dazs’ ice creams in the freezer.
Current work out habits: 5 days a week. Tired at the end of each night.
Weight as of Oct/7/2009: 51.8kg, body fat ~9%
That’s a savings of 2kg and about 3% body fat! Of course, the body fat measurement is ridiculously inaccurate.
Current feelings: I believe that I am entitled to eat 2kg worth of ice cream now.

Current status: bad.
Current eating habits: 2 items from Coffee Time on my counter ready to be consumed. I also eat apples and grapes on top of the junk food.
Current work out habits: Just started 4 days ago with Chalean Extreme.
Weight as of Aug 28, 2009: 53.8kg, body fat 12.1%
I was supposed to start working out from this date but you know… I didn’t.
Current feelings: I haven’t done cardio since 1998 when running 5-10km a was a walk in the park(Age 13, body fat 6.5%). I know what it means to push mental boundaries and continue running but I never felt myself nearly blacking out and about to vomit before. Day 4 of Chalean extreme was intense and I didn’t pace myself for it correctly. Hopefully I’ll do the Burn Intervals until the end next time so I can make it to the Ab Burner exercise without feeling sick. Until then, my stomach folds looks forward to the snacks.
Mac fan or not. The evolution of apple products is awesome.

People who look the same in every picture

When you take a picture you tend to stand/pose how you feel most comfortable. That’s just fine. However, can you look the same in every picture like these people?

CS 1.6 Teamspeak rage
April 17th, 2009
There are many different online games that span different genres today. Board games, card games, flash games, first person shooters, real time strategy games, and massive multiplayer online games are all very popular. They allow people to play alone against others or together in groups against other groups. As such, communication is a vital component of any game that involves any sort of team play.
Communication is available in text based chat and in many FPS games, in-game voice. For most intents and purposes these two forms of communication work just fine. However, the limits to text based chat is obvious as players must stop their actions to type. In-game voice is often limited to speaking to teammates who are dead or alive. More importantly though is that in-game voice only functions inside the actual game itself.
In response to civony
April 16th, 2009
Civony, an online simulation game, recently started ads featuring a girl with an open blouse next to images of the game and text saying, “Build your empire, your queen is waiting.” I thought, wow, that’s a LAAAMEE ad. Putting a partially undressed girl next to images of a low-res two dimensional empire building simulation game? You can even see how cheesy they were with ‘meshing’ the images together.

Teksavvy High Latency Saga (resolved)
April 16th, 2009
There are very few ISPs available in Ontario. The choices are essentially Bell high speed DSL and Rogers cable internet. Bell delivers their service through the same copper loops being used on phonelines while Rogers uses their coaxial cables that also carry their TV signals.
Bell used to be the only DSL provider in Ontario. However, a ruling in 2008 forced them to open up their lines to competitors because the copper loops were originally funded by the Government and Bell was holding a monopoly through its ownership of the lines.
Enter 3rd party DSL providers: Teksavvy, Velcom, and Acanac.
