Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart Captcha is fairly common on the Internet. It’s used to prevent spam. It looks like this: Yeah. You’ve probably seen it before. Well today, RogerHub got it’s first spam comment (Yay!) So, I deleted it, and I put this fairly useless spam-prevention thing on all the comment forms. So, have fun typing those 6 digit numbers. Another thing: I’ve added a pop-up Mooosic player that you can open by clicking "pop-up player" on the mooosic sidebar gadget. (props to waverly) -Roger Show-off picture It doesn’t look that great when you zoom in. So don’t zoom in. I updated the Boggert About Page with Screenshots. Go check it out :)

.. with the owner’s permission of course. Yes, it’s possible. And without fancy firewall configs too! TeamViewer! You don’t even have to install it! Click the Start Full Version - It’s Free! button and when you’re prompted, choose "Run" instead of "Install". (Choosing "Run") Both you and your partner need TeamViewer in order for you to hijack their computer. You’ll both get a screen that looks like this: The to-be-hijacked computer should tell the hijacker the ID and Password that shows up on their screen. The hijacker enters in the username and password, and bam. You’ve just hijacked their computer! You can use their computer just as if you were sitting right beside them. If you’re wondering, the wallpaper I’m using is from InterfaceLIFT.com. Same place as last time.. This morning, the mailman drove his mailtruck onto our street as he usually did. But once he came, the pouring rain suddenly… more →

Yeah, I know Bing is old news. Bing is more visually appealing. And for general searching, both search sites are sufficient. But I still prefer Google for many reasons: First, Google has been around for much longer. If you can’t get to google.com, it means that your internet is dead, not theirs. And, Google hasn’t changed their homepage in years. There’s no ads (usually), and no fancy flash content (like in Yahoo and Bing). Yeah. Very nice. If you have double or triple monitors and your desktop is spanned, it looks great. Second, Google’s search algorithm is noticeably better. So, if I’m trying to get to Art of Problem Solving’s AMC 12 Archive, I would type in "AMC 12 Problems". AoPS is dominant in archiving a lot of math competition stuff, so it makes sense that they would be first in the results. Google Search There it… more →

So, I will be taking the 70-680 in January. Just because I have nothing better to do. "[SCCM 2007] works with Windows Server 2008 Network Policy Server (NPS) to restrict computers from accessing the network if they do not meet specified requirements, such as having security updates installed." -Microsoft 70-680 Training Kit So, if you can’t access the network, how do you get your security updates? ._. -Roger

[A man condemned to be hanged] was sentenced on Saturday. "The hanging will take place at noon," said the judge to the prisoner, "on one of the seven days of next week. But you will not know which day it is until you are so informed on the morning of the day of the hanging." The judge was known to be a man who always kept his word. The prisoner, accompanied by his lawyer, went back to his cell. As soon as the two men were alone, the lawyer broke into a grin. "Don’t you see?" he exclaimed. "The judge’s sentence cannot possibly be carried out." "I don’t see," said the prisoner. "Let me explain They obviously can’t hang you next Saturday. Saturday is the last day of the week. On Friday afternoon you would still be alive and you would know with… more →

Version 2. -Directory based. No database needed. -Stack overflow protection -One level directories -Password protected directories Don’t forget to .htaccess the admin panel. Attachment: PHP Photos v2.rar -Roger

Photo uploading/sharing script in PHP. No Database Needed. Runs on random numbers (for increments) and directory listings. I tried to make all the code easy to understand. Have fun :) Attachment: Photo v1 packed.rar (I used some external libraries like JQuery and this Photo-manipulation one in PHP. Credits to their authors.) You should put a .htaccess password on the admin directory asap. This took me 43 minutes to make.. :(

So, in English, we had to do a persuasive speech where you and a partner would take opposite sides on an issue and debate about it. I ended up arguing about something that most people don’t pay attention to: Meat. Yeah, everyone eats meat. Well, except for those select few that have realized the truth. Meat itself isn’t bad for you or the environment. But the processed and manufactured meats that we all eat today cause huge problems in the world. First off, it’s been proven that vegetarians are healthier and live longer than normal people. And if you think about it, it makes sense. Vegetarians aren’t all skinny and malnourished like you think they would be. Most vegetarians are actually healthier and more fit than the majority of the population. And yes. Even though you avoid meat and pills, you can still get all your… more →

So, it rained today, which is really cool since we don’t get a lot of rain here in LA. Everyone was using umbrellas and everything felt a lot more lively since the weather did something new for a change. There are some aquaphobes at school that have their umbrellas out even though they’re walking under the hanging. I mean, what’s the point of that? You’re not going to get rained on if you’re underneath the roofs. Maybe they just enjoy drying their umbrellas on other peoples’ heads. If you’re going to use your umbrella, stay out in the rain. Otherwise, put it away... Rain makes for some nice pictures: Yeahh.. and my desktop gadget that tells me the weather changed too: I wonder what the hail/snow one looks like... -Roger Me: Okay, just tell me your IP and MAC address. Stranger: But I use Windows... Haha.. yeah that wasn’t… more →

If your programs use XML, HTML, RSS, or anything based in XML, there’s a tool that will encode non-english characters into XML-safe UTF versions. http://pinyin.info/tools/converter/chars2uninumbers.html Yeahh, have fun. source

(Technical post. Normal people: Don’t even bother reading this.) The title is a bit ambiguous but I’m talking about the hardware drivers in Microsoft Windows 7. Yeahh. No more googling for drivers, I’m serious. I already told you about Win7 and my network card. If you don’t remember, Windows 7 detected my network card and installed the driver immediately. As opposed to XP where I had to look for drivers. So, the same thing happened with my printer today. But that’s not all. I have a HP Printer hooked up to a Windows 7 32bit computer. But my own computer is 7 x64. Yeah, crap. I thought about loading the 64-bit driver on the 32-bit machine so that my 64-bit computer would work with the shared printer. But Windows pointed me back to Google again.. sighs. So, I share the printer anyways and I go back… more →

Sad... SADAKO AND THE PAPER CRANE 2005 is the 60th anniversary of the bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, using nuclear weapons. The United States military dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima at 8.15am on 6 August 1945. Another atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki at 11.02am on 9 August 1945. In Hiroshima, 90,000 people were killed immediately. In Nagasaki, the nuclear blast instantly killed 40,000 people. By the end of 1945, over 145,000 people had died in Hiroshima, and another 75,000 people had died in Nagasaki. Tens of thousands more suffered serious injuries. Deaths among survivors of the bombings have continued over the years due primarily to the effects of radiation exposure. On the 60th anniversary of this act of terror, people around the world are saying “Never Again!” They are calling for nuclear disarmament by all… more →
