I was tag-searching Technorati for Zerg, and came across two interesting sponsored links:

If you want to calculate the first few numbers in the Fibonacci sequence:
: { 1, 1 } -> L1
: 2 -> A
: While 1
: A + 1 -> A
: L1( A - 2 ) + L1( A - 1 ) -> L1
: EndYou will end up with L1, a list of the first few Fibonacci numbers up to nearly 10100, where overflow will occur. If you want to print the numbers too, just add this in the while loop (second last line):
: Disp L1( A )
Just like the Jamaicans have the rythm, my maths teacher has the rhyme in his blood. He undeliberately said a five-line rhyming poem today:
un
Equals ten
And n
Then
Equals eleven
IB kills my time
WP plugins are so cool
Need multitasking
It feels like all of my time goes to my IB studies right now. When am I supposed to write my WordPress plugins? I’ve got five plugin ideas in my to-do list right now. Perhaps I should write a to-do plugin.
WordPress Database backup is one of the default plugins that come with WordPress. It is very useful, and I use it frequently on a blog on another host. However, I’ve had a problem on with this host that I hadn’t been able to solve for months. When I tried to either save, download or email the backup, I got the following error in a Javascript popup:
The backup directory is not writeable! Please check the permissions for writing to your backup directory and try again.
The page only said this:
Creating backup file…
The backup directory is not writeable!
I was sure that the pop-up was wrong — the backup-directory was chmoded to 777 (read, write and execute for everyone). Today I noticed that the owner for the backup-directory was “80″, and not “3619″ as for every other directory. Thus I deleted it and re-created it, this time by hand through the FTP client instead letting the plugin do the job.
I tried backing the database up again, and this time it worked just fine.
Dreams are aestethic
Illogical, sub-concious
Not worthy of hex
I just made a very important decision: not to order the dreams in my dream log with hexadecimal. Everything looks so small in hex — just look at this haiku. #17. Actually, it’s the 24th haiku posted. Therefore, the dream count will be in decimal. Yes, my haikus are unimportant enough to write them about this.
There was a chess competition in a Terran command center. The only scene that I remembered was about a commander discussing important plans about an attack on the Zerg with his secretary. Stellan Brynell, Swedish chess champion, was also there, using the phone. He turned around, and held the phone upside-down. When the commander realized that Brynell eavesdropping on the conversation, Brynell showed that he was infested with the Zerg and shot a parasite on the commander. The secretary ran in panic.
I dreamt this during a chess competition, and the night before, I played Starcraft. I am not surprised.
Google for lyrics
All the lyrics of your dreams
With free smile downloads
I hate all the cheesy lyrics sites filled with advertisement. Either that, or I adore them. I suppose I’m just mad because I didn’t come up with the idea first. Really, they’ve got to become millionaires over and over again.
I’m testing a WordPress plugin that I just wrote, CurMusic. It creates two additional fields when you post, one for the artist and one for the song title. The idea is that it’s supposed to create statistics after a while, but I’m afraid I’m too lazy to do that. At least it writes what I’m listening to now.
I’m going away now, and will post the source code some time when I get back.
I just tried installing Ardour 2, a work station for digital audio, on 64-bit Fedora Core 4. This is the complete log from the scons command:

The error was:
‘g_access’ was not declared in this scope
Turns out I had just forgotten to update glib. Ardour requires at least glib 2.10.
